Nilou, the long-awaited five-star Hydro character from Genshin Impact, will be released in the 3.1 Genshin Impact Update this month, and she has quickly become a fan favorite for cosplay. Each character in HoYoverses’s RPG, Genshin Impact, has unique weapons, powers, and combat style, and they use a wide variety of reactive components in their fights. Even if two characters have similar capabilities, they each have their unique design and story, making it hard to pick a favorite.
The stunning Dendro region of Sumeru, along with new characters Dori, Collie, and the wildly popular five-star Tighnari, were included in the major 3.0 update to Genshin Impact. However, as highly hyped characters are typically more difficult to pluck from banners, some Genshin Impact characters are also more famous outside the game in fan art, cosplays, and other fan-made stuff. For example, Nilou, the forthcoming Genshin five-star, has grown viral weeks to months before her 3.1 release.
Since the September 28 release date for Genshin Impact 3.1, Nilou cosplays have been all over the internet. The excellent cosplayer Erodaicon recently showed off her stunning Nilou cosplay, a sight to behold. Erodaicon carefully considered every aspect of the Hydro character’s appearance, from the enticing sword she wields to her fiery red hair and elaborate headdress and attire
. Nilou’s design stands out thanks to the contrast between the blues and golds of her clothes and her fiery red hair. It would make sense for Sumeru, which draws inspiration from North African and South Asian traditions, for her to be based on the Iranian deity of water, Anahita.
Nilou from Erodaicon is a prime example of the high quality of Genshin Impact cosplay, which is generally praised for the attention to detail in the character designs. Most cosplayers dress like playable characters (especially those with five stars), but quest Genshin characters like Liyue’s apothecary Baizhu are also familiar. Many people are eagerly awaiting the release of Nilou after getting a taste of her endearing nature and learning more about her impressive Support abilities.
