2. 📊 Damage Measurement and Limitations in the Test Server Environment
· In the test server, it's difficult to invest in crowns for characters other than new ones, so comparisons may be made with key skill levels being low.
· Characters other than Nicole and Furina are at level 9 without crown investment, meaning there's room for damage increase upon official release.
· The results show that the Nicole team can achieve similar damage levels to the previous Venti-Bennett team, which could defeat half of the boss's HP.
· Compared to the high DPS of the Arlecchino-Navia team when Linney was released, the Nicole team achieves around 20 more damage with Liney at level 9 and Arlecchino at level 10.
· The Arlecchino and Nicole team is expected to achieve over 20 more damage with Arlecchino at level 10, Furina at level 10, and Nicole at level 9, and this can increase further with crown investment.
· Arlecchino shows significant damage increase when paired with Nicole compared to existing teams, potentially matching or exceeding the performance of the previous highest DPS cycle.
· Nicole's long duration allows for cycle extension, but damage loss may occur when the Viridescent Venerer 4-piece set effect wears off.
· The difficulty in accurately comparing damage in the test server stems from complex processes like cycle measurement, calculation, and sample extraction, which are time-consuming.
· HP-based comparisons have large variances, and collecting data from at least 10 runs to measure maximum damage also requires significant time.

3. ⚔️ Damage Comparison by Various Teams and Character Performance Analysis
· The Kichinichi team currently shows the strongest performance among the tested teams, and can become even stronger depending on Emily's constellation.
· Comparing the damage output of Yansha C6 and Emily's constellations, Emily shows higher potential.
· The Varesha team focuses on dealing damage within the first cycle, and damage increases when Nicole is added.
· Compared to the existing Mabika-Varesha team, damage increases with the addition of Nicole, and it's also compared with the Chevruse C6 team.
· The Furina team using Xianyun shows damage changes when it's C2 and when Fiscl is swapped in.
· In the Mabika team, Bennett shows higher damage than Nicole at C0, but this is because Mabika's Melt damage has a high proportion due to its bloodline structure.
· The Nicole team experiences initial Melt damage loss due to a 3-second preheating time, but damage increases after buffs are applied.
· Given Mabika's Melt damage structure, initial damage is crucial, making Bennett potentially more advantageous than Nicole.

4. 💡 Analysis of Nicole's Performance and Role in Teams
· It's not necessarily true that C0 Nicole is better than Bennett in the Mabika team. Performance differences can arise depending on Bennett's weapon (Skyward Blade vs. Wolf's Gravestone) and energy recharge setup.
· Nicole's Elemental Skill is sufficient for use, making cycle management easy, and her Burst doesn't offer significant returns.
· Nicole's Elemental Skill provides a 300 buff increase and reduces nearby enemies' resistance by 25%.
· Nicole is a character with high potential for continuous use, and C2 is worth considering.
· With Nicole C2 in the Mabika team, higher damage potential is expected.
· Nicole can also be utilized in Venti teams, and in teams with only one DPS, Nicole can perform similarly to or better than Bennett.
· In teams with two DPS characters, Nicole could become an essential choice.
· For teams with a high proportion of on-field DPS, like the Mabika team, Nicole can be an upgrade element.
· Since only Nicole's Elemental Skill needs to be used, her energy recharge burden is low, and she has high applicability in non-Bardo parties.
