I'm surprised there isn't more discussion about how people are feeling about Nicole in this subreddit after she's been fully released. Is she as amazing as the theorycrafters predicted she would be? Or is her QoL and damage improvement underwhelming in practice?

Personally, with C0R1 Durin, C2R1 Nicole with underleveled weapons and talents, my C2R0 Wanderer is doing 130k DPS. I'm pretty happy with this considering there's a lot of room for improvement that will come with more time/resin.

I am currently using prototype amber on Columbina and instructors on Kuki. This combination is giving me 167k dps on the dummy, and my sustain is ok enough to clear the abyss and fearless stygian with ease.

Exploration-wise, I am finding Nefer annoying to use with no good traversal abilities. I also have to constantly swap between my characters to get healing from Kuki's ring.

I keep hearing from others that Lauma C1 is essentially a must pull if I want to fully enjoy Nefer long term due to the sheer QoL. On the other hand, others say that her C1 is a waste of primos for not having any meta-relevant damage increase.

I also plan on heavily investing into my Wanderer team by pulling Durin C0R1 and Nicole C2R0 next patch. With 500+ wishes, should I splurge on Lauma C1? Or should I save for the next patch and possibly the next region?

Thanks!

Nefer and Wanderer are by far my favorite characters. But I'm torn on which support's C2 I should prioritize.

I have a total of 450 pulls, so I could technically aim for both. But I also would like to pull for Durin's R1 and Nicole next patch; they seem to be huge upgrades.

Lauma C2 would help "future-proof" my Nefer and provide fantastic comfort over my current Kuki 4th slot. I also heard that Lauma's C1 greatly improves the team's exploration abilities.

On the other hand, Durin' C2 would finally elevate my Wanderer's (C2) damage to modern levels. Paired with Nicole, my Wanderer will become actually playable in end game content without getting knocked around.

I understand that this sub is biased towards Nefer. But which constellation would you recommend? Thanks.
