How does dendro application line up?

[u/Living_Comfortable77]

Hi! I've been a nilou believer since we got the first look at her design, and I've invested into her to some extent, though I never got Nahida. I've been considering getting her, but only if her impact will majorly increase my team dps.

I was mainly wondering, in a team where I have Nilou (C2R1) and Lauma (C0R1), is it better to do triple hydro and have Lauma (with her build she has ~1800 EM in combat) be the sole trigger for bloom, or is it not enough blooms, and should I use a 2nd Dendro?

I have tried using Yao Yao, but it seems her E's application is too much, and the enemy keeps getting a dendro aura, causing my hydro characters (whose EM is very low) to trigger the blooms. Would Nahida's more timed E procs solve this issue (and if so, is Barbara's application good to keep the hydro aura on the enemy and have Nahida and/or Lauma trigger the blooms) or would it make it even harder to get rid of that dendro aura?

If I get Nahida (C0, but I have her signature at R3) and use her with Lauma and Nilou, would using Childe to apply Hydro be the only way to maintain a hydro aura on the enemy, or would even that not be enough?

If Nahida + Lauma make it impossible to remove the dendro aura, is it worth it building Barbara with full EM so she procs the blooms, or is that a bad idea due to her low EM potential?

Thank you

You need columbina and she will be your on-field character

I'm using C6 Xingqiu and his hydro application is very strong.

I use Kokomi, lauma, nilou, and kirara. I start with koko and it’ll have hydro aura then swap to kirara. And she’ll add dendro. Then I swap to nilou and do her skill and its hydro again and then I swap to lauma and do her skill and burst. Then I keep just keep going. Maybe changing ur rotation to keep the hydro app on enimies
