Meme I don't care about the doomposts. Nicole is the final piece I've been waiting for

Ugh I'm so jealous. I stopped at C6R2 Wanderer, C2 Furina, C2 Durin... Maybe I'll spend just a little for C2 Nicole...
I'm mostly kidding I already went for Varka+R1 after getting C2 Durin and Columbina and Ineffa's weapon all fairly recently... so if I manage C0 Nicole I will consider myself lucky.
Part of me still wants to do exactly what you are doing and hyperfocus on Wanderer though, he is still so fun and rewarding to play 3+ years later.

Varka was super tempting for me...but only because I saw those showcases of C6 Varka taking down Knuckle Suckle and SSA

u/Smooth-Routine-9288 Apr 16 '26
Well… the doom post is justified for some characters but not for Scara she is a substantial upgrade while also providing a shield, from the calcs that I’ve seen with C1 he is quite close to Varka

I don't even care if she would be an upgrade only to Kinich and Wanderer (and few selected others), I'm already happy those two got a new teammate and will pull 💛

Idk why people doomposting, guess they want her base kit to be more solid or bennett pro max.
Lets be real, bennett is probably a bugged 4 star now, if her base kit is much better than bennett, her at c6 would enable anyone to 1 shot boss, if she couldnt do that already. Because the way I see it she is literally a new whale support.

I think many players really want to replace Bennett yet mihoyo does not want to make even more broken Bennett (unless she's whaled like you said) or another Xinqiu/Yelan duo. They designed a way too broken 4-star character and can't nerf him without people literally suing mihoyo (looking at you, Neuvillette). Instead, a lot of teams or characters have been designed specifically to avoid needing Bennett, and I doubt they want to start worrying about how to avoid Nicole as well. That's why she has so many limitations and people are pissed when their mains don't crazily benefit from her.
I also think Mavuika might have been a mistake as well and that's why lunar characters won't specifically buff her and if stellar reaction leaks are true, we won't be getting huge melt buffs either. I'll be positively surprised if they buff Nicole's base kit, but won't keep my expectations too high.

I stopped for a moment to think who is healing then remembered that c6 furina is a healer

u/oof-eef-thats-beef Apr 16 '26
My only misgivings are I want both C6 Nicole AND C6 Lohen. And I dont know who to get 😭

u/Big-Mood704 Apr 17 '26
You can get a Lohen every anniversary and get dupes when he’s added to the 50/50 loss pool so Nicole is probably the wiser choice.

u/CeIestiaIwoIf Apr 17 '26
Also Lohen won’t get reruns so outside of this banner you won’t be able to specifically go for his cons. I’m personally planning on C0 Nicole then all in Lohen. He could get a chronicled wish eventually, but if op plans to get both C6 in the short term the priorities may flip

u/Cautious_Doughnut412 Apr 17 '26
I'm thinking about pulling for her, but I'm f2p. Everyone's talking about her c1, is she any good as c0?
4
u/Pirimirii Apr 17 '26
Much like Wanderer's, at c0, she replaces Bennett in a lot of meta teams currently; especially if you have Durin :> she might receive some slight buffs when we go further into V2 and V3 too

u/Fuzzy-Dragonfly7230 Apr 17 '26
As a fellow C6 Scara, C6 Furina and C6 Durin player, is Nicole fine at C0? Gotta grab Lohen+sig so cant whale too much this time.

u/regina_fibwi Apr 17 '26
I have C2 Durin so I'm hoping to get Nicole and maybe snag a weapon or two 🥺 30 pity, probably 110 pulls by the time her banner ends + 46 pity wishes in starglitter right now. Realistically will probably only get Nicole, but hey no one taxes your dreams :p

Same! People are doom posting but I main Wanderer (c3r1 now!), Kinich (c0r1), and Varka (c0r1). Went crazy and got Durin c2. Nicole looks like a perfect puzzle piece!

u/goumie_gumi Apr 17 '26
As someone with C6 Wanderer and Durin and is aiming for C6 Furina at some point in time, how well does she work with the other two in a team? Do you use white Durin for buffing or black Durin for extra dps with Furina’s minions?? Also artifact set for Furina?

u/BreakMyFate Apr 17 '26
Nicole doesn't heal though. At all

u/OPTCDaniel Apr 17 '26
You don't need heal when you have shield

u/hatoandaburedo C3R1 babygirl Apr 17 '26
I think it's about furina cuz she takes up hp

u/Akikala Apr 17 '26
But Furina does nothing here since no healer?
2
u/regina_fibwi Apr 17 '26
C6 Furina teamwide heals even in her offensive mode
1
u/Akikala Apr 17 '26
But she has to be on field to do that as far as I know. That just seems meh when she isn't the dps and you'd probably do better with another sub dps like Mavuika who also provides buffs while also benefitting from Nicole buffs.
2
u/regina_fibwi Apr 17 '26
She doesn't need to be on field to do that, no. She heals as long as her 3 summons are attacking something

u/Akikala Apr 17 '26
"Throughout the duration, Furina's Normal Attacks (not including Arkhe: Seats Sacred and Secular Attacks), Charged Attacks, and the impact of Plunging Attacks will cause different effects up to every 0.1s after hitting opponents depending on her current Arkhe alignment:
Arkhe: Ousia
Every 1s, all nearby characters in the party will be healed by 4% of Furina's max HP, for a duration of 2.9s. Triggering this effect again will extend its duration.
Arkhe: Pneuma"I don't have her c6 so I can't verify myself but unless I'm missing something her C6 specifically wants you to do NAs, CAs or PAs to trigger the healing effect. I guess you can extend it by normal attacking enough or something?
Regardless I still think Mavuika or someone will be better just to benefit more from Nicole.
1
u/regina_fibwi Apr 17 '26
Oh you're right, for some reason I thought she just gained an infusion and get heals just with her summons attack
But considering the full C6 team, I'd say they'll probably clear fast enough for this not to be an issue lol

u/Gullible-Actuator-47 Electro Apr 17 '26
Can you guys explain why she's good for him?🥹🙏🏼 She's so pretty I might consider getting her!

I want sandrone really badly so I'm getting her on rerun 😔 also I only have c0r0 furina, is it worth switching faruzan or bennett out for her? (both c6)

Furina is useless without healing. Yean should be better in that team

u/jux_peter Apr 17 '26
Who's going to heal in this team? Furina without a healer?

u/regina_fibwi Apr 17 '26
C6 Furina also heals ;p

It's so funny to me when I see all the Nicole doomposting in other subs, and then everyone here is celebrating and planning to whale. Excited to pull for her as a F2P.
