The inclusion of Nico Minoru in Marvel's Midnight Suns is both an exciting and confusing thing for her fans. The Staff of One, her weapon, isn't supposed to be able to cast the same spell twice. That randomness feels like it could overturn the balance of a deck-builder. It can, but players can leverage the odds in their favor with the right cards in her deck.
This is just one way to succeed with Nico Minoru in Marvel's Midnight Suns. The game can be beaten on the hardest difficulties with many builds and Nico is an especially divisive hero. This is one way for players to love her abilities, but if gamers are experiencing success in another way, they should be perfectly validated by their victories.

While some categorize Nico Minoru as a support hero, too many overlook her virtually uncapped damage possibilities. After softening up the elite units, Nico can clear the board with either Witchfire+ or Crack the Sky+, the latter of which will refund most of the Heroism expended.
A pure support deck with her is possible, but given that her healing and buffs are random, it's not dependable. Players have a great deal of control over enemy health and can actually turn Nico into one of the most consistent damage dealers in the game. In conjunction with The Hunter's best deck, she'll easily have enough heroism and card plays for her full power.
Nico can get even more consistency after modding these cards for some guaranteed perks.
