Hope you guys enjoyed the video, just very confused with some things and disappointed with others. Just so you know as I said in the video I'm not trying to get anyone to pull or not pull for any characters etc, it's just my thoughts on characters. Nilou MIGHT be good for vape teams but I personally felt like using her outside of her passive niche would be pointless if I have someone like Ayato who'd work better in vape teams etc. The one thing I will say is maybe when Nilou gets a rerun ill pull for her, right now I'd practically only be able to use one team comp with her and for me, that'd get boring SO quick
Yes, she is the first one to have a restrictive play style(written in talents), but she is also the first one to have the ability to change a whole base reaction. You win some you lose some. If she doesn't have a restrictive play style, she would be broken af when it comes to AoE situations. Let's just ignore how grouping anemo characters would definitely make Nilou break the game. Just think about what would happen if we add some of the cryo characters into her comp. All enemies would be frozen while nukes that explode within 1s grow at their feet.
All in all, I would say Nilou is a great example of how Hoyo should release new characters (Not too broken to cause FOMOs, but great in a niche way that satisfies people who love the character and go and pull them)
I understand that people can feel upset when they see such a niche character. They can say that this takes away the variety of the game since they force you to play with only 2 elements; but is having another Ayato or another Tartaglia variety? I personally think that having characters replace others is not variety at all. It's much better to have characters that specialize in only one reaction. That is variety.

Nice discussion
Proud Nilou haver , no regrets
As a Nilou haver, she's fun to play. I personally think that the variation of combat style in Genshin is important, so we don't get bored easily. We can mix and match how we build and choose teams.
Actually Bran. C0 Nilou can nuke harder than C0 Eula with the right comp if u build her around her burst. There are videos showcasing this on YT. You can check out IWinToLose video for example.
I’m glad she isn’t bad like cyno
I'm still on the fence for pulling her because I'm saving for Alheitham and idk if I'm gonna love him enough to put him in an effective team comp with Nilou. She's definitely made to try making dendro meta which is fun but idk. I probably want to collect more dendro characters first before I get her, so I'll wait for her rerun.
Nilou feels like one of the few characters that really emphasizes making your entire team strong because everyone is giving and receiving buffs to each other.
I personally like her. Even if you build her outside of her niche she can pretty powerful or useful to others thanks to scaling and off field play style
I fill out the surveys from time to time. There are reasons they ask for players opinions. Its a quality check to gain insight on player side. Yes, a lot of players just skip through them to get Mora, but be assured their systems are smart enough to boil it down to valuable feedback.
Was fun to watch the survey being filled out strangely. 😹
the ending complaints were hilarious, bc i did that as well 😂
Seriously, i wrote an entire essay about teapot improvements, endgame content and SAND PHYSICS ON MOBILE PLS MIHOYO
I see a lot of complaints for Nilou, but honestly i summoned for her from design alone, she is just too beautiful to pass for me, just like with Shenhe.
I love hydro. I have all (except Mona that hate me really hard). But I don't like Nilou. It's kinda strange but seems like no more collecting hydro's. I expected something different (don't saying she's bad or something like that), but my hand and mousse feels weird while playing her in the demo, like, not my tempo. Her particles are really amazing, but I think I'll go for other character. I love bloom so I'm kinda sad, but she's neither my game nor my character type ; _ ; Btw, hope all the Nilou wanters have luck in her gacha.
I had saved 270 wishes for Nilou and her weapon, got both, she’s fantastic and so much fun
I pulled her simply for animations and looks but also have found myself having so much fun with her. I built a set for her own personal damage instead of bloom, put her with Kazuha and XQ and her skill was doing 25K on her third hit. I was pleasantly surprised lmao.
Any new character that discourage/forbid the usual Xiangling/Xingqiu/Bennett/Kazuha is an absolute win. I'm tired of this stale meta, not like it matters anyway. New specialists units are a welcome addition and this is what Mihoyo has been doing for a while now (Gorou, Shenhe, Yunjin, Kuki and others I'm probably missing)
Nilou is getting Yoimiyaed and Kokomied at the same time: right before an Archon and people don't know her full potential yet
I’m honestly not a fan of Nilou in general. Her play style feel aggressively slow and doesn’t wow me (it’s hard for me to not like a character, so this is rare). I’m spoiled by Ayato and Yelan’s fast cooldown, so it also makes sense for me to not roll for her
I hate nilou can't work with anemo geo or cryo since cc and survivability is very important for bloom teams.
them putting a weapon you can no longer get in a trail is so stupid and should be considered false advertisement. how hard would it be to just give him jade cutter?
beido works best in electro charge so idk why they give her a bad weapon and kaeya out of all people to trail with her
Honestly you're right, Nilou is gonna be great in a rerun once we got a plethora of other dendro charas so only pull if you don't have anyone you're anticipating or if you absolutely love her. For me it's more of the same problem I had with Ayato: Swords are ruined to me by Ayaka with how fast she is orz" I did still pull for Ayato mostly cause he's a husbando but Nilou doesn't get that advantage so a skip for me, unfortunately.
And god, I felt that when your face just goes ugh at Albedo's limited weapon lmaoooo like when I checked it I'm all "Wait they gave him cinnabar???? How are the new pullers gonna get that wtf" i don't even remember what they gave Albedo during his first run but they should have just stuck with that (or jade cutter since it's the weapon paired with Nilou atm)
Overall, great analysis and video!
It's weird that they keep putting cool swords in albedo events. First festering desire and then cinabar.
Whats up with the background music lol
I think you have the complete wrong idea about the character trials in the events tab, the point of these trials is to show off individual character's moveset, abilities, and playstyle, NOT how they synergize with other characters or team comps, that's something the game expects the player to figure out on their own, these trials exist solely to give you a feel for that one character as a single individual, not how well they perform in a team
I really really love her elemental skill. You can choose to be dps or sub dps any time. It's like Hoyoverse is telling us that Nilou's dancing is freedom itself. Then here comes the ascension talent that limits her team LMAO
im skipping all characters until Dehya banner
The problem with Nilou rn is that her best teams are all comprised of 5 stars. Kokomi is almost a must have for her, due to barbara just not cutting it. Nilou teams will either need a dendro/hydro shielder or will always require a healer. Why you may as? BECAUSE HER OWN CORES HURT YOUR TEAM! In the video I was watching going over her, her cores were doing around 1.3k per explosion to his own characters. Though Nilou herself can take that, the other members you switch to in order to use her can't. She is honestly just such a disappointing character and it would be so easy to fix. Just make it so her special bloom effect is tied to her burst, and having an exclusively dendro/hydro team gives the team some sort of buff. Locking her main selling point behind a limited team comp is a recipe for disappointment.
I don't terribly mind forced restrictions on characters so long as F2Ps are capable of meeting the requirement without having to pull more 5*s than just the character in question. Which in Nilou's case, you can. Nilou, Traveler, Collei, Barbara is a totally valid and functional build of Nilou Comp without going beyond the guaranteed free characters. Could she be further improved with, say, Kokomi and Nahida? Of course, but what's important is that she's totally functional at a baseline.
Personally, I pulled for her and had a lot of fun. I already had Kokomi, but I didn't pull for Nilou's weapon and will be skipping Nahida, so I'm going to have a pretty middle-of-the-road Nilou. She does struggle against single targets, and certain situations in general play that require specific reactions can be tedious, but when you just detonate a group of mobs with an instant nuke of Bountiful Cores, it's a very potent hit of dopamine. No regrets.
I only pulled for her cause I was bored, she's fun for what she is.
Nilou reminds me of Azure Empyrea from honkai when it comes to mechanics
remember! this is a casual game, and there will be no endgame content anyways so! hoyoverse says that meta doesnt matter, and people should only play this game casually, so no point in theory crafting or trying to learn new metas! this is a joke btw and i am upset at hoyoverse
Ngl Nilou's personality feels like one of those nice for the sake of being nice characters and with her playstyle being semi complicated and one team comp only it's understandable why she isn't too popular a character personally I like her, she's nice to see in the story and I'll pull for her eventually just not rn
