Neverness to Everness Playable Characters Guide

Neverness to Everness Playable Characters Guide

Hotta Studio’s Neverness to Everness (NTE) is quickly earning its place alongside the genre’s heavy hitters, thanks to its urban open-world setting and robust, ever-evolving cast of Espers. If you’re just stepping into the city’s anomaly-ridden depths, you’ve landed in the right place. This guide explains every currently available character, how to unlock them, the latest banner rotations, and how to optimize your early pulls.

Refer to the Neverness to Everness news hub for patch notes, fresh events, and more guides.

At a Glance: Playable Characters (Patch 1.0, as of 2026-05-13)

• Hotori is now the featured S-Class character (Misty Tipsy banner, ends 2026-06-03 UTC)
• Nanally is no longer available as of 2026-05-12
• Aurelia and Haniel are the easiest S/A-Class Espers to unlock for F2P
• Most S-Class Espers require targeting rate-up banners or patience with standard pulls
• Pity is 90 pulls for an S-Class, guaranteed rate-up at hard pity, no 50/50 split
• Dice currencies are rare—manage Annulith and pulls carefully

The NTE character pool is split across two primary banners:

Should You Pull Hotori? (Misty Tipsy, 2026-05-12 to 2026-06-03)

Hotori is NTE’s latest event-limited S-Class. She brings tactical time manipulation, making her a rare option for both aggressive and support-oriented Cosmos teams. Thanks to the game’s direct pity system, she’s guaranteed on or before your 90th Misty Tipsy pull (counter persists across event banners — any unsuccessful pulls on Nanally's prior event count toward Hotori).

Pull Hotori if:
– You want the strongest current Cosmos Esper
– You missed Nanally (no rerun timeline announced)
– You’re planning on staying F2P and will only target one flagship character per event cycle
– You prefer guaranteed outcomes (NTE is uniquely generous compared to 50/50 gacha rivals)

Skip if:
– You’re low on Annulith/dice and can’t reasonably hit 90 pity during this banner
– You already secured Hotori or your team composition doesn’t value Cosmos synergy
– You plan to save for rumored future banners (Unconfirmed — subject to change)

Notes:
– Non-featured characters on event banners are A-Class and typically not impactful enough to justify pulls on their own for most teams.
– Unlocking new outfits is a fun bonus, but most are cosmetic only.

Events & Early Rewards

• Aurelia is a must-grab for all players: simply log in three days after account creation
• Haniel was a global pre-registration reward—still pullable from both current banners
• Chiz is a longer-term goal, requiring City Tycoon Rank 18; focus on story/quests to unlock

Save all premium currencies for rate-up (Misty Tipsy) if you care about a specific S-Class; standard pulls are best reserved for Annulith trickle and not worth over-investing at launch for F2P/low spenders.

Core Gacha System & Pity Explained

• S-Class pity: 90 pulls (counter shared by event/standard of same type)
• No off-rate/50-50 split: Guaranteed the featured S-Class at hard pity
• Currency: Annulith (spend at 160 for a pull — save up, costly to rush)
• Event pulls (Red Dice) are rare; save until you can safely hit pity before a banner ends
• A-Class and duplicate pulls advance passive skills/awakenings for each character

Rerolling: While rerolling accounts is possible, the early-game free S- and A-Class Espers are solid enough for most new or returning players. If you’re min-maxing, consider waiting for the next event banner unless you love Hotori’s style or kit.

Early Team-Building & Easy Mistakes to Avoid

• Don’t spend Annulith on standard pulls unless you’re unconcerned about missing event S-Class Espers
• Focus on assembling a team of different Arc Types (Solid, Liquid, Plasma, Gas, Synthesis) to cover more scenarios
• For F2P: Prioritize free Espers for early progress — Mint, Haniel, Adler, Aurelia, Chiz
• Level up and awaken characters with duplicate pulls for passive boosts
• Skip limited "outfit gacha" unless you’re satisfied with your core combat lineup

F2P/Low-Spend Week One Objectives

• Complete main story through City Tycoon Rank 18 (unlock Chiz)
• Log in three consecutive days (unlock Aurelia)
• Check mailbox for global/promo rewards (Haniel)
• Save all Annulith for the event banner; only pull if you can reach S-Class pity
• Experiment with different Arc Types to understand what fits your playstyle
