Recreates a fleeting glimpse of an age long past, when the angels acted on the authority of the heavens, bestowing the Grace of Kenosis effect on nearby party members. This increases their ATK and deals AoE Pyro DMG, as well as creates a Shield of Blazing Light.
The Shield of Blazing Light’s DMG Absorption is based on Nicole’s ATK, and it will absorb Pyro DMG at 250% effectiveness.

As Nicole weaves the path of anchored fate with golden threads of light, she deals AoE Pyro DMG and switches to Silent Contemplation mode.
In this mode, when nearby active party members hit an opponent, an Arcane Projection is summoned to perform a Coordinated Attack against the opponent, dealing AoE Elemental DMG of the character’s corresponding Elemental Type. This DMG scales based on the corresponding character’s ATK and will be considered as having been dealt by them.
This effect can occur once every 3s, and can be triggered up to 4 times each time Nicole switches to Silent Contemplation mode.

It is worth noting that Hexerei characters’ Arcane Projections appear to differ somehow in appearance from the others…

This DMG will be considered as having been dealt by the corresponding character.
This effect can trigger once every 6s.

 

“I Will Guide You and Show You the Path You Should Tread”

Nicole Constellation Level 2

Enhances the effects of the Elemental Skill Revelation: Uncreated Light: Grace of Kenosis increases ATK by an additional 300 (which does not count toward this effect’s ATK Bonus limit), while Guidance of Theosis decreases nearby opponents’ Elemental RES against the corresponding character’s Elemental Type by 25%. (Effect does not stack for the same element.)
Additionally, when Nicole unleashes her Elemental Skill Revelation: Uncreated Light, nearby active party members will also gain a Shield of Blazing Light.

The Normal Attack, Charged Attack, Plunging Attack, Elemental Skill, and Elemental Burst DMG of characters with Pathfinder’s Blessing is increased by 70% of Nicole’s ATK. This effect will be removed once it has taken effect 8 times or when its duration is over.
When multiple opponents are hit at the same time, the number of times Pathfinder’s Blessing takes effect is based on the number of enemies hit. Each character’s Pathfinder’s Blessing is counted independently.

Top & Best Nicole Team

Nicole Best Team

Nicole is a Support/Shield in the team. Nicole Support/Shield build is used.

Main DPS

Varka

After using his Elemental Skill, Varka enters a mixed damage mode, dealing damage through Normal Attacks, Charged Attacks, a special Elemental Skill, and special Charged Attacks. One weapon deals Anemo DMG, while the other converts into Pyro, Hydro, Electro, or Cryo based on his teammates’ elements. His Elemental Burst deals AoE Anemo and Swirl DMG, but due to its relatively low damage, it should be used generally.

Shield/Support

Prune

Prune is an Anemo ATK-based support for Hexerei main DPS teams, currently mainly used as a dedicated support for Varka. By using her Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst to trigger Swirl, she provides DMG bonuses, percentage ATK boosts, and flat ATK buffs to all teammates except herself.

Support

Durin

Durin gains either the “Confirmation of Purity” or “Denial of Darkness” state through his Elemental Skill, and his Elemental Burst will also take on different forms depending on which state he is in. The “Confirmation of Purity” state focuses on support utility, providing continuous Off-field Pyro DMG while causing nearby party members, when they trigger Burning, Overloaded, Pyro Swirl, or Pyro Crystallize on enemies, or deal Pyro DMG or Dendro DMG to enemies affected by Burning, to reduce those enemies’ Pyro RES and the RES of the corresponding element. The “Denial of Darkness” state focuses on Durin’s own damage output, providing higher-damage Off-field Pyro DMG and further increasing Durin’s reaction damage in Vaporize or Melt teams. Additionally, when Durin is teamed up with a Hexerei character, both of the above effects will be further strengthened.

Shield/Support

Nicole

Nicole is currently one of the best supports for Hexerei teams, combining shielding with teamwide attack buffs while synergizing perfectly with the new Celestial Gift artifact set. By using her Elemental Skill, Nicole grants a shield and increases the entire team’s ATK. Additionally, depending on whether the on-field character is a Hexerei character and how long they remain on the field, she can provide extra ATK buffs to the active character.
