Description

Profile update: This profile is still being completed. Some hero stats and equipment details are not included yet. The shard table is an estimate based on earlier Legendary generations. We will update the profile when reliable information becomes available in the game or online.

Nikola is a Generation 18 Legendary Lancer whose electrical attacks combine disruption with damage that spreads beyond a single target. The design has a cost as well as an advantage: the area discharge also damages Nikola.

Electrical control with a self-damage trade-off

The hero-battle kit includes area paralysis, a separate single-target electrical strike, and a chance for normal attacks to conduct damage to nearby enemies. The area discharge’s paralysis lasts one second, while its repeated damage continues over two seconds.

Editorial recommendation: watch Nikola’s Health alongside the number of enemies disrupted. A large damage total is only part of the result when an ability also harms its user. Assess whether the rest of the lineup can take advantage of the interruption and keep Nikola active through later exchanges.

Lancer attacks support the wider formation

In Expedition, Nikola lowers enemy Attack and adds extra damage to Lancer attacks. Those attacks also reduce their target’s Defense for one turn. A separate support effect benefits friendly Infantry and Marksmen, improving damage output and reducing damage taken.

This makes troop composition important to the evaluation. The attacking Lancers and the classes receiving the separate support effect are different groups. Compare what each class contributes to the whole march rather than treating every bonus as a personal Lancer improvement.
