NTE Tier List : Best Characters in Neverness to Everness (Version 1.2)
The definitive Version 1.2 tier list for Neverness to Everness (NTE), ranking every confirmed character from T0 to T2 based on kit analysis, team synergy, and content versatility. Updated regularly as new characters release and the meta evolves.
How the Tier System Works
| Tier | Meaning |
|---|---|
| T0 | Meta-defining. No obvious weaknesses. Priority pulls for optimized accounts. |
| T0.5 | Excellent. Strong in almost every situation. Tiny gap below T0. |
| T1 | Solid. Real strengths but comes with conditions: skill ceiling, niche role, or specific playstyle. |
| T2 | Viable. Clears content, but outclassed in harder endgame. Not useless, just limited. |
| T3 | Situational. Limited ceiling or very niche role. Still functional in the right team. |
Keep in mind that NTE is an action game where each character has a distinct playstyle, difficulty level, and unique mechanics. It is also a team-based game — a character's true potential only comes out when combined with the right partners and played at a high level. This tier list was built with input from multiple players who tested characters in both story and endgame content.

NTE Tier List — FAQ
Who is the best character in NTE in Version 1.2?
Chaos is the strongest overall character in Version 1.2 and sits at T0. Shinku follows closely at T0.5, making her an excellent pull for Cosmos DPS with her signature arc Blushing Mirage. Lacrimosa and Chiz (A3+) also rank at T0 for specific content.
Is Shinku worth pulling in NTE?
Yes. Shinku is a T0.5 main DPS in Version 1.2 with exceptional Cosmos DMG and CRIT scaling. Her Surging Crimson burst window deals massive single-target damage. She is a limited character, so pull her if you want a top-tier DPS before her banner ends.
What is the best team in Neverness to Everness for Version 1.2?
The strongest Version 1.2 team pairs Shinku as main DPS with Hathor for Cosmos synergy, Sakiri for Scorch support and buffs, and Iroi or Haniel as the flex/healer slot. Chaos-centric teams running Chaos with Jiuyuan and Hathor are also top-tier.
How often is the NTE tier list updated?
This tier list is updated with every new NTE version. The current ranking reflects Version 1.2 data with real in-game testing. Check back after each patch for updated placements.
Should I pull for meta or for fun in NTE?
Pull for fun first. Meta changes with each patch and new character releases. A character you enjoy will consistently outperform a meta pick you are forcing. That said, Chaos and Shinku are both top-tier and enjoyable to play.
This tier list is updated regularly as new characters release and community data comes in.
