Why Nilou is BETTER Than You Think! | Genshin Impact 3.6

[@Zy0x]

bloom go brrr haha lol also regarding constellations: not needed but C2 gives nice RES shred + C1 a bit more hydro app. others help mainly for on field. - not needed at ALL and wasn’t the purpose of this video, but C2 is nice for team DPS and can be worth it (but i typically recommend other more flexible upgrades like nahida/nahida C2). Lvl 90 nilou full hp no need to level anything else (talents, weapon unless key) and ur already doing good damage - just gotta play around her weaknesses. Beware of certain elemental enemies/shields though as nilou teams need only dendro/hydro units (which is where the swapping teams part comes in very clutch, if possible, as I mentioned). nilou very cool 👍 & excuse the delay on this video i had to go pickup my new passport because i lost my old one somehow LMAO

Thanks to her, I'm finally able to experience a wholesome, sincere and beautiful love in my life. Thank you, Nilou, I love you to Celestia and back.❤❤❤❤❤

If I have Yelan as my sole hydro character on a Nilou bloom team, should I stack EM on her build instead of HP?

[@AmbivertedPineapple]

@@samo2586 First off you can't have a Nilou Bloom team with Yelan as your sole hydro character because then it won't be a Nilou Bloom Team. And While you certainly can stack elemental mastery, but because its usually difficult to control who triggers bloom and the fact that Yelan is an excellent at single target damage, you are better off just stacking hp and/or crit stats for single target situations and swapping to someone like Kokomi or Barbara for Multi Target Scenarios

Got Nilou recently. She's still sitting at level 71 only and yet she slaps hard. Currently using her alongside Lumine (Dendro), Nahida and Barbara and the team kills pretty much everything. Especially the new boss Iniquitous Baptist. He can barely stand for a moment before his shield goes down. It looks like kicking the cane of an old man right as he picks it up.

Nilou is really good for F2P players and is extremely low investment. No need to level her talents unless you want a little bit of damage as her ascension passive is her main source of damage. It's fine if you dont have a set, just slap as much HP as you can and you're good. The set will come later when you feel like farming for one.

I hate to ask this but as a f2p why would anyone like low investment? Like most fun of the game is from leveling and trying to get the perfect artifacts. What do you actually do if you can just slap EM on all of your team members? Lets say you have the map explored and of course you do the abyss.

[@seluhir8820]

One thing that a lot of people don't talk about for Nilou - particularly for newer players / free to play players - is that Nilou basically mitigates the number of power units you need to complete abyss. Normally, you need two high-power teams using high-profile carry units. But if you have Nilou, you can throw three units you really don't care about for any other team (Barbara, Collei, Dendro Traveler, etc.)... and then save what few high-profile carry units you have as a lower paying, more recent player for the other team. This helps you clear abyss earlier in your account's life span and get more primos sooner.

[@shironasama0445]

From listening to other people with Nilou, I get the impression she is definitely strong but easily countered in Spiral Abyss against mobile/stall bosses and enemies with common mechanics like elemental shields

[@francescoettwedda-1875]

Just against bosses she has some difficulty, and against cryo shields

[@zuu876]

that is true sometimes, but honestly the satisfaction of blooms exploding all over the place and having bunch of numbers, is worth it!

[@Zy0x]

yeah as i said i believe its generally really high high really low lows -- which is why i think she gains value the more like alternatives you have? if that makes sense - i.e being able to use her in her strengths and swap her out when you need certain elements/hyperbloom/etc

This time I got Nahida's C2 and that turned Nilou in the absolute monster. And this is with me never having any luck with artifacts and getting very average stats despite grinding.

[@sekiryuuteiissei7861]

I was checking your channel daily for the last few days for an updated Nilou guide, finally here it is!

[@SithDarthGendo]

Nilou is an absolute beast of a character. Thanks to her bloom teams focusing on EM absolutely obliterate hardest content in the game. She synergizes with Nahida insanely well, since the latter boosts EM. Her BiS weapon does too. Not to mention, just seeing the green hued napalm everywhere is a sight to behold. Just don't forget to bring a good healer... Yao Yao is a good option, however Barbara can struggle to keep up. Make sure to boost her ER.

[@Bobby-od7er]

No one ever mentions Nilou outside of bloom. Obviously she’s not as strong, but she’s viable in all hydro archetypes. Just a solid hydro option all around.

[@sycamorewest]

her vape team is also pretty disgusting for whale accounts / speedrunners. nilou yelan kaz XL

[@Inzesuru]

honestly im so confused why ppl think she's a restrictive unit just bc of one passive when I'm pretty sure hoyoverse brainblasted when they designed her as universal as she is. She's a great option for any hydro reaction team. The fact that her skill was designed where she can be either an on-field driver (vape, ec) or an off-field applicator (freeze) depending on ur teams need. Ofc there are better units for those reactions but the thing is, when u dont have them and u have nilou she can replace them and it wont be any less functional. tldr: her best team is ofc bloom but stop thinking thats all she can do

[@sycamorewest]

​@@Inzesuru Because people read that passive and get worked up, without rationally contextualizing / benchmarking vs. other characters' passives, which often have 1 that is also useless. CHN GI community also calls the description text one of the lowest EQ write up of her kit (second only to Kokomi's crit debuff). It's more about how it makes players feel rather than how objectively powerful it is.

[@ZeroillusionX]

@@Inzesuru the point is, if you're using a unit without her best team, why not just pull for a unit that suits you best, if you don't have the units for bloom, which are hella expensive, then just play anything else, a yelan has 10 times the value that nilou has, a xingqiu has more value with sac sword, a tartaglia has much better teams than nilou in terms of speedrunning and overall much more consistent than anything nilou can do outside of her best team that is bloom, and sure, nilou functions just fine, that is true, but why would you be ok with just fine, when it can be better, that's the whole point. Is not that bloom is all she can do, obviously she can work in any team, but just using her like that is a waste of potential, which is the whole issue.

Yes, she is a beast in bloom but can work in other roles, obviously she'll lose to dedicated dps and burst dps, she still had her unique aoe hydro application that walks with you as well, useful for some teams

​@@BluecoreG Mine has 56k hp without her weapon, so having her weapon or not it's not exactly that much of an issue. However, actually accesible weapons with a main hp% stat is definitely needed already, layla could get some good value out of that too, and a decent polearm instead of nothing but the dang black tassel

[@JAOINFINITY]

Here’s the thing, the restrictions are merely not to make her a broken unit. Think about it, if you could bring a grouper. And her bloom damage is still good against single target, my blooms hit for 30k. Also she doesn’t need nahida to shine, she merely needs hp, em, a good dendro applier and hydro. Nahida merely makes that easier

[@Inzesuru]

The moment HYV adds a hydro grouper, shes gonna go from good to broken. Something like a whirlpool would make sense. Because grouping is one of her few weaknesses but that would solve that issue

groupers are basically tied with anemo and will never be a thing for other elements imo. Anemo and Geo are supportive elements and to make up for it the devs gave them special properties to distinguish them from the other elements i.e. grouping for anemo and constructs for geo

[@aquatazer]

I’ve loved using Nilou since her first banner, so much so that I got her C1 and Key on that banner. She is so fun to use and is incredibly powerful in AOE. In the first chamber of this Abyss, if I set up her team rotation everything just disappears immediately. If I leveled my Kokomi, it would be even crazier. To solve single-target issues, I use a 3 Hydro 1 Dendro team with Nilou, Yelan, Kokomi, Alhaitham; it works so well that I can brute-force both bosses on first half of this Abyss. Nilou’s one of my favorite characters, and the only thing that can stop her in Abyss is Cryo shields in my experience. Hoping people who pull for her get her!

[@harmonizing_spellian]

I think my funniest experience this abyss cycle is being completely frozen solid with her team (with Barbara) on the maguuu kenki chamber yet somehow the bloom cores still trigger due to the hydro rings/dendro stuff which still defeated them while still frozen.

[@TiagoMonteiroArt]

One of my favorite things about Nilou, before discovering her Bloom powers, was that when mining less strong ores, after making one charged attack, I just need to attack one more time to break it. With most other characters, I have to attack two more times after a charged attack. Nilou makes sword mining so much quicker. (And apparently Layla too.)

[@janniko6681]

Nilou also becomes a more flexible unit if you have her BIS on her. With Key, she can provide around 146 (more or less) at around 70k hp to all party members. This doesnt have any ceiling so the more hp you put on her, the better the em sharing the key can provide. It’s 2nd to Elegy of the end for raising the overall dmg you provide to your party and has more em sharing rhan elegy which provides 100 em at r1

Regarding spread-out enemies, I like Yelan's E for extra movement speed to reach spread-out enemies; I know floor 9 doesn't mean jack, but those stupid fungi are always so spread out, but with Nilou E into Nilou E into Yelan E, you run around mowing the enemies down.

Pulled for her with the expectation of more hydro characters from Fontaine soon. Surprisingly satisfying to see all those explosions lol. Would be nice if we have more 4 stars healers. Right now only Barbara and YaoYao the only 4 star healer for the Nilou bloom team.

[@Gloominesss]

I can't wait for Baizu as Dendro shield who specifically resists Dendro dmg quote well, it will be an amazing supportive character with Nilou and Nahida

[@Zarjinn]

Baizhu will be kinda broken for Nilou teams, 2nd passive gives 100% bloom damage at max stacks, insane

[@lewsee5562]

​@@Zarjinn Nilou's A4 passive gives so much DMG bonus on blooms already so it wouldn't be as impactful due to diminishing returns.

[@Zarjinn]

@@lewsee5562 Oh I see, thanks for the info. Might be still very good , it's like 11k more hp on Nilou worth of DMG

[@lordpaulphilippfernandez9904]

She got stronger simply because there are more Dendro units in the game. Back when she was released, there are only 3 Dendro characters: Tighnari, Collei, and DMC. Of the 3, Tighnari is mostly used in Quicken teams, Collei's Dendro application is mid, and so only DMC is even remotely useful. Now though, Nahida and Yaoyao were released, which fixed nearly all of Nilou's problem.

[@joshuarivera4866]

Cant wait to get nilou in order to do vape with dehya gonna be soooo good

[@whiteflash27]

Just pulled a Key for my Nilou and now she's sitting comfy at 70K HP. Bloom bloom bakudan indeed

[@bunn228]

When I coop with my bf where he plays alhaitham and myself on nilou, it's actually so funny just how MUCH outgoing damage there is. It's just constant blooms going boom boom boom boom boom! It's so much fun.

[@blackraen]

9:45 This is my biggest issue(* not really an issue) with Nilou is that when you use her in the Abyss, she ends up leaving so many other great characters for your other team, it's almost too many options. I always get my superbloom team punched in, and then that second team is like... unlimited-option-paralysis.

[@ginger2114]

So glad I got her, she is amazing.

[@zylffinn9455]

Plus SHE'S REALY PRETTY (design-wise) likeeee???! Also, Nilou bountiful bloom team is so satisfying!

[@addedpole]

Recently got nilou, even tho shes so niche, it doesnt entirely mean shes bad, Shes stupidly strong, shes sitting at level 90 and WIP artifs, and she slaps so hard, 20-30k blooms with 1k em kokomi, i dont regret anything

[@jsanfor21]

Thank you for another dope video. Hands down my go to Genshin content creator.

[@stephanprokop907]

I finally got nilou! Didn’t have enough primos on her first banner but got lucky this time! I’m so thankful. She’s so much fun! she doesn’t do as much dmg as i expected but for an extremely f2p friendly character she’s a monster.

[@NickIsMe171]

This is my experience and it may not apply to everyone: My Nilou bloom team consists of Nilou, Nahida and Baizhu. Baizhu is kinda a staple too since he provides really good healing, protection from self-destruction and a significant buff to dendro-related reaction. However, this means the dendro application can be limited if Nahida is constantly off-field (Baizhu provides less dendro aura than almost any other option). I can pull Nahida up to be the main driver and core proctor, but since she runs a deepwood 4-set and maximum EM, and also my Nilou has her sig weapon (which means even more EM for the whole team), Nahida's own core damage can reach diminishing returns with too high EM. So, all of these means I'm having moderate to high dendro application, currently close ranged hydro application and a need to have a driver wielding lost paradise 4-set for maximum core damage. Therefore, I would need a hydro applicator that can apply aura in far range, can apply hydro consistently but not abundantly (so that the dendro aura won't be depleted too quickly) These factors led me to the use of Barbara instead of Kokomi. Kokomi's jellyfish has an AoE application, meaning it can cleanse all of Nahida's dendro aura at the same time, producing too much cores at the same time and thus wasting a lot of damage (since each target can only receive damage from up to 2 cores every interval of time, I think it's 0.5 sec) Barbara instead relies mostly on NA to apply hydro, which is single-targeted, so she won't run out dendro aura. Her high attack speed can make up for the amount of hydro aura, so the total amount of core produced won't be reduced much, and in return those cores would be produced at a more consistent rate and can deal solid damage over a longer time period. Another factor is that Kokomi can provide some healing (despite having a full EM build), but since her jellyfish is stationed on the field, movement can become restricted for effective healing. Meanwhile, Barbara can provide healing in both ways: over time and one time. The healing is not placement-dependant, so it can be much easier to run around, since movement is crucial in a team that has no grouping or crowd control capability. Barbara's self-application can troublesome when facing a potential freeze or vaporize situation, but one avoid that by using her burst only. One side factor is that due to using Barbara, Kokomi won't be bound to the team, and thus she can go back to her usual tenacity + TTDS build for other teams (Ayaka's freeze team for example) Both hydro catalyst users can now be utilized. In conclusion, I would recommend using Barbara over Kokomi in Nilou bloom team.

[@myriostos]

"I'm just trying to heal! (character dies)" is the true Nilou Bloom experience

[@botondnyitrai3128]

I use Nilou in a way, that everyone in my team has around 300-500 EM, this way the damage stays very consistant, while I don't sacrafice any survivability, since my Yao Yao still has a lot of hp, so she heals a lot, and the bloom damage will also hurt my own team much less.

[@LadyHermes]

*Instructor set* works very well on Yaoyao and makes building a Nilou team even easier. 120EM for the whole team is very good and her burst is so good it will still do the job even with 4* artifacts. Nahida also gives 250EM, Nilou 100EM and Dendro resonance 50/100EM => *520EM for the whole team.* (Nahida and Nilou signature can boost EM even more). Give Yaoyao Dragon's Bane and she already has *~750EM without any artifact.* Same for Kokomi with Sac Frag.

[@musharrafazhar5427]

This is really informative. Great video as always. ♥️

[@tahmidfaiz681]

the dichotomy of watching showcases in zy0x vids vs seeing him record them live is actually insane

[@QuickSilver-ob6nj]

New guide always helping

[@melonbread4269]

Iirc, in the CN community, it's been found that Candace/Yaoyao team is actually a competitive, meta alternative. Huge w for candace enjoyers

[@twiGGyAJ]

@zy0x at 12:57 you were talking about procking Nilou's passive by tapping E --> NA --> NA --> E but footage only shows E --> E --> E --> E

[@louistreffel8710]

Zyonix’s nilou followed traveller’s advice. That’s why she uses dull blade

[@Taken4Granted2]

Even in Nilou’s video, it all circles back to Xiangling

[@nlvrn3853]

Bounty team is so great that I had to use nilou or nahida's long ult animation to escape those sudden bounty cores exploding at rapid phase.

[@Matias-cx3wg]

I have and I use her with Nahida in a bloom team and she’s extremely op. The downside is that it’s really easy to die. I assume Baizhu or Kirara might be a good option for their shields.

[@artimund]

I got her in her first banner without any expectations but she's one of my strongest units now; not to mention how fun she is to play.

[@IveBeenWithBruma]

I believe Baizhu will make Nilou perfect as it will make her the driver like she is supposed to be so your glass cannons dont get pulverized by the superblooms and staggers.

[@Blacknight6577]

How to Nilou: get Nilou, stack HP, get Dendro on team, watch everything go BOOM. Or at least that’s what I did lol. Honestly I’m glad I didn’t skip her from her first banner and since then she’s created one of my main teams the Bloom go Boom team.

[@MiloOnYoutube]

shoutout to someone in my family for using nilou since their first banner without having a nahida nor a functioning bloom team 😅 they level her skill and ult to be a sub dps like nilou passive who lol ❤ at least they have a nahida now

[@neoinfinity5204]

Thanks for the update Nilou argument is almost same as Shenhe which is why I got her on first banner and now will try pulling for C2.

[@thyland2483]

I forsee a 4 star dendro/hydro shielder whose shields can strengthen or last longer whenever a dendro core explodes next to us. It'd make sense for something like this tbh

[@Andy-ul7uz]

as a genshin player, i love nahida and nilou and how meta they are. as a cs major, im contemplating the time taken to code all those numbers

[@Kikkia2018]

Finally got my Nahida a few days ago, wishing for Nilou now until the end of the banners. Bloom really do go brr, I don’t even have a DPS on my team they’re all supports 😂

[@qemintae]

got both her and nilou this patch and i absolutely love them

[@iFINNIX]

I was struggling to get passed 32* and then I finally leveled nilou and partially her weapon and with no retries I got 36*, I knew she was crazy good but didn’t expect THAT much

[@rizmiah9810]

I’d like to add that now that baizhu is out, he’s basically a better Yao Yao in terms of healing and he’s a much much better dendro applier.

[@SleepParty30]

A team I've been loving the past few days is Collei, Candace, Nilou and Dehya. It's weird, but they do beastly damage together.

[@deltaspecies1697]

Zy0x is a 0-death Genshin Streamer, in fact when his character is seen dying on stream he usually claims that their death was because of a glitch; or it was because of his cat, brother, sister, step sister, step brother, aunt, or uncle. Regarding his family members, it is usually because he was not playing on stream, and it was instead one of his family members that was controlling his character, after this he takes control of the keyboard and starts his stream. He is also well known in the Genshin Impact community for his infatuation of Xiao, who is his favourite character. He usually defends Xiao when a popular figure slanders Xiao, particularly when someone slanders the latter's height. In addition to being a "notorious Xiao proponent" Zy0x is well known for aggressively ogling Alhaitham He has previously stated that he is not sure of his sexual orientation

[@thatweirdkidwiddow]

Wow zy0nix you really made me lament everywhere with this very awesome and cool video

[@jyusatsu]

Watching this again coz I'm pretty sure Nilou will have a rerun this upcoming 4.8 patch and I'm getting her for sure this time with my guarantee, no more skipping.

[@paris5831]

Just got her a few days ago I’m excited to try her out! 😩
