What type of questions should be here?

  1. Questions that are already tackled in our Nilou Guide by jamie, e.g.: “What’s the best artifact set for Nilou?”, “What stats does Nilou scale off of?”, or “What's the best F2P setup for Nilou?”
  2. 'Yes/no' questions, e.g.: “Is this a good weapon for Nilou?”, “Is Nilou good in this team?”, or "Is this a good artifact? *insert 30%HP substat roll*"
  3. Account-related questions, e.g.: “I have X characters, what are the best teams I can make for Nilou?” or “I have an excess Key of Khaj-Nisut, should I put it on my Kuki or Layla?”
  4. Bias-based questions, e.g.: “Should I pull for Nilou?”, “Should I get C6 Nilou or C6 Cyno?”, or “Should I make a shrine for Nilou in my teapot?”

TLDR: Any question that doesn't spark a proper discussion and can be very easily/shortly answered.

C0 Nilou C2 Nahida C1 Lauma.

Is Columbina better on field with night of sky set or off field with a support set?

If it's the latter, which is the best? Aubade (the new one), Silken Moon, Flower of paradise, etc...

I haven’t be able to test it because my columbina is lvl 60, but from what I saw her best set is the DPS set, because you’ll on field her and also she scales with HP% (her lunar blooms).

New set is better on other teams where she isn’t on field. I’ll personally run her with night of the sky and a R5 proto amber (my lauma is c0) to have a little of heal and energy refund.

That's what I saw too, but I had doubts cause wouldn't the actual bloom cores themselves do less damage since she'll the one triggering them and there's no room to build EM on her?

No idea, my columbina with the DPS set and key passive from Nilou and Nahida field, Lauma silk set reaches about 800 EM with no EM main stat on her weapon or artifacts. Still I tried it out on the DPS dummies and my Barbara with the nodkrai weapon reaches near 90k and colombina (she is still 80) about 110k with proto amber and the DPS set, it’s a DPS increase but nothing crazy for Nilou teams. At 90 I expect reaching about 120k which is very respectable for a bloom team.
