Beyond the Rails Guide - Location and How to Play

Beyond the Rails location and progression guide for NTE (Neverness to Everness). Learn how to clear stops, use Train Logs, and build the right teams in this endgame mode.

How to Play Beyond the Rails

Anomaly Zone North of Miguel District

Beyond the Rails in NTE is high-difficulty endgame content. Enemies are around level 60, so wait until your characters are well-developed before challenging it.

All-Day and Special Routes

The mode has the always-open "All-Day Routes" and "Special Routes" that unlock once you clear the former. Both types give rewards upon completion, so be sure to challenge them.

Fractured Circle has Permanent Stages

The Fractured Circle is comprised of 10 permanent stages that are always available. There is also the Big Owl Event where you can earn Haniel by clearing the 10th stage.

Rewards Based on Seals Collected

Each stop has three targets such as "Time Remaining: ** seconds or more," and clearing them awards Platform Seals. With 10 stages total, there are up to 30 seals available, and every 3 collected grants "Annulith" and "Train Log" as rewards.

Exchange Train Logs for Items

"Train Logs" can be exchanged at the Mall's Otherworld Salvage Station for character-strengthening "Elite Hunter Guides" and Arc-strengthening "Chaotic Dyes," among other items.

Special Routes Refresh Every 14 Days

Special Routes are updated every 14 days, with Platform Seals reset and Anomalies at each stop changed. Rewards become claimable again, so be sure to progress as far as you can again after the reset.

Tips for Clearing Beyond the Rails

Check Enemy Weaknesses

You can check the weaknesses of monsters that will appear at each stop in advance. Attacking with the weak element shortens Challenge Duration and makes targets easier to hit.

Best Party Compositions

Two Teams Required from Sixth Stop

From the Sixth Stop, both "Inbound" and "Outbound" appear, requiring two parties with no overlapping characters. The latter is a boss fight, so pick characters who can deal heavy single-target damage rather than wide-area attackers.

Check Otherworld Resonance Effects

Each route has "Otherworld Resonance" set as a stage gimmick. Buffs like "increased Basic Attack damage" are configured, so fight with these effects in mind.

Build Teams That Leverage Esper Cycle

Fielding the specified character types together activates additional skills, giving you an edge in battle. Try to trigger Esper Cycle while still including characters who hit monster weaknesses.

Esper Cycle Combinations and Effects

Use Otherworld Supply Stops on Tough Stages

At the Otherworld Supply Stop, you can spend "Shadowquill" to activate various skills. The skills you activate are only effective at that stop and cannot carry over, so save them for time-consuming stages like the "Outbound" boss from the Sixth Stop onward.

Exploit Enemy Weaknesses

In Beyond the Rails, enemy weaknesses are displayed, so build a team with characters that can exploit those weaknesses. Being mindful of Esper Cycles will also allow you to deal damage more efficiently.

Best Team for Starting Station

Recommended Formation
Esper Zero	Edgar	Nanally	Adler
Enemy Lv/Weakness	Rec. Lv	Recommended Gift
Lv43 Cosmos Incant.	Lv30+	Esper Resonance - DMG+

This team is built around Cosmos and Incantation characters, which are attributes that the enemy is weak to. By including an Anima character, you can aim to trigger the Esper Cycles: Blossom and Hexed.

Best Team for Second Stop

Recommended Formation
Esper Zero	Edgar	Hathor	Skia
Enemy Lv/Weakness	Rec. Lv	Recommended Gift
Lv46 Cosmos Laksha.	Lv30+	Esper Resonance - DMG+

This is a team built around Cosmos and Lakshana characters. You can aim to trigger the Esper Cycle Remora. We also recommend including Anima characters to trigger Charge.

Best Team for Third Stop

Recommended Formation
Esper Zero	Sakiri	Nanally	Adler
Enemy Lv/Weakness	Rec. Lv	Recommended Gift
Lv49 Cosmos Incant. Psyche	Lv40+	Esper Resonance - DMG+

This team is built around Cosmos and Incantation characters. By including Anima characters, you can also trigger Esper Cycles: Blossom and Hexed.

Best Team for Fourth Stop

Recommended Formation
Baicang	Sakiri	Daffodill	Adler
Enemy Lv/Weakness	Rec. Lv	Recommended Gift
Lv52 Incant.	Lv40+	Off-Rail Resonance - Incantation

This team is centered aroud Incantation Espers that can exploit the enemy's weaknesses. You can proc Scorch with Daffodill, but we also recommend including Anima characters for Hexed.

Best Team for Fifth Stop

Recommended Formation
Esper Zero	Edgar	Nanally	Chiz
Enemy Lv/Weakness	Rec. Lv	Recommended Gift
Lv55 Cosmos	Lv50+	Off-Rail Resonance - Cosmos

This team composition is centered around Cosmos characters. You want to trigger Blossom with Anima characters like Nanally, but we also recommend including Lakshana characters for Remora.

Best Team for Sixth Stop

Recommended Inbound Formation
Esper Zero	Sakiri	Jiuyuan	Mint
Enemy Lv/Weakness	Rec. Lv	Recommended Gift
Lv58 Cosmos Anima	Lv50+	Esper Resonance - Cycle Intensity
Recommended Outbound Formation
Nanally	Hathor	Chiz	Haniel
Enemy Lv/Weakness	Rec. Lv	Recommended Gift
Lv58 Anima Laksha.	Lv50+	Esper Resonance - DMG+

Inbound Strategy

Favor using Esper Zero and Jiuyuan, whose attacks affect a wide range and can exploit weaknesses. Mint's Blossom is also ideal for defeating multiple enemies. Including Sakiri allows you to apply buffs and restrain mobs.

Outbound Strategy

Fight with Nanally and Hathor as your main units. Use Chiz for Charge procs, and rack up damage with Hathor's Cyclone Strike during damage windows.

Best Team for Seventh Stop

Recommended Inbound Formation
Jiuyuan	Nanally	Hathor	Esper Zero
Enemy Lv/Weakness	Rec. Lv	Recommended Gift
Lv60 Anima Laksha.	Lv55+	Omnidirectional Vortex
Recommended Outbound Formation
Daffodill	Sakiri	Baicang	Fadia
Enemy Lv/Weakness	Rec. Lv	Recommended Gift
Lv60 Cosmos Chaos	Lv55+	Esper Resonance - DMG+

Inbound Strategy

Fight with Jiuyuan as the main DPS as she can exploit weaknesses. Hathor acts as a secondary attacker since her range is narrow outside of her Ultimate and Cyclone Strike, so tag her in when her Ultimate Energy is full.

Outbound Strategy

There are numerous weaknesses present in the Outbound, so we recommend building your team around either Cosmos or Chaos. Since Cosmos was used previously, a Chaos formation may be easier to build for the Outbound. Center your team around Daffodill, and if you can, try to activate Discord as well.

Best Team for Eighth Stop

Recommended Inbound Formation
Sakiri	Baicang	Aurelia	Daffodill
Enemy Lv/Weakness	Rec. Lv	Recommended Gift
Lv62 Incant. Psyche	Lv55+	Omnidirectional Vortex
Recommended Outbound Formation
Esper Zero	Nanally	Jiuyuan	Hathor
Enemy Lv/Weakness	Rec. Lv	Recommended Gift
Lv62 Cosmos Anima	Lv55+	Esper Resonance - DMG+

Inbound Strategy

Baicang will act as the main DPS since he can land wide-range attacks and exploit weaknesses. Try to apply Scorch to multiple enemies simultaneously to make defeating them much easier.

Outbound Strategy

Prioritize keeping Nanally active and aim to proc Charge. You can rack up damage by increasing the frequency of Ultimate Skills.

Best Team for Ninth Stop

Recommended Inbound Formation
Daffodill	Fadia	Aurelia	Haniel
Enemy Lv/Weakness	Rec. Lv	Recommended Gift
Lv63 Chaos Psyche	Lv60+	Instant Judgement
Recommended Outbound Formation
Esper Zero	Nanally	Jiuyuan	Hathor
Enemy Lv/Weakness	Rec. Lv	Recommended Gift
Lv63 Cosmos Anima	Lv60+	Esper Resonance - DMG+

Inbound Strategy

This Formation is centered on Daffodill as the main DPS, activating combos with allies that can heal and buff. Since there are 3 characters Psyche characters included, try to inflict Nova on as many enemies as you can for a faster clear.

Outbound Strategy

Same as the 8th Stop, Prioritize keeping Nanally active and aim to proc Charge. You can rack up damage by increasing the frequency of Ultimate Skills.

Best Team for Terminal Station

Recommended Inbound Formation
Esper Zero	Jiuyuan	Mint	Sakiri
Enemy Lv/Weakness	Rec. Lv	Recommended Gift
Lv65 Cosmos Anima	Lv60+	Esper Resonance - Cycle Intensity
Recommended Outbound Formation
Nanally	Chiz	Hathor	Haniel
Enemy Lv/Weakness	Rec. Lv	Recommended Gift
Lv65 Cosmos Anima	Lv60+	Esper Resonance - DMG+

Inbound Strategy

Cycle between using Esper Zero and Jiuyuan, whose attacks can both hit a wide range and exploit enemy weaknesses. Mint's Blossom AoE is ideal for defeating multiple enemies. Using Sakiri also allows for buffs and disabling enemies.

Outbound Strategy

Prioritize keeping Nanally on the field. The main strategy revolves around Blossom with Chiz, and using Hathor's Cyclone Strike and Charge to maximize damage during large openings such as Breaks.
