BLOOM SUPPORT Build

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. Regarding Weapon Choices: Favonius Sword, Festering Desire, and Sacrificial Sword are strong options if opting to Burst every rotation. Favonius can potentially help other team members' energy needs. However, Nilou strongly prefers Elemental Mastery weapons over Energy Recharge weapons in almost all circumstances. Regarding Artifact Sets: - 2-piece sets with +80 Elemental Mastery: These sets provide no benefit if Nilou isn't triggering Blooms. - 2-piece sets with +15% Hydro DMG: This is only a viable option if Nilou is played mostly on-field instead of off-field. - Deepwood Memories (4-piece set): Can be an option if other teammates are not Deepwood Memories holders.

Ascension Phase 1

When all characters in the party are all Dendro or Hydro, and there are at least one Dendro character and one Hydro character:
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.
