Characters Neverness to Everness

Every card on this page carries the same four tags, and each one answers a different question.

• Element — one of the 6 Esper types (Cosmos, Anima, Incantation, Chaos, Psyche, Lakshana). This tells you which other elements a character can chain with to trigger a Duo or Trio reaction, not just a flavor label.
• Rarity (S / A) — S-class sits on the limited gacha board and is generally the harder-hitting pick; A-class is easier to obtain and still fully usable, especially early.
• Class (ONE–FIVE) — this is Arc-compatibility, meaning which weapons a character can equip, not a team restriction. Two characters in different classes can stand in the same team without issue.
• Role — Main DPS, Sub-DPS, Support, or Healer. Use this tag to spot the gap in your own roster before deciding who to pull or build next.

Read all four together: a character's real value comes from how Element and Role fit a team, with Class only mattering once you're picking a weapon.

With a full roster in front of you, picking who to invest in first comes down to three checks, in order.

• Check your Main DPS first. Look at whichever S or A-class character you already have with the highest raw damage role, and commit resources to them before spreading materials thin across several half-built characters.
• Fill the missing role next. If your Main DPS has no Support or Healer to pair with, a strong solo carry still stalls out — a decent Support finished today often beats a top-tier DPS stuck half-geared.
• Only then chase Element coverage. Once role gaps are closed, look at which Esper element your team is missing to unlock a new Duo or Trio reaction, rather than pulling a character purely because their card art or numbers look impressive.

Because the character gacha board has no 50/50 — landing an S-class always gives you the exact character featured, with a shared soft pity around roll 70 and hard pity around roll 90 — the practical question when a new banner appears isn't 'will I get them,' it's 'does this character actually fix a gap I checked above.'

Two things on this roster page tend to worry new players more than they should.

• Awakening (6 levels, plus Resonance bonuses that unlock at level 3 and 6) improves a character but is not required to clear early and mid content at Awakening 0. Treat extra copies as a long-term upgrade, not a requirement to make a character usable.
• Class (ONE–FIVE) only decides which Arc a character can equip — it says nothing about who they can team with. Don't avoid a character because their class doesn't match a favorite; check Element and Role instead.

The roster keeps growing every update, so treat this page as a living reference: revisit it whenever a new character joins instead of memorizing today's full list.

The roster itself currently totals 22 playable characters — 16 at S-rarity and 6 at A-rarity — though two of them ship as alternate forms of the same base unit (a male/female pair and a two-form character), so this page lists 20 distinct entries rather than 22. That distinction matters when a headcount from a patch-notes summary doesn't match what you count here — both numbers are correct, they're just counting different things.

• Every character also carries a separate Bond track (roster-wide there are 49 of these relationships and 240 total gifts) — raising it unlocks flavor content and small account-wide perks, but it never substitutes for Awakening or gear when judging combat readiness.
• If a patch note mentions a headcount that looks off by one or two compared to this page, check for an alternate-form character before assuming the roster page is out of date.

Two systems on this roster page get compressed into one word each in the card UI — here's what's actually inside them.

• Awakening isn't a single stat boost — it's 8 distinct milestones per character: 6 numbered Awakening levels plus 2 separate Resonance bonuses that unlock specifically at Awakening 3 and Awakening 6, layered on top rather than counted as extra levels. A character sitting at Awakening 0 still has their full kit; each further copy is a power increase, not an unlock.
• Class (ONE through FIVE) is the compatibility tag between a character and Arc weapons, not a team-building restriction — it decides which Arc pool a character can equip, not who they can stand next to in a team slot. A five-member roster spanning five different Classes plays fine together; what actually gates a team is element coverage for reactions, covered in the Teams guide, not Class matching.
• Because Class only touches gear compatibility, don't read a shared Class between two characters as a sign they're meant to be teamed — check element and role instead.
