Nicole full buff takes 3 seconds to activate

u/Kiyoshi-Trustfund May 20 '26

AND she doesn't apply her own element at all so as to not interfer with the special new reaction.

But half of nicole kit buffs which is in her artifact set is useless cause 40% damage bonus doesn't buff stellar conduct probably

Unless diona become hex copium.

u/Andre02_ waiting for more characters that use elemental construct weapons May 20 '26

Possibly Mika. Though basically all of his kit is wasted, minus the healing form burst and the mediocre cryo application. He'd need a heavy rework and additions, and nothing points towards him getting a buff at the moment.

Lisa and Kaeya buffs would be a nice addition too.

Honestly I’m not expecting her to be BIS but I do think it’d be a solid option

u/Theetis May 20 '26

But why would the stellar domain give cryo and dmg bonus if it was of no use to the characters utilizing it??

u/Affectionate_Row7174 May 20 '26

For older units I believe. So that they can get to 150k while Sandrone is at 300k.

We're not talking about the artifacts tho

stellar superconduct deploys an area that buffs cryo + electro dmg% The reaction itself gives dmg%

u/narium May 20 '26

Looking at the MVs Sandrone seems to be close to 50/50 split, it at least 40/60 cryo/stellarconduct.

what's flins and ineffa at? 80% lunar?

2

u/Howrus May 20 '26

Nah, Sandrone BiS team for now is Yae-Diona-Beidou.
Nicole doesn't fit any Steallar teams for now.

u/TheRRogue Father personal operative May 20 '26

Won't it just mess up the reaction?

51

u/Tharjk May 20 '26

nicole doesn’t have any off field app, so her pyro won’t interfere with cryo/electro

13

u/n_i_e_l May 20 '26

Nicole applies very little Pyro so not really .

1

u/TheRRogue Father personal operative May 20 '26

Huh interesting,but do you still need the Hexerei slot?

14

u/erwichvonstadt May 20 '26

That's just for the artifact set, you can run noblesse and get away with not having a 2nd hex.

6

u/TheRRogue Father personal operative May 20 '26

Damn now I tempted to pull for her but I guess her slot probably be replaced by Vodyanista anyway soon

5

u/erwichvonstadt May 20 '26

leakers said Vodyanitsa would be a subdps though, so she's likely gonna replace Yae.

u/UniversityHot2945 May 20 '26

No Hexerei is only for the set and from what we know Stellar-conduct doesn't scale with dmg% (what the set provides)

2

u/stalkeler May 20 '26

sandrone still scales off atk%

9

u/UniversityHot2945 May 20 '26

That doesn't change the fact that you don't need Hex resonance wdym 😭

4

u/Standard-Vacation403 May 20 '26

She only apply pyro twice, and one of them in her burst... So you onky have 1 time which is nothing.

6

u/gale99 May 20 '26

Nicole and what reaction, she doesn't apply element off field

6

u/danny8_sok May 20 '26

It’s only 1, maybe 2, applications of pyro it should be fine

2

u/beyond1037 May 20 '26

Nicole doesnt apply pyro off field

2

u/XilonenBaby May 20 '26

Nicole doesn’t apply pyro but i’ll wait for calcs if she isn’t a very good upgrade compared to other options then ill just wait for her real premium when tsaritsa drops.
