High AP build. ATK Disc 6 gives the best damage output, although the buildup becomes a bit sluggish. With Nicole, its advised to not use PEN disc 5 as it clashes with DEF shred.

Agent 3




High ER and 2pc Phaethon is important for Nicole ether anomaly buildup, as she also need to hold her EX to build enough anomaly in the fight. using her basic attack / dash attack for active energy generation in the rotation is important.

How to Play & Additional Tips
To get fast clear time againts the clown, we can do a miasmic phase skip by keep interrupting it so it doesn't change phase. The most crucial part is at around 0:30-0:40s where the clown will telegraph its about to teleport. Shocking with yanagi or using ultimate will stagger it for a bit.
The flow of the fight will be on fielding Yanagi to build shock and proc polarity disordes, and getting defensive assist with Yuzuha for daze, decibels, and anomaly meter.
Yanagi main damage output comes from her (1) polarity disorder and (2) electric disorder.
Disorder damage depends on agent stats (AP, ATK, DMG, PEN, etc) and time (how much time the disorder need to be proc from the attribute anomaly trigger). Time variable is the part where the rotation will be optimized around. (Example: if Yuzuha proc assault 7s after Yanagi shock, the damage will be lower than if Yuzuha proc assault 3s after)
Making sure
Nicole's Energy field present whenever Yanagi proc polarity / electric disorder is really important for Nicole DEF shred debuff and
The Vault DMG buff.
Polarity disorder also carry this time dependency. so, the best time to use Yanagi EX is right after she proc shock, that is using her EX when the enemy shock meter is full, so her dash animation in her EX will proc the frost, and her thunder drop that triggers the polarity disorder will get the lowest possible disorder time. ITS REALLY IMPORTANT for the polarity hits only when enemy on shock, if it hits the enemy on assault or corruption, the damage will be way lower as Yuzuha and Nicole is not on proper AP build.
Electric disorder will be a bit tricky to do on double support team. compared to double anomaly team where Yanagi disorder partner (Ex:
Burnice or
Vivian) will be ready to proc disorder back-to-back with her, here, Yuzuha and Nicole will take some time to build their own respective anomaly meter. While helped by Yuzuha aftershock, Nicole best way to build ether anomaly is by holding her EX to get as long of a duration on the energy field. this also needs she will need a lot of energy, so basic attack for energy in the rotation is important. To proc corruption on the already full ether meter, Nicole needs to go back on field and inflict a bit more ether anomaly either by QA, hold basic, special/EXspecial, or ultimate, but this doesn't always consistent, sometimes she fails to proc it. this could be caused by the meter is shy a bit more to get the corruption proc, or there is still 3s anomaly internal cooldown taking place, so getting the timing will need some practice for Nicole part.
