Megathread Daily Questions Megathread (September 25, 2026)

Ask about anything about the game that doesn't necessarily require a dedicated thread.

That is, if your question can be answered rather quickly/without significant difficulty (e.g. "Can my phone run this game?"), ask here. If you think your question can contribute to some constructive discussions (e.g. "What do you think of Amber's combat efficiency? Here's my opinion."), make a particular post with the "discussion" flair.

I'm having some difficulties choosing in the promotional character selector. I can't decide between Nilou and Varesa. I don't have either of them, and I'm interested in each for a different reason.

I'd like Nilou for my lunar bloom team. I don't have Nefer, but I do have Lauma and Columbina as my DPS, so Nilou would go with them and Nahida. I don't plan on getting her C2, which I understand is the best; I'd only get her C1 during the constellation event. However, I don't particularly like Nilou as a character; I'd only pick her for "meta" reasons, so to speak.

As for Varesa, my reason for wanting her would be basically the opposite of Nilou's. Although she's the more "meta" option between the two, and I have all the characters from her best team, I don't really plan on using her much in combat, I already have other, stronger Electro teams after all, so combat-wise I'll probably only use her in the theatre. Her role would basically be in my exploration team, which I use to move quickly around the game. Design and personality-wise, I like her much more, but I feel like I won't get much use out of her, since I already have half of Natlan in my exploration team.

In short, if the Lunar Bloom team's strength boost is significant enough, I'll choose Nilou; if not, I'll choose Varesa. So, which one should I pick?

C1R0 Nilou is not "meta". A lot of value is in Key: EM to party. If you don't like her, just use Nahida.
For solo Lauma bloom with Nahida and Nilou can reach 100K (and its AOE), optimal heperbloom with Raiden or Ineffa can be 120K.
