Esper Cycle Guide

Esper Cycle guide for NTE (Neverness to Everness). Guide includes Esper Cycle, elemental reaction effects, how to activate, buffs provided, and how to use the Esper Cycle.

What is an Esper Cycle?

Esper Cycle Provides Additional Effects

In NTE combat, an "Esper Cycle" is a powerful additional effect that activates when characters are swapped via entry attack. The effect that activates differs depending on the Esper Ability combination of the two swapped characters.

How to Activate Esper Cycles

When you deal damage to an enemy and their Cycle Rate is maxed out, a special effect will appear on the character's icon. The Esper Cycle corresponding to the characters' Esper Ability combination will activate when an attack hits an enemy upon swapping to the character with the effect.

Only Occurs Between Adjacent Esper Abilities

Esper Cycles will only activate when "adjacent Esper Abilities" are combined on The Circle, which depicts all 6 Esper Ability types. It will not activate if you swap to a character with a distant Esper Ability, such as one on the opposite side, so be careful when building your team.

Esper Cycle Effects

Increases Esper Ability Damage

Among the Esper Cycle effects, there are also buffs and debuffs that strengthen specific Esper Abilities, such as those that "increase the Esper Ability damage taken by the enemy." Aim for efficient combat by using characters that are well-suited for the activated effect.

Become Even Stronger with Circle Chain Enhancement

Characters have their own Circle Chain Enhancement. The enhancement effects vary, but one option is to prioritize characters in your formation whose enhancements you find appealing among the Esper Abilities you're using.

Circle Chain Enhancement is Unlocked at Breakthrough Level 2

To unlock Circle Chain Enhancement, you must first reach character Breakthrough level 2, then unlock the second Support Skill to unlock the ability. Breakthrough level can be raised according to your Appraiser level.

Basic Esper Cycles (6 Types Total)

6 Effects Activated by Adjacent Esper Abilities

This is a list of the 6 basic Esper Cycle effects that are activated by pairs of adjacent Esper Abilities. By building a party with similar Esper Abilities and rotating entry attacks, you can apply unique buffs and deal damage to gain an advantage in battle.

Esper Cycle: Blossom

An attack is generated from the Vita Pistil every 2 seconds. The resulting attack has a long range and homes in on targets, making it very user-friendly.

Esper Cycle: Hexed

For 12 seconds after Hexed is applied, additional damage will be added to Anima and Incantation Esper Ability damage. It's a good idea to pair this with characters who have a fast attack speed.

Esper Cycle: Scorch

This is an Esper Cycle similar to burn or poison effects in other games, causing a small amount of damage every second.

Esper Cycle: Nova

A large amount of damage is dealt 5 seconds after Nova is applied. While waiting for the damage to trigger, it's easy to identify the afflicted enemy as they will have a blue effect on them.

Esper Cycle: Stain

While the Stain effect is active, Psyche and Lakshana Esper Ability damage is increased. Use an attacker with a matching Esper Ability to rack up damage. While active, the enemy will have a blue lightning-like effect.

Esper Cycle: Remora

Remora is a status that slows all enemy actions for 5 seconds. It's powerful, but be aware of its drawbacks, such as messing up your Dodge timing.

Composite Esper Cycles (2 Types Total)

Activates When Two Esper Cycles Combine

When specific Esper Cycles are applied simultaneously, an even more powerful composite effect will activate. You can intentionally trigger this by building your team with the three Esper Abilities from either the top half (Cosmos, Anima, Lakshana) or the bottom half (Chaos, Psyche, Incantation) of The Circle.

Composite Esper Cycle: Charge

Each time a Vita Bud hits, it restores the Ultimate Energy needed for an Ultimate. This is an Esper Cycle you'll want to prioritize for characters with powerful Ultimates.

Composite Esper Cycle: Discord

This is a simple effect that significantly depletes the Break gauge. Considering that damage dealt during a Break is increased, this is a powerful effect.
