Where Sir Nicholas helps
Worked out from the kit: each area lists what helps there (from our mode guides), and these are the matches in this champion's skills. Not a hand-made rating - gear, speed and the team matter more.
Also places a [Counterattack] buff on this Champion for 2 turns.
If Lady Noelle is on the same team, also places a [Taunt] buff on this Champion for 2 turns.

Skill texts, cooldowns and book upgrades are the game's own. "Damage" is the skill's multiplier
(for example 4×ATK = four times this champion's ATK, before the target's DEF) - see

Suggested build
A starting point worked out from Sir Nicholas's own skills - not a hand-tested build. Each line says why it was picked; your gear and team decide the rest. See what stats each champion needs.
PvE
Stat priority
HP%- Bigger HP pool to soak hits for the team.
DEF%- Every point of DEF cuts the damage taken.
SPD- Protection, taunts and buffs only help if they come in time.
RES- Shrugs off enemy debuffs.
ACC- Optional - only the A1 places [Freeze], so other stats come first.

Blessings
Chainbreaker- Keeps a key champion from being locked down by Stun, Freeze, Fear and similar effects.
Polymorph- A deterrent against enemy debuffers - best in the Arena and against ordinary enemies, not bosses.
Ward of the Fallen- Damage reduction that grows as the fight turns bad - good on a champion that must survive to keep the team's buffs and heals flowing.
Hand of Uncreation- Makes enemy debuffs, buff removal, turn-meter steals and cooldown increases land less often on the wearer - protects the champion that holds the team together.
Volcardiac Heart- Puts a protective buff on the whole team as the fight opens, which helps most when the first rounds are the dangerous ones.
Tempus Morbidia- Enemy turn-meter reduction and steals work less well on the wearer - useful where a slow support is easy prey.
