character_name Skill Priority
| Skill | Priority | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
 dodge | Barely used by Nicole in combat, so her Dodge is a low-priority upgrade. | |
 basic attack | You do not need to immediately increase the DMG and Daze of Nicole's Basic Attack since she is a Support unit. So, this is a low-priority upgrade. | |
 chain attack | While you won't use Nicole's Ultimate, you will often use her Chain Attack. | |
 assist | There is no harm in raising Nicole's Assist. But, upgrading it has a lower priority compared to her Special Attack and Core Skill. | |
 core skill | Nicole's Core Skill enhances the DEF reduction debuff that her abilities inflict. This should be upgraded together with Nicole's Special Attack. | |
 special attack | Upgrade Nicole's Special Attack first since it increases the DMG and Daze of all of her Special Attack's variations. |
