Nicole functions as a Pyro-focused main DPS that triggers elemental reactions through off-field support. Pairing her with off-field Hydro or Cryo applicators (such as Xingqiu or Fischl for vaporize/overload setups) maximizes her damage output. Build her with Catalyst weapons that favor ATK and Elemental Damage, paired with artifacts emphasizing Pyro Damage Bonus and Critical stats.
