Who are Neverness to Everness (NTE) characters?
There are currently 14 playable characters in NTE, with several more teased for future updates. Below is a breakdown of all revealed characters, including their stats and methods of obtaining them.
Zero
- Rarity: S-Class
- Esper Type: Cosmos
- Archetype: Solid
- Combat Roles: Damage, Instant Cycle, Burst DPS
- How to obtain: [FREE] Default character
You begin the game as Zero, the protagonist of the story, available as either a male or female character depending on the player’s choice. According to the lore, Zero awakened before the events of the story began.
Mint
- Rarity: A-Class
- Esper Type: Anima
- Archetype: Liquid
- Combat Roles: Damage, Main DPS (AOE)
- Affiliation: Bureau of Anomaly Control’s Containment Unit 2
- How to obtain: [FREE] Finish the Prologue / The Ichi-daime limited banner
Mint is recognised for her turquoise hair with sharp pink eyes and cat-like features. Many are already calling her the “waifu” of NTE, a title she certainly seems designated for. However, she is considered one of the weaker A-Class characters for combat. She'll be useful in the early game, but you'll find yourself opting for other stronger characters later on.
Nanally
- Rarity: S-Class
- Esper Type: Anima
- Archetype: Plasma
- Combat Roles: Damage, Main DPS, Follow-up Attack
- How to obtain: The Ichi-daime limited banner
Nanally stands out with her bright red hair and nerdy, clumsy demeanor–which funnily contrasts with her fist-full melee combat. She is widely regarded as the strongest character in NTE so far.
Nanally is available through the Ichi-daime limited banner, which runs until 14 May 2026. Players can guarantee her by accumulating 75–90 pulls regardless of the 50/50 outcome.
Adler

- Archetype: Bose
- Combat Roles: Survival, Shield, DOT
- Affiliation: Eibon Antique Shop
- How to obtain: [FREE] Progress to Eibon Antique Shop in the main story / The Ichi-daime limited banner
Adler carries a calm and collected presence, but his fighting style is anything but–wielding his cane as a weapon that actually fires gunshots. He serves as a durable tank thanks to his shielding abilities, making him a strong addition to any starter team. You’ll meet him early on in the game as you progress through the main story.
Daffodil
- Rarity: S-Class
- Esper Type: Chaos
- Archetype: Liquid
- Combat Roles: Damage, Burst DPS, Break Boost
- Affiliation: Eibon Antique Shop
- How to obtain: Standard Banner
Daffodil brings an elegant presence, with black hair accented with distinctive blue highlights. In combat, she wields a pair of gladius-like swords and is considered one of the strongest damage-dealers for your starting roster.
Hathor
- Rarity: S-Class
- Esper Type: Lakshana
- Archetype: Plasma
- Combat Roles: Damage, Burst DPS
- Affiliation: Sterry Express
- How to obtain: Standard banner
Hathor features celestial-like aesthetics with a single functional wing on one side that makes her stand out. She works in delivery as an operative of Sterry Express, which may explain the superbike featured in her ultimate animation. Her combat style blends martial arts-inspired movements with occasional aerial manoeuvres.
Jiuyuan
- Rarity: S-Class
- Esper Type: Anima
- Archetype: Solid
- Combat Roles: Damage, Burst DPS, Control
- Affiliation: Sterry Express
- How to obtain: Standard banner
One glance at Jiuyuan and you’ll know she’s the designated “mommy” of NTE’s lineup right now. She has a mature vibe, sporting a large sun hat and dark purple accents. In combat, she fights as a poised gunner wielding dual revolvers. While she deals decent damage, she is not quite among the strongest characters in the roster.
Baicang
- Rarity: S-Class
- Esper Type: Incantation
- Archetype: Synthesis
- Combat Roles: Damage, Main DPS, DOT
- Affiliation: Bureau of Anomaly Control (ETD-4)
- How to obtain: Standard banner
Baicang, the captain of ETD-4, seems like the most popular male character in NTE right now. He has a calm demeanor with distinctive side braids. While his whole aesthetic sees white-themed fit, his combat abilities feature vivid crimson theme with swarming red butterflies, an occurring theme within his aesthetics as he also sports a butterfly brooch on his collar.
Fadia
- Rarity: S-Class
- Esper Type: Psych
- Archetype: Synthesis
- Combat Roles: Survival, DMG Redirection
- Affiliation: Bureau of Animal Control (ETD-4)
- How to obtain: Standard banner
Fadia has a distinctive goth-punk aesthetic, and her weapon is perhaps the most unique in the lineup–a massive cross-shaped shield that she uses both defensively and offensively. She plays as a mix of support and tank, making her quite unique in NTE’s current roster.
Edgar
- Rarity: A-Class
- Esper Type: Cosmos
- Archetype: Liquid
- Combat Roles: Survival + Healing
- Affiliation: Eibon Antique Shop
- How to obtain: Standard banner / The Ichi-daime limited banner
Edgar is the youngest boy in the starting roster, appearing as a diligent student who attacks with whatever he learnt from the academy and at certain points, attacks using his heavy backpack. He is a supporting member though heavily outshined by other similar characters.
Skia
- Rarity: A-Class
- Esper Type: Lakshana
- Archetype: Gas
- Combat Roles: Damage
- Affiliation: Bureau of Animal Control (ETD-4)
- How to obtain: Standard banner
Skia is a tall anthropomorphic half-wolf, half-human character with a stoic demeanour, befitting his role as a lieutenant within the Bureau of Animal Control. His moves are inspired by martial arts and one of his standout abilities allow him to sink into his own shadows to have brief flexible movement and invulnerability.
Haniel
- Rarity: A-Class
- Esper Type: Psyche
- Archetype: Solid
- Combat Roles: Support, Buff + DMG Boost
- Affiliation: Sterry Express
- How to obtain: [FREE] Default first pull after unlocking the gacha system
Haniel is portrayed as a modern, youthful character with gaming aesthetics. This carries over into her combat style, where her owl-like android companion, Hootie, and flashy visual effects evoke arcade game visuals and sound effects. Haniel would be a decent choice for your starting squad, especially since she is a free support character who performs well in the early game.
Chiz
- Rarity: S-Class
- Esper Type: Cosmos
- Archetype: Gas
- Combat Roles: Damage, Main DPS
- Affiliation: Dvorak Family
- How to obtain: [FREE] Reach Rank 18 in City Tycoon
Chiz, a very popular character from the starting roster, features a soft pink colour theme and wields a kendama-like weapon that triggers coin animations during attacks. She is currently one of the strongest characters in NTE. Excitingly, she is also one of the free S-Class characters offered, although you’ll need to do a bit of grinding in City Tycoon to obtain her.
Sakiri
- Rarity: S-Class
- Esper Type: Incantation
- Archetype: Gas
- Combat Roles: Buff, Control, DMG Boost
- Affiliation: Eibon Antique Shop
- How to obtain: Standard banner / free S-Class selector
If you spot a tiny person running around, that is none other than Sakiri. Contrasting her petite size, she wields a massive Anomaly hammer named Kiroumaru, which she uses to smash enemies and swing with force. She is widely regarded as the strongest support character available early on through the standard banner.
Aurelia

- Esper Type: Psyche
- Archetype: Unknown
