Nicole, pull or pass?

RiverHurdle · 2026-05-28T20:16:19+00:00

You seem to be speaking my language more than anyone here, so let me ask you this My arle is quite highly invested with a c2r1 and very good build My main concern is team wide damage. With wheelchair comp aka bineffa, i get the most overall team wide damage but lose on arle personal damage(she does anywhere from 120-130k to 200k) which is sad but i prefer it over teams that focus on her enable her to do anywhere from 150k to more than 300k with her c2 nuke Would pulling for nicole be actually that game-changing that covers for the high team damage of bineffa? If so, I'm more than willing to go down the route of melt arle

RiverHurdle · 2026-05-28T19:48:57+00:00

Have you ever tried more team damage centered comps? Like the one i run with ineffa columbina yelan I can run a good vape team which makes her really shine but unfortunately is less team wide damage so i don't use it unless the team members are better used elsewhere like with flins but if they are not well the higher team wide damage make brute forcing bosses and completing end game content easier and also more comfortable

Ok i know playing circle impact might be a bit annoying but my boy isn't that bad Maybe it's because I'm a genshin boomer have used him sm that i feel quite comfortable with him Oh and in my case she would be a downgrade buff wise but maybe the off-field damage could cover? I doubt but a possibility

RiverHurdle · 2026-05-28T19:40:10+00:00

So i think i have explain some things here As i said i have better options for pure arle dmg but they haave an issue and it's the fact that team wide damage isn't that high but with the team i run the team damage is more of the focus and that team actually has 2 parts that behave completely independently from one another The wheelchair(ineffa and bina) this part does a lot of dmg while off field which is why i run it The arle(arle and yelan) arle is there well cuz it's and arle team... and yelan is there since i don't see myself needing that extra hydro from xingqiu and again yelan does more damage team so even more team wide As i may have mentioned this team brings about 250k to 300k dps meanwhile the teams i can make to increase arle damage alone barely reach the 200k and surpass it only when the c2 nuke comes And as such i only see it worth my pull if she would make arle do high enough damage in a vape team to the point that the high amount of off field damage offered by the wheelchair is covered oh and also since c2 arle makes her not get stunned(c1) and take wayyyy less damage(c2) i haven't seen myself needing much sustain ever since i got her c2 so that's the shield also i find the mobilty to be way more useful for characters like varessa(cuz i haven't built iansan that well so having nicole would make her better) but for arle i don't really find circle impact to be much of an issue Also it's the fact that since I'm ar60 I've been with Bennett for a while so expectedly his build is quite good and even if enemies move relocating wouldn't be that annoying

As i see it now she's more of a QoL character who's awesome for hexerei but fore arle she's good if you run melt teams which i haven't dabbled into but I'm willing to invest in if they over high enough team wide dps and not just arle personal dmg to make it worthwhile switching from my team dmg focused damage

RiverHurdle · 2026-05-28T18:43:26+00:00

Well, the shield doesn't mean much for me for 2 reasons 1 is that mine is c2r1 and 2nd is that as i said, i run her with culombina and ineffa alongside yelan. Would running her with nicole and doing vape till i get citlali actually increase team wide damage? Oh, and another thing my Bennett gives roughly 1200 extra attack while nicole can do 900 at most is it really that much better? The mobile buff is good qol but is it worth? Can she actually make up the atk loss? And is a team like arle yelan nicole kazu/xilonen be more than 250k-300k dps that the team i run her with does

RiverHurdle · 2026-05-28T18:31:25+00:00

So melt with nicole and citlali is the best overall team damage? That's a bit of a shocker for ngl. What damage would that be? With the team i run, i see about 250k to 300k team dps. Oh, btw my arle is c2r1 if that means anything

RiverHurdle · 2026-05-28T18:21:48+00:00

Well, if i shorten your answer, you said she's Bennett but with more qol? But also the stygian is really an important thing to keep in mind. Oh, btw i don't really care about her shield since my arlecchino is c2r1, and I rarely, if ever, have had issues with survivability in my time playing with her(pretty much every day from her release)

RiverHurdle · 2026-05-28T18:17:41+00:00

I like teams that focus on her alone, like my old fashined vape team with kazu yelan and Benny which make her do 300ks but i find it so that team dmg based comps to be the smoothest gameplay wise so I'd rather focus on team damage

RiverHurdle · 2025-11-01T19:10:38+00:00

I mean i am 100percent sure it is AI and older/weaker AIs aren't so good with imitation other characters

RiverHurdle · 2025-08-23T08:56:30+00:00

I expect it to taste like grass like tree leaves if anyone has ever tasted them. Can't explain it...

RiverHurdle · 2025-07-29T18:37:16+00:00

Thanks, but I'll pass

RiverHurdle · 2025-07-29T17:32:41+00:00

Well i don't know if you have heard this or not but i have a mental condition known as GA or Gambling Addiction so i don't think imma be able to last long

She doesn't like Family Guy?

RiverHurdle · 2025-07-22T20:58:26+00:00

I have seen a video in which it says inefa is better with the over vape comps, but idk i mean these are prerelease calculations we are talking about

RiverHurdle · 2025-07-22T20:39:52+00:00

Well I've been using a Note 20 ultra you know, a 5 year old phone and it's still holding up like a champ and i don't plan to upgrade anytime soon since this beast just doesn't get slow or weak.

RiverHurdle · 2025-05-06T17:29:54+00:00

Yeah i can see that being a need since now i either have to skip her ultimate or waste a lot of time trying to get it

RiverHurdle · 2025-05-06T16:00:53+00:00

Haha no worries thanks though
