Dupes / advancement

Rank 1 Supercharged Bomb

The DMG and the Anomaly Buildup inflicted by Nicole's EX Special Attack increases by 16%. For each additional 0.1s of charging when Nicole activates her EX Special Attack, the duration of the energy field created at the target location increases by 0.15s "I've juiced you all up! Go get 'em!" "Huh? I—I wasn't slacking off, I swear — I just needed a break!"

Rank 2 Charging Device

Nicole recovers 5 Energy when Core Passive: Mechanical Case's debuff is triggered. This effect can trigger once every 15s. "Never underestimate the value of a single second!" "Do you have any idea how much extra I can squeeze out of just one second? It's unfathomable!" "So, can I get a productivity bonus? How about 10%, huh?"

Rank 3 A Hare's Cunning

Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2 Without overpowering might or abundant resources, Nicole depended on her own sharp mind to bring the Cunning Hares to where they are today.

Rank 4 Field Expansion

When Nicole uses her EX Special Attack, Chain Attack, or Ultimate, the diameter of the energy field generated at the target location is increased by 3m. "This, and this too — all of this will soon become the Cunning Hares' territory. Do you hear me!" "W—What? How soon?" "Uh... in about ten thousand years, based on current revenue projections."

The duration of each stack is calculated separately. A switch to higher quality ammo with better firepower and increased compressed Etheric Matter leads to higher damage, longer use duration... and higher costs.
