Nico Minoru is a 1-Cost 2-Power utility card inMarvel Snapwith the On Reveal ability to cast a spell on her succeeding card. Nico was introduced to the game as part of October’s Spotlight Cache alongside Kitty Pryde and Phoenix Force. While the other two cards have already been released, Nico’s arrival came as a surprise, bringing with her a complex ability.
This guide explains how players can use her random On Reveal skills to create a formidable and consistent deck that can make an impact inMarvel Snap’s META.
How Nico Minoru Works in Marvel Snap
Nico has seven spells that shuffle at the start of each round, with the condition that none of her spells occur twice. Being an “On Reveal” card, all of Nico’s abilities activate when she is placed on the board. Furthermore, her spells impact the card played immediately after her, except for the buff ability, which doubles Nico’s own Power.
The following is a list of all her abilities:
Since each of her spells can happen once, bouncing her back to the hand won’t repeat her previous ability.
