Best Team Builds
Chaos Remora/Stain Team
This NTE party maximizes Chaos’s performance with Remora and Stain. By triggering Remora with Esper Zero while making use of Haniel’s buffs and Stain, you can deal massive damage with Chaos’s attacks.
Lacrimosa Discord Team
The strongest NTE team centers on triggering Discord through Lacrimosa's instant Esper Cycle. After fully buffing with Sakiri and Haniel, simply keep attacking with Lacrimosa. Swapping Haniel for Fadia makes the team much more effective in high-difficulty content.
Hotori Blossom Team
The strongest party in NTE is a team that uses Hotori's Redirect Skill to memorize the Blossom Esper Cycle. By replaying the memorized skill and using Hotori's Ultimate, you can deal massive damage while stopping the enemy's time.
Blossom-Focused Team
A team composition that utilizes the Blossom enhancements of Jiuyuan and Nanally. By activating Esper Zero's Instantaneous Chain Reaction, both Blossoms can be triggered simultaneously to deal damage. The Ascension effects of Zero and Jiuyuan further enhance consistency, enabling stable gameplay while sustaining high damage output.
Best Team Compositions
Best Team Comps Quick Reference
Chaos Remora/Stain Team
A build that brings out Chaos’s performance to the fullest with Remora and Stain. To capitalize on the Remora enhancements held by Chaos and Hathor, trigger Remora with Esper Zero while using Haniel’s buffs and Stain to boost Chaos’s damage.
Substitute Characters
| Skia | Swap with Hathor - Can reapply Remora - Allows building with only low-rarity units |
| Fadia | Swap with Haniel - Can distribute HP across the whole party - Excellent for high-difficulty content with heavy incoming damage |
Lacrimosa Discord Team
This is a Lacrimosa-centric team designed to trigger Discord. Using Daffodill as a Sub-DPS and a relay unit when you want to conserve Esper Cycle makes it easier to build the conditions needed to activate Discord consistently.
 Tip! | If you have unlocked the Awakening effect “Morning Spell,” activating Discord becomes easier, and Lacrimosa can also remain on the field longer, allowing for sustained combat uptime. |
|---|
Substitute Characters
| Baicang | Replaces Daffodill - Deals high damage at the cost of self-inflicted damage - Can utilize his Support Skill |
| Haniel | Replaces Fadia - Useful in offensive teams - Has a standby buff |
Hotori Blossom-Focused Team
A team that utilizes Hotori's skill memorization and Blossom enhancement. If an Esper Cycle is active when the skill is memorized, it will also activate when replayed, making this a team that excels in both sustained and burst damage.
Substitute Characters
| Mint | Swap with Jiuyuan or Nanally - Damage output will drop, but she can be a substitute - Features a Redirect Skill with a short CT |
| Haniel | Swap with Jiuyuan - Useful in an aggressive team - Has a buff that works while she is off-field |
| Hathor | Swap with Esper Zero - A team that prioritizes activating Charge - Her high burst damage is appealing |
| Sakiri | Swap with Esper Zero - A team for increasing max damage - A character you'll want to add once Hotori's Ascension is advanced |
Blossom-Focused Team
This composition focuses on the Blossom enhancements from Jiuyuan and Nanally. By activating Esper Zero's Instantaneous Chain Reaction, you can trigger both Blossoms at once for a burst of damage. With the Ascension effects of Zero and Jiuyuan, the team gains consistency, ensuring stable gameplay and high damage output.
Substitute Characters
| Mint | Swap with Jiuyuan or Nanally A viable substitute, though overall damage will be reduced |
| Haniel | Swap with Sakiri If Haniel is at A6, the composition remains viable even without her |
| Chiz | Swap with Esper Zero Can aim for Break |
| Fadia | Any Excellent for high-difficulty content |
Discord Team
This team maximizes Daffodill's Discord enhancement. When the Esper Cycle is available, use Nanally's skills, followed by Sakiri's. Then, switch to Daffodill right before an enemy Break or when you can Parry to unleash her full damage potential.
Substitute Characters
| Mint | Swap with Nanally A decent alternative, though the party's overall damage potential will be lower without Nanally's powerful buffs. |
| Adler | Swap with Sakiri Adler can increase survivability with his shields, but you'll lose out on the crucial damage buffs that Sakiri provides. |
| Aurelia | Swap with Haniel Swap with Haniel if you need more damage and can sacrifice some healing. Since Sakiri already provides buffs, the need for a dedicated healer is reduced. |
| Fadia | Any Excellent for high-difficulty content |
Charge Team
This team is designed to frequently unleash Nanally's powerful Ultimate. By activating Charge, the party builds Ultimate energy faster. Additionally, you can deal extra damage by triggering an Esper Cycle with Sakiri.
Substitute Characters
| Edgar | Swap with Esper Zero This swap weakens the party's burst potential from Instantaneous Chain Reaction but provides more flexible healing. |
| Adler | Swap with Sakiri Adler provides shields, which can increase survivability at the cost of the buffs Sakiri offers. |
| Skia | Swap with Hathor Skia can work in this slot, but the team's damage output will be noticeably reduced compared to using Hathor. |
| Fadia | Any Excellent for high-difficulty content |
Scorch-Focused Team
This team uses Baicang and Sakiri's Scorch enhancement to deal significant damage over time (DoT) to enemies.
Substitute Characters
| Adler | Swap with Sakiri Adler provides shields, which can increase survivability at the cost of the buffs Sakiri offers. |
| Aurelia | Swap with Haniel Aurelia can replace Haniel for a more offensive setup. With Sakiri already providing buffs, the team's reliance on a dedicated healer is lessened. |
| Fadia | Any Excellent for high-difficulty content |
Jiuyuan-Centered Team
This team maximizes Jiuyuan's damage over time and Blossom enhancement. The strategy involves increasing DoT with Sakiri's Scorch, then activating Jiuyuan's Blossom with Esper Zero's Instantaneous Chain Reaction for a burst of damage.
Substitute Characters
| Edgar | Swap with Esper Zero This swap weakens the party's burst potential from Instantaneous Chain Reaction but provides more flexible healing. |
| Adler | Swap with Sakiri Adler provides shields, which can increase survivability at the cost of the buffs Sakiri offers. |
| Skia | Swap with Daffodill Swapping to Skia shifts the focus to Esper Cycles and allows you to activate Charge. |
Hathor-Centered Charge & Stain Team
A team that utilizes Hathor's powerful Redirect Skill, Cyclone Strike. Activating Charge increases the frequency of activating her Ultimate, which is a prerequisite for Cyclone Strike. Activating Stain can further increase damage.
Substitute Characters
| Haniel | Swap with Fadia - An option when you want to increase the team's damage output - Can gain a buff instead of HP sharing |
| Jiuyuan | Swap with Nanally - An option if you want to include a ranged attacker - Her damage over time and burst damage are appealing |
Chiz-Centered Team
This team is designed to rapidly charge and repeatedly use Chiz's powerful Ultimate. While her Ultimate is active, Chiz increases her own charge efficiency but reduces the energy recovery of other party members. This allows her to deal sustained high damage.
Substitute Characters
| Skia | Swap with Hathor While Skia can be a substitute, the party's overall damage output will decrease. |
| Mint | Swap with Jiuyuan Using Mint as a substitute is possible, but it will result in a lower overall damage output for the team. |
ETD-4 Team
A team that utilizes Baicang's Support Skill, Moderate Working. In this team, the members of ETD-4 can fight while performing various combos. Currently, since Lacrimosa is not implemented, Daffodill is included to aim for Discord.

Lacrimosa-Centered Team
This team becomes available if you obtain the limited character Lacrimosa. While it can aim to activate Discord, the setup is difficult, so a more stable approach is to focus on activating Nova instead.
Substitute Characters
| Baicang | Replaces Adler - Deals high damage at the cost of self-inflicted damage - Can utilize his Support Skill |
| Fadia | Replaces Adler - Can further strengthen Nova - Redirect damage taken by allies onto herself |
Hotori-Centered Team
A team that's possible to build if you pull the limited character Hotori. After applying buffs with Haniel, using Hotori's Ultimate, combined with replaying a memorized skill, allows you to unleash high burst damage.
Substitute Characters
| Jiuyuan | Swap with Haniel - Becomes a Blossom-focused team with Cycle Enhancement - Her damage over time and burst damage are appealing |
| Skia | Swap with Esper Zero - For when you want to activate Charge - Has a follow-up attack using a shadow, resulting in many hits |
This is a budget-friendly comp built around three free characters. Even without Skia to activate Charge, the team performs well by focusing on the Blossom synergy between Esper Zero and Mint.
Substitute Characters
| Chiz | Swap with Esper Zero - A Cosmos Attribute attacker like Esper Zero - Capable of earning Fons |
| Hathor | Swap with Skia - A Lakshana Attribute attacker like Skia - Her high burst damage is appealing |
| Haniel | Swap with Adler - Can provide a buff instead of a shield - Can also grant an additional attack |
Nanally-Centered Blossom Team
A team that's possible to build if you pull the limited character Nanally. You'll frequently use the Blossom enhancements from Nanally and Mint with Esper Zero's Instant Chain of the Circle. It's also appealing that using the Esper Cycle with Adler makes Nanally's additional attack even stronger.
Substitute Characters
| Jiuyuan | Swap with Nanally - An Anima Attribute attacker like Nanally - Her damage over time and burst damage are appealing |
| Haniel | Swap with Adler - Can provide a buff instead of a shield - Cannot perform an Esper Cycle with Nanally |
Daffodill-Centered Discord Team
Like the team above, this one is easy to build as 3 of the characters are free. Since there's no character with Instant Chain of The Circle, aiming for Discord is difficult, but the effect when it does activate is appealing.
Substitute Characters
| Fadia | Swap with Adler - Enhances Nova instead of Discord - Can distribute HP across the entire party |
General Tips for Building a Team
Keep the Esper Cycles in Mind
Select your party members with consideration for the Esper Cycles that can be activated by your main character. Esper Cycle effects are often powerful, so building your team around them provides significant advantages.
Include Charge or Discord in Your Team
Among the Esper Cycles, Charge and Discord, which can be activated with three attributes, are particularly powerful. As a general approach, build your team to reliably activate one of these effects.
