Kokomi too
Finally, Somebody who suggests collei. Others even bash her and say that she's not that great, but in nilou teams she truly shines!
Nice video! Can i use the Paradise Lost set with crit sub stat on my yelan? obvious x nilou teams.
Is it ok if I build full HP Yaoyao? I only have one full EM Gilded Dreams set. And I am afraid that heals wont be enough if i go 4pc instructor.
Also, should I swap from ATK to EM sands on Xingqiu?
I am planning on 2HP/2HP on Nilou, full EM Yaoyao, full EM+proto amber Nahida and EM/Hydro/Crit Xingqiu. Any thoughts?
I don't have Kokomi, by the way.
Thank you so much for answering the Sig vs. C2 question! It helped me a lot as a low spender ^^
Yeah faq nilou maaaannn!!
I dnt care if nahida is a must or not, i just like her in my agravate team…and i think pulling nilou is a waste for me coz hydro archon is coming upnext..
Is Nahida's burst worth using when the hydro on-field driver (in my case Barbara) is already built full EM (in my case, 1051 EM prior to buffs like dendro resonance or Instructor's), or is it not worth the casting time due to EM's diminishing returns?
In Nilou/ Ayato/ Nahida/ Yaoyao, can Ayato work in this team as a burst support/driver for this team or will he take too much damage?
There is no must pull character and never will be. The game's difficulty is a joke.
I am planning to use kaveh as a main,,,, should i pull for nilou for maximum outcome? Or kaveh, nahida, xinque, barabara will be ok? (I need to save for kazuha too, thats why i am confused about pulling nilou😅)
LOVE your guides. I watch every single one!
Thank you so much for the video! I'm planning to roll for Nilou (because I'm interested in her kit and I have her best team members – Nahida, Kokomi). I want to ask: other than OHC, what should I use for Kokomi? I have been neglecting her and I don't think that the OHC domain is worth my resins. I want to continue farming Gilded/DW or Emblem domain.
While I agree Nahida isn't needed for Nilou to be good, Nahida (or any high-application Hydro + 2 Dendros/on-field Dendro) elevates the ceiling of the comp to be able to deal respectable clear times regardless of content. Yaoyao and eventually Baizhu can open the floor for more offense-oriented Hydros like Ayato (arguably the best consolidator of core production + personal AoE damage; which makes him better-suited for Hyperbloom and Burgeon), but Nilou's choice is to either have a high-demand Hydro (Xingqiu) or a high-application 5-star Hydro (Ayato, Yelan, Kokomi) + 2 Dendros without Nahida. This in turn leads to the crux of my issue with Nilou, in that you want a more-than-decent teammate for her or else the entire comp becomes pigeonholed to AoE unlike other AoE specialists who can still do decently in ST content.
For reference, Xiao is a unit with a lower floor than Nilou; but with investment he becomes better than Nilou in both AoE and ST all while never really demanding the best units to support him, even if there is an option. Diona for example is a decent comfort pick if he needs a shield, a C0 Faruzan can outpace a non-Alley Flash/Skyward/Aquila C1 Bennett at similar investments, etc. And even if he is an AoE specialist, his supports don't affect his relative decency at clearing ST content where his sheeted DPS dips quite significantly whereas Nilou can suffer without the consistency offered by Nahida/high-constellation Collei/2 Dendros + Yelan/Kokomi/Ayato/Childe, etc.
I have Nahida on my main acc but dont have Nilou yet, but I have Nilou C1 and with key on my alt account and I can say you this: Nilou can play without Nahida, but other characters in your team will be burdened with unnecessary artifact bullshit like ememem Yaoyao or Colley or DMC, problem with DMC and Colley – they also need shit ton of ER too keep thier burst always ready, so you always guaranteed to lose either dmg by not having enough em or having good but not consistent dps. Nahida solves this issue just by existing. Damage difference between bountiful cores deal when dendro character applies dendro on wet enemy when Nilou skill active while being geared in full em and not full em is massive, almost twice. Main weakness of ideal Nilou team right now is that we dont have Baizhu. He will give shield to our team so we wont get interrupted and will provide a passive dendro apllication+healing here and there, Nahida will feel more safe when she is on field, so team will be looking like this: Nilou, Nahida, Baizhu and YelanXingqui. Well it is just my opinion, results we will see in a month when Baizhu will be in the game. Numbers is just a numbers, you can play with whoever you want, I just casual player who dont like to think hard or learn to dodge, so this nobrain team will probably be for me, if after Nilou I will be lucky enough to win 5050 and get him early (ofc not, game will duck me up as it always does).
The reason why the TC said Nilou is a almost a must have is because they look down on Collei, no thanks to zajeff etc until recently, Kokomiclan and Jamie already proved Collei is a better unit than Traveler for Nilou and this will attract Parrot zombies to the comment section and brand you as spreading misinformation.
I aready have Nahida C2 with her Sig and my Nilou is C1 with Key Definitely gonna go for her C2 too. I like running Barbara as my hydro bloom driver on saccfrag. If you manage your iframes well enough enemies just explode from Barbaras E. I managed to do the triple Kenkis last Abyss in 20 seconds with her
I am done for today! Just wondering if an instructor yaoyao as the solo healer on nilou teams be sufficient🤔
Her weapon being such a huge shift in team damage leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It's ridiculous that they have us Missive Windspear in the 3.1 event instead of an HP% Sword w/ some kind of support passive, especially since Windspear isn't even a significant upgrade over freaking White Tassel.
I knew you would shill Collei, ur so based!
is HP/EM or HP/Hydro best sub stats and what’s her strongest 4* weapon?
idk if anyone can tell this already but would Kaveh/Nilou/Nahida/Xingqiu be a good team? Kaveh on-field, of course
I use C2 Mona with R5 Sac 4pc Paradise Lost 1.1k EM with Nahida and Yaoyao. I feel like Mona is underrated here with the CC and range but her application ICD especially. C2 plus E reset and ult generates a lot of blooms. You set up Nilou/Nahida/Yaoyao then Mona weave auto string and E's finish with ult into Nilou ult and refresh set up.
I'm not planning to pull for her, but it's nice to see that she's been getting indirect buffs left and right through the release of newer dendro units. I'm curious to see how Kaveh will perform in her team.
from my experience you don't need Nahida for Nilou to be good(in fact i think you need Yaoyao for Nilou to work properly. since i find Barbara to not be enough.). however Nahida does bring a level of oomph to Nilou teams that Nahidaless Nilou team don't have imo i feel like there's something missing with it.
why do people keep asking this question just to say no character is a must
My Nilou is currently at 57K HP, this should go higher once i get a 2 piece of the Glow set potentially 60K but I feel like if I get Key id over cap on her passive and go past the 74K HP cap. So im probably just gonna keep her on fav
Thanks for all your great videos! You answered the question I have always had in regards to her signature weapon versus constellations of other team members. Great analysis and clear reasoning behind your videos. Keep up the great work!
