This always triggers me so bad.
You can read the stuff I've been posting back and forth with

to get the basis of my theory for now at least. Well Japan seems to like her. They're already doing speedrun fanarts.
I'm not talking about stuff inside Irminsul as that part is definitely more "computer virus" like. Moreso, I mean in the actual world, they stated in Kusanali's quest that Rukkha put up that wall to prevent the sludge/desertification from spreading into the eastern part of Sumeru. This ties in to what the Goddess of Flowers and the Djinni were up to. As far as erasing herself and the "forbidden knowledge" I think it's more of a force inside Irminsul than it is in the natural world outside. I think just by being included in Irminsul, it opens up that knowledge for others to read/use/etc. So to prevent another Western Sumeru type incident, Rukkha did her erasure stuff.

The dude in Tighnari's quest was using Leyline energy, which I consider to be a "native" Teyvat power, which ties into my theory. I look at Irminsul as a supercomputer and the leylines as USB ports. USB ports can power devices, so when they use that "power" infused into machines, that's when the madness starts, and it ties into forbidden knowledge. But that's why I keep mentioning Teyvat power, because I think Leyline energy is one type, elemental energy another, etc.
Anyways, that's my take after reading all the lore bits in the Oasis questline.
Forget about those. They don't exist.
The twist is the actual quest though. That's the storyline they spend the most time conveying. The rest is just lore dumping, and it's presented in the driest, most uninteresting way possible. And despite doing my best to read quite a bit of the in-game texts, I'm just not interested in how King Abubu overthrew Bludabedeedabeda 2000 years ago.
The King and his people and all that garbage was secondary lore though, the important part was that Liloupar fell in love with a random mortal, turned him into a king, and he betrayed her. Then she took revenge on her own family (in this case a line of family) until the desert was nothing but a shit hole like you see today. So basically the whole part of the quest with her was to talk to her goddess of flowers, only to find out that she was long dead, she killed her "sister" Djinni which could be seen as a mercy killing since she was alone in the middle of a sandstorm protecting nothing. Then you help Liloupar get all of her memories back and she realizes she needs to go try to fix (something) and leaves the bottle with you. The Goddess of Flowers did her best to help the people of the desert, but she could only do so much and the humans basically turned on each other and ended up being super shitty so she sludged up the pipes (either on accident because nobody was helping her anymore or on purpose) which hurried along their ruin, then she died alone after retreating her oasis.
Pejo
And how was this lore told? Literal white text on black. No cutscenes, no animations, no nothing. They still haven't figured out "Show, don't tell." The bit with the oasis in stasis was cool, but it would have been more impactful if they made the player actively care about this. They failed to do this for me.
Yea I don't disagree with you. It's almost like they want to hide the lore for anyone that refuses to read (very dry and confusing) text and item descriptions and shit. I find the lore interesting enough to grind forward on it, but I totally understand how most people wouldn't. The worldbuilding and lore is one of the last things that I think they do exceptionally well in this game, it'd be nice if they improved on the delivery.
Probably depends on how you want to play. Do you want Nilou to be the driver or someone else? In many cases it can be beneficial to (try to) trigger the blooms with a different character that's built with EM to maximize damage. Could be Kokomi, or even Yaoyao with hydro infusion from Candace. In that case Nilou's own ability isn't that important for hydro application.
Her weapon does seem nice, but idk, so far it's only good for her. I only like rolling signature weapons for characters I really like or that are universally good (like Homa). I was thinking of trying Nilou/Kirara/Kusanali with Candace as the driver. But that won't be for a patch later.
Bountiful Core blooms. Think Burgeon but with just Dendro + Hydro and stronger. Look up some Nahida/Nilou teams on youtube.
Nilou + Kokomi are actually good together. The strength she brings is for AoE teams with fast application of both Dendro and Hydro.
Fake
mentioned. If you use any other element on the team, it's just a regular core. For most teams, Nilou is a worse option than a lot of other Hydro characters, including Kokomi. If you are gonna roll her, it should be either A) because you like her a lot, or B) you want to try out that special Hydro/Dendro team that only she can enable.
Uh....
So she's like Yaoyao? The cat behind you gets a shield but you don't? I'm gonna chalk this up to a bad translation. Cool if she heals/shields though, I can fit that in a lot of teams.

Btw, do they also damage you?
I fucking hate dendro cores
I hate dendro cores as much as burning grass, tbh.
Yaoyao is great in a Kokomi team too. The damage isn't THAT high that the player takes, but it does add up after a while.
Well i took it that you'd want him to be the Dendro driver since he can infuse Dendro to his weapon. The skill is just for occasional splash damage.
Nah, I'll get my Cookie in Nahida's banner.
My guess on what will open up with the new update.
I was right!
Good skill, sounds fun to play, good design. What's going on here? Is this just a late MHY April Fool's joke?This came out on reddit not long ago. She's looking a lot more interesting than we initially thought for a 4 star.
