Sustain
Since the release of Nod-Krai, Lauma has been a huge increase to Nilou team DPS. With Lauma + Nilou teams performing significantly better than other options.
Lauma serves as the primary Bloom trigger or driver in this Nilou team, utilizing Electro to occasionally trigger Hyperblooms if needed, or simply benefiting from the Bountiful Cores. Her unique kit interacts with the Hydro/Dendro environment to sustain high DPS.
Nilou is the core of this team, transforming standard Bloom cores into explosive Bountiful Cores with her passive. Her high HP pool also provides a minor Hydro application that fuels the reaction cycle.
Nahida provides the essential, consistent Dendro application required to produce a high volume of Bloom cores. Her EM buff is also vital for maximizing the damage of the cores triggered by the Hydro units.
Kokomi provides necessary healing to offset the self-damage from Bountiful Cores while contributing off-field Hydro application. Her presence ensures the team can survive the rapid explosions inherent to Nilou's Bloom teams.
