Skill

Dance of Haftkarsvar

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 Skill 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 based on the type of said dance step:

• Sword Dance: unleashes a Luminous Illusion 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 Luminous Illusion.
• Whirling Steps: Nilou unleashes a Whirling 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.

"Daintily her toes touch the water's face, and the light that ripples forth equals even the seven heavens."

Notes:

• Dance of Haftkarsvar generates a total of 4-5 Particles each time.
• Nilou can enter both Sword Dance and Whirling Steps stances at the same time using Sacrificial Sword.
• Dance of Haftkarsvar cooldown starts on initial cast, but the infusion duration does not start until the 3rd slash.
• Tranquility Aura counts as a zero-damage hit.
  • Tranquility Aura's zero-damage hit is not counted as Skill DMG, therefore it cannot trigger the 4pc Tenacity of the Millelith effect.
• While under the Pirouette or Lunar Prayer effects, Nilou's Normal Attack combo will not be reset.
• All 3 Sword Dance hits can be canceled very early. Well-timed dash cancels does not cause her to lose infusion slashes, thus making her an extremely mobile on-fielder.
• Luminous Illusion is considered a ranged attack.
• E N2 Q N1 allows Particle pre-funneling.
• Sword Dance and Luminous Illusion can't trigger Beidou's Burst but can trigger Xingqiu's Burst.

Burst

Dance of Abzendegi: 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."

Ascension Passives

Passive

White Jade Lotus

When Perfect Cooking is achieved on Food with Adventure-related effects, there is a 12% chance to obtain double the product.

Ascension 1

Court of Dancing Petals

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.
