Genshin Impact 3.1 Beta Leak Reveals Nilou Gameplay

gamerant.com:

Genshin Impact's storyline has officially arrived in the mysterious land of Sumeru, which means that there will be tons of new content for players to play through in the next couple of months. Even though update 3.0 has just arrived, recent leaks have revealed more information about the next update.

One of the most popular Genshin Impact leakers, Ubatcha1, has finally revealed the gameplay animations for one of the upcoming characters, the star of the Zubayr Theater, Nilou. She is one of the three characters that were revealed in Genshin Impact's recent social media announcements.

Even though developer HoYoverse didn't mention anything about her release date, Nilou is expected to arrive in Genshin Impact Version 3.1. Nilou's elemental skill allows her to enter the Pirouette state which will cause all of her attacks to be converted to Hydro damage. According to previous leaks, this skill seems to have a very long cooldown which is a good indicator that she could be a decent sub-DPS or support character.

Rumors have also been hinting that in order to fulfill Nilou's damage potential, players need her to surround her with Dendro and Hydro characters which might be one of the reasons why she wasn't released in the first Sumeru update. The same leaker has previously confirmed that Nilou's team composition should be focused around a new elemental reaction named Bloom, which is triggered when Hydro and Dendro are combined.

Nilou's Elemental Burst apparently deals AoE Hydro damage around her model which could be useful if she's surrounded by a large group of enemies. The damage will scale with her max. HP, and it will have a bonus effect after the explosion, similar to Mona's
