you could do a " dendro core reaction showdown" where you compare fridge, hyperbloom, burgeon and bountiful core dmg, imo that'd be the fairest way to do a dps showdown with Nilou. great vid as always
After seeing what can she do, I'm really tempted to go for her, but I'm F2P and I'm guaranteed to get Nahida now, she is my number one priority right now. Will get her on her rerun, she seems to be a fun character to use.
I'm kinda on the same page as I'm on my guaranteed and I don't want to spend any more money on Genshin but I genuinely think I'm gonna pull for Nilou. First, she's really pretty and her team as shown with this video is extremely F2P friendly. Second, Nahida is an Archon so she's definitely gonna have her rerun sooner. Look at all Inazuma 5* and the ones that already have reruns are Kokomi (which is a great enabler for Dendro reaction) and Raiden soon. Nahida might get a rerun as soon as 3.6 but Nilou might need to wait until like 3.7 or more, because we have so many 5* from the previous 3 regions that haven't got their reruns and there are still even more Sumeru 5* that are yet to be released.
Same here. I’m guaranteed and have only 80 pulls and I need Nahida. This video is tempting me to pull on her banner. I also have her weapon on Kuki now.
I was just thinking about hoyo's trend of making niche characters... It would be really sad if they make the flame-mane tied to specific character comps.
Wow! That Collei-DMC-Barbara-Nilou team is one of the most free to play friendly teams I've ever seen, and seems very high power for f2p artifacts and weapons.
Every character is literally guaranteed and free, except for Nilou of course. And you can also get C5 on Traveler as of right now. On top of that, all your trash HP artifacts, slap them on her and she's good to go
@@Gennosuke1983 I think kuki hyperbloom is better in terms of f2p friendlyness and kinda easy to build for a person that doesn't want to farm endlessly for crit rate and crit dmg. (I get it now)
Honestly, I'd wait for Nahida's release to make her dps showdown. I think you should compare her to other niche comps like full Geo Itto and full Cryo Shenhe's team. I'd also like to know how she performs compared to a meta hyperbloom team (with Yae and Nahida) to see if her passive is really worth. Finally, you could also compare her dps with an aoe specialized team, maybe Xiao, or International.
@@JoseFerreira-nk5kq hyperbloom is mostly single target (very small aoe) while nilou's bountiful explosion is for mass mobs, i have watch many kuki hyperbloom and nilous dendro bombing is way faster even at f2p level (and that's even a trash team setup)
I'd say it'd be better to have a Nahida DPS showdown which compares various teams that include Nahida against each other, while having a showdown for Nilou with the characters currently available now. Multiple reasons for this: 1) It is better for IWinToLose, to get views by focusing on the new character now, rather than releasing content for the previous character later. 2) It'll be too late for people to use the info to decide whether or not to pull if the banner is gone. 3) Using the footage from the Nilou showdown and from the Nahida one, he can then make another short video that compares the two.
The characters also boring, imagine only applying elements and bloom doing the job lmao. Even characters such childe can done this Also her kits is kinda weird, she scale on EM to do bloom, but her personal dmg and kit scales on HP. This will be counterproductive since you will have less damage in bloom if you use HP, but if you use EM you'll have less damage in her personal dmg Well, i would stick to my yelan and childe lmao
the overall lack of knockback in this team allowed for the friendly baby lizzards that all wanted to hug you to be greeted with countless exploding dendro cores of death
Hyper bloom is single target and much harder to proc. Burgeon is harder to proc and there is a chance of making burning instead. Its like comparing night and day
@@meowk123 kuki hyperbloom and thoma burgeon… how are they hard to proc? Just make the dendro cores then apply electro or pyro. Since kuki and thoma are the triggers build them as EM and the rest either regular or for something else.
@@meowk123 When using kuki the hyperbloom WILL proc every second. The problem with that team is actually not enough dendro/hydro in comparison with nilou team
I'm pleasantly surprised by her performance, only thing is the lack of crowd control is an issue I faced regularly. I hope we get some dendro Crowd control characters who could use vines or some sort of cage like dendro samachurl's ability
I like that Hoyo is making characters that kits make you able to use old characters that are labeled bad. Barbara now can see the light of day, Dendro Traveler, Keqing, even Lisa, so I have no doubt we'll see characters in the future that helps improve Amber, Diluc, Ningguang etc.. I'm actually a bit excited to see what characters we get in the future..
@@Sora-MMK The only copium left for Diluc is a busted 5* crit claymore in the future. We’re gonna need the Homa of claymores to make him viable lol. Either that or a proper melt support.
You do a great showcase on her f2p team. Yes, the abyss caters to her... but this is also before she gets better support characters and a dedicated artifact set and f2p HP% sword. Nilou has a very similar radius of damage and amount of knockback as an Itto team, and that is something I'm absolutely for. The lack of single target damage is to be expected and the aoe potential more than makes up for that weakness.
The difference is some of Nilou's best supports (Collei and DMC, the only 2 dendro supports rn and EM Barbara with her Bloom interaction) are completely F2P characters.
@@starvader6604 Hydro taking a full on HP identity and Fontaine being the next region, completely focused around Hydro's identity and bringing weapons, artifacts and an archon based around it. HP scalers are only going to get stronger as more options catered to them show up.
@@starvader6604 bc usually niche characters have an arti set that caters to them (xiao’s vermillion hereafter, itto/noelle/albedo with husk of opulent dreams, kokomi with ocean-hued clam, etc)
Without Nahida (and her stupidly amazing Dendro application from the leaks...), you do need two Dendro Characters instead of just her. Thankfully both DendroMC and Collei exist and they're both nice off field characters you get for free. You then have one other slot which should go to Barbara since you will want a healer in your party and need more Hydro. Works amazingly well with this F2P build as shown in the video. Of course, the ideal whale team is Nilou for her cores and wet aura, Kokomi for better heals and no self wet with jellies applying wet, Yelan for off field single target damage, more wet and HP buff if c4, along with super speed E when needed, and finally Nahida with her broken no ICD Dendro application. Use Nahida as the on field character and those 3 will just be enough to cover Nahida barely for triggering the ridiculous amount of reactions with her marks, E itself and her NA's. Nahida in full EM will further buff the core explosions and allow Nilou to go full HP and not care about EM, as she won't be triggering the reactions. But of course this best team starts to feel more like a Nahida showcase, despite the cores being the biggest part of the damage. Nahida just enables it way to well.
maybe you can put her up against hyperbloom kuki or burgeon thoma, tho idk if it's make sense because both of those are 4* characters, perhaps c0 nilou with up against c6 kuki or thoma to compensate it?? Edit: i suggesting kuki and thoma since both of them is really good on transformation dmg, since nilou build is focused on it too
I’ve tried all three team with nilou at c0. From my experience Thoma is pretty much unplayable while kuki is pretty good and nilou out performs her in most situations but if you get the weapon nilou would be way ahead
@@kutokuro538 well i guess it's to be expected that a 5* will outperform a 4*, thanks for the info! but about thoma, what do you mean by unplayable? i never tried it myself but from what I've seen so far he is pretty good with burgeon
she's strong. I expected to be really good in AoE but that's better than expected. she's better in practice than in sheet. Abyss blessing can be removed but Nahida comes next patch. So her team should perform about as well here.
The current abyss rotation is just tailored for her, top halves of 12th floor are mobs that will run towards you and they often group together on their own without the need of using an anemo character, we will only see her true performance after the current abyss which heavily favors her, but she’s still a decent bloom team focused buff character regardless
"Pirouette" (which lasts 10s) is the stance she enters by using the ability. It's "Lunar Prayer" the one she enters when using normal attacks for her 3rd hit.
Hoyo seems to have gotten the hang of balancing the 5 stars they release. Another fun unit who performs well. I doubt the same will happen for the 4 stars since it seems like hoyo is using them to experiment with new ideas and concepts so unfortunately their performance will be unpredictable.
@@wessleytjahaja3761 He's a fun and cool looking character and can clear abyss if you invest in him, like literally every other character. What more do you need? The devs have already made it clear that there not gonna be any hard endgame content that needs the meta so having overpowered characters is kinda unnecessary.
@@aprentice.masters I get it and it's a fact, but she isn't bad outside those team comps. Like every other character, they can be used on different forms and that´s whats make this game so fun to me. Literally one character can fullfil different roles or playstyles depending on artifacts or team mates. May not be optimal, but it still being possible.
I did try Nilou with an R1 lvl 60 Xiphos blade (uurrgghh not sure if I spelled it correctly), talent 1 , 8, 6 in flr 12 with Kokomi, Tighnari and Dendro Traveler. I was so surprised thet I cleared it so fast coz Im not still familiar with her kit and rotations and I underestimated her. This playstyle is unique. Lovin it now.
Nilou is such a F2P friendly Her teammate (barbara, Collei and dendro Mc) are all free to get and they work perfecly fine later on you can upgrade her team with Kokomi and maybe Nahida but still, Barbara and Collei work fine with her All you need to do is give her HP and call it a day while still getting a lot of damage
Im new in genshin universe. Just play for a couple weeks.. and now im at king dashret. Got nilou my 2nd 5star.. 1st ofcoz qiqi. But what ever it is. Im so happy having her in early journey so i can early focus everything on her.. before this patch end.. need to collect all primo for the weapon.. just to make my queen happy..😋😋😋
You convienced me to pull for Nilou aaa, I’ve been wanting Childe for a long time since I joined on his 3rd rerun but lost the 5050. Hes coming up next patch in 3.2 and im at a loss on who to pull for. I’ll just hope I win the 5050 and have enough for him. I currently have 50+ wishes saved up with 60+ pity.
Everyone makes it seem like Kokomi is a must with her. This GIGACHAD rocking Barbara and doesn't give a damn. The whole community calls Nilou the most restrictive character dependent and expensive to build character. This, again, GIGACHAD throws in VERY F2P party setup and makes it look actually GOOD. not even decent. This looks VERY GOOD. Damn it, thank you for this video so much.
@@HanniPham_NewJeanshe literally cleared the entirety of abyss 12 in less than 20 fvcking seconds with a weakass team😭 xingxiu's slave hutao can never💀
Thank you so much for the guide, you're voice is literally music for my ears.. so soothing and great content as always, we really appreciate the work that you put in to make these guides , i would like to say this behalf of the whole genshin community that we are grateful for your guides.
I won't be pulling for Nilou this time around, but I'll be keeping her in mind after I pull Nahida because bloom Nilou seems suuuuper broken and fun. Best of luck for everyone pulling on Nilou!
I'm glad she's OP when you put her with dendro team, in fact her kits itself is for dendro x hydro team. I was worried when i got her and immediately raise her to 90 lvl full talent 10/10/10 with her signature weapon but she deal less dmg than i expected. But that was because i didn't know how she works. Good thing i raised both Collei and Dendro traveler to the max so now i can finally put them to use
Broooo, i love ur videos so MUCHHHH!! U r the best in this area!!! Thank u VEEERY MUCH!! Lol, i was awaiting for this video even more than the Nilou's banner, DAAAAMN!!! 😇😇😇😇😇😘😘😘
It makes me so sad because I want her really badly, her playstyle is just so pleasing to me, I always tend to love characters with rhythm to their gameplay.. but since I don't have a lot of characters that you'd ideally want with her, like Kokomi, and with so many other cool/good 5stars coming up I think it's better if I just keep saving
100% of Nilou teammates you get for free. Barbara, MC and Collei are all you need. Don't feel forced to use Nilou with a C6 R5 Kokomi, C6 R5 Nahida and C6 R5 Yelan. It's not worth it.
He just showcased Nilou, with a full F2P team and build, they are all free except Nilou. And as a endgame player I am really impressed by the results. Only downside is the lack of single target damage but that's not Kokomi that will fix it.
"I want her really badly, her playstyle is just so pleasing to me" just go for her, I played this game since beta and always went for the highest damage output possible and always f2p. the fact that you like her that much, then you must pull for her. also your team is already out there with the least amount of investment needed: barbara: free MC: free collei: free also I'm almost sure that nahida(dendro archon) will have huge synergy with her and can stand in instead of collie. Alternative option: like inazuma (2.0) characters she will definitely get a rerun in less than 6 months and if you are still not sure about pulling for her you can go for her rerun.
I think you are the only content creator who showcased a nuke Nilou! Really liked this video! and happy to say the gacha gods were good to me and blessed me with Nilou in 5 multi summons. Now to go for sword or not, that's the question :D.
for the nuke, is nilou still using the same artifact? 2pcs tenacity, 2 pcs severed fate, with crit rate 35% and crit dmg 98%? thank you AWESOME VIDEO!! very helpful for f2p
if you compare nilou in a dps showdown, consider comparing her bountiful core team to hyper sucrose (sucrose, dendro traveler, fischl, kokomi), and kazuha fireworks (kazuha xiangling kokomi fischl) since those are also reaction based teams not centered around raw damage. only thing is you are comparing teams instead of the character itself, but i think it'd be interesting
I HATE that I got a VERY early-Cyno C1 (after losing 50/50).. and lost all chance of getting her. Just because the 4-Stars' drop rate are completely horrendous (didn't have Kiku or Candace)!!
Think you had a repetition from 7:30-7:50. Appreciate the fast videos you drop for helping people review the characters. Looking forward to the next one.
I know double hydro now increases HP but I still found it interesting how the recent 5 stars hydro units Kokomi, Ayato, Yelan and Nilou all scale with HP.
You got it wrong, she enters the Pirouette state on the first cast of her Elemental Skill. During that 10 second duration, you can either cast her Elemental Skill or do Normal Attack 3 times (AND you can switch between Elemental Skill and Normal Attack in between the first 2 attacks). Only the final (3rd) attack determines which state she enters next; Elemental Skill gives Tranquility, while Normal Attack gives Lunar Prayer. Since the Normal Attack (Sword Dance) deal more damage, I would suggest using Normal Attack twice, then you decide which final (3rd) attack you want to use.
I was saying that you only do great dmg cuz you're p2p but i realized you're playing her on a f2p build and now I'm thinking how amazing my nilou will be with her sig weapon and nahida
@@JustCallMeJui she is, but for some reason that’s a downside. But imo if she’s using the DMC and Collei better than anyone else than it’s a good thing and a cheap team to build and use outside of other teams.
I think we just talked about rugged weapons recently with one another. Hi again! "This changes everything" is again, an understatement for the future of genshin impact. However there aren't more fitting words. I'm so appreciative of your perspective. You are one of the most objective and honest gaming content creators out there. Thank you
Characters with niche kits are always very interesting. Although Nilou might not be the best, she's very unique overall and will probably be even better with Nahida
I love how dendro update brings more complex and fun playstyle akin to honkai compared to previous characters that are straightfoward and fairly easy to use
I can't wait to pull her later!!! She's looking kind a busted right now not gonna lie. She'll be even more so with her weapon plus Nahida. Add constellations to both of those characters on top of that and... well....
For a damage showdown/comparison, I feel like it should be against the best electro charged and/or swirl team with sucrose, focused entirely on EM/reaction damage.
This is literally barbara EM showcase with Nilou as only passive abuse. I want to see Nilou's bloom damage as she the one who is making the bloom reaction and not barbara.....
That's what I was thinking, I saw other UA-camrs using Nilou without Barbara in the team, didn't look as good. Maybe try a few team comps without Barbara or Nilou.
I think she will be helpful to other teams too Like Ayaka or Taser maybe or vape , maybe not much but still doable , I think she is a near "must pull for fun" char and not a skippable in one glance like cyno also she will shine later I am 100% sure ,,,
The abyss favor is unreal I was able to clear floor 12 with triple level one talents and random em and hp artifacts on traveler, nilou and collie with kokomi being the only character I actually had built x.x
you could do a " dendro core reaction showdown" where you compare fridge, hyperbloom, burgeon and bountiful core dmg, imo that'd be the fairest way to do a dps showdown with Nilou. great vid as always
Fridge team wont trigger bountiful cores
@@ogpogtane7244 that’s the point. So we can see how much better/worse bountiful compare to regular versions
Fridge does the least DMG. Instead you should compare times since thats where fridge is strong and not "DMG" liie you said.
@@hachiaya8636 it’s quite obvious bountiful cores do more dmg than fridge and regular bloom.

The only dissatisfaction on my part is the restrictive team comp, thus the lack of slot for anemo CC character. She's overall fun tho.
Ikr, they should have atleast left us pair Anemo and geo with Nilou, thus enhancing the support capabilities
She doesn't need cc with her AoE

Hoyo seems to have gotten the hang of balancing the 5 stars they release. Another fun unit who performs well. I doubt the same will happen for the 4 stars since it seems like hoyo is using them to experiment with new ideas and concepts so unfortunately their performance will be unpredictable.
I think it’s predictable that they won’t ever PowerCreep Bennett Fischl Sucrose Xinqui and that’s over half the elements covered
You say this while cyno literally gets the L hammer by being as mid as keqing
@@caseyimiller you forgot xiangling
@@wessleytjahaja3761 at least cyno has cool animations/special effects lol. keqing has a purple sword
@@wessleytjahaja3761 He's a fun and cool looking character and can clear abyss if you invest in him, like literally every other character. What more do you need? The devs have already made it clear that there not gonna be any hard endgame content that needs the meta so having overpowered characters is kinda unnecessary.
Thanks for this, ive been struggling to work out HOW to use Nilou. your videos always make the characters mechanics clear for me
I knew somehow they would make her work outside bloom teams.
That's only for nuking though.
She really only works in bloom teams to get the best out of her kit.
@@aprentice.masters I get it and it's a fact, but she isn't bad outside those team comps. Like every other character, they can be used on different forms and that´s whats make this game so fun to me. Literally one character can fullfil different roles or playstyles depending on artifacts or team mates. May not be optimal, but it still being possible.
@@Matias-cx3wg yeah that's true.
I just saw a vid of vape Nilou and while it's not optimal like you said, it looked quite fun.
@@aprentice.masters yeah. I can beat everything in the game already. So now, I just wanna have fun and mess around you know.
She also works well in a taser team, her pirouette attacks, especially Luminous Illusion have a huge AoE sort of like Ayato
I did try Nilou with an R1 lvl 60 Xiphos blade (uurrgghh not sure if I spelled it correctly), talent 1 , 8, 6 in flr 12 with Kokomi, Tighnari and Dendro Traveler. I was so surprised thet I cleared it so fast coz Im not still familiar with her kit and rotations and I underestimated her. This playstyle is unique. Lovin it now.
Nilou is such a F2P friendly
Her teammate (barbara, Collei and dendro Mc) are all free to get and they work perfecly fine
later on you can upgrade her team with Kokomi and maybe Nahida but still, Barbara and Collei work fine with her
All you need to do is give her HP and call it a day while still getting a lot of damage
i love your commentary "the robots who want to take a nap across the map"
I'm counting the hours to get my Nilou.
Good luck everyone!
Im new in genshin universe. Just play for a couple weeks.. and now im at king dashret. Got nilou my 2nd 5star.. 1st ofcoz qiqi. But what ever it is. Im so happy having her in early journey so i can early focus everything on her.. before this patch end.. need to collect all primo for the weapon.. just to make my queen happy..😋😋😋
Woah. Are u from Asea server if yes
Can we play together as nilou owner mine still at level 1 cause i got time issue lol
Love that all content creators mention the “anxiety inducing” bit.
You convienced me to pull for Nilou aaa, I’ve been wanting Childe for a long time since I joined on his 3rd rerun but lost the 5050. Hes coming up next patch in 3.2 and im at a loss on who to pull for. I’ll just hope I win the 5050 and have enough for him. I currently have 50+ wishes saved up with 60+ pity.
Everyone makes it seem like Kokomi is a must with her. This GIGACHAD rocking Barbara and doesn't give a damn. The whole community calls Nilou the most restrictive character dependent and expensive to build character. This, again, GIGACHAD throws in VERY F2P party setup and makes it look actually GOOD. not even decent. This looks VERY GOOD. Damn it, thank you for this video so much.
bro chill out, he's just fighting world bosses.
@@HanniPham_NewJeanshe literally cleared the entirety of abyss 12 in less than 20 fvcking seconds with a weakass team😭 xingxiu's slave hutao can never💀
Thank you so much for the guide, you're voice is literally music for my ears.. so soothing and great content as always, we really appreciate the work that you put in to make these guides , i would like to say this behalf of the whole genshin community that we are grateful for your guides.
I won't be pulling for Nilou this time around, but I'll be keeping her in mind after I pull Nahida because bloom Nilou seems suuuuper broken and fun. Best of luck for everyone pulling on Nilou!
Forgive me for asking this but is your set up with the nuke damage the same with the one in the intro but the weapon is the only thing replaced?
though not f2p friendly, that whale nuke build damage output is absolutely insane
Thanks so much man! I was already going for her but your enthusiasm and humor really motivated me for tonight's pulls. Cheers!
I'd like to see a vaporize team comparison with Nilou vs Childe and Ayato.
I'm glad she's OP when you put her with dendro team, in fact her kits itself is for dendro x hydro team. I was worried when i got her and immediately raise her to 90 lvl full talent 10/10/10 with her signature weapon but she deal less dmg than i expected. But that was because i didn't know how she works. Good thing i raised both Collei and Dendro traveler to the max so now i can finally put them to use
I would love to see a dps showdown between the three sumeru 5 stars
(Tighnari, Cyno, and Nilou)
Idk if that’ll happen but it’d be a good video
Personally I think Nilou would win in aoe situations.
Yeah thats all i know
Funny because tignari will win that 1 100%. I have 3, although nilou is not yet lvled
Cyno took 3 minutes to clear 12-3-1 which is the hardest chamber in this abyss. Nilou took 16 seconds with a 4 star team.
Broooo, i love ur videos so MUCHHHH!! U r the best in this area!!! Thank u VEEERY MUCH!! Lol, i was awaiting for this video even more than the Nilou's banner, DAAAAMN!!!
😇😇😇😇😇😘😘😘
She will get much stronger with Nahida and a future dendro healer with great off-field dendro application.
Everyone who said Nilou was just bad
Me looking at her and not caring cause all characters are good for something
It makes me so sad because I want her really badly, her playstyle is just so pleasing to me, I always tend to love characters with rhythm to their gameplay.. but since I don't have a lot of characters that you'd ideally want with her, like Kokomi, and with so many other cool/good 5stars coming up I think it's better if I just keep saving
100% of Nilou teammates you get for free. Barbara, MC and Collei are all you need.
Don't feel forced to use Nilou with a C6 R5 Kokomi, C6 R5 Nahida and C6 R5 Yelan. It's not worth it.
He just showcased Nilou, with a full F2P team and build, they are all free except Nilou. And as a endgame player I am really impressed by the results. Only downside is the lack of single target damage but that's not Kokomi that will fix it.
"I want her really badly, her playstyle is just so pleasing to me"
just go for her, I played this game since beta and always went for the highest damage output possible and always f2p. the fact that you like her that much, then you must pull for her.
also your team is already out there with the least amount of investment needed:
barbara: free
MC: free
collei: free
also I'm almost sure that nahida(dendro archon) will have huge synergy with her and can stand in instead of collie.
Alternative option: like inazuma (2.0) characters she will definitely get a rerun in less than 6 months and if you are still not sure about pulling for her you can go for her rerun.
xingqiu with her is totally fine. i suggest u just go for her given your reasons
Go for her if you like her playstyle. Upcoming ones are bad. She even works with xingqiu and Yelan very well.
all these videos shitting about nilou and this guy just slaps the entire content with her. Thank you so much, you made so many people with her
🌸🌹We would not be of ignorant affair long for we would be graced by one that would test the character to her absolute limits!🌹🌸
I think you are the only content creator who showcased a nuke Nilou! Really liked this video!
and happy to say the gacha gods were good to me and blessed me with Nilou in 5 multi summons. Now to go for sword or not, that's the question :D.
So sad that i have to skip her. I was dead set on getting her up until they announced Nahida on the next banner. Have to wait for the rerun now.
Finally, I was waiting for you to upload
Nillou was the most fresh gameplay for me, im glad pulling her to come home
ah yes fresh gameplay, we've never seen a character press e then attack then q...
for the nuke, is nilou still using the same artifact? 2pcs tenacity, 2 pcs severed fate, with crit rate 35% and crit dmg 98%?
thank you
AWESOME VIDEO!! very helpful for f2p
bro just made my decision of choosing between rolling for Nilou or Nahida harder 💀
You'll probably need Nahida if you get Nilou though.
@@aprentice.masters I think shes already better than Cyno, yet no one said that you need Nahida for him
You should roll for nahdia first and then wait for a rerun since she basically needs nahida
if you compare nilou in a dps showdown, consider comparing her bountiful core team to hyper sucrose (sucrose, dendro traveler, fischl, kokomi), and kazuha fireworks (kazuha xiangling kokomi fischl) since those are also reaction based teams not centered around raw damage. only thing is you are comparing teams instead of the character itself, but i think it'd be interesting
Considering 3 of her teammates are bad standalone characters she could end up being really good.
Once stronger Dendro character comes out she's gonna be insane
I HATE that I got a VERY early-Cyno C1 (after losing 50/50).. and lost all chance of getting her. Just because the 4-Stars' drop rate are completely horrendous (didn't have Kiku or Candace)!!
I think you should make a comparison between Nilou bloom and Electro charged teams
Think you had a repetition from 7:30-7:50. Appreciate the fast videos you drop for helping people review the characters. Looking forward to the next one.
U make such amzing inspiring positive videos while some other youtubers spreading a bit of negativity on nilou. Thanks for the video IWTL
Most UA-camrs like Zajef and god forbid TenTen don't even know how the game works
Future Nilou main here!
I know double hydro now increases HP but I still found it interesting how the recent 5 stars hydro units Kokomi, Ayato, Yelan and Nilou all scale with HP.
i’m pretty sure hoyoverse is making hydro an HP scaling element - similar to geo and defense (and by extent anemo/dendro with EM)
@@rhysespieces. Zongli is the odd one that scales off hp
and then there's Mona scales of ER.
You got it wrong, she enters the Pirouette state on the first cast of her Elemental Skill. During that 10 second duration, you can either cast her Elemental Skill or do Normal Attack 3 times (AND you can switch between Elemental Skill and Normal Attack in between the first 2 attacks). Only the final (3rd) attack determines which state she enters next; Elemental Skill gives Tranquility, while Normal Attack gives Lunar Prayer. Since the Normal Attack (Sword Dance) deal more damage, I would suggest using Normal Attack twice, then you decide which final (3rd) attack you want to use.
She's on a league of her own. I don't think she can be compared to others for dps showdown at the moment
She's very strong, I think easily top 5 if you use her hyperbloom comp
@@Hhhh22222-w that's a very bold statement.
For whales I can definitely see this being true but not for f2p.
@@Hhhh22222-w you mean bloom comp, right? Because hyperbloom is with electro...
@@aprentice.masters why not?
now that furina is out is nilou hydro infused normal attack considored skill or normal attack damage?
Man i really want her, but the thing is im saving up my primos for Kusanali what should i do 😭
same but nahida is for me
Nahida first
The aranyaka quest gives a lot of primos, if you really want both you could grind every chest in sumeru
same but for hutao, im saving for her😭
it's simple: get nahida and wait for nilou rerun. Nilou with nahida will be like 3000% better but no one's got so much luck to get both.
Every time underated character always become op result after some times 😂😂
Love your work !!!
Is the nuke showcase the same artifact build or different?
*If you like Genshin, you would like my Japanese and Oriental Instrumentals 😉*
I was saying that you only do great dmg cuz you're p2p but i realized you're playing her on a f2p build and now I'm thinking how amazing my nilou will be with her sig weapon and nahida
8 months ago, still waiting for her
I love Nilou
I like the subtle sarcasm on the “end game content that causes a lot of anxiety”
That Nuke...Dayumm
So basically when playing nilou kokomi wins
“Friendly baby lizards that all wanted to hug you” PFFFTTTT 😂
Lets come back to this video after Nilou haters realize she op af when other dendro characters gets released
Isn't she already pretty good with current dendro characters
@@JustCallMeJui she is, but for some reason that’s a downside. But imo if she’s using the DMC and Collei better than anyone else than it’s a good thing and a cheap team to build and use outside of other teams.
C6 R5 Nilou vs Yelan vs Ayato would be interesting
So sad that her dmg is literally HALVED without bis weapon lmao
Nilou is whale bait, infact.
I think we just talked about rugged weapons recently with one another. Hi again! "This changes everything" is again, an understatement for the future of genshin impact. However there aren't more fitting words. I'm so appreciative of your perspective. You are one of the most objective and honest gaming content creators out there.
Thank you
Characters with niche kits are always very interesting.
Although Nilou might not be the best, she's very unique overall and will probably be even better with Nahida
I love how dendro update brings more complex and fun playstyle akin to honkai compared to previous characters that are straightfoward and fairly easy to use
I believe, if you don't have a Hydro and a Dendro Character at the same time in party, you can't give the ring to other characters.
No you can give the ring either way it’s the bountiful core state that can’t be activated
@@dylanmorales450 I See
I can't wait to pull her later!!!
She's looking kind a busted right now not gonna lie. She'll be even more so with her weapon plus Nahida. Add constellations to both of those characters on top of that and... well....
Barbara's bug haven't been fixed right? That amount of seed is hmm 🤔
For a damage showdown/comparison, I feel like it should be against the best electro charged and/or swirl team with sucrose, focused entirely on EM/reaction damage.
Yes! I'm ready to go broke for her and her weapon!
You don't have to spam all 3 normal attacks or E's. It only matters which one you do for the 3rd (final) hit.
Nilou's team without kokomi is a double edge sword
there is ''barbara ikuyo'' there is not much difference
you can replace Kokomi with Barbara
He literally used Barbara in his F2P Abyss run, Nilou haters are on shambles right now lmaoooo
@@OnlyTheStrongest116 bruh i said a double edged sword and why you gotta assume im a nilou hater i literally have her and her sig weapon xD
@@OnlyTheStrongest116 you probably didnt know what i meant either.
11:11 Idea of DPS Showdown with Nilou: EM Barbara and or Kokomi Bloom, Lisa Hypebloom and Yanfei Burgeon/Permaburning
This is literally barbara EM showcase with Nilou as only passive abuse. I want to see Nilou's bloom damage as she the one who is making the bloom reaction and not barbara.....
That's how Nilou's team comps work, she isn't always going to be the trigger but building HP increases everyone's bountiful core damage
I think using the other hydro with em build will do more damage than hp Nilou idk
That's what I was thinking, I saw other UA-camrs using Nilou without Barbara in the team, didn't look as good. Maybe try a few team comps without Barbara or Nilou.
SHE JUST CAME OUT AND I LOVE HER SMM
Eh she looks ok, SKIP.
I think she will be helpful to other teams too Like Ayaka or Taser maybe or vape , maybe not much but still doable , I think she is a near "must pull for fun" char and not a skippable in one glance like cyno also she will shine later I am 100% sure ,,,
For me she is skipeable at first glance cus of how obvious of a waifu bait she is
I nowadays watch your video with sound off because of how unbearably cringey it is
if there hydro or dendro (venti) like character
i freaking sweare nilou will instantly become meta
If there was a dendro healer then you could possibly use Mona with her skill taunting enemies with Sac Frags
The abyss favor is unreal I was able to clear floor 12 with triple level one talents and random em and hp artifacts on traveler, nilou and collie with kokomi being the only character I actually had built x.x
This isnt the Nilou showcase, is just a Collei Showcase.
Honestly, even if I don't want the character, I'll watch your video for the superb quality, thank you for producing such amazing work as always!
kindly make another updated nilou guide when she rerun dear sir 🙏
second this
no because I accidentally did a 100k x2 on her burst when it vaporized ( I had Kazuha then ) my Nilou has 57k hp
