· Gameplay for Genshin Impact's long-awaited new character, Nicole, has been revealed.
· Nicole is a 5-star Catalyst character, highly anticipated as a powerful supporter who can replace Bennett.
· We'll examine Nicole's abilities and potential based on the beta test version.

· Nicole boasts a very beautiful and charming appearance, with delicate and lovely animations.
· The materials needed for character ascension are collected in the same way as before.
· Her basic attack doesn't have any particular features, as her main role is a supporter.

· Nicole's Elemental Skill, 'Call of Revelation,' grants the active character a Pyro shield that strengthens based on Nicole's ATK and absorbs Pyro DMG better.
· It also provides an ATK buff to all party members, proportional to Nicole's ATK.
· The buff exists in two forms; the second form activates when the active character stays on the field for over 3 seconds or uses a Catalyst.
· Nicole can obtain the second buff form even when off-field, which triggers when the active character causes an elemental reaction.
· The enhanced buff disappears when the active character leaves the field. The buff duration is 20 seconds, with a cooldown of 16 seconds.

· Consumes 60 Elemental Energy to deal powerful AoE Pyro DMG and put Nicole into a special state.
· In this state, Nicole follows the active character and deals periodic AoE elemental DMG.
· The DMG varies depending on the active character's element and is calculated based on the active character's ATK.
· The ultimate performs a total of 5 attacks and is further enhanced if there are characters in the 'Witch's Coven' party.
· When enhanced, not only the active character's ATK but also Nicole's ATK is additionally reflected.
· Nicole is a powerful shield character who increases the entire party's ATK by a percentage and a fixed value, and amplifies the DMG of core characters.

· Nicole's passive skill is related to the previously explained buff enhancement effects.
· Specifically, the exploration passive provides a function similar to a treasure compass. When using a charged attack off-field, a special fairy appears and acts like a compass, helping to locate treasures.

· Nicole's signature weapon provides ATK and ATK percentage. Its passive effect grants a buff to the active character, not the wearer, based on a certain percentage of the wearer's ATK.
· Additionally, it restores 14 Elemental Energy when the active character hits an enemy.
· This weapon significantly enhances the active character more than Nicole herself, showing extremely powerful performance.
· For 'Witch's Coven' party members, an additional 50% buff effect is applied.

· C1: When the active character hits an enemy, an additional hit occurs, which triggers with the same element as the active character's element.
· C2: Adds 240 ATK to the basic buff, and the enhanced buff reduces enemies' resistance to the active character's element by 20%. A shield is generated for the entire party upon using the ultimate.
· C4: During the enhanced buff, Nicole's ATK percentage strengthens the active character's normal attacks.
· C6: When Nicole receives the enhanced buff, all party members receive an enhanced blessing, including off-field party members. Party members with the enhanced buff ignore 40% of enemy DEF.

· Nicole is currently evaluated as one of the most powerful buffers.
· She shows outstanding performance as a core member of the 'Witch's Coven' party and a successor to Alisa.
· However, as this is currently the early stage of beta testing, there is a possibility of future changes.
· Nicole is a very important character that would be a shame to miss, so we strongly recommend acquiring her.
