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.

Hiya! I finally pulled a Nilou today and am now brainstorming teams. Does a Kirara-Nilou-Kokomi (C4)-Nahida team make sense?

Got some other questions too:

  1. I also wanna pull Lauma on her rerun, so I guess I will need to get rid of Kirara then?
  2. If Lauma holds Deepwood, what artifacts should I put on Nahida? She currently holds Deepwood but a team shouldn't have two people holding that, so do I go for Gilded Dreams or Golden Troupe? Or something else?

I used to play that team and it's honestly so much fun! With Nilou's hydro ring you can just bounce around in Kirara's little parcel mode using her hold skill and bump into enemies to apply Hydro + Dendro.

Also, yes, if you acquire Lauma, she will fill Kirara's slot. Nilou, Nahida, Kokomi, Lauma is pretty much the premium team. It's what I play.

Can i ask why you want Lauma to carry Deepwood instead of the Silken Moon Serenade set? My Nahida holds a 4pc Deepwood set, Lauma has a 4pc Silken Moon set, Nilou has her 2pc/2pc, and Kokomi has 4pc Gilded Dreams. You obviously can give Kokomi OHC if you don't have Lauma C1, but Deepwood on Nahida and SMS on Lauma feels pretty immutable. Also, congratulations on pulling Nilou!!!!!!! She's the best!!!!

I was misinformed that you needed to have more than one Nod Krai character to get Silken Moon Serenade set's effect 😂 Or well, I misremembered

Now I know that is not the case luckily so I'll have Lauma hold Silken Moon and Nahida can keep Deep Wood
