Nilou Skills
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.
Elemental Skill: Dance of the Seven Realms
Enters the Pirouette state, dealing Hydro DMG to nearby opponents based on Nilou’s 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.
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.”
Elemental Burst: Dance of the Lotus: Distant Dreams, Listening Spring
Begins the dance of faraway dreams and springs that hear, causing a Lotus of Distant Waters to bloom, dealing AoE Hydro DMG based on Nilou’s Max HP and applying the Lingering Aeon effect to all opponents hit.
After an interval, opponents affected by Lingering Aeon will take Hydro DMG.
“We have never witnessed that distant dream, but this dance can bring it to life.”

Other Nilou Details
Official Introduction – “The dance of the lotus blooms, awakening form an ethereal dream”
- “Since you’re in Sumeru, you must not miss Nilou’s performances.” This is a fact that most people in Sumeru agree on. There is no threshold for Nilou’s dances, so everyone can come and enjoy a most fascinating and engrossing time there. Nilou’s audience comes from all walks of life. Be it a knowledgeable researcher or a mercenary who’s seen true brutality — everyone is attracted here by Nilou’s gorgeous, dancing form. Every time Nilou takes the stage, a press of people crowds the Grand Bazaar until all are standing shoulder to shoulder. Rational sense and wisdom are the mainstream in Sumeru, while art, which stands for sensibility, does not enjoy the same popularity and respect. Yet if wisdom is meaning bestowed upon Sumeru by the goddess, then art stands for meaning that human beings seek for themselves.
Nilou's specialty dish is called Swirling Steps, made by cooking Padisarah Pudding with her.
- Effect: Decreases all party members’ climbing and sprinting Stamina consumption by 25% for 1500s. In Co-Op Mode, this effect only applies to your own character(s).
- Description: Nilou’s specialty. The crystal-clear cup that reminds you of an ornate jewel case contains a soft, melt-in-your-mouth pudding. The reddish coloration, like a fleeting trance, reminds you ever so much of Nilou’s radiant, dancing form. Ah, would that this dance might last forever.
Her outfit is named “Neither Flower Nor Mist.”
- Description: Nilou’s outfit. It is neither flower nor mist, but when she begins to dance, both seem to bloom into being.
