Developer HoYoverse shared the character demo for Nilou, the star of the Zubayr Theater and the latest 5* hero to join the roster of action-adventure Genshin Impact.
“Although a performance stage has spatial constraints, dance always inspires infinite imagination. Amid free-spirited steps, the night sky transforms into a starry dome, becoming a stage where one can dance to their heart’s content.”
Nilou is a Hydro Sword support character that can change certain Elemental Reactions under specific conditions for the benefit of her team. Her Elemental Skill allows her to perform different types of dance moves, dealing Hydro damage to the opponents or applying Wet status to them. Her Elemental Burst allows her to deal Hydro AoE damage.
When all the party members are of certain Elemental types, Nilou’s Elemental Skill can further grant the Golden Chalice’s Bounty effects to the nearby characters. Triggering the Bloom reaction while this effect is active spawns special Bountiful Cores that burst very quickly after being created with larger AoEs.
If you haven’t gotten Cyno or/and Venti just yet, you might want to hurry. Starting with October 14th and running through November 1st, Genshin Impact receives two new character banners as well as a new weapon banner:
- “Twirling Lotus” event wish will greatly increase the drop-rate boost for Nilou (Hydro 5*) as well as 4* characters Beidou (Electro), Barbara (Hydro) and Xiangling (Pyro);
- “Secretum Secretorum” event wish will provide a huge drop-rate boost for Albedo (5* Geo) as well as aforementioned 4* characters: Beidou (Electro), Barbara (Hydro) and Xiangling (Pyro);
- The weapon banner features increased drop-rate for Key of Khaj-Nisut (Sword) and Primordial Jade Cutter (Sword). While the banner is active, event-exclusive 4* weapons Xiphos’ Moonlight (Sword), Wandering Evenstar (Catalyst), Rainslasher (Claymore), Dragon’s Bane (Polearm) and Sacrifical Bow (Bow) will receive drop-rate increases as well.
