Is Nicole a Good Esper in Dislyte?

Nicole is a Support Esper who, although weak in terms of damage, is great at protecting her allies from taking damage. Indeed, her kit is all about buffing her team with protecting buffs. This includes a unique buff called Soul Guard which redistributes damage taken by the carrier to Nicole and revives the carrier if they die with health as a percentage of Nicole’s Max HP.

Nicole has 2 chances to cast Sould Guard, once with her third ability, Spinning Wrap, and once with her second ability, Dead Man’s Protection. Spinning Wrap attacks all enemies for damage that scales off of Nicole’s Max HP, grants all allies DEF Up and Invincibility, and gives Soul Guard to the ally with the lowest HP. Dead Man’s Protection simply gives Sould Guard to a chosen ally.

This is a pretty stacked kit that can be used to protect your fragile Fighter Espers so they can stay in the battle to deal damage. However, she is easily countered by Espers with dispels. You, therefore, need to pick your time to use Nicole as without her buffs she is not that useful at all.

Nicole Equipment

Nicole needs to be built with SPD so that she can get her protection buffs out early to her fragile allies so that they are not one-shotted. She also needs extra HP to scale her damage and improve the HP level that allied Esper’s are revied at. Therefore, you should look to apply the following sets:

  • Wind: SPD +25%
  • Grove: HP+25%

Lastly, Nicole’s Equipment characteristics should prioritize HP BONUS and SPD.
