Nicole's Strength
Supporter that can Gather Enemies and Apply DEF Debuffs
Nicole can generate an Energy Field to gather enemies and also apply DEF debuffs. Her Energy Field remains effective for a while after switching characters so you can prevent enemies from being pushed back and also extend her DEF debuff.
▲ Check ammunition at the top of the screen
DEF Debuff can be activated frequently
Nicole's DEF debuff is activated with her Energy Field and also when she consumes her ammunition when using the Basic and Dash attacks. Most of her attacks will replenish her ammunition automatically so you can easily apply the debuff even if you are out of Energy.
Additional Ability Increases Ether DMG
Nicole doesn't just have versatile Support skills but also her Additional Ability that increases Ether DMG in addition to the DEF debuff she applies to enemies. This helps both Ether Attribute Attackers and her own attacks.
Nicole's Weakness
EX Special ATK costs lots of Energy
Nicole's EX Special ATK costs 60 points of Energy (80 when charged). Her normal Special ATK can't extend the debuff duration or activate Quick Assist so it will be hard to deploy the Energy Field to pull enemies frequently.
Currently there are no Ether Attackers
Nicole can demonstrate even higher support performance for Ether attackers, but currently Nicole is the only Ether Character. Currently there are no squads that can utilize her best performance.
| Tips! | It's been announced that Zhu Yuan, who will be released soon, will be an Ether Attack character so there are hopes for a strong Ether team once she's released. |

Nicole - Strategy and Combo
Place the Attacker in the Next Slot
Nicole leaves an energy field and debuff on the combat field for the next Attacker. The next character is determined by the order of characters in the team, so be sure to place the Attacker on her right (first slot when Nicole is placed in the third character slot)
Leave a Energy Field and Connect to the Attacker
Nicole leaves a energy field (and debuff) with a pulling effect with EX Special Attack or Signature Move Skills, which you can connect to the next Attacker with Quick Support. If you don't have enough energy, you can use attacks like Basic Attack to accumulate it, but try to switch as fast as possible.
Nicole - Best Team Comp
Zhu Yuan & Qingyi Squad
Ether Attribute Team
The first squad is the Zhu Yuan team with Qingyi and Nicole for Support. Easy to inflict Ether attribute damage, so useful in areas with enemies with Ether weaknesses.
Deal High DMG Against Stunned Enemies
Zhu Yuan has the ability to significantly increase damage against Stunned enemies so when you use Qingyi who can swiftly inflict Daze and increase the Stun DMG Multiplier, you will be able to deal very high damage.
By also using Nicole's Defense debuff & Ether damage buff, you will be able deal even higher burst damage.
Nekomata Pulling Team
Deal Damage with Nekomata
Gather enemies with Nicole and apply
Activate Nekomata's Quick Assist
Nekomata's Quick Assist is really strong so it's important to use Nicole to gather the enemies then use Quick Assist to switch to Nekomata. You can also enhance Nekomata's Catwalk by using Piper to apply Assault to the enemies, so remember to do that as well.
[Low-cost Gacha] Anton Burst Team
| Bangboo | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Anton | Anby | Nicole | Electroboo |
Makes Use of Energy Field
Gather enemies using Nicole and deal damage using Anton's Burst mode. Anton can deal high damage but is going to be weak against enemy attacks, so Nicole can cover for that in this team.
Anton Needs to Accumulate Energy
The basic strategy is to Stun the enemy with Anby, gather enemies with Nicole, then defeat them with Anton. Keep in mind that Anton is going to need Energy to activate his EX Special Attack in order to deal high damage.
