2PC ATK% Combinations: A placeholder for the above, and good in cases where either Celestial Gift’s DMG% is not useful or a better holder exists. In the last case, other supportive sets such as Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City can be considered.
Nicole typically prioritizes maximizing her ATK at the cost of other stats, with Energy Recharge only being a consideration on teams where her Burst is used. CRIT Rate can be considered only if using Favonius Codex. Note that Nicole does not need to hit the 4000 ATK cap for her Skill buff to perform well, though she aims to do so if possible.
How much Energy Recharge Nicole needs to cast the Burst every rotation, by team and by weapon. Where a target is out of reach, the advice beside it says what to do instead.
| Team | Sig Weapon | Other Weapon |
|---|---|---|
| Double Pyro | 135-155% | 175-195% |

Nicole prioritizes levelling her Skill, as it comprises most if not all her value on a team with levels increasing her ATK buff and the Shield strength. Burst is a distant secondary consideration. It is typically only worth casting on teams where Nicole’s Hexerei passive is active anyway, with the multiplier it provides being most of her Burst’s damage and not scaling with talent Levels.
She is placed right before the main carry in the rotation.
The main carry of the team is a Hexerei unit.

Genshin Impact 5★ Pyro Catalyst Shielder
Angelos' Heptades tops the weapon ranking for Nicole at R1, ahead of Skyward Atlas, Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers and Oathsworn Eye. That order is prydwen.gg's, measured in play and rephrased here; every row of it sits under Weapons below.
Run Celestial Gift on Nicole, with 2PC ATK% Combinations and A Day Carved From Rising Winds behind it. Main stats are ATK% sands, ATK% goblet, ATK% circlet. Roll substats in the order ATK% > ER.
Talent priority is Skill >> Burst. The Elemental Burst costs 60 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.
Aim for 135% to 175% Energy Recharge, depending on the team and the weapon, per prydwen.gg's calcs.
The strongest team is Varka, Prune, Nicole and Bennett, built around Nicole: Pyro · Swirl.
Nicole's abilities multiply ATK. That is read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.
Memory of Dust is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star catalyst with ATK as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on ATK. Oathsworn Eye is the best 4-star alternative.
Crimson Witch of Flames. Its 2-piece bonus is: Pyro DMG Bonus +15% Its 4-piece bonus is: Increases Overloaded, Burning, and Burgeon DMG by 40%. Increases Vaporize and Melt DMG by 15%. Using Elemental Skill increases the 2-Piece Set Bonus by 50% of its starting value for 10s. Max 3 stacks.
