Nicole Demara Skill Priority
| Skill | Priority | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
 core skill | Nicole's Core Skill enhances the DEF reduction debuff that her abilities inflict. Upgrading this skill together with her Special Attack is recommended. | |
 special attack | Nicole's Special Attack is her primary source of damage. Upgrading this skill first will increase the DMG and Daze of all her Special Attack variations. | |
 assist | Upgrading Nicole's Assist is not a bad idea, but it has a lower priority compared to her Special Attack and Core Skill. You can upgrade it later. | |
 chain attack | While you won't use Nicole's Ultimate often, you will use her Chain Attack frequently. Upgrading this skill is recommended, but it has a lower priority compared to her Special Attack and Core Skill. | |
 basic attack | As a Support unit, Nicole's Basic Attack is not a priority. You can upgrade it later, but it's not essential for her role. | |
 dodge | Nicole barely uses her Dodge in combat, so it's a low-priority upgrade. You can focus on other skills first. |
