Nicole Demara
Who is Nicole Demara?
Nicole Demara is an A-rank Ether Support agent and founder of the Cunning Hares. The energetic, business-savvy leader of the protagonist group, she is one of the most universally useful support units in the game. Her EX Special applies an Ether vortex that pulls enemies together and reduces their DEF — making her an excellent budget support for any team that wants grouping and defence shred.
スキル概要
Her EX Special creates a pull field that drags enemies into a tight cluster, enabling AoE attacks to hit everything simultaneously.
The vortex applies a DEF shred debuff to pulled enemies — amplifying all damage dealt by the team.
Additional Ability activates with Nekomata or Billy Kid for Physical DMG bonuses.
Her kit is efficient and costs minimal SP — easy to fit into any rotation.
ビルドガイド
🔮 最適遺物/エコーセット
Swing Jazz (2pc) + any support 2pc — she buffers rather than deals damage; Energy Regen for more Ultimates.
⚔ 最適光円錐/武器
Kaboom the Cannon — provides ATK buff for the whole team. Any A-rank support W-Engine works.
📊 サブステータス優先度

CIST: Nicole + Zhu Yuan + Qingyi (CIST faction trio — Nicole groups + DEF shreds, Qingyi Stuns, Zhu Yuan DPS)
無課金向け判断
Nicole is an A-rank given early in the story — all players have her from the beginning.
No W-Engine investment needed — Kaboom the Cannon from the standard pool is her best option.
Her grouping is particularly valuable in multi-enemy content (Shiyu Defense).
よくある質問
Why does grouping matter so much?
In Shiyu Defense, enemies start spread out. Nicole's Ether Vortex pulls them all to one spot, letting any AoE attack hit the full group. This effectively multiplies DPS in multi-enemy encounters.
Is Nicole Demara useful at high investment levels?
At premium investment levels, more specialised supports like Rina or Astra Yao outperform her. But as a budget/free third-slot unit, her DEF shred + grouping adds genuine value with zero pull cost.
Does Nicole work with non-Cunning Hares characters?
Yes — her DEF shred and grouping are universal. The faction bonus only activates if you run Nekomata or Billy Kid, but her core value works in any team.
