Genshin Impact Nilou banner preparation guide: Ascension materials, Pity, and more

sportskeeda.com:

Genshin Impact leaks have placed Nilou in the latter half of the 3.1 update, which means that players will have plenty of time to prepare for her banner's arrival. Fans should make the most of this time by gathering Nilou's ascension materials early. This will allow them to begin using her as fast as possible. Getting her to level 90 will be important, given that she scales off of Max HP.

Fans can find a list of her ascension materials here, along with more information about her banner's release.

Farming for Genshin Impact's upcoming 5-star Hydro character Nilou won't be too difficult now that players have access to Sumeru. Fans will want to begin gathering the materials she needs to reach level 90 now, though they won't be able to collect all of them due to her requiring parts from a boss coming in the 3.1 update.

Gamers who plan on summoning Nilou will need plenty of other materials though, so farming early will help a lot. Here's what she'll need to reach level 90 in Genshin Impact:

To reach level 90, Nilou will need quite a few of these Hydro-infused gemstones. They can be gathered from most Hydro related bosses, with the easiest to farm being the Oceanid in Liyue and the Hydro Hypostasis in Inazuma. She'll need this many gems to reach max rank:

Nilou will require items from the new Ruin boss, the fearsome Aeonblight Drake. This foe will utilize incredibly damaging attacks while maintaining the strong resistances that most Ruin enemies have. Unfortunately, this boss is not available yet and will likely only arrive when the 3.1 update drops. Players will be able to find this boss in Sumeru, and they'll want to start farming its materials once the update releases.

Nilou will require a regional specialty flower from Sumeru
