Nilou

Nilou, the Dance of Lotuslight, is a 5-star Hydro Sword character featured in the second half banner of 3.1 Update in Genshin Impact.

The Lingering Aeon from her Elemental Burst also works as a decent Hydro applier while dealing massive damage to the enemy when you switch to your main DPS. If you want to forgo Nilou’s passive, her Tranquility Aura works the same way as Barbara’s Elemental Skill when it comes to applying Hydro so you can make use of this to cause Vaporize reactions with your Pyro DPS. Dendro Traveler’s Elemental Burst has a high uptime, providing Nilou with the perfect scenario to create a lot of Bountiful Cores through her Elemental Skill. Any Hydro character works well with Nilou as the Hydro Resonance provides bonus max HP which in turns increases Nilou’s damage output. The following effect will trigger every 10s: The equipping character will gain 0.036% Energy Recharge for each point of Elemental Mastery they possess for 12s, with nearby party members gaining 30% of this buff for the same duration. Iron Sting increases Nilou’s Bountiful Cores' damage through its Elementary Substat and it also provides bonus total damage when you cast Nilou’s Elemental Skill. Primordial Jade Cutter works for DPS Nilou as it passively increases Nilou’s max HP and also gives ATK bonus scaling with Nilou’s max HP. This state turns her subsequent Normal Attack and Elemental Skill to deal Hydro damage for a maximum of three hits and the last hit has an added effect depending on how you end it. Key of KhajNisut is a weapon tailored for her as the weapon not only increases HP from its substat but its passive also revolves around increasing her damage from her Bountiful Core through increasing her Elementary Mastery scaling with her max HP. When this effect gains 3 stacks, or when the third stack's duration is refreshed, the Elemental Mastery of all nearby party members will be increased by 0.2% of the equipping character's max HP for 20s Nilou works as a sub DPS, providing ample amounts of damage through her Elemental Skill and Burst while waiting for your main DPS to be ready for another rotation. Nilou’s first passive “Court of Dancing Petals”, requires you to have a full team of only Hydro and Dendro.

Every Genshin Impact player who manages to get Nilou will currently be searching for the best weapon they can possibly get in their inventory.

Another F2P sword for Nilou is the Iron Sting, which can provide consistent bonuses even at lower refinement levels. This sword is only available for early players that participate in a specific event during Genshin Impact version 1.2. Another special mention of its passive skill as it also offers the same Energy Recharge buff to the team, which is rare amongst swords in Genshin Impact. While not comparable to the Key of Khaj-Nisut, the Primordial Jade Cutter is still a decent stat stick for the Hydro dancer. Every Genshin Impact player who manages to get Nilou will currently be searching for the best weapon they can possibly get in their inventory. Other than equipping the right artifacts for this character, getting a suitable Sword for her is also important.
