How and with whom to play Nilou?
With his build, Nilou is a very resistant character in Genshin Impact, but also a very great support. She does not particularly strengthen her team, but takes advantage of her skills to increase her vitality while doing enormous damage. His Divine Eye, however, manages to balance it all, offering him many synergies.
