I agree in a prolonged match this is definitely true but that is not the point of matching a GOG with R&G. So yest the upper limit is better with Nico but more than likely never going to be seen due to the speed of the R&G and GOG pairings. We should probably have a number cruncher figure out how many rounds it takes for that difference to occur with various buffers. That might be a good post somewhere down the road.Aion I think you made the right choice, Nico is more flexible and easily one of the best supports in the game Yandu is a little more limited on the teams he can fit on even though he is a solid character.
To me Yondu is the Squirrel Girl of the 4* tier. Not hated, but has a cult following of supporters. They both have a nice nuke, an overcosted but decent power and a horrible yellow. Like SG, I have a hard time finding a team for Yondu (Sure there's R&G but I rather use Gamora or SL)
Overall I would pick Nico. She is a very good support character. She has a unique skillset with buffering tiles, true heal, stun, CD remover. Whereas, Yondu has a great blue, some AP denial but not much else.

I Believe the English equivalent is "opinions are like ****" by the way.

I just calculated how long it would take for Nico's boost to exceed the boost from a fellow Guardian. That would happen on turn 3, assuming no one is boosted (or both Grocket and Nico being boosted). Didn't really include the possibility that some strike tiles might be lost Before turn 3 though. I Think the bottom line stands: For drawn-out fights Nico will probably provide a bigger boost, for fast fights a fellow Guardian is better.
