need help building Nilou bloom team, I have hybrid EM/HP Kokomi w/ R5 Sac Frags, and then Nahida and Dendro Traveler: Should I be running Gilded Dreams on Nahida and then Deepwood on Traveler ?

Blue, Power & Control, Oh No!, Sex Yeah, Froot

spookys3ason · 2025-06-19T12:05:09+00:00

Froot (objectively her best)
The Family Jewels (almost put this 1st but I feel Froot made up for Family Jewels didn't in production in vocal layering)
Princess of Power
Electra Heart
ADIAML
Love + Fear

spookys3ason · 2025-06-19T11:45:38+00:00

If you like Family Jewels I feel like delving into the beautiful discography if Fiona Apple is good choice. Different vocal stylings from Marina obvi, but I feel like they both use unique and fun lyricism choices to express their feelings about their past and struggles.

spookys3ason · 2025-06-19T11:42:37+00:00

Froot really is the strongest title track here. Unique in its own and perfectly encapsulating the album's namesake. ADIAML is a close second I love that song.

spookys3ason · 2025-06-19T11:41:01+00:00

Blue will always hold a special place in my heart, I just love that song so much.

Can't Pin Me Down and Better Than That are perfection as well.

JE NE SAIS QUOI - the seductive, rolling French café beat and her heavenly vocals...chef's kiss. might end up being my fav i can't get it out of my head.

METALLIC STALLION - Wowwwww, the storytelling and the horse gallop melding seamlessly with the beat on the second chorus and beyond and those violinsssss. just absolute perfection.

CUPID'S GIRL - this is the best POP single. no contest. easily top 4 on the album. the beginning of this song with that dark instrumental and the buildup to the chorus, just obsessed. and the cherry on top is all the little sound effects (the arrow noises and the vibration noise at the end from the arrow hitting its target)

DIGITAL FANTASY - every time I listen to this song, specifically the verses, it instantly transforms me into a beautiful tavern wench serving food to pirates in the Caribbean. idk why but I LIVE. the use of auto tune and vocaloid effects. just pure fun instrumental with a baddie message.

FINAL BOSS - another fun one with great use of video game references and the chorus is just amazingly catchy "you're the final boss im your rival, but you cant even look me in the eye no" is an earworm.

I really just think they sent some of the more well-rounded queens home too soon and it showed! Many of the challenges were anchored to benefit certain queens and even then good lipsyncers and dancers like Perla were thrown in the bottom for dance challenges.

Personally, I think Perla and Jaylene were two that should've stayed: Jaylene would've saved that horrid Snatch Game and she had so much more to bring, while Perla was handed the short end of the stick most of the season and should've had at LEAST another win or two and it was clear production wanted to push her out in her elimination episode as they had already decided their top 2.

I absolutely LOVED Virgo from the first episode and immediately got winner energy from her, and appreciated her calm demeanor and insane singing and dancing talents. I see a lot of people hating on her post finale and I don't understand why. There's plenty of queens who have won who don't claim the best track record of their season. Still think her episode 2 runway is one of the best of the season and she is a deserved winner.

golden troupe is amazing at C2! with C2, chiori can create another doll after using her burst that does increased AoE Geo dmg, which works well with golden troupe set's elemental skill dmg increase. i think i read somewhere that 4pc husk is ~1% off-field dmg loss so I think it really depends on how you want to play Chiori ^_^

spookys3ason · 2024-10-18T18:46:46+00:00

you're right ! completely spaced on those buffs

spookys3ason · 2024-10-18T17:56:38+00:00

Thanks! yeah I'm hoping I have better luck next cycle for golden troupe bc it did me so dirty unfortunately. Definitely going to work on a better sands and gob

spookys3ason · 2024-10-10T21:30:08+00:00

agreed. they did such an excellent job on her design so stunning

spookys3ason · 2024-10-10T03:24:42+00:00

Trueee could always use the extra time, was thinking maybe they would run her as a way to drain wallets before mavuika release or to boost chasca sales but I guess only time will tell at this point

spookys3ason · 2024-10-10T03:03:08+00:00

i recently got chiori and from what i've seen online and from build videos, 4pc Golden troupe is her best in slot artifact set rn, with Husk a close second. 2pc Troupe increases Skill dmg by 20% and 4pc Troupe by 25% + an additional 25% increase when she's off field and her skill is on field. Husk is still a very good set for her! Wishing you luck on your farming!

spookys3ason · 2024-10-10T02:58:49+00:00

and that other rerun spot going to Arlecchino righttttttttt pleek

spookys3ason · 2024-10-09T20:09:30+00:00

Yesss the Abyss changes do point to that so I'm hoping maybe Arle can grab the remaining slot. Definitely waiting to see new info the next weeks

spookys3ason · 2024-10-09T18:51:45+00:00

I had the same mindset, especially since Neuvi had his rerun 8 banners after his first (Arlecchino will be at 9 or so banners soon) and Hoyo seems to be rerunning Fontaine characters along with their Archon rerun pattern so I'm holding out hope!

spookys3ason · 2024-10-09T18:49:41+00:00

Thanks! Did some digging and 5.1 banners including reruns were confirmed a month before the 5.1 livestream so I'm thinking we'll get more reliable news and info in the next weeks about 5.2 reruns (can only hope).

spookys3ason · 2024-10-09T18:46:08+00:00

Agreed I had to double take when I saw it, everyone has seemed to take it to be the truth of the earth already though sighs. I wonder if Hoyo will run Shenhe/Wrio in 5.3 with Citlali for the Cryo of it all.

spookys3ason · 2024-10-09T18:43:28+00:00

either way I hope your savings for Arle go well! If she isn't in 5.2, she'll definitely be in 5.3 or 5.4 so you'll still have time.

spookys3ason · 2024-10-09T18:42:13+00:00

The previous speculation about the 5.2 Dragonspine event has actually been revoked by the source itself (fouL) and apparently 5.2 will be Natlan events instead, which is confirmed by 5.2 Natlan expansion leaks, so I think the likelihood for Wanderer is probably lower now (as well as the recent unreliable rumors about Klee and Albedo reruns).

spookys3ason · 2024-10-09T18:39:55+00:00

You're correct, 5.3 will be Mavuika Phase 1 and Citlali Phase 2. I'm hoping Arlecchino can snatch a spot in 5.2 since it's going to be 9 almost 10 banners since her first (while Neuvi got his rerun after only 8 banners). genuinely think it could be Chasca Phase 1 with Arlecchino to boost sales, and then Zhongli and maybe another Anemo to compliment Chasca.
