On the battlefield, players will get to witness more of Nilou’s graceful dance steps, where her abilities revolve all around them. The Star of the Zubayr Theater is an excellent support with some DPS potential, so players should decide how they want to play their Nilou before determining Nilou’s best build in Genshin Impact.

Nilou Best Build In Genshin Impact
Nilou best build in Genshin Impact mostly focuses on her supportive value, but players can also choose to play her as a DPS.
Best Artifacts For Support Nilou
Artifact Set
2pc Tenacity of the Millelith + 2pc +80 Elemental Mastery 4pc Deepwood Memories 4pc Gilded Dreams 2pc Gilded Dreams + 2pc Wanderer’s Troupe
For the best artifact set for support Nilou, players should focus on maximizing Nilou’s HP, so 2pc Tenacity of the Millelith is a great option. Then, for the second set, players can use either 2pc Gilded Dreams or 2pc Wanderer’s Troupe for 80 extra Elemental Mastery. Alternatively, if no one in the team uses 4pc Deepwood Memories, then Nilou can be the one wielding it.
Artifact Main Stat
Timepiece: HP Goblet: HP or Hydro DMG Bonus Circlet: HP
Triple HP is the best choice for Nilou so that players can maximize her HP and the bonus provided by her fourth-Ascension passive. If the dancer uses the Key of Khaj-Nisut, then HP becomes even more crucial.
Best Weapons For Support Nilou
Key of Khaj-Nisut Sacrificial Sword Iron Sting Sapwood Blades
Key of Khaj-Nisut is Nilou’s best weapon in Genshin Impact. It’s great to boost both Nilou’s and the entire team’s Elemental Mastery. The EM buff granted by the weapon scales with HP, which emphasize the importance of the stat for her.
Best Artifacts For DPS Nilou
Artifact Set
2pc Tenacity of the Millelith + 2pc Heart of Depths 4pc Gilded Dreams
DPS Nilou is a little more complicated. Nilou’s Hydro Infusion from her Skill is considered Elemental Skill DMG, so there’s no artifact set that can buff it directly. Instead, players have to settle with +20% HP from Tenacity and +15% Hydro DMG Bonus from Heart of Depths.
However, if Candace exists to support Nilou in Genshin Impact, then players can use Nilou more often as Candace will provide Hydro Infusion via her Elemental Burst. But for this case, Nilou’s attacks will come from her Auto Attack talent, which means it scales with ATK instead of HP.
Artifact Main Stat
Timepiece: HP Goblet: Hydro DMG Bonus Circlet: HP or Critical Rate/DMG
Best Weapons For DPS Nilou
Primordial Jade Cutter Mistsplitter Reforged Haran Geppaku Futsu
For those who insist on keeping Nilou on the field, Genshin Impact Swords that boost Critical Stats are naturally the best options. Primordial Jade Cutter grants a large Crit Rate and some additional HP, while Mistsplitter Reforged and Haran Geppaku Futsu are viable as a stat-stick.
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
