NTE Tier List Character Update

NTE Version 1.0 Update

Character	Details
Zero	Zero is a very F2P character since you can get all their build for free, like their Day Off Arc in NTE. They also have the Cosmos element, on top of being able to instantly fill the Cycle Gauge, which allows them to match perfectly with Lakshana and Anima characters. They also slightly heal their team, which is a nice addition. For now, Zero is an S-Tier Sub-DPS character.
Adler	Adler is a decent support character that offers a shield for his team alongside a small DoT. He works well in DoT teams that depend on the Scorch and Discord elemental reactions in NTE. Because of his shield and slight utility, Adler is an A-Tier support character.
Aurelia	It’s hard to play Aurelia as a Sub-DPS since her playstyle demands so much field time. However, she’s still capable of dealing a lot of damage when she has a team supporting her. Aurelia and her jellyfish are a B-Tier Main DPS in NTE.
Baicang	Baicang is a strong main DPS that can participate in every team that needs an Incantation character. He also works well with characters like Skia, Fadia, and Lacrimosa in future updates. His ability to deal DoT damage allows him to team well with characters like Sakiri, who is one of the best characters in NTE. Baicang is an A-Tier Main DPS character.
Chiz	Chiz works well as a Main DPS, especially because of her Cosmos element and her ability to further benefit from the Charge Esper reaction. She’s a little bit complicated because she requires slight Grain management and pressing on time. Overall, Chiz can lead the team’s DPS without issues, which makes her an A-Tier Main DPS in NTE. However, given that players will get all her Awakenings for free, she will easily climb her way into the S-Tier.
Daffodil	Daffodil is an excellent Sub-DPS unit that has an entire kit that revolves around constantly getting on and off the field. She really works around her teammates while also enhancing their time on the field. The best part about her gameplay is her mechanics that buff her Break damage while being a Chaos character, which also gives her easy access to the Discord reaction, which further enhances the Break gameplay. Daffodil is an S-Tier Sub-DPS in NTE.
Edgar	Edgar is a great healer who can offer a team-wide healing during combat. Unfortunately, he doesn’t offer anything beyond that, which puts him immediately in the lowest tiers in games like NTE.
Fadia	Fadia is a very useful off-field DPS who can also shield the team at the same time. Her kit is a bit complicated because of how she redirects damage to herself, and then she needs to heal herself. Fadia also deals Mental damage, which pairs well with her passive that buffs the Nova Esper Cycle. Unfortunately, she doesn’t offer faster cycles with her team, which puts her slightly under other characters in this tier list.
Haniel	Haniel is the straight ATK% buffer that works with almost every single character in NTE. As an A-Class character, you can get Haniel’s Awakenings easily, which further increases her utility, especially her buff’s uptime. Haniel is definitely an S-Tier support in NTE.
Hathor	Hathor is an amazing Sub-DPS unit in NTE. After casting her Ultimate, she gains access to some of the best DPS in the game. One of her most important abilities is her passive, which increases the Remora duration to up to 12 seconds. That allows her or her team to fully benefit from the Charge Esper reaction in NTE. Her only downside is that you either need to play a full Charge team to gain her Ultimate back in every rotation, or team her up with another DPS to fill the downtime while she’s getting her Ult back. All in all, Hathor is an S-Tier Sub-DPS in NTE.
Jiuyuan	Jiuyuan gives her team the ability to spam Vita Buds during combat. Not to mention, she also applies a lot of DoT on targets when Vita Pistils hits enemies, which greatly increases her off-field DPS. Her damage and utility allow her to support the team as much as she deals damage, which is a rare thing to have for NTE characters. While her on-field DPS is on the lower side, her off-field damage and supportive abilities ensure Jiuyuan is an A-Tier Sub-DPS character in NTE.
Mint	Mint serves as a starter character that doesn’t offer anything beyond some low-tier damage. That’s why she’s a C-Tier character in NTE.
Nanally	Nanally has access to some of the best DPS in NTE when her Skill and Ultimate are both active at the same time. She also doesn’t require any complicated team building or rotation. A very simple approach to a very strong DPS, Nanally is an S-Tier Main DPS in NTE.
Sakiri	Sakiri is the perfect character to bring whenever you want to build a team that triggers the Scorch Esper Cycle. She does two things perfectly, which are grouping enemies and increasing the DoT they take, which easily puts her in the S-Tier rank.
Skia	Skia looks cool when fighting enemies, but his damage isn’t all that cool. He needs a lot of learning and managing when it comes to stacking Fang Thrusts on enemies. But once you start understanding his kit, his damage becomes comparable to other main DPS units in NTE. For now, Skia is a B-Tier Main DPS Esper.
