Her character design is also great, and the fact that Toyoguchi Megumi, a veteran VA, voices her makes the overall package even better.
When is Nicole Releasing?
While Hoyoverse has yet to confirm her exact release date, according to current leaks, her banner will go live during the first half of the version 6.6 update, which is May 20.
