E. Elemental Skill
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."

Her Blooms cannot CRIT, but her Elemental Burst or Elemental Skill can, allowing her to use Favonius weapons.
4-piece Tenacity of the Millelith isnt too helpful, so the 2-piece of HP% sets and anything with HP% will suffice.

Nilou | Team Composition and Synergy
Character Guide • Synergy: Nilou | Update Date: 09/11/2025 | Editor: ._.samantha._.
Due to her Passives and the nature of her kit it is highly recommended to play her with only Hydro and Dendro teammates.
However, the bottom two team can work while ignoring her Passives.
The general team will be
*Nilou + Dendro applicator + Healer + Dendro/Hydro flex*. Ayato, Yelan, Xingqiu, Barbara and Kokomi are recommended, but do note Yelan's Damage increase and Mona's Omen debuff does not apply for Bloom.
The Dendro characters recommended are Nahida, Yaoyao, Baizhu, Kirara, Collei, Dendro Traveller, although Tighnari, Kaveh or Al Haitham are functional too.
A healer is almost always needed due to Bloom damaging the active character.

Neither Flower Nor Mist
DefaultNilou's outfit. It is neither flower nor mist, but when she begins to dance, both seem to bloom into being.
Breeze of Sabaa
An elegant outfit for Nilou, this featherweight dress is seemingly woven of countless flowers, and with it drifts a light fragrance like the east wind at dawn, carrying beauteous blessings from a fairytale land.
Stories
"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.
