Maritime Strategist Nichol

Maritime Strategist Nichol (洸洋の軍師ニコル, Kōyō no Gunshi Nikoru?, lit. Ocean's Strategist Nichol) is Nichol's variant for Season Two. A 5-7★ Rare Summon, he has been available since the event Where Destinies Intersect. His job is listed as Strategist and his roles are Support and Magic Damage. He has no innate element or status ailment resistances. His Trust Master reward is the Strategic Cape robe (DEF+40, MAG+52, SPR+38), which boosts the equipped unit's MP by 20%, and resistance to Ice and Water by 50%. His Super Trust Master reward is a rod called The Divine Art of War (ATK+16, MAG+151, SPR+54), which grants the passive Water God's Favor (increases HP/MP by 15%, and Leviathan's evoke damage by 75%).

His awakening materials are the following:

Limit Burst
Brave_Exvius_JP_6*_Nichol_CG_animation.

Ancient Formula (エンシェントフォーミュラ, Enshento Fōmyura?) is Maritime Strategist Nichol's Limit Burst. As one of the so-called "CG units", Nichol's Limit Burst is a powerful ability preceded by FMV-like movie that lasts about 0:08 seconds. In his debut, he wasn't voiced, but after a later update he says "Makasete kudasai... Minna ni tatakau chikara wo." (任せてください みんなに戦う力を?, "Leave it to me... This is the power for everyone to fight.")

In the sequence, Nichol opens his grimoire while he adjusts his glasses, and magic runes surround him just before closing the book. He raises his arm to end the casting of the spell. Using Ancient Formula will greatly boost the party's stats (ATK, DEF, MAG, SPR) for three turns, remove stat reductions, and recover their HP and MP by 20%.

How much the party's stats increase will depend on Maritime Strategist Nichol's LB level:

Rarity Name Change in Effect Cost
5★ Ancient Formula Base (Lv. 1) Increases stats by 100% 30 FFBE Limit Burst crystal
Max (Lv. 20) Increases stats by 119%
6★ Ancient Formula Base (Lv. 1) Increases stats by 110% 36 FFBE Limit Burst crystal
Max (Lv. 25) Increases stats by 134%
7★ Ancient Formula Base (Lv. 1) Increases stats by 120% 40 FFBE Limit Burst crystal
Max (Lv. 30) Increases stats by 150%


Equipment

FFBE Unknown Rod 3

The Divine Art of War

Maritime Strategist Nichol can equip the following weapon types: daggers, staves, rods and instruments.

He can equip the following armor types: hats, clothes, light armor and robes.

He can equip accessories.

Equpping his Trust Master reward (the robe Strategic Cape), or his Super Trust Master (the The Divine Art of War rod) in the JP version, triggers his Trust Ability "Defense Force Stratagem", which nullifies Confuse, and increases his DEF/SPR/HP by 20% and esper's bonus stats by 20%.
