Nicole Reeyn
Who is Nicole Reeyn?
Nicole Reeyn (known as "Nicole" in-game) is a 5★ Pyro Catalyst Support from Nod-Krai's Hexenzirkel faction, rated SS-tier Support by Game8. Released in Version 6.6 (May 20, 2026), she is an ATK buffer and shielder whose Elemental Skill provides a teamwide ATK buff and defensive shield, while her Burst summons Arcane Projections that trigger coordinated attacks. Her straightforward ATK-stacking build makes her accessible while remaining powerful, especially in Hexerei teams alongside Durin, Varka, and Prune.

F2P Verdict
Build ATK% on all main stats (Sands/Goblet/Circlet) aiming for 3,000-4,000+ ATK.
Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers (3★ catalyst) provides a free 48% ATK buff to the next character on swap — a genuinely competitive option for pure ATK buffing.
Favonius Codex (4★) provides ER + CRIT-based particles if higher ER is needed.
Most effective in Hexerei teams; game8.co notes she is "Kinich's new best team" support when paired with Durin and Iansan. Source: https://game8.co/games/Genshin-Impact/archives/406932
