Nicole
Nicole is a complete support upgrade: heavy shields plus a huge ATK push for your main DPS, syncing perfectly with Hexerei teams like Varka or Venti comps. What she needs most is the 4pc Celestial Gift, since it launched alongside her and is her tightest fit; Noblesse Oblige works fine as a substitute. Her signature Angelos' Heptades is strong but not mandatory — the 4-star Oathsworn Eye already covers her Energy Recharge needs. Aim for roughly 200% ER first, then dump everything into ATK. A very worthwhile support if you're building around a main DPS that craves a big ATK buff.

Nicole's talents
Allegoria
Proclaims a decree in the primordial tongue and performs up to 3 attacks that deal Pyro DMG.
Charged Attack
Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to deal AoE Pyro DMG to opponents in front of her after a short casting time.
Plunging Attack
Nicole plunges towards the ground from mid-air, damaging all opponents in her path. Also deals AoE Pyro DMG upon impact with the ground.
Revelation: Uncreated Light
The Shield of Blazing Light's DMG Absorption is based on Nicole's ATK, and it will absorb Pyro DMG at 250% effectiveness.
Revelation: Ladder of Divine Ascent
In this mode, when nearby active party members hit an opponent, an Arcane Projection is summoned to perform a Coordinated Attack against the opponent, dealing AoE Elemental DMG of the character's corresponding Elemental Type. This DMG scales based on the corresponding character's ATK and will be considered as having been dealt by them.
This effect can occur once every 3s, and can be triggered up to 4 times each time Nicole switches to Silent Contemplation mode.
It is worth noting that Hexerei characters' Arcane Projections appear to differ somehow in appearance from the others...
Methexis
When characters other than Nicole who have Guidance of Theosis leave the field, their effect reverts to Grace of Kenosis.

This effect has a cooldown time of 5 seconds and does not work in Domains, Trounce Domains, and the Spiral Abyss.

The Normal Attack, Charged Attack, Plunging Attack, Elemental Skill, and Elemental Burst DMG of characters with Pathfinder's Blessing is increased by 70% of Nicole's ATK. This effect will be removed once it has taken effect 8 times or when its duration is over.
When multiple opponents are hit at once, instances of Pathfinder's Blessing are consumed equal to the number of opponents hit. Each character's Pathfinder's Blessing is counted independently.
