Bloom Support
As a Bloom Support, Nilou's role is to maximize a team's Bloom Damage in teams of strictly Hydro and Dendro characters. Level 90 is highly recommended to maximize Nilou's HP and Bloom Damage.
Weapon Choices:
- Favonius Sword, Festering Desire, and Sacrificial Sword: Strong options if opting to Burst every rotation. Favonius can potentially help other team members' energy needs.
- Do bear in mind though that Nilou strongly prefers Elemental Mastery weapons over Energy Recharge weapons in almost all circumstances.
Artifact Sets:
- +80 Elemental Mastery set (2): These sets provide no benefit if Nilou isn't triggering Blooms.
- +15% Hydro DMG set (2): This is only really a viable option if Nilou is played mostly on-field instead of off-field.
- Deepwood Memories (4): Can be an option if other teammates are not Deepwood Memories holders.

Court of Dancing Petals
Ascension Phase 1
The completion of the third dance step of Nilou's Dance of Haftkarsvar will grant all nearby characters the Golden Chalice's Bounty for 30s.
Characters under the effect of Golden Chalice's Bounty will increase the Elemental Mastery of all nearby characters by 100 for 10s whenever they are hit by Dendro attacks. Also, triggering the Bloom reaction will create Bountiful Cores instead of Dendro Cores.
Such Cores will burst very quickly after being created, and they have larger AoEs.
Bountiful Cores cannot trigger Hyperbloom or Burgeon, and they share an upper numerical limit with Dendro Cores. Bountiful Core DMG is considered DMG dealt by Dendro Cores produced by Bloom.
Should the party not meet the conditions for this Passive Talent, any existing Golden Chalice's Bounty effects will be canceled.
