Nilou vs Furina
Bloom specialization vs. universal damage buffing
TL;DR — Quick Pick
Pick Nilou if…
- When running a dedicated Bloom team with Nahida
- When facing large groups of enemies that don't move much
- When you want a high-damage floor with low crit investment
Pick Furina if…
- When you need a universal damage buffer for any team
- When you want consistent off-field Hydro damage
- When your team includes a strong teamwide healer
Furina is a far more versatile and powerful unit for the average account, providing massive buffs to almost anyone. Nilou is the undisputed queen of Bloom, but her restrictive team-building makes her a niche pick compared to Furina.

Shared Team Members
With Nilou
Baizhu is a top-tier healer for Nilou Bloom teams, providing the teamwide sustain needed to survive Bountiful Core explosions. His shield also provides brief interruption resistance, and his Burst offers consistent off-field Dendro application.
With Furina
Baizhu's teamwide healing on his Skill is perfect for instantly generating Fanfare stacks for Furina. His Burst also provides sustained healing and shields that keep the team healthy while Furina's summons drain their HP.
With Nilou
Nahida is the cornerstone of Nilou's teams, providing the heavy Dendro application required to generate a constant stream of Bountiful Cores. Her EM buff from the Shrine of Maya significantly increases the explosion damage of those cores.
With Furina
Nahida's massive EM buff and off-field Tri-Karma damage synergize perfectly with Furina's universal DMG bonus. Together, they form a powerful core for Hyperbloom or Quicken teams where Furina provides the Hydro needed for core generation.
