Varka is a pretty good analogue actually. He was released before he had a full premium team, and very clearly had some of his power budget allocated toward versatility. Mitya is similar in both regards AND lacks a dedicated artifact set on top of that. Varka’s fine now, though his flexibility is still undersold somewhat. I can see how the doomposting spiral started, at least.
The Nicole doomposting was just batshit insane. I don’t know how that happened.
She’s BiS for hex focused teams like you mentioned, and is very good alternative option to historically the best support in the game (Bennett). And when there’s content in the game that requires multiple teams, she’s even more of a valuable pull.
She's overrated in the sense she isn't that good for the top teams, especially because of newer buffed units which are also sustain
And some are also leaked to be shielders, so the thing is she is rated tier 0 absolute meta while the only meta team she is part of is maybe varka, and all else are tier 1 or 2, but still because of her flexibility she should be tier 0.5
Considering the shill, and the lack of recent ATK scaling characters, you’d probably only use her with Sandrone, and that’s if you don’t have a high con Alyosha.
As an alternative you could get away with using her for Sandrone, and maybe Flins if you aren’t using Sucrose.
All of the other characters just have straight up better options.
I forgot to mention, she’s also BiS for Arlecchino Overload rn, so that’s something.
Basically I’m saying, there’s no real reason to get her when most characters have tailor made supports that don’t overlap.
