Mistakes When Playing Nilou Genshin Impact You Should Avoid

Nilou is one of the newest additions to the Genshin Impact roster that has unusual mechanics. It’s easy to get confused between the things she has to offer and the long text of her skill descriptions. Therefore, to help players use Nilou properly, here are some mistakes people should avoid when using Nilou in Genshin Impact.

Nilou is the newest character in Genshin Impact and she impresses with her unusual mechanics. While it’s easy to confuse what she has to offer, you need to take notes of some notices in order to max this character out.

Here are some mistakes when playing Nilou.

Misuse her Elemental Skill

Nilou in Genshin Impact has a unique Elemental Skill that players can use depending on how they want her role to be. After you press Nilou’s Elemental Skill, she will enter the Pirouette state.

This is when you can use either of these effects by tapping her Normal Attack or Skill:

• Normal Attack: Deal Sword Dance damage, Lunar Prayer effect
• Elemental Skill: Create Whirling Steps damage, Tranquility Aura

Entering the Lunar Prayer state will let Nilou dance on the field while dealing DMG as a DPS in the team. Meanwhile, dealing the Tranquility Aura will make her a Hydro enabler. In this case, it’s best to swap her out and utilize a more offensive character.

Unaware of Nilou’s Ascension Passives

Genshin Impact Nilou’s A1 has a lot of words, so here’s a breakdown of her ascension passive:

1. If every character in the team is either Hydro or Dendro (and at least one Dendro or Hydro there is), Nilou’s 3rd dance will offer Golden Chalice’s Bounty effect for 30 seconds.
2. The Golden Chalice’s Bounty turns the Dendro Cores created by Bloom into Bountiful Cores .
3. Bountiful Cores will explode in less than a sec, unlike Dendro Cores that require 6 seconds to explode. You cannot use Bountiful Cores to trigger Burgeon or Hyperbloom.
4. In the duration of Golden Chalice’s Bounty effect, being attacked by Dendro DMG will enhance the roster’s Elemental Mastery by 100 for 10 seconds.

Thanks to Nilou’s A4, the Bountiful Cores is the greatest in Nilou’s gameplay.
