Nicole in Genshin Impact: Top Build, Best Teams, Skills, and Leveling

В Genshin Impact Angel Nicole Rayne is a fire-elemental support who combines the roles of shielder and buffer. Her mechanics are very different from most support heroes, as hits from her ultimate, when performed simultaneously with her active character, are considered damage to the ally and share their element.

This girl specializes in increasing the attack power of her party members, so it's ideal to pair her with ATK-based damage dealers. Since she's a Witchcraft character, this should be taken into account when selecting teams, although her versatility allows her to play at near-maximum potential even in other groups.

How to Get the Character

Nicole can be knocked out in the Angel's Dreams event banner, which will be released in the first half the 6.6 update: May 20 to June 10 2026.

Follow the banner schedule, so as not to miss the rerun of Nicole and other heroes.

Strengths and Weaknesses

In a squad, Angel plays the role of a shielding support, protecting allies and providing them with useful buffs while attacking from the pocket with her active character's element. Her predisposition to playing with other Witch heroes makes her somewhat difficult to find in a squad, but within her teams, she's practically irreplaceable.

The Best Nicole Builds in Genshin Impact

Angel occupies the support role, whose primary role is to activate shields for her allies and buff them. She has virtually no damage of her own, so a Nicole build doesn't rely on critical hits from items or weapons. When constructing a build, pay attention to flat ATK, ATK%, and Energy Regeneration%, which determine the quality of her buffs.

Recommended Stats

Her primary stat is attack power. It determines not only the shield's density, but also the size of the bonus for allies. Her second priority is energy rechargeDespite the inexpensive Elemental Burst, it should be available on cooldown, so try to gain additional VE%. This stat is best looked for in sub-stats, and in the main stats of the three artifacts, aim for ATK.

Artifact	Stats
Flower of Life Main Stat: HP (fixed)	ATK % Energy Recharge % ATK
Plume of Death Main Stat: ATK (fixed)	ATK % Energy Recharge % ATK
Sands of Eon Main Stat: attack power% or VE%	ATK% / Energy Recovery% ATK
Goblet of Eonothem Main Stat: Attack Power%	Energy Recharge % ATK
Circlet of Logos Main Stat: Attack Power%	Energy Recharge % ATK

Minimum and recommended parameters for effective play:

• ATK: For the maximum buff, this stat should be equal to 4000 units at level 10 of E-class.
• Energy recharge: about 140%-180% depending on the presence or absence of Pyro Resonance, as well as the Favonius weapon in the squad.

Effective weapon

Her gear should primarily have attack power as a primary stat and passive ability. If such a catalyst isn't available, then energy regeneration is an option, although this will make it more difficult to find items that balance her stats. Alternatively, high-base options are suitable, even if their passive is useless.

Name	Passive	Recommendation
Angel heptad ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Base stat: 49 - 741 ATK: 3.6%-16.5%	ATK is increased by 12%-24%For 20 seconds after the equipped character creates a shield, the Guiding Light effect is activated: the active character's damage is increased by 10%-22% for every 1000 attack power of the equipped character. The maximum increase is 26%-58%. In addition, when the equipped character creates a shield, he also gains the effect of Conductor's Saturation: restores his 14 - 18 Energy. It is also activated when the character opens a chest of any type outside of combat. The effect occurs even when the equipped character is not on the battlefield. Witchcraft: Arcane Rite: If the party has Witchcraft characters outside of combat, they also gain 50% of the Guiding Light's damage increase.	Nicole's signature weapon is her best option. It provides a large amount of ATK and useful buffs for squad members, especially when played with Arcane Rite.
Crane's Echoing Call ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Base stat: 49 - 741 ATK: 3.6%-16.5%	After the bearer's Plunge Strike hits an enemy, allies' Plunge Attack damage is increased by 28%-80% for 20 sec. Hits from them also restore 2.5 - 3.5 The wearer's energy is consumed every 0.7 seconds. The effect works even from the pocket.	The weapon's ability is almost completely useless for an Angel, but the base stats will provide a lot of ATK in any build.
Skyward Atlas ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Base stat: 48 - 674 ATK: 7.2%-33.1%	Increases elemental damage bonus by 12%-24%. When you hit with a normal attack, you have a 50% chance to receive a blessing from the clouds, which attacks nearby enemies for 15 seconds and deals damage to them. 160%-320% damage. Can occur once every 30 seconds.	A free option from the standard banner with a high base and suitable substats. The passive is practically useless, as it deals physical damage, and awakening the catalyst for the heroine is pointless.
Memory of Dust ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Base stat: 46 - 608 ATK: 10.8%-49.6%	Increases shield durability by 20%-40%. On hit, increases attack power by 4%-8% for 8 sec. This effect can stack up to 5 times and occur every 0.3 sec. While protected by a shield, the bonus of this effect is increased by 100%.	A strong option for her as a Pyro Shielder, significantly increasing her attack power and squad survivability. Before starting her rotation, it's worth hitting her with a right-click two or three times to gain an additional 8-12% ATK buff.
Oathsworn Eye ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Base stat: 44 - 565 ATK: 6%-27.6%	E-attack increases energy recharge by 24%-48% for 10 sec.	Was available in the 2.5 update. The best epic choice. It has decent ATK, and its passive allows you to reset your ultimate faster, triggering Mystic Projections more often and increasing your damage.
Favonius Codex ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Base stat: 42 - 510 Energy recharge: 10%-45.9%	Critical hits have 60%-100% chance to create elemental particles that restore 6 energy. Occurs once per 12 - 6 sec.	A versatile support catalyst. It requires you to search for more ATK in items than usual. In exchange, it completely eliminates the need for HE%, turning the hero into a "battery" for the entire team.
Flowing Purity ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Base stat: 44 - 565 ATK: 6%-27.6%	Using E-shka increases the damage bonus of all elements by 8%-16% for 15 sec. and applies a Life Debt equal to 24% of Max HP every 10 sec. When the Life Debt is removed, the buff for 15 sec. is increased by 2%-4% for every 1000 HP of Life Debt given. The boost cannot exceed 12%-24%.	Craft catalyst from Fontaine It can be used as a free-to-play option to increase ATK if the previous equipment is not available on the account. The passive effect is useless, so it is recommended to replace Sparkling Clear Waters when better alternatives become available.
Hakushin ring ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Base stat: 44 - 565 Energy recharge: 6,7%-30,6%	When a character equipped with this weapon triggers a reaction associated with the Electro element, all nearby party members whose element matches that reaction receive 10%-20% bonus damage to own element for 6 sec. Elemental damage bonuses gained this way do not stack.	It's worth considering for Overload teams, but the short duration of the bonus makes it difficult to use. To activate the buff, land a couple of normal attacks on an enemy with Electro status.
Frostbearer ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Base stat: 42 - 510 ATK: 9%-41.3%	Hitting with a normal or charged attack have a 60%-100% chance to create an ice crystal over the enemy and drop it, dealing 80%-140% ATK damage over an area. If the enemy has the Cryo effect, it deals 200%-360% ATK damage. Can occur once every 10 seconds.	The heroine doesn't use punches, but the weapon's stats will provide a nice boost to her stats, increasing outgoing buffs and shield density.
Eye of Perception ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Base stat: 41 - 454 ATK: 12%-55.1%	When you hit with a normal or charged attack, you have a 50% chance to trigger an Eye of Perception that deals 240%-360% damage from ATK and ricochets up to 4 times. Can occur once per 12 - 8 sec.	As with the previous options A temporary option until higher-rated Legendaries or Epics become available. Like Fruit of Permafrost, it's considered solely for its base and substats.
Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Base stat: 39 - 401 HP: 7,7%-35,2%	When switching character, increases the attack power of the character that entered the battlefield by 24 % 48 % for 10 sec. Can occur once every 20 seconds.	Increases an ally's ATK by 48%, but the Witch's low base and health stats negatively impact her personal gain. The resulting bonus will rarely be able to compensate for Nicole's lost bonus, and this requires ideal artifacts, as she won't reach 4000 ATK with Epic. Otherwise, this weapon remains temporary until more suitable alternatives become available.

You can find all types of equipment and their positions in weapon tier list.

Optimal artifacts

Nicole's items should increase attack power. Energy-regenerating sets and support sets with useful abilities that increase allies' damage are also suitable.

Name	Description	Recommendation
Celestial Gift ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Five-star	2 Piece: Increases energy recovery by 20%. 4 Piece: If the wearer has completed Witchcraft Lessons, after using an elemental skill, they gain a bonus that increases the elemental damage of their allies by 20% for 20 seconds, equal to the wearer's element. Set bonuses do not stack. When Witchcraft: Secret Rite is active in a party, depending on the active character's element on the battlefield, all nearby allies gain a damage bonus of the corresponding element, and the magnitude of both bonuses is increased to 40%. Damage bonuses from the same element do not stack.	The best set for the heroine, increasing the frequency of her ultimate and buffing the entire party's elemental damage. Pairs well with other Sabbat heroes, especially Durin.
Noblesse Oblige ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Five-star	2 Piece: Increases the damage of the ult by 20%. 4 Piece: Activating this superpower increases the ATK of all squad members by 20% for 12 seconds. This effect does not stack.	An option for teams without Magic Resonance, where the signature set won't work. Make sure there are no other players wearing this set in the squad, as its effect doesn't stack.
Gladiator’s Finale (Shimenawa's Reminiscence / Vermillion Hereafter / Echoes of an Offering / Nighttime Whispers in the Echoing Woods, Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy, Unfinished Reverie, A Day Carved From Rising Winds)	2 Piece: Increases ATK by 18%. 2 Piece: Increases ATK by 18%.	If you don't have any good solid options listed above, a 2+2 mix of different ATK sets will do. It doesn't boost the team in any way, but it does simplify the Witch's stat balance.

Alternatively, for the first time you can put Instructor, if squad members need Elemental Mastery, for example, in Steam and Meltdown. However, a feather with a fixed attack value is better taken from another 5⭐ set.

Teams

The angel plays best with characters belonging to Witchcraft factions, since this activates both her passive and theirs. However, this isn't a strict limitation, as without Magic Resonance, only the damage from combined attacks is reduced, while her buff remains unchanged.

Sabbat heroes and regular characters with good synergy

Companions with the best interaction with the angel:

Character	Element	Weapon	Features
Varka	Anemo	Claymore	The best primary damage dealer for a girl, who not only receives the resonance of Witchcraft, but also a buff to ATK and a reduction in resistance to the elements he hits with.
Durin	Pyro	One-handed sword	This allows the angel to be a part of almost any team, as it not only allows her to activate her Witch passive but also Pyro Resonance, which mutually increases her attack power. Additionally, the hero herself will support her main damage dealer with her damage and buff.
Lohen	Cryo	Polearm	A cryo damage dealer who plays stance and attacks with normal attacks while infused. He requires the Resonance of Witchcraft, which the angel will provide. The girl will also speed up his stack gain from Holy Mystery Projections.
Klee	Pyro	Catalyst:	A decent Witch primary damage dealer, focusing on both normal and Pyro-charged attacks. While in her ultimate, she can't target allies, so she requires good support on the field.
Kinich	Dendro	Claymore	Although Kinich isn't a Witchcraft hero, he performs best in teams with an Angel. Having a shield, rather than a buff field like Bennett's, synergizes perfectly with his agile gameplay.
Mona	Hydro	Catalyst:	The best Hydro main damage dealer. She has her own buffs for Steam, and in constants, with a well-chosen team, she can perform on par with current meta teams.
Venti	Anemo	Bow	A versatile Anemo sub-DD who, with proper investment, can fill the role of primary damage dealer. Since she doesn't have a specific area of ​​effect buff, he'll be able to play more comfortably with her without having to dodge enemy attacks.
Albedo	Geo	One-handed sword	Although it has defense scales, it will be a good addition to Geo squads, especially together with Durin, who cuts resistance to Geo and Pyro.
Fischl	Electro	Bow	She's indispensable in Overload groups, as she provides a stable Electro status buff. The combination of her, the dragon boy, and Rain is an extremely powerful combination, capable of carrying any character in the fourth slot.
Prune Sucrose	Anemo	Catalyst:	Two wind-based supports from Arcane Rite. Sucrose is more useful when playing with Meltdown, but has a strong pull, and Prune is a better complement to Anemo main-DD teams.
Razor	Electro	Claymore	After the buff, the wolf boy can take the position of the main Electro damage dealer, dealing normal attacks after activating his super ability. If you implement the Witchcraft Resonance, he will perform well in any reaction, but Overload is the most preferred.

Main DPS

Other main damage dealers who can join the heroine's group, provided the Sabbat resonance is met:

1	2	3	4
Arlecchino (Pyro, spear)	Hu Tao (Pyro, spear)	Lyney (Pyro, bow)	Yoimiya (Pyro, bow)
Chasca (Anemo, bow)	Wanderer (Anemo, catalyst)	Tartaglia (Hydro, bow)	Ayato (Hydro, one-handed sword)
Wriothesley (Cryo, catalyst)	Ganyu (Cryo, bow)	Clorinde (Electro, one-handed sword)	Varesa (Electro, catalyst)
Navia (Geo, two-handed sword)

Secondary damage dealer

Suitable pocket damage dealers who will passively deal damage in a squad and can take advantage of Nicole's buff:

1	2	3	4
Emilie (Dendro, spear)	Raiden (Electro, spear)	Kazuha (Anemo, one-handed sword)	E Lan (Hydro, catalyst)
Xingqiu (Hydro, one-handed sword)	Mavuika (Pyro, two-handed sword)	Xiangling (Pyro, Spear)	Dehya (Pyro, two-handed sword)

Top teams

The main damage dealer should be on the battlefield for at least three seconds or have a catalyst, so "revolver" teams aren't the best choice for Nicole. When selecting companions, make sure they all scale off of ATK, although one companion should scale off of HP or defense Let's say. For convenience, the squads are divided into different reactions.

Diffusion

In these groups, the primary damage dealer is the Anemo damage dealer, whose allies work entirely to support him, providing him with elemental overlays. If you're playing a regular damage dealer, make sure you have Witchcraft Resonance to increase your damage output from projections, but it's not required.

Character 1	Character 2	Character 3	Character 4	Features
Varka	Durin	Prune Venti	Nicole	The best squad for the Ordo Favonius Magister is based on Pyro damage with the resonance of this element. If Prune, his strongest option, is unavailable, Venti, who is only slightly inferior, can be used.
Varka	Xiangling	Faruzan	Nicole	A budget alternative to a Varka-based team, provided you don't have Durin or a stronger Anemo support than Faruzan on your account. It's best to give Xiangling more energy regeneration so that she can compensate for the loss in overall damage with frequent ult activations.
Wanderer	Durin	Prune Faruzan	Nicole	The Scaramuccia option. If both 4* girls aren't C6, then choose the one with the higher const for the third slot. At full constellations, the groups are practically equal, and the Faruzan option is only 2-3% stronger, but is less convenient than the Prune option.
Venti Wanderer	Durin	Prune Faruzan	Nicole	A group with Venti or Wanderer can also work well, as both damage dealers require a good ATK buffer. Be sure to have Witchcraft Resonance active to summon projections.
Chaska (C1)	Durin	Citlali	Nicole	One of the most powerful combinations with C1 Chaska and Meltdown's regular reaction. Equip Citlali in the Scrolls of the Burned City set for the Durin buff. If you equip Nicole with Gift of the Sky, every bullet will receive an elemental buff.

Overload

In most of these combinations, Angel replaces Chevreuse. Nicole is also responsible for the group's survivability and ATK boost, but sometimes they can play together. Anemo support is usually not used because Durin is almost always on the team, who will negate Pyro resistances.

Character 1	Character 2	Character 3	Character 4	Features
Arlecchino Klee	Durin Chevreuse	Fischl	Nicole	A group option using Overcharge with Harlequin or Klee as the main damage dealer. The latter is preferable if you want more damage from the Witch's Projections. Get Fischl to at least 140% energy regeneration so you can reset her ultimate and refresh the Raven on cooldown.
Clorinde Varesa Razor	Durin Chevreuse	Fischl	Nicole	A similar team, but with Electro as a main DD. Due to Resonance, Fischl's energy requirements are much lower. Razor is mechanically perfect, but due to its epic rarity, it performs worse than her. 5⭐ companions for whom the buff is not the most convenient.
Mavuika	Chevreuse Durin	Fischl Ororon	Nicole	The main problem with Mavuika is that she must reset her ultimate immediately after it becomes active, which conflicts with the three-second on-field requirement. When playing with Nicole, it's important to adjust your rotation, which isn't always possible, otherwise you'll lose around 300 attack. Ororon grants less Electro status, but with him, Elemental Burst builds up faster.

Vaporize

Teams with primary Hydro damage dealers are rare—almost all Hydro damage dealers are scaled based on HP and don't require Rain's support. The optimal Hydro main damage dealer is Mona, as she increases the team's damage output, including through projections.

Character 1	Character 2	Character 3	Character 4	Features
Arlecchino Hu Tao Yoimiya	Yelan Xingqiu	Mona	Nicole	A team with a Pyro damage dealer who needs a lot of Hydro. Mona will boost Omen's damage and, if necessary, distract enemies if Nicole's shield fails.
Mona	MavuikaDurin Xiangling	Sucrose Venti	Nicole	The most powerful combination is with Sucrose and Mavuika in the Burned City Hero's Scrolls set. If Archon is busy elsewhere, you can replace her with Durin or Xiangling, and if you need a stable draw, Venti is a good alternative to the Alchemist's Apprentice.
Durin	Fischl	Xingqiu	Nicole	A relatively budget-friendly option with Durin as the driver and two epic companions. Swapping Xingqiu for Ye Lan or Furina isn't recommended, as Nicole's purpose here is to buff all damage dealers, and those heroes scale based on HP, not ATK.
Tartaglia Ayato	Durin Xiangling	Sucrose Kazuha	Nicole	A standard Steam team for two Hydro damage dealers, bolstered by Witchcraft heroes. Nicole fully replaces Bennett as a buffer here. If Sucrose is used for Dispel instead of Kazuha, Durin can be freed up for the second team and replaced with Xiangling.

Melt

Almost all groups are tied to either Loen or Durin, who acts as a liaison with the Frost main or sub-DD, since there are no other Cryo damage dealers among the Witchcraft.

Character 1	Character 2	Character 3	Character 4	Features
Lohen Wriothesley	Durin	Sucrose Venti	Nicole	The strongest possible option for Cryo Main-DD, it utilizes two resonances—Pyro and Witchcraft. Sucrose is preferable for Dispersion, but it can be replaced with Venti. Durin must be in Dark Form.
Lohen Wriothesley Ganyu	Durin	Emilie	Nicole	Alternatively, you can add Emilia to your team. She, along with Durin, will inflict Burning and, in addition to passive damage, provide a permanent Pyro effect. This is especially useful when playing against Ganyu, who doesn't need to get close to maintain her status.
Lohen	Durin	Citlali	Nicole	A team with Cryo and Pyro Resonances. Sitlali will additionally increase damage and survivability if Nicole's shield is insufficient, and will also reduce enemy resistance to Pyro, increasing Durin's damage.
Durin	Citlali	Escoffier	Nicole	A group with several secondary damage dealers without a designated main damage dealer. It performs well primarily due to the individual strength of each companion and the power of Melt. We don't recommend building this group specifically, but this composition can be used if Cryo and Pyro are essential against a specific enemy.

Burn

The most effective combination is with Kinich, but if you have Emilia on your account and want to play with this reaction, you can add it to Pyro Main-DD.

Character 1	Character 2	Character 3	Character 4	Features
Kinich	Emilie Iansan	Durin	Nicole	With C6 Iansan, the results are about 3-4% better than with Emilia, but overall they're interchangeable. Durin closes the Magic Resonance and cuts resistance to Dendro, which hits not only Kinich, but also Nicole's projections, and his own Pyro.
Klee Arlecchino Lyney	Emilie	Durin Xiangling	Nicole	You can play the same way with Pyro main-DD, but here Emilia is crucial as the sole source of Dendro status. If Klee is the damage dealer, she provides Witchcraft Resonance and allows you to free up Durin for the second team if needed.

Mono-squads and Geo reactions

Other squads, including mono-Pyro and groups with Geo heroes. There aren't many of the latter, as most of their abilities scale with defense.

Character 1	Character 2	Character 3	Character 4	Features
Klee Lyney	Durin	Sucrose Xilonen	Nicole	A "roast" squad, in which you can put Sucrose in the Viridescent Venerer set as a buffer or Shilonen to reduce Pyro resistance.
Navia	Durin	Albedo Xilonen	Nicole	A group using Crystallization, with Albedo and Durin triggering the reaction from their pocket under Nicole's buff. Then, Navia takes to the field and collects shards to deal high damage. Alchemist can be replaced with Shilonen. Overall, the team is considered quite strong, but it's weaker than Moon Crystal with Columbine and zoologist Linnaeus somewhere by 10-15%.

Features

As the heroine levels up, in addition to basic stats like ATK, defense, and health, her attack power percentage increases. Despite being a support, her abilities rely heavily on ATK, so she should not only be leveled to 90, but also, if possible, leveled to 95 or 100 with Wandering fortune.

Leveling

To level up an angel you will have to find a lot of rare resources, which are mined mainly in Nod-Krai.

Ascension

To raise its level you will need:

Resource	Where to find it
Slivers, fragments, chunks and gemstones of Agnidus Agate	Obtained from weekly and world bosses.
Tattered Warrant ×18 Immaculate Warrant x30 Frost-Etched Warrant ×36	Dropped by Fatui oprichniki.
Remnant of the Dreadwing ×46	Dropped by the Lord of the Hidden Depths.
Pine Amber × 168	One of curiosities of Nod-Kray. Mainly found in Voidsea Outlook and Wavechaser Plain.
Hero's Wit × 421	A reward for completing quests, events, clearing the world, and passing through the arteries of the earth.
Mora ×1	All activities in the game.

Talents

To upgrade one of her abilities to level 10, collect:

Resource	Where to find it
Teachings of Elysium ×3 Guides to Elysium ×21 Philosophies of Elysium ×38	Farmed in the dungeon "Lightless Capital" in Tuesday, Friday и Sunday.
Tattered Warrant ×6 Immaculate Warrant x21 Frost-Etched Warrant ×31	Dropped by Fatui oprichniks.
Fake resin ×4	Material from the boss Ascended Master of the Path of Heresy.
Crown of Insight × 1	Reward for events and the offering system.
Mora ×1	Game currency obtained from almost all activities.

Skills

Angel combines the abilities of a shielder and a buffer. She cannot cast Pyro on enemies, but provides powerful buffs even to groups not using Witchcraft Resonance. The buff has a limited number of stacks, which are consumed during attacks (similar to the mechanics of Hermits Shen He, ratnik Illuga and other heroes).

Basic (Active) Skills

All of Nicole's key abilities are aimed at increasing the effectiveness of her combat allies and protecting them from incoming damage.

Passive Skills

Abilities at levels 40, 50, and 70 improve her support abilities and make her more comfortable to use:

Talent Leveling Order

Elemental Skill (E) > Elemental Burst (Q) > Normal Attacks (optional)

Priority for developing abilities:

• First of all, pay attention to E — it's the main source of buffs and shields. It should be developed strictly to level nine, and ideally to level ten, as the buff values ​​are not fixed and increase with each level.
• Elemental Burst is also important, but should be leveled up after the skill. If you're playing with a Witch's main damage dealer, you can raise it to level 9, but if you're using a "regular" damage dealer, leave it at level 8, as the projections' damage is significantly reduced.
• With normal strikes The character only uses them when exploring the world, so they can be left alone.

Constellations

Nicole's best constellations are: С2, С3 и С6.

• The second constellation Increases the E buff from 900 to 1200 ATK with sufficient ATK, and also reduces the resistances of nearby enemies. This further increases the damage of allies and allows Bennett to be fully replaced in any squad, despite the three-second delay.
• Third Const. Increases the skill level to 13, increasing the buff by an additional 108 units. Shield density also increases with the skill level, increasing the overall survivability of the squad.
• The sixth constellation Provides a significant boost to the entire party, as the buff now applies not only to the primary damage dealer but also to pocket sub-DDs and supports. All heroes in the party begin to ignore enemy defenses, increasing overall damage.

How to play as Nicole

Her abilities are fairly typical for a support character, so there are practically no new additions to her rotation. She doesn't take up much time on the field, only coming out to refresh her skills and abilities.

The only nuance that is present in the gameplay for her is The Grace of Kenosis, which all allies receive after activating her E-class. Witch companions will immediately upgrade this buff to Theosis' Guidance, but "normal" characters will need three seconds. Therefore, when playing as your primary damage dealer, try to keep this timing in mind to avoid using a high-damage ability without the boost.

Rotation

Skill Order: E (elemental skill) > Q (elemental burst) > abilities of other supports and sub-DD > skills of the main damage dealer.

Rotation when playing with an angel on a team:

1. Start the fight with the girl's skill and her elemental burst to trigger the buff and projections.
2. Switch to the rest of the supports or sub-DDs and use their abilities.
3. Switch to your main damage dealer. If he's a Witchcraft hero, you can start the rotation right away. If not, wait. three seconds, so that the Guidance of Theosis is activated, and only then reset key abilities.
4. Upgrade your angel's skills as they cool down.

Is the Character Worth Pulling For?

Mercy is one of the strongest supports, offering not only a strong shield but also a significant attack damage boost to the entire squad, making her stand out from other stat-buffering heroes. With the right investment, she can compete with Bennett or replace him in many squads, for example, leaving the Adventurer for the second group.

Although her projections' damage is reduced with "normal" heroes, paired with Durin, the angel can significantly boost almost any older squad. Her kit is virtually identical across teams, and resetting buttons doesn't require a complex rotation. The only caveat to keep in mind is the buff's delay on the active hero unless they belong to the Witches' Coven.

What to Choose: C1 or Signature?

Nicole's Signal allows her to easily reach the 4000 attack damage she desperately needs, while also providing an additional passive buff for her team. There aren't many fully-fledged weapon alternatives, so in most cases, Angel Heptad is a better choice than C1, which boosts Projections.

However, since the key constellation is the second one, with a large number of spins it is better to aim for C2 if you are sure that you can guarantee it and have 5⭐ catalysts on your account.

Comparison with other ATK buffers

The heroine's main competition for a place in the squad is Bennett and Iansan. Despite their differences in element and abilities other than the ATK buff, these characters are often interchangeable. In the table, you can find the nuances of their buffs, preferred allies, and playstyles to help you decide who to prioritize.

Biography, lore, and trailers

The Seer is one of the surviving angels and representatives witches coven — an organization made up of powerful sorceresses. Her codename is the letter "N." She lost her voice long ago, and therefore can only speak in people's heads, guiding the lost to the truth. The Wolf Cub from Imaginarium Theater mentions the girl as the mute friend of the mistress of the magician, who likes to climb into the mind and chat in it.

According to the game's community theory, the witch is an overly powerful angel, as she is immune to the memory erasure effect. So far, everyone, including seven Archons и Harbingers, forgot about the existence of Rukhadevata and Wanderer (Scaramucci) After their removal from Irminsul, "N" did not lose her memory.

One of the rare exceptions was the Traveler, who belongs to the Descended. In addition, the seer was the only one who knew the true plans Hydro Archon Furina.

"N" witnessed the destruction of her species firsthand, but was saved and transformed into a human. In her lines Warrior Skirk refers to the girl as a former fairy whose transformation into a mortal was either an evolution or a regression.
