To pull or not to pull? It's a bit of a nagging question that all Genshin Impact fans ask themselves as soon as a new character comes out. And with Nilou, this problem is even more acute than usual. Why ? Because the dancer alone embodies a very daring choice on the part of the developers: the "niche" character . This is an expression that characterizes what works in very specific circumstances, or with a limited audience. And that's the whole problem of Nilou; it only fully expresses itself in a Bloom composition , which for the moment still has too few leading characters to be relevant.
When it works, it works
By virtue of his kit, Nilou excels in a "bloom" composition, that is to say which bets everything on the reactions maintained by the Hydro and Dendro elements. And even if this composition is still very little used by players today, it is undeniably impressive, as this clip posted on Reddit shows.
The "niche" character; a recent concept
Nilou's design surprised the community a lot, as it's obvious that this character is very dependent on other characters/elements to function properly. Some players, however, believe that this choice of developers is a chance for the community , since it will diversify the typology of playable teams in Genshin Impact. So of course, these "niche" characters will certainly be expensive and demanding, but they will create a lot of originality on the Hoyoverse RPG.
Nahida and the Dendro in sight
To fully appreciate Nilou's potential, however, we must keep in mind the fact that other Dendro characters will -relatively soon- come to complete our line-ups. Starting with Nahida, the archon Dendro programmed for patch 3.2, which will boost Dendro synergies.
Nilou is therefore undoubtedly a character who will need to mature over the patches , so that you find him useful with the characters you have. Du Dendro is coming. In quantity and quality. But you will have to be a little patient.
