The best ZZZ Nicole build

The best ZZZ build for Nicole is one that works to her strengths, i.e her Ether attribute and Support benefits, while buffing her attack. As such, Nicole is best swapped out regularly, using the Vault W-Engine to boost the attack of her squad mates.
The best Nicole build is:

W-Engine: The Vault (A-Rank) Drive Disks: Chaotic Metal (Two-piece set) Freedom Blues (Two-piece set) Hormone Punk (Two-piece set)

Best ZZZ Nicole W-Engine

The Vault is a decent ZZZ W-Engine for any Ether agent, as long as you swap squad members in and out efficiently. As a Support character, Nicole isn’t best at attack, so pairing her with a good attack character and using her to buff their damage output this way is a great way to utilize her strengths.

Best ZZZ Nicole Drive Disks

For Nicole’s six Drive Disk slots, we’ve actually chosen three two-piece sets. First off, Chaotic Metal is a great match for Nicole as it’s two-piece bonus Ether damage by 10%. This increases the damage dealt by both Nicole’s Special Attack and EX Special Attack, as well as Nicole’s Chain Attack when selected. With the Freedom Blues two-piece set on top, we further Nicole’s use of her Attribute. Finally, we’ve added Hormone Punk as a two-piece set, just to buff one of Nicole’s lower stats and make her more effective on the field.
When selecting Zenless Zone Zero Drive Disks, if you have any duplicates and are having trouble choosing, be sure to check the random base stat boost of each. For Nicole, your best general choice is any Drive Disk that increases HP, attack, or critical hit rate, as these are her weakest areas. Don’t forget to also level up and promote Nicole to boost her base stats as much as possible.
