Nicole's Basic Skills

Nicole Demara acts as a who controls opponents, pulling them in for subsequent attacks from a damage dealer or sub-DD, and also performing standard buffer tasks: lowering the defense of enemies, restoring the energy of partners. The key skills in the girl’s rotation are:

• Counterattack after dodging Barrage: Nicole jumps back, striking in front of her at a great distance, dealing ethereal damage.
• Help with protection “The Hare Strikes Back!”: When the active hero is about to be attacked, press change character, the hero parries the opponents' attacks, accumulating a lot of stun points from them.
• Enhanced Special Attack Stuffed Sugar Bullet: Nicole unleashes a powerful long-range strike, creating a field that pulls enemies towards the center and deals ethereal damage. By holding down the enhanced special attack button, you can charge the attack.
• Superpower Aether Grenade: Demara fires at enemies, creating an ethereal field that pulls them towards the center and deals damage. When the skill is launched, the remaining team are restored 10 units of energy, and the next hero entering the field receives an additional 20 units. energy.
• Primary ive Skill Mechanical Suitcase: By using a normal or enhanced special attack, chain of attacks or ultimate, Nicole strengthens her basic attack and dash attack. If an empowered projectile or field damages an enemy, their defense is reduced for 3,5 seconds.

With the first constancy of the mechanics open, the girls allow you to extend the energy field of the “Sugar Bullet with Filling” by quickly rotating the character around its axis at the moment of charging a special attack. To use the function, you must move the joystick wheel in a circle or press the WASD movement keys on the keyboard.

The order of leveling skills

Special Attack > Attributes > Assist > Super = Chain Attack > Evade > Basic Attack

Nicole is away from the battlefield almost the entire time of the battle. She enters the battle in two cases: when rotation allows it through assist and/or evasion, or when it is necessary to use an enhanced special attack. The procedure for leveling up Nicole Demara's skills is as follows:

1. Special Attack increases the damage of the heroine and the entire squad, and also increases the stun of enemies, further tightening them so that the DD who enters the battlefield can attack several targets at once.
2. Makings necessary for the chapter of the “Cunning Hares” to increase the overall damage of the squad. By upgrading them, you can strengthen the debuff that reduces the defense of opponents. It is almost as important as a special attack.
3. Help Nicole will allow the next hero in the team to get out of the pocket, and also quickly and harmoniously activate a field that pulls enemies together or stuns them. Quite a useful skill that is upgraded after the Makings or EX ability.
4. Superpower is not the most useful and rational skill, since Demara is almost never used in battle. However, using an ult against a crowd of enemies will allow you to quickly pull them to one point, as well as increase the level of stun.
5. Nicole is practically not present on the battlefield when compared with other allies in the squad, which is why Evasion stands at the very end.
6. The girl is a , so pump up basic attack needed last. She doesn't need to deal damage, and besides, she does it extremely poorly.

Best builds for Nicole in Zenless Zone Zero

Nicole Demara acts in the squad as a hero, who must strengthen the group while being in reserve at this time. During the appropriate “windows” during the battle, the girl enters the field and uses skills to the debuff and make it easier for the damage dealer to deal damage. Thanks to his inclinations, the agent is able to reduce the defense of opponents, and through his skills he can inflict damage and increase the stun status.

To put together a strong Nicole build, you need to understand the character's main tasks and responsibilities, her rotation, and her squad and equipment requirements. While the team is fighting, you need to correctly alternate it with other heroes mainly, being the last one in the chain of attacks in order to immediately trigger the main DD. The peak of Demara's strength is achieved in a harmonious group, but the equipment that increases the hero's stats is of greatest importance. When putting various equipment on Nicole, you should pay attention to:

• Energy recovery — an extremely important stat for the heroine, whose effectiveness in the position depends on an enhanced special attack.
• Knowledge of the Anomaly — increases damage coming from attribute anomalies.
• Aether Damage - Nicole’s main type of damage, which is also important to level up.
• Anomaly control — affects the efficiency of anomaly accumulation. Each point is equivalent to 1% damage from the attribute anomaly.

Best Drive Discs [artifacts]

When selecting artifacts for Nicole, you should focus on increasing the same characteristics as when choosing a weapon. The most important indicators for Demara are:

• energy recovery;
• knowledge/control of anomaly;
• ethereal damage;
• chance of penetration.

Disk sets should both provide increased efficiency and provide various bonuses to the entire squad. Drive disks are installed in 6 slots next to the amplifier, however, buffs begin to work if there are 2 or 4 items from one set, which is why, as a general rule, artifacts are built through two sets of each rule 4+2. Next, we’ll look at the best sets for Nicole Demara:

In the special guide you can find out more about drive discs in ZZZ and which sets are suitable for whom.

Units for Nicole in ZZZ

Nicole in Zenles Zon Zero acts as a standard ; she leaves the bench extremely rarely: to activate a debuff on enemies, or to use a skill that creates a field to tighten opponents. The girl is well suited for starting squads, for teams with “Cunning Hares”, or as a for Zhu Yuan. Paying attention to its advantages and disadvantages, you can place the agent in various groups, but it is definitely not worth forming the entire bunch around it.

The built-in enhancements of all agents, including Nicole Demara, are activated if there are heroes in the squad with the same attribute or from the same faction. In the case of the leader of the “hares,” you need agents with ethereal damage, or from her faction. However, when choosing partners for the heroine, it is necessary to take into the fact that the additional ability is aimed at increasing ethereal damage, so it can freely ignored for screeds and debuffs. The best units for Nicole are as follows:

You can see it in a separate guide examples of the best teams in ZZZ.

How to Increase Nicole's Confidence

Once you have an agent in your collection, you can increase it trust levelto get backgrounds and other rewards. To do this, you need to communicate with Nicole at locations, make appointments with her and complete missions to level up. In conversations with a girl, it is important to choose the right answer options in order to gain “experience” in the relationship.

The table below provides all of Nicole Demara's trust events:

In addition to the dialogues that occur during random meetings at locations, you can invite a girl for a walk by writing her a message. The correct answers in Nicole's invitation events are provided in the table:

In events that increase the level of trust, any answer options are suitable; regardless of the choice, the relationship will move to the next stage.

Conclusion on the character

Nicole Demara is a good that performs all the basic functions of a hero: she lowers the defense of enemies, increases the energy of allies and pulls opponents, allowing the damage dealer to calmly deal damage to the crowd. The agent will be fine in the early stages, but later on it can be difficult to place it somewhere while maintaining good synergy. With Zhu Yuan, the girl gains a second wind and becomes an ideal agent for pairing with this strong DD.

The list of synergistic units where Nicole can be placed is not as large as that of a number of other heroes, but due to her unpretentiousness and accessibility from the start, she deserves attention and leveling up. By giving her the appropriate equipment and improving her skills, you will get a universal for F2P squads or teams with “Sly Bunnies”.
