Summary
Megabonk’s appeasement has made the character Noel easier to use. At the moment, he seems to have a lot of power and fills the top of the rankings.
Here are some tips on how to use Noel.

What is Noelle?
Noelle：Size increases with each level up, damage increases with the number of frozen enemies.
Noel has been reworked in v1.0.17. Previously a weak character whose duration of effect increased with each level up, it has been changed to size, an excellent status. In addition, the number of frozen enemies increases the damage dealt.
Noelle now gains Size instead of Duration per level. She also gains a damage multiplier per frozen enemy (0.02x per frozen enemy, so 50 frozen = 2x damage)
This increase in damage dealt is powerful, doubling with 50 frozen enemies. The formula is “{final damage multiplier} = 1 + (50 * 0.02)”. With the weakening of Robinette within the same patch, Noel is now becoming the strongest character.
Practice Data
I actually played it. I was able to reach the top 0.2%, although I did not pull off the anvil, so I did not have a high level of completion. In my case, I was able to survive until the last swarm at 20:12, which meant I was able to endure for 8 minutes after the strongest red ghost.
Anvil: additional status to level up weapons
The stun and freeze of a lightning strike like this stops the enemy.
Tome Build
Damage Tome: Damage UP
Cursed Tome: Increased difficulty
XP Tome: Increased experience
Khao Storm: Random status UP
The four tomes used in Noel’s builds that you see most often are the above four types. The right three slots are used a lot in the ranking, basically not only in Noel. For the last one frame, the damage tome, “size, cooldown, and rack” are possible alternatives.
Damage Tome Alternatives
Size Tome: attack range up
It works well with Frostwalker, Noel’s initial weapon. However, Noel’s size increases with level, so I think other tomes would be better if possible.
Cooldown Tome: Attack frequency increased
Noel increases damage by using items that freeze enemies to freeze them. The cooldown dome is a good match for the reason that it increases this frequency.
Lack Tome: luck UP
It increases the quality of items obtained and level-up weapons. In the current meta, racks are usually supplemented with “credit card green”, but this tome is also an option for those playing for a top 5-10% or better.
Weapon Build
In addition to the initial weapon, the Frostwalker, the four types of weapons listed above are available as options. The reasons for each are as follows
Dexecutioner: a sword that penetrates. One-hit kill with low probability.
Noel’s composition is oriented toward finally defeating the enemy by freezing and stunning him after 12 minutes of the final swarm. the red ghost that appears after 12 minutes has a very high HP and is difficult to defeat. This enemy has instant death resistance, but instant death is not ineffective, so the Dexecutioner is a good weapon to use with it.
Dice: Dice are thrown for 1-6 damage; a 6 permanently increases the weapon’s crit rate.
Dice. The dice is a throwing weapon that works well with size and is excellent for ease of use and damage scaling. In my opinion, I encourage you to fix one frame of dice because if you remove the dice, you will be left with only melee weapons and the beginning of the game will be very difficult.
Katana: It’s a sharp blade aimed at nearby enemies, man!
The katana is a very powerful close-range weapon. It works well with size and will eventually become your main source of damage.
Flamewalkers: leaving a trail of fire behind them.
Flamewalker is another close-range weapon that works well with size.
I will add if I am wrong after verifying the following myself Also, the freezing time seems to increase with the “effect time” status (before verification), which works well with Flamewalker, which increases damage as the effect time increases.
Item
Ice Cube: 20% chance of ice damage when attacking enemies, ice freezes enemies
Ice Cube is an essential item in Noel’s build. Not only does it freeze enemies to hinder their movement, but Noel has a special passive called “Damage UP by the number of frozen enemies,” which increases damage.
This item is not necessary to have at the beginning of the game, but at least by the boss of the second level, where you can score in the Enemy Rush.
Lightning Orb: 25% chance to generate lightning, stuns enemies
Since Noel’s composition has the advantage of being able to stop the enemy’s movement by freezing, the lightning stun is also useful. Unlike freezing, it does not affect damage, but it can be useful in stopping the movement of the red ghost.
Ice crystal: 7.5% chance of freezing enemies
*This item is a basic togler OFF encouragement. However, it is a common item with the effect of freezing and is easy to pick up. Therefore, if you are a casual player or want to give Noel a trial run, you should turn the appearance setting ON in Toggler.
If you are aiming for ranking, we encourage you to turn off the appearance of items in Toggler, as it will interfere with the careful selection of items and freezing is not particularly necessary in the early stages.
