Review

Nicole has pretty great self buffs but is a niche unit that's like a love child of Han Sorim and Rivet. She counters non-awakened defenders by permanently slowing, sealing, and knocking them back and also dealing increased damage against them. Against a lot of frontlines, she will always use her enhanced attack and knock them through immunities.

Her special deals HP% damage to non-bosses regardless of type (despite what her special description says), which can be useful against PVE enemies with large HP. This is most easily seen in Dive 48 and Dive 50, where she basically kills Rojo, a Defender with tons of HP, with two specials singlehandedly.

As for PVP, she doesn't quite deal enough damage to be viable - there are better damage dealers and her debuffs are not impactful enough to truly matter even against non-awakened defenders. Additionally Nicole being a single unit soldier makes her bad option for Revenant soldier comps

Pros & Cons
Pros

- deals Fixed Damage that scales off enemy max HP,

- great ASPD and ATK selfbuffs,

- pretty tanky for a 3 cost Ranger,

- can permanently seal and slow non-awakened tanks

Cons

- not that good in the current PVP meta
