Dance of HaftkarsvarDance 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."

"We have never witnessed that distant dream, but this dance can bring it to life."

Character Details"Since you're in Sumeru, you must not miss Nilou's performances."
This is a fact that most people in Sumeru agree on.
There is no threshold for Nilou's dances, so everyone can come and enjoy a most fascinating and engrossing time there.
Nilou's audience comes from all walks of life. Be it a knowledgeable researcher or a mercenary who's seen true brutality — everyone is attracted here by Nilou's gorgeous, dancing form.
Every time Nilou takes the stage, a press of people crowds the Grand Bazaar until all are standing shoulder to shoulder.
Rational sense and wisdom are the mainstream in Sumeru, while art, which stands for sensibility, does not enjoy the same popularity and respect.
Yet if wisdom is meaning bestowed upon Sumeru by the goddess, then art stands for meaning that human beings seek for themselves.
Character Story 1Unlike other dancers across the continent who hail from artistic families, Nilou came from an ordinary family in Sumeru.
The life that the family of three once lived was no different from that of many who lived in downtown area.
The knowledge they gained from the Akasha was enough for their common day-to-day lives.
If there was anything special about Nilou's family, it was that Nilou's parents' loved and cared for her very much.
Although the pursuit of scholarship is prevalent in Sumeru, Nilou's parents never compared Nilou with other children, nor did they expect Nilou to become a researcher.
Growing up happily and living a stable life was all that they wanted for her.
Nilou thus grew up surrounded by love and respect.
Later, even when there were differences of opinion and occasional arguments between her parents, Nilou's thoughtful and considerate mediation would permit no harm or grudge to ever linger in their family.
* Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 2
Character Story 2Every inch of the Grand Bazaar has been measured by Nilou's footprints, and she keeps everyone at Grand Bazaar in her heart.
Nilou can introduce anyone in the Grand Bazaar in detail, as if they were a family member.
Mr. Jut usually gets up early to make tahchin, so if you want the privilege of having the most delicious bite of freshly cooked tahchin, be sure to get up early!
Mr. Afshin's storytelling skills are simply divine. His wonderful ingenuity always makes people want to buy his merchandise.
Mr. Hushang, who sells toys, has very dexterous hands. With them, he fashions the most fascinating little toys, and they are very popular amongst children.
And, of course, everyone has long regarded this smart red-haired girl as a family member too.
Every time Nilou goes grocery shopping, she always ends up carrying more items than on her purchase list just by making a single trip through the streets, and the weight of the groceries shows exactly how much people like and take care of Nilou.
Of course, Nilou also takes care of them in return.
Hushang and Farhad may have a quarrel over a bet, about as long as Nilou shows up, the two will surely be reconciled.
If Afshin's Sumpter Beasts have stolen someone else's food, Nilou will come forward and help make amends.
If you ask Nilou why she is so enthusiastic, she will answer with a smile:
"Because family is supposed to help each other, hehe."
For Nilou, her mom and dad are her small family, while everyone in the Grand Bazaar is her big family.
* Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 3
Character Story 3Nilou remembers clearly that she met her teacher at the Sabzeruz Festival when she was eight years old.
Back then, the Knight of Flowers gave her a lot of Yalda Candies, and so little Nilou passed by the Zubayr Theater with candies in both hands.
The Sabzeruz Festival is a celebration that features dance, but before, only dance groups from abroad were invited to sing and dance at the festival — and on a temporary stage, to boot.
Now that the Grand Bazaar finally had its own theater, excited people were flocking to the new stage.
Little Nilou managed to squeeze through the crowd to the front of the stage and saw the teacher dance for the first time.
Even though there were no flowers on the stage, at that moment, Nilou felt as if she was watching thousands upon thousands of flowers blooming all at once.
The candies in her hands fell to the ground unnoticed, and she couldn't help but dance along.
It was only when the dance had ended that little Nilou realized what she had done, and hurriedly apologized to the people around her who had made room.
It was at this moment that her teacher also walked down from the stage in an elegant manner and helped her pick the Yalda Candies back up.
She reached out her hand to little Nilou, and asked gracefully—
"Would you like to join me for a future dance?"
* Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 4
Character Story 4Although she has lived her entire life in Sumeru, the city of wisdom, Nilou has never shown any talent in the field of "knowledge." However, she always knows how to soothe the emotions of others in her own way.
"This is probably a generous gift to me from Lesser Lord Kusanali."
After learning to dance with her teacher, Nilou became deeply aware of the power of body language.
Combining her talents and knowledge of body language, she created her very own form of "body movement therapy."
For example, when Mr. Zubayr is angry, everyone in the theater would be walking on eggshells.
But Nilou would keep a warm smile, drawing wonderful patterns one after another in the air with her arms and fingers.
"Imagine that we are in the rainforest that has just rained, and that you are following me as we walk onward, saying hello to every animal that passes by, waving, leaving everything else behind..."
Perhaps this may seem childish and funny to a bystander, but for those who are wrapped up in the moment, Nilou's gentle voice can cause the anger that clouds their minds to disappear before they even know it.
What's even more amazing is that, according to Mr. Afshin, this body movement therapy has been trending recently — and it even works on his two stubborn Sumpter Beasts...
* Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 5
Character Story 5Be it in day-to-day life or her performances on stage, Nilou has always maintained a simple attitude —
To melt everyone's worries away and let comfort and ease waltz in.
But when "trouble" comes to her, she is often distressed due to her inability to make the call.
Tahchin sure is delicious, but Pita Pocket is also good, and I also saw someone holding a Potato Boat that seemed really yummy. Which one should I eat tonight?
I've heard people talk about places outside Sumeru City... the pure white snowy mountain and windmills the size of giants... Should I also consider going out for a trip?
Nilou can often find good reasons to go with any of the options she is considering, and so they are like Forest Tree Frogs sitting across from one another with bellies out, not one able to win the others over.
But if there was a person who could make a decision at this time and tell her with confidence and calm:
"Why not have half the amount of each and share them with me?"
"And as for those places you have never been to, I have already set foot there. I can assure you that they are safe."
...Nilou would dismiss her hesitation in an instant and raise her arms in a dance-like graceful gesture of thanks, before indulging in the joy of having solved a great problem for a long time indeed.
* Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 6
Letters from the AudienceRefusing to accept gifts on stage has been a long-standing rule in the Zubayr Theater.
Sometimes, the audiences do still get too excited and may insist on giving various kinds of gifts to Nilou. That said, such givers will definitely receive a gift in return the very next day, along with a note that has been left at their doors...
"Thank you for your kindness. If you would like to express your love for Nilou's dance, you may write a letter to the Zubayr Theater instead of sending gifts."
And so it came to pass that like snow flakes dancing and falling in the air, letters filled with the audience members' passionate praise have been sent in batches and droves by the Dusk Birds to the theater's mailbox.
During her free time when there are no shows or rehearsals, Nilou will read every letter carefully, share this joy with the other members of the Zubayr Theater, and then carefully preserve these letters.
Every word and every expression of recognition and fondness in the letters is worth remembering and appreciating.
As Nilou bettered her dancing skills, more and more people came to watch her dance, and in time, the letters have added up to quite the stack indeed.
But if someone cracks a joke, saying that Nilou is the most valuable treasure in the Zubayr Theater, she will definitely shake her head with a sweet smile.
"Our most valuable treasure is our audience's love, and it is all carefully stored in one mysterious box."
* Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 4
VisionNilou has heard her teacher talk about the meaning of dance more than once. From her teacher's perspective, dance is born from human life and has belonged to everyone from the very beginning.
"As a dancer, you should convey emotions on stage, and your audience's smiles are their response to the emotions conveyed in your dance."
Nilou was well aware that she was nowhere near as good at thinking about the "meaning" behind things as Akademiya researchers. But still, she practiced diligently each day under the direction of her teacher and planned to continue following in her footsteps.
When she finally first took the stage, she quickly became completely immersed in the performance, holding nothing back.
She thought of the wind, the moon, the gentle sound of the rose blooming, the feeling of stroking the tail feathers of Dusk Birds, and a myriad of beautiful things that existed in this world.
She wanted to display the beauty she perceived in her heart to the entire audience through her dance.
Slowly, splashes of water ran together, converging into a lake on the stage. Like a Crystalfly dancing on a lake's surface, Nilou gently fluttered back and forth, and the lake-mirror rippled slightly in time to her steps.
Like a water lily, her body swirled in the middle of that lake. Amazed at such pure and flawless beauty, the audience almost forgot to breathe.
After the curtain fell, Nilou flopped down on the backstage chair and took deep breaths.
Like dewdrops on a lotus leaf, a Hydro Vision had appeared at her waist.
Nilou thought then that she had perhaps found the purpose of dance at last —
"To become beauty, and then to convey the beauty and value of art."

  1. has anyone tested or calc’d how does she perform compared to burgeon teams? it’s pretty much the same thing but idk what’s better dps. she’s probably easier to use tho.

    • In a Burgeon team she’s just a hydro App, she litteraly loses both passives. and there goes all of her scaling. like maybe for the easy AoE hydro exists, but XQ Yelan and Furina all are there for off-field hydro app

      • Ah, Misread your comment, she scales her cores very hard, is why, burgeon requires an EM pyro unit to blow up the cores, which there is a lack of right now. Also her 400% scaling on damage, is kinda stupid

  2. Barbara, Nilou, Kirara, DMC/Nahida

    This team is so easy and satisfying to use on abyss with Barb and Kirara on Sac Weps.
    You just cat smack everyone to death while not taking any damage at all.

  3. finally in 4.1 we get a hp% 4* sword, but it is weapon banner only…
    it also gives energy and em when healed:

    The Dock
    Sword
    Base ATK 510
    HP 41.3%
    When this character is healed or causes healing, they will gain a Mark for 30s. Max 3 Marks. This character can gain the Marks even when off-field. When a Marked character uses an Elemental Skill or Burst, all Marks will be consumed and a corresponding number of Effect stacks will be gained. Each stack will restore 2/2.5/3/3.5/4 Energy and increase Elemental Mastery by 40/50/60/70/80. The Effect lasts 10s, and can be gained once every 15s.

  4. Hey, Nilou haters.

    My Nilou(C0)/DMC/Collei/Barbara without 5* weapons bonked EVERY abyss since her release. Including Wenut and Wolflord.

    If you think Nilou is not f2p friendly – you automatically admit you have skill issues and you’re just bad player, there are no counter-arguments.

    Before even blabbering something learn to play, ok?

    Can you do the same with your 5* with three free units? Of course not, cuz they’re bad without their dedicated gacha supports, especially without benny, xl, kazu or xq LULW(those characters are so strong already they don’t need your carries lmao, telling you how “important” your mains are)

  5. tbh, I like her unique style and tried to force myself to pull she, but before that I fond all the information available.
    1. her gameplay is terrible, because she is not on-field, you need to adjust her rotation to the characters you have;
    2. she is limited by team compositions, 90% of her talents become useless if conditions are not met;
    3. there are no decent guides for nilou with DPS spreadsheets in various compositions, energy recovery requirements, priority characters, etc., etc. You need to walk through this minefield on your own. But you don’t need it, believe.
    4. She has no f2p replacement for weapon, characters
    5. Farming artifacts is actually not so easy, because. She needs other couples, not ACD (ATK-Crit-DMG)
    6. Her blooming, oh horror, depends on the ping! If you play on mobile phone or an unstable internet connection, the team stops working.
    She have been blacklisted.
    Hey trolls, don’t litter this thread, let the novices see this, and not just your cum on the nilou.

    • “her gameplay is terrible, because she is not on-field”
      That is subjective, there are several other off-field characters that people still like (Kazuha, Nahida, etc)

      “you need to adjust her rotation to the characters you have”
      Just like every other character? idk i don’t see the problem in that

      “she is limited by team compositions, 90% of her talents become useless if conditions are not met”
      bRuh y’all act as if 2 passives not working is the end of the world… Noelle’s passive are useless and yet people use her as dps, Zhongli’s passives are also pretty useless yet he’s still top shielder, Bennett’s passives are useless unless you actually need to spam skill for energy but most of the time you really don’t.
      In fact there are several characters whose passives aren’t that useful or fully utilized at all in most of their actual “optimal” gameplay, if you want you can ignore dendro and build a hydro dps Nilou with her self infusion on na skill stance, nothing’s stopping you, she’s got decent multipliers and cd’s too. You could also use her other stance as just a hydro applicator for other teams. Ofc, her niche is bloom buffing and is optimal to have one build for that, but she can definitely be used outside of it and she won’t be dead weight.
      I for one use Shenhe with EoSF and A/D/C build in a Dehya melt team, since one of her passives buff’s burst damage globally, not just cryo, and she’s also kind of a fast cryo applicator. Y’all should try to think outside of what CC’s tell you sometime, it’s quite fun actually.

      “She has no f2p replacement for weapon, characters”
      She does tho.
      As for weapons: fav, iron sting, umbrella, sapwood, even skyrider if all you need is er, her burst is non-negligible. Or Harbringer if you wanna build her hydro dps.
      For character: Collei, DMC, Barbruh, Yaoyao (who could be gotten from lantern rite). Nilou bloom is even unironically one of the teams to actually use Candace. XL if you wanna vape with her, Kaeya if you want freeze, Lisa if you want to use her as taser driver. The list goes on and on.

      “Farming artifacts is actually not so easy, because. She needs other couples, not ACD (ATK-Crit-DMG)”
      It is easy, hp pieces are really common and all you’d need is er, em or flat hp, which aside from em are also very common substats, but as always it comes down to luck with the trash artifact system the game has.

      “Her blooming, oh horror, depends on the ping! If you play on mobile phone or an unstable internet connection, the team stops working.”
      Yeah, also just like every other character lol, shocker, if you play a game that needs you to be permanently online with a bad connection you’ll get bad results, who would’ve expected. Damage is always calculated server side, even if you are able to trigger reactions the enemy won’t be damaged so why are you even playing on bad connection lol, that problem would be on you instead of the character.

      “She have been blacklisted.
      Hey trolls, don’t litter this thread, let the novices see this, and not just your cum on the nilou.”
      Yeah, whatever you say bro

    • What a tons of nonsense here… Why do you pull for a char if you don’t like her ?

      “her gameplay is terrible” => By not needing to be onfield after 4E, you can play another dendro or hydro onfield for better result since she will be full HP and you onfield unit full EM for higher core dmg… In vape/mono hydro team, she is onfield to deal damage. I don’t see your point.

      “she is limited by team compositions” We have a lot of decent option now in hydro and dendro chars. Which other element do you want to add ?
      Pyro, Electro ? Can’t yuse bloom and mess with dendro aura.
      Anemo ? If 2D1H+Anemo, you won’t be able to siwrl hydro, if 2H1D, not enough dendro app to sustain hydro app => Both case DPS loss.
      Geo ? Lower the core production so the DPS of the team
      Only which can be viable would be Cryo for Fridge mecanic but so it limited cryo option too.

      “there are no decent guides for nilou” => https://www.youtube.com/@jamiekb9v and https://www.youtube.com/@GenshinDPSCalc are your friend, they cover nearly every Nilou’s team possible with calculation and/or showcases.

      “She has no f2p replacement for weapon, characters” => No HP weapon but EM or Favonius work well. Barbara/Collei/Dendro MC are all free unit and the team works fine.

      “Farming artifacts is actually not so easy” => You litteraly only need HP% en some EM/HP/ER substats… It’s easy to get some while farming ACD pieces.

      “Her blooming, oh horror, depends on the ping!” Like every char in the game ?

      No need to spread hate, if you don’t like the char, don’t pull for her. =)

    • @ok buddy r
      “That is subjective, there are several other off-field characters that people still like”
      the characters you listed deal DAMAGE. The same goes for – ayato, ganyu, xingqiu, albedo, fischl, yae miko, trigger reaction lisa/kuki, etc
      “Just like every other character?”
      -Perhaps you need a stopwatch to measure the time that each character spends?
      the time spent on activating abilities is worse only for ayato

      her passive talents are her only feature, without them she does not exist.

      I wrote decent ones, not a reference to the shit that you threw off. This is shit, yes, I talked to the author, he stole the information without even bothering to figure it out

      fav/sac or KKN? yes it is a great choice…

      “Yeah, also just like every other character lol,”
      -surprise, child does not have these problems, neither does kuki shinobu/Thoma too How to explain it? This was shock for me as well.

      @Dnoyr Noptère

      • “the characters you listed deal DAMAGE. The same goes for – ayato, ganyu, xingqiu, albedo, fischl, yae miko, trigger reaction lisa/kuki, etc”
        Nilou also does damage via the blooms themselves, but i guess that wouldn’t fit your narrative to keep on hating lmao

        “-Perhaps you need a stopwatch to measure the time that each character spends?
        the time spent on activating abilities is worse only for ayato”
        Nah, I don’t, it ain’t that difficult to make proper rotations if you know uptime and downtime, and every character still have that.

        “her passive talents are her only feature, without them she does not exist.”
        Didn’t read my suggestions or are dismissing them for your own narrative. Cope.

        “I wrote decent ones, not a reference to the shit that you threw off. This is shit, yes, I talked to the author, he stole the information without even bothering to figure it out”
        I don’t understand what this even means lmao (broken english goes hard), by author are you saying JamieKB9V told that to you specifically for no reason? yeah, you totally didn’t make it up on the spot XDDD.

        “fav/sac or KKN? yes it is a great choice…”
        Yes, if you don’t see how, or rather, don’t wanna see how to keep your hating narrative alive, your own problem.

        “surprise, child does not have these problems, neither does kuki shinobu/Thoma too How to explain it? This was shock for me as well.”
        Better surprise, they do. As I said, damage is calculated server side, get good internet or go cry in the corner, the problem is on you.

        “unfortunately I will ignore your comment, so. I really don’t understand what nonsense you wrote. Try to explain better.”
        I honestly should have just replied this back to you, you stopped making any sense lmaoo.

    • As required to be proved, none of the above arguments was refuted. Nilou-players, or rather, just trolls, in their answers slipped into insults and drooling prove that there are no bad characters and that the content of the developer is good, etc., it’s just that I don’t know how to play and I have a bad Internet, ha ha, Without knowing it, turning on the proxy allows you to adjust the connection speed as you wish.
      Friends, this messages is a clear proof of the work of the hypeimpact – this is a scam, and in the most primitive form.

        And I did refute your “arguments” (pretending your failed attempts could be called that lmfao), but here you are still being dismissive for your own narrative. Fortunately everyone else that comes here can read for their own and see who the real troll, or rather, hater, is, as proven with the other people replying.

    • Agreed, I didn’t pull for her though because I don’t like her design ijn general, her head looks too big and weird.

      Nilou must be the only char that is good in one singe team comp, throw her in a none bloom comp and she is just a bad hydro char with no effects, so why even bother using her for anything else, which is a bit sad tbh, because she is an extremely limiting char. Even Shenhe has more uses, because she works with every cryo Char and can even buff non cryo chars to some degree, Nilou outside of bloom is just on level of a bad 4 star

    • Sounds like a skill issue.

      Her f2p team Nilou/DMC/Collei/Barbara with no 5* weapons never failed every abyss(nailing into your head this key word – “every” means “no exceptions”). Including Wolflord and Wenut one.

      She is the Easiest and Cheapest(top #1 cheapest character to build in _entire genshin_, repeating for dumbheads – easiest cheapest) character to build. Triple HP mainstat random artifacts. Iron sting as a weapon. Random EM artifacts on other teammatess with ER substats(easy to chase). 3* 4* free weapons(literally slap r1 magic guide on Barbara and enjoy 35k blooms). NO talents leveling required(except Barbara’s healing)

      All “”problems”” you stated in your comment are your personal _skill issue_ and can’t be taken seriously. It’s your only problem. Before blabbering random shit learn to play the game, thanks for reading.

      And if you ask for “source” then you just admit you know nothing about Nilou(there are tons of f2p showcases, imagine unironically not knowing that before typing your nonsense)

      Argument about “niche” is invalid. There is two types of niche. Team building niche. Content coverage niche. First type is never has been problem. Second type is not related to Nilou(she is strong against 99.9% of the genshin content)

    • This is a ton of misinformation. Novices beware:

      1. False. You absolutely can play her on-field. She has huge HP pool so she can tank. Her sword dance has the longest range for a sword character. It’s actually really fun to snipe faraway enemies with her final attack string.

      2. Agree, but the catch is, if you are able to meet the conditions, she can destroy 90% of the game’s content. Give and take.

      3. False. Youtube jamiekb9v, or Nilou guide on keqing mains website, or r/NilouMains on Reddit.

      4. Four star EM/ER swords are fine. If you throw all HP artifacts on her, she still can reach 50k HP easily.

      5. You are implying getting ATK/CR/CDmg artifacts are easier than HP/EM/ER, which is simply not true.

      6. That applies to ALL online games. Hard pill to swallow: do not play online games if you don’t have a good internet connection.

  6. Her and Candace are the only Hydro units im missing rn. And 3.6 has been surprisingly kind to me, so im close to pity once again after getting Nahida… maybe I can squeeze in Nilou and Baizhu, then save until Fontaine? Since the only thing I’d break my saving for is a random Zhongli reappearance (he hates me and dodges me repeatedly but I need him so bad). Nilou lovers wish me luck <3

    I’m even afraid to imagine what kind of absurdity she can do with her weapon….
    Currently in 62,345 HP with some random 4* sword. Now I’m planning to pull for her weapon, but I’m not sure if Nahida’s weapon any good? (I just don’t think I’ll get Nilou’s bis…) I’m using Nahida with Widsith for now
