BLOOM SUPPORT Build 👍
As a Bloom Support, Nilou's role is to maximize a team's Bloom Damage in teams of strictly Hydro and Dendro characters. Level 90 is highly recommended to maximize Nilou's HP and Bloom Damage Regarding Weapon Choices: Favonius Sword, Festering Desire and Sacrificial Sword: Strong options if opting to Burst every rotation. Favonius can potentially help other team members' energy needs. Do bear in mind though that Nilou strongly prefers Elemental Mastery weapons over Energy Recharge weapons in almost all circumstances. Regarding Artifact Sets: +80 Elemental Mastery set (2): These sets provide no benefit if Nilou isn't triggering Blooms. +15% Hydro DMG set (2): This is only really a viable option if Nilou is played mostly on-field instead of off-field. Deepwood Memories (4): Can be an option if other teammates are not Deepwood Memories holders. Prefers HP substats above all else until you reach the limit of your A4 passive which is at 74444 HP Talent levels do not affect Nilou's buff to Bloom damage, so heavy investment in Talents is not necessary
ABILITY TIP
Off Field Combo (Q) E N3 (Sword Dance) - Minimizes her own Bloom ownership (Q) E E E E (Whirling Steps) - Primarily used when Nilou is wielding Key of Khaj-Nisut

ARTIFACTS
Normal Attack: Dance of Samser
Normal Attack
Performs up to 3 consecutive sword strikes.
Charged Attack
Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to perform a twirling slash.
Plunging Attack
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Dance of Haftkarsvar
Enters the Pirouette state, dealing Hydro DMG to nearby opponents based on Nilou's Max HP.
While she is in the Pirouette state, Nilou's Normal Attacks and Elemental Skill will cause her to enter the Sword Dance and Whirling Steps stances respectively, causing DMG she deals to be converted to Hydro DMG that cannot be overridden and that is considered Elemental Skill DMG.
In these stances, Nilou's third dance step will end Pirouette, and has the following effects based on the type of said dance step:
- Sword Dance: unleashes a Luminous Illusion that deals Hydro DMG to opponents it touches and grants Nilou the Lunar Prayer effect. This effect converts Nilou's Normal Attacks into Sword Dance techniques, and her final hit will unleash a Luminous Illusion.
- Whirling Steps: Nilou unleashes a Whirling Water Wheel that deals AoE Hydro DMG and creates a Tranquility Aura that follows your active character around and applies Wet to opponents within its AoE.
Nilou is unable to perform Charged Attacks when under the effect of Pirouette or Lunar Prayer. These effects will be removed once she leaves the field.
"Daintily her toes touch the water's face, and the light that ripples forth equals even the seven heavens."
Dance of Abzendegi: Distant Dreams, Listening Spring
Begins the dance of faraway dreams and springs that hear, causing a Lotus of Distant Waters to bloom, dealing AoE Hydro DMG based on Nilou's Max HP and applying the Lingering Aeon effect to all opponents hit.
After an interval, opponents affected by Lingering Aeon will take Hydro DMG.
"We have never witnessed that distant dream, but this dance can bring it to life."
Passive Talents
Court of Dancing Petals
When all characters in the party are all Dendro or Hydro, and there are at least one Dendro character and one Hydro character:
The completion of the third dance step of Nilou's Dance of Haftkarsvar will grant all nearby characters the Golden Chalice's Bounty for 30s upon its completion.
Characters under the effect of Golden Chalice's Bounty will increase the Elemental Mastery of all nearby characters by 100 for 10s whenever they are hit by Dendro attacks. Also, triggering the Bloom reaction will create Bountiful Cores instead of Dendro Cores.
Such Cores will burst very quickly after being created, and they have larger AoEs.
Bountiful Cores cannot trigger Hyperbloom or Burgeon, and they share an upper numerical limit with Dendro Cores. Bountiful Core DMG is considered DMG dealt by Dendro Cores produced by Bloom.
Should the party not meet the conditions for this Passive Talent, any existing Golden Chalice's Bounty effects will be canceled.
Dreamy Dance of Aeons
Every 1,000 points of Nilou's Max HP above 30,000 will cause the DMG dealt by Bountiful Cores created by characters affected by Golden Chalice's Bounty to increase by 9%.
The maximum increase in Bountiful Core DMG that can be achieved this way is 400%.

When Perfect Cooking is achieved on Food with Adventure-related effects, there is a 12% chance to obtain double the product.
