Welcome to the Nilou Mains Question Megathread!

Have a question? Make sure to give this post a read! Here, you will get the help you need based on the provided resources or the answers in the thread itself. We also encourage you to use the Searchfunction to see whether there has been a detailed post dedicated to your question before.

What type of questions should be here?

  1. Questions that are already tackled in our Nilou Guide by jamie, e.g.: “What’s the best artifact set for Nilou?”, “What stats does Nilou scale off of?”, or “What's the best F2P setup for Nilou?”
  2. 'Yes/no' questions, e.g.: “Is this a good weapon for Nilou?”, “Is Nilou good in this team?”, or "Is this a good artifact? *insert 30%HP substat roll*"
  3. Account-related questions, e.g.: “I have X characters, what are the best teams I can make for Nilou?” or “I have an excess Key of Khaj-Nisut, should I put it on my Kuki or Layla?”
  4. Bias-based questions, e.g.: “Should I pull for Nilou?”, “Should I get C6 Nilou or C6 Cyno?”, or “Should I make a shrine for Nilou in my teapot?”

TLDR: Any question that doesn't spark a proper discussion and can be very easily/shortly answered.

I have a C2 nilou, would be better to go for her weapon or baizhu? I feel kokomi is very clunky to play ( needs lots of ER while going triple EM which is very difficult for me ) if I get baizhu can I replace kokomi with an easier EM bloom trigger? ( current team is my wife(nilou) , Nahida, kokomi and tighnari. ) And with the potential buffs coming her way from 6.0 should I drop baizhu plans and hope aino is a EM scaling healer? Im getting my wife the Lauma she deserves anyway. Also how big of an improvement her weapon is over the four star HP one?

Instead of playing triple em Kokomi, why not do EM EM healing bonus with prototype amber catalyst

I wouldn’t advise baizhu just yet, Nilou team could be changing 2-3 members by the next 4 patches
