How to Play Nicole
Nicole Demara is used primarily as a support character; she specializes indebuffing enemies hit by using her enhanced bullets and launching powerful crowd control inthe form of Ether Energy Fields.
This character operates off a reload system. Plainly put, using her crowd control abilities(EX Special Attack, Chain Attack, or Ultimate) will force a reload on her bullets, enhancing themand causing her Basic Attacks and Dash Attacks to deal more damage.
Nicole can debuff the enemy in two different ways:
- Using enhanced bullets or Energy Fields, all enemies hit by this will have theirDEF reduced by 20% for 2 seconds.
- Upon reaching Talent F and obtaining Corrupting Energy Field,enhanced bullets or Energy Fields will now also reduce a target's Anamoly Buildup RES by 2.2%.This effect can stack up to 20 times, capping for a total of 44% reduction.
To add to the aforementioned debuffs, Nicole's Energy Fields will pull enemies together, actingsimimlarly to how you'd expect a black hole to work. This creates a window of opportunity foryour main damage dealers to strike, dealing increased amounts of damage to all enemies in the Energy Field.
