character_name Best Teams and Bangboo
Nicole F2P Early Game Team
This is a solid team in the early game since all the characters above are free and they can activate all Additional Abilities. Billy will be the team's main damage dealer, Anby stuns enemies, and Nicole supports the team by reducing enemy DEF and grouping them up. Avocaboo is a solid Bangboo to use in the early game since it can heal the team.
Nicole Ether Team
With the release of Zhu Yuan, Nicole can be one of her best supports since she can help decrease enemy DEF and trigger Corrupted. As for the team's third member, it's important to use a Stun unit like Qingyi since Zhu Yuan deals more damage on stunned enemies.
character_name Skill Priority
| Skill | Priority | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
 core skill | Increases the DEF reduction debuff from Nicole's abilities. Upgrade alongside her Special Attack for maximum debuff effectiveness. | |
 special attack | Increases damage and daze of all Special Attack variations. This is her main source of debuff application and should be maxed first. | |
 assist | No harm in raising, but drop in priority compared to Special Attack and Core Skill. Useful for survivability and utility. | |
 chain attack | You'll use her Chain Attack often, but her Ultimate is rarely used. Still a solid upgrade, though lower priority than Special Attack and Core Skill. | |
 basic attack | As a Support unit, Nicole's basic attack damage and daze are not a priority. Only upgrade when other key skills are maxed. | |
 dodge | Barely used in combat. Low priority upgrade since it doesn't contribute significantly to her support role. |
