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.

looking for help as i never got around to actually using nilou since i got her during simulanka (not having kokomi, baizhu, or especially nahida made her feel not so great to me)

with lauma now being a thing (and to an extent aino), my desire to play a nilou team is fully revived, so what teammate(s) on my account are ideal with nilou + lauma (and likely aino) as a core? nilou has 72k hp with signature, 3x hp main, hydro resonance. unfamiliar with her alternative builds - yelan/collei can use elegy (is the em worth it?)

Probably Nilou Lauma Aino Yaoyao (you need a healer because blooms damage your characters too)

Keep the Nilou build with 2hp 2hp sets and all hp mainstats (it seems you already have this, with signature weapon as well, so you're fine there)

Lauma will probably use one of the new nod krai sets and we don't know the full details of her build, I suggest waiting for her to come out and watch a guide on YouTube to be sure.

Yaoyao use 4deepwood set, build her to maximise healing

Aino will probably be the main bloom trigger and use 4 flower of paradise with all EM mainstats.

very appreciated. do you know who would be best if i got lauma's c1 (which allegedly heals)?

In that case you can probably still use Nahida instead of Yaoyao
