Intro — What this silly list is about
Welcome to my glorified opinion machine for Neverness to Everness. If you’re wandering Hethereau wondering who to pull for or who to bench forever, this little guide ranks the cast by how shiny and useful they get at max level. Think of it as a cheat-sheet for recruiting — with jokes.
Quick heads-up: this tiering is based on characters’ potential at max level, not your luck with summons or whether you fed them sushi or rare artifacts.
Tier S — The VIPs (bring them first)
These folks basically steal the spotlight. If a character is in S, they’ll carry fights, flex in most teams, and make your life easier. Prioritize them when you can.
Top picks: Hotori, Nanally, Sakiri, Lacrimosa, Chaos, Shinku, Zankou, Linko, Iroi.
Tier A — Excellent backups (very good if you don’t have S)
A-tier characters are dependable and flexible. They won’t single-handedly rewrite the meta like S heroes, but they’re solid picks and make your squad feel complete.
Solid choices: Chiz, Baicang, Esper Zero, Daffodill, Jiuyuan, Hathor.
Tier B — Niche stars and projects
B characters can shine in the right setup or with some time invested. They often need gear, synergy, or a patient player to unlock their potential. Not bad, just slightly higher maintenance.
Worth the try: Adler, Mint, Fadia, Haniel.
Tier C — Cute, but replaceable
These are the crew members you keep only if you really love them (or you enjoy a challenge). They tend to be outclassed by better options, so swap them out when stronger teammates are available.
Least recommended: Edgar, Aurelia, Skia.
Final tips — How to use this list without crying
Don’t treat this as gospel — team composition, playstyle, and event modifiers can flip things around. If someone in a lower tier fits your dream combo or makes a boss melt, use them. And remember: build what’s fun for you, not just what the internet screams at you.
