Comparison of the Best Artifacts of Nilou Genshin Impact 2023

There will never be an end to the debate about artifact recommendations for characters Genshin Impact, one of them is Nilou.

Characters using hydro it has a build kit focused on Bloom's elemental reactions. 

The kit from Nilou is quite unique because it is quite specific and niche compared to other characters, which can increase damage from character Dendro and Hydro as well as passive skills that can increase Bloom's damage.

With the addition of new domains and artifact sets, VCGamers will summarize and compare several artifact sets according to Nilou's build position in your party.

Overview of Nilou Genshin Impact Skills and Stats

Nilou is a 5 star character with the Hydro element which has a kit focus on Bloom's elemental reactions. 

This is because of Nilou's passive skills namely Court of Dancing Petals will give Bountiful Cores if there is at least 1 character Dendro and Hydro in Nilou's party.

Bountiful Cores itself is a Dendro Core which has a greater DMG calculation than an ordinary Dendro Core. 

In addition, the Bountiful Core will only react or explode with Bloom's reaction, not with Hyperbloom or Burgeon.

The focus of this kit is what makes Nilou less flexible to be paired with other Dendro elemental reaction teams or various parties as DPS Hydro like DPS like Childe or Kamisato Ayato.

Even so, the focus of Bloom's elemental reactions is a plus for Nilou, especially for builds.

The focus on building Nilou becomes easier because you already know Nilou's optimal potential for building into Bloom's party. 

So, you only need to provide support or sub characters with only 2 elements, namely Hydro and Dendro.

The advantages of Nilou's build compared to other Genshin Impact characters are you can easily determine which stats to scale the DMG magnification.

All of Nilou's attacks (except Normal Attack which you don't need to level up) require HP.

In fact, Nilou's passive skills will also provide a DMG increase bonus for every HP Nilou has.

So for Nilou builds you can use flat stats HP or HP% as the main stat of all artifact slots.

Elemental Mastery, Energy Recharge, and Hydro DMG Bonus stats can be used as options for companion stats or sub stats.

However, the author recommends meeting the HP stat needs first and then with an optimal of 30,000 new HP focusing on other artifact stats.

Artifact Set Recommendations and Comparisons

If you look at the description of Nilou's stats and skills earlier, can you imagine which artifacts released by Genshin Impact are suitable for Nilou?

The author will compare the use of several artifact bonuses that are usually recommended to be suitable for Nilou.

However, the author advises you to prioritize the Stats in the artifacts rather than the set of artifacts you use.

That said, a matched artifact set will certainly provide another lucrative added bonus for Nilou's build or other characters as well.

If you are still in the early stages of the game with the condition that you cannot farm artifact sets with 5 star rarity, the author recommends fulfilling the stats first.

There are 5 sets of artifacts that the author compares, namely: Vourukasha's Glow, Flower of Paradise Lost, Tenacity of the Millelith, Gilded Dreams, and Heart of Depth.

Vourukasha's Glow

According to the author, Vourukasha's Glow set is the best set for Nilou builds, whether DPS build, sub DPS, or Bloom support (for example using Kaveh as DPS).

Vourukasha's Glow will provide additional HP needed by Nilou. In addition, it will increase the DMG of Nilou's Elemental Skills and Elemental Burst.

The ability to stack the artifact bonus for a maximum of 5 stacks also provides the potential to make Nilou's DMG even bigger.

Flower of Paradise Lost

This artifact was the most recommended set for Nilou before Vourukasha's Glow was released in update 3.6.

Using a set that can increase Elemental Mastery is good for Nilou, provided you have to meet the HP needs from the main stats or weapons, such as using the Key of Khaj Nisut.

Besides that, Flower of Paradise Lost is good for Nilou because it can increase Bloom DMG even though Nilou is not in the area (off field).

This set is good if you need Nilou's flexibility in the area or as a sub DPS.

Gilded Dreams

If you position Nilou as support and paired with Dendro DPS like Kaveh, you can use the 4=PC set of Gilded Dreams artifacts.

This set, which basically already provides additional Elemental Mastery, will provide additional Elemental Mastery and ATK to the characters in the party depending on the number of elements present.

If you choose Nilou as support you have to pay attention to Nilou's gameplay rotation, especially when using Elemental Skills.

When using Elemental Skills, Nilou must end using Elemental Skills by pressing the Elemental Skill button again.

In this way, Nilou will create an area that can apply the Wet status to the enemy and make it easier for Dendro DPS Kaveh to produce a Bloom reaction (make a Bountiful Core).

This area will persist even if you switch Nilou to another character to attack and give Bloom a longer reaction.

If you take a wrong step on Elemental Skill and instead use Normal Attack, you will instead change Nilou's attack to Hydro DMG and won't damage the area around it.

Tenacity of the Millelith

According to the author, this set is good for use by Nilou only to get the HP increase bonus from using 2-PC.

The writer doesn't recommend using the 4-PC Tenacity of the Millelith because basically this set is for supporting characters who can produce shields.

You can pair this artefact with other artifacts like Vourukasha's Glow to increase your HP stat.

Heart of Depth

Basically, the Heart of Depth set is an artifact recommendation for Hydro DPS. However, in the Nilou case, the writer feels it is not suitable.

Hydro DMG Bonus given by Heart of Depth is less needed by Nilou, considering that Nilou's build requires more HP.

In addition, the artifact 4-PC bonus provides additional bonuses to Charged Attack and Normal Attack. Whereas Nilou's Normal Attack has a small scale and will be changed to Hydro DMG when using Elemental Skills.

This is the comparison of artifact bonuses for NIlou from the Genshin Impact game. Do you have Nilou or are you after this character?
