Nilou’s entire kit is made to enhance the damage of the Bloom Reactions for both herself and her team. She makes it easy to rapidly deal between 15k to 30k Dendro DMG with little effort. As if all that isn’t good enough, the Hydro dancer can even enhance those damage to an even higher number, as long as players unlock Nilou’s Constellations in Genshin Impact.

Are Nilou’s Constellations Worth It In Genshin Impact?
Nilou is already great even at C0, but if players enjoy her playstyle enough to desire her Constellation, then they can find her best upgrades on her first, second, and sixth Constellations.
C1 - Dance of the Waning Moon
Effect: Elemental Skill’s Luminous Illusion DMG is increased by 65%, and Tranquility Aura’s duration is extended by 6s. Importance: High
The second C1 effect can actually be obtained by using the Sacrificial Sword in Genshin Impact. But, for players using her best-in-slot weapon, then Nilou’s C1 is highly important. For the main DPS style, Nilou gains higher damage on every third hit, while for the support style, Nilou can now maintain 100% uptime on her Hydro application.
C2 - The Starry Skies Their Flowers Rain
Effect: After characters affected by the Golden Chalice’s Bounty deal Hydro DMG to opponents, that opponent’s Hydro RES will be decreased by 35% for 10s. After a triggered Bloom reaction deals DMG to opponents, their Dendro RES will be decreased by 35% for 10s. Importance: Priority
Meanwhile, Nilou’s second Constellation in Genshin Impact is the most important part of her enhancements. Players will deal both a higher Hydro and Dendro damage, which means better Bloom damage as well.
C4 - Fricative Pulse
Effect: After the third dance step of Elemental Skill‘s Pirouette hits opponents, Nilou will gain 15 Elemental Energy, and DMG from her Elemental Burst will be increased by 50% for 8s. Importance: Medium
Nilou’s fourth Constellation is basically only a boost to her Elemental Burst in Genshin Impact. It’s not very important since it’s a simple personal-DPS increase.
C6 - Frostbreaker’s Melody
Effect: For every 1,000 points of Max HP, Nilou’s CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG will increase by 0. 6% and 1. 2%, respectively. The maximum increase in CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG is 30% and 60%, respectively. Importance: Priority
Nilou’s sixth Constellation in Genshin Impact is also an increase in personal DPS, but the effect is both great and easy to achieve. Players can easily gain over 65,000 HP with Nilou, while this upgrade only requires 50,000 HP to maximize. Considering all the damage buff Nilou gains from her previous Constellations, this effect is the final thing she needs to become a more viable damage dealer.
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
