The trailer showcases Nicole as an indispensable "Sub-DPS and Support" character for any team:

• Element & Weapon: Nicole wields a Pyro Catalyst, blending the power of fire with graceful melodies.

• AoE Support: Her elemental skills not only boost teammates' ATK but also deal AoE Pyro damage, enabling powerful reactions.

• Exploration Utility: Her charged attack helps uncover hidden treasures, making her a favorite for exploration fans.
