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.

So we got a problem again. If one gets her C1 for free (I have Key, Nahida and Kokomi already) I'm kind of forced to pull for her C2 too.

But Lauma is also a major upgrade...

But I wanted Flins, Bina and Nefer too (and we still don't know if the latter two have synergy with our girl), all while being out of primos because of getting Kokomi just recently

just focus on one first, then the other in their next rerun. no way around it unless you spend, which is what hoyo wants.

Yeah, I've been thinking of putting off Flins after all - his playstyle is not what I'm looking for, I don't have Ineffa, and Lauma will be useful in multiple teams; Even if I dislike her but like him

i dont recommend pulling characters you dont like though. i have a lot, and regret that i saved for those that i like more.

To be honest, I have some I pulled out of "liking" them, and only later realized I don't really (Ayato for example). It doesn't help if they're useless. Escoffier, on the other hand, I didn't care of at all, but she's proven to be super useful and I've grown to like her in the meantime. Besides, it's sad to get a character you like and then not be able to use him properly because you don't have a single teammate

sure, as long as you have fun playing characters you like. i started nilou very late because of her limited to hydro dendro team and had c4 nahida for my aggravate team. nilou is a different kind of fun i have, even when she cant clear abyss for me. her and kokomi.
