Learn how to trigger the Esper Cycle in NTE (Neverness to Everness). We break down all 6 Attributes, enemy weaknesses, and team-building tips to dominate combat in NTE.
What Are Esper Types (Attributes)?
The 6 Unique Attributes
Every character in NTE is assigned a specific Attribute, commonly referred to as their Esper Type. The type of damage a character deals in battle is entirely determined by this attribute.
There are 6 Attributes in total:
- Cosmos
- Anima
- Incantation
- Chaos
- Psyche
- Lakshana
No Inherent Status Ailments
Unlike some other RPGs, attacking with a specific Attribute does not automatically apply unique status ailments like Burn or Freeze. Instead, Attributes are primarily used to exploit enemy weaknesses, trigger combo mechanics, and scale your character's damage through specific gear.
Combat & Training Tips
Exploit Enemy Weaknesses
Many enemies and bosses have a specific attribute as their 'weakness'. Hitting an enemy with the attribute they are weak to will significantly reduce their Break gauge. Always try to build a team that counters the boss's weakness to gain a massive advantage in combat!
Arcs and Consoles
When enhancing your characters, you'll equip them with Arcs and Consoles. Many of these items provide stats that increase the damage of a specific attribute, for example, "[Type] DMG Up". Make sure you are equipping your characters with gear that perfectly matches their Esper Type to maximize their damage output.
How the Esper Cycle Works
Combos with Adjacent Attributes
The six Attributes in NTE form a specific, interconnected ring. During battle, if you switch to a character who has an "adjacent" Attribute to the current character, you will trigger a powerful combo effect known as the Esper Cycle! Understanding this mechanic is the most important part of building an effective team.
| Attribute | Adjacent Attributes (Triggers Esper Cycle) |
|---|---|
| Cosmos | Lakshana, Anima |
| Anima | Cosmos, Incantation |
| Incantation | Anima, Chaos |
| Chaos | Incantation, Psyche |
| Psyche | Chaos, Lakshana |
| Lakshana | Psyche, Cosmos |
Esper Cycle Enhances Your Damage
When activated, the Esper Cycle provides massive combat benefits. These effects often include powerful buffs and debuffs that further enhance specific attributes, such as increasing the enemy's damage taken from those two adjacent elements.
