How to play Nicole on Zenless Zone Zero: build, talents and skills

The best W-Engine for Nicole is The Vault, a Grade A item that reduces the target's defense by 30% for two seconds when she uses an EX Special Attack or Chain Attack. Our Category B recommendation is [Reverb] Mark III to increase its attack damage and critical rate.

We recommend equipping Nicole with a full four-piece set of Assassin's Ballad and a two-piece set of Noisy Pop to increase her attack damage.
