It can be tough to choose which characters to use as you take on anomalies around the city of Hethereau. So we've put together this NTE tier list that ranks every cityrunner from S-tier down to D-, to take some of the guesswork out for you.
This isn't the only area we can help you out in. We have a list of NTE codes so you can grab some free annulith, and also guides on all the NTE banners and NTE updates, so you're never behind on what's happening in-game.
NTE tier list - version 1.1
We decide these rankings based on our personal experience with the game, as well as the general consensus from the community. However, tier lists aren't an exact science, and if we've put a character you love in the lowest tier, who cares?! Enjoy using them in your team.
As this is a live service gacha game, our rankings are bound to change frequently, so check back from time to time as we make amendments.
Here's our Neverness to Everness NTE tier list:
| Tier | Neverness to Everness character |
| S | Chaos, Hotori, Lacrimosa, Nanally, Sakiri |
| A | Baicang, Chiz, Daffodill, Haniel, Hathor, Jiuyuan, Zero |
| B | Adler, Aurelia, Fadia, Skia |
| C | Edgar, Mint |
NTE S-tier characters
Chaos
Chaos is an S-class Lakshana character who uses condensate arcs. He's available from the Forsaken Path banner and is best placed in a main DPS role alongside Cosmos and Anima characters.
Hotori
Hotori is an S-class Cosmos character who uses solid arcs. She's available from the Misty Tipsy Style banner, and excels in burst damage, fitting very well into your teams as a sub-DPS.
Lacrimosa
Lacrimosa joins the roster as a chaos-using DPS, and has a plethora of really useful talents - both in and out of battle. You can glide using her bat-shaped form and copy enemies' abilities to use for yourself.
Nanally
Nanally is an S-class character you can pick up from her limited banner, The Ichi-Daime. She's an anima character who uses plasma arcs and, on launch, was the undisputed best character in-game. We recommend using her as a main DPS.
Sakiri
Sakiri is an S-class incantation character who uses gas arcs. She's available from the S-class selector after you make your first 50 pulls, and excels in buffing damage, fitting very well into your teams as a support character.
