Are there situations where C2 Durin is better than C2 Nicole?
What the title says. Just to be clear, in case a low-spender or saver wants to vertically invest, and/or get Prune cons after having both C0R0 Durin + C0R0 Nicole and keep pulling until C2/C6. No weapon banner because of tight primos or Prune cons. It would be better (even for most non-Varka teams) to build pity or hunt for cons on Nicole's banner, right? I still see some people swearing on C2 Durin even now, but I see more big TCs recommending Nicole's. Is there any DPS or team/archetype who likes Durin upgrades better besides onfield/black Durin, or there are like diminishing returns or a similar teammate or something?
In my situation, if you think it depends of accounts: I really like both characters, I (unfortunately) love two Hexerei carries, and I have the kind of semi off-meta account that would like a circleless second Benny. I'll use Durin and Nicole more often with all anemo DPS, not only Varka. I main MDPS Venti (C4R1, plan to C6), C2 Chasca, and Xiao. I'll probably play Varka and Wanderer more often now with her shield. I also have Kinich so in situations where he's good I'll definitely use him (I have no Emilie tho.) I do main Arle but rarely play OL with her. I've really wanted Durin's C2 for months but with the fewer primos lately and Snezhnaya soon I can only afford probably one investment.
Edit: I rarely use dark mode Durin since I already have vapemelt teams, but it's good to know if C2 > in that team for others who might read the post
