Nikolai common builds tier list (In my opinion)

[Meio]

Disclaimer: This is my own opinion, it's not general opinion. Not want to create drama or argue wars.

S+ Tier - Low cost creatures + Low cost guns and auto turrets (with turret damage and cooling fans)
S Tier - Crawlers, lickers and traps + low cost or double magazine guns and auto turrets (with turret damage and cooling fans)
A+ Tier - Crawlers and traps + low cost or double magazine guns and auto turrets (with variety equip setups)
A Tier - Poison build + low cost or double magazine guns and auto turrets (with variety equip setups)
B+ Tier - Full creature build (having licker included) with berserk, bioleech and poison enhancers + tracker mines (with creature damage, poison and great bio energy recharge rate)
B Tier - Full gun build with either low cost or double magazines (with damage and cooling fans)

The reason why i consider the full gun build the worst, because it can be completely unreliable if there's at least 2 good survivors in the team. You need diversions for full potential of using Nikolai's guns. It's really not good idea using only one type of things at any mastermind anyways. I do find the low cost creatures and guns setup the best for Nikolai. You can spam creatures for either causing diversion or forcing them out from blindspots, and the guns and turrets will do the job for you. They might gain extra time for killing the creatures, but they'll waste more resources and can lose lot more time back from the turret damages. Also having both creatures lurking around and auto turrets prepared can help Nemesis hunting down the survivors much-much easier.

Seems like true, i've played aganst Nicholai with creatures and guns, it was intertaining hell, i think he wiped us then, but i was like surprised, because it was first time that i saw a Nicholai with Creatures.

lul full gun b tier lmao I play full gun since his release 154 matches 98% win rate, not sure if ultra x also uses full gun or if he has creatures in his preset but he is also sitting on a 97% win rate as far as I know with 269 matches played

You would be correct Sir or Madam. I just throw in some Infectious Tough Zombies for good measure.
