The answer to whether you should get Nilou or Nahida depends on your playstyle and team composition, as Nilou is a DPS character who excels in teams with Dendro and Hydro elements, while Nahida is a more versatile character who can fit into various teams and provide Dendro applications. If you’re looking to build a team around Bloom reactions and have a healer and Dendro or Hydro units, Nilou might be the better choice, but if you prefer a more flexible character who can deal AoE Dendro DMG and trigger elemental reactions, Nahida is the way to go.
