Genshin Impact Nilou build is essential to know for those who are wishing to develop the best character for themselves.
Genshin Impact, the action role-playing game developed by miHoYo was launched back in 2020 and has quickly risen among the ranks in the hearts of players worldwide. The developers keep the game fresh and enjoyable by pumping out new content now and then.
And one such piece of content is Genshin Impact Nilou, an upcoming 5-star Hydro Sword playable character.
Nilou’s graceful disposition mimics that of a fresh lotus flower against a background of lights and music, and that girl dancing on stage is so stunning, that she seems straight out of a fairy tale. However, people who know Nilou will realize that she is considerably different from the cold persona she presents on stage. When Nilou exits the stage, she is just like any other girl her age: amiable, warm, and beaming.
Genshin Impact Nilou – the Dance of Lotuslight is the Star of Zubayr Theater. Moreover, this new female sword character is also the commander of the Hydro element. It has been claimed by the leaker that players will get to see Nilou in the future 3.1 update.
In this post, we’ll discuss Genshin Impact Nilou build, including abilities, skills, constellations, and materials that can maximize her potential.

Genshin Impact Nilou abilities
Genshin Nilou Normal Attack: Dance of the Bowstring Moon
- Normal Attack – Performs up to 3 consecutive sword strikes.
- Charged Attack – Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to perform a twirling slash.
- Plunging Attack – Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Genshin Impact Nilou Elemental Skill – Dance of the Seven Realms
Genshin Nilou enters the Pirouette state, dealing Hydro DMG to nearby opponents based on her Max HP. While she is in the Pirouette state, Nilou’s Normal Attacks and Elemental Attacks 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:
- Sword Dance: unleashes a watery moon 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 watery moon.
- Whirling Steps: Nilou unleashes a hurtling 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.
Genshin Impact 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 or exits these states.
“Daintily her toes touch the water’s face, and the light that ripples forth equals even the seven heavens.”
