Neverness to Everness Team Comps: Six Element Pairings That Work
Start with your carry, add one adjacent element for Ring Fusion, then fill the last slots with a breaker and a support. These Neverness to Everness team comps follow that rule for every released carry, so you can copy a shell and swap the flex slot without breaking the damage loop.

What is a good starter team in Neverness to Everness?
Use Nanally or Hotori as the carry, Sakiri as the grouping buffer, Jiuyuan as the breaker/healer, and one flex slot for survival. If you do not own a limited carry, run Jiuyuan as the carry and put Daffodill in the break slot.
| Slot | Best budget pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Carry | Nanally or Hotori | Launch units clear all story content |
| Grouping / buff | Sakiri | Clumps enemies so the carry's AoE lands |
| Break / heal | Jiuyuan | Groups; heals at E1 |
| Flex | Daffodill or Fadia | Breaker for bosses, tank for survival |
This shell is deliberately cheap. It does not need a second limited unit, and it covers the two jobs every fight asks for: break the gauge and survive the mechanic.
What is the best Lacrimosa team?
Run Lacrimosa + Daffodill + Haniya or Fadia + Sakiri or Adler. Daffodill is mandatory because Lacrimosa's Chaos damage wants a Chaos breaker; the third slot handles survival or a second damage source, and the fourth groups or buffs.
- Lacrimosa: long-window DOT main DPS.
- Daffodill: Chaos breaker, the only standard unit that fills this role.
- Haniya or Fadia: sustain or tanking.
- Sakiri or Adler: grouping or support flex.
What is the best Shinku team?
Run Shinku + Oneiroi + Hathor or Yi + Xiaozhi or the Light protagonist. This is the Charge shell: Shinku is the Cosmos carry, Oneiroi is the healer and universal buffer, and the last slots add Charge or a second Cosmos neighbor.
Oneiroi is the highest-value support in the game: 20% ATK buff, 15% team damage with her signature Arc Disc, and 5% defense ignore. She does not rerun in v1.5, so if you own her, build her.
What is the best Zankou team?
Run Zankou + Daffodill + Linko + Sakiri. Zankou is an Incantation katana carry who mixes direct damage with DOT; Daffodill breaks, Linko supports the Incantation package, and Sakiri groups.
What is the best Blackbird team?
Run Akane Rin + Blackbird + the protagonist Zero or Elyms + Oneiroi. The official setup is Akane Rin as main DPS and Blackbird as sub-DPS; the fourth slot is a Cosmos neighbor or a healer.
| Role | Unit | Job |
|---|---|---|
| Main DPS | Akane Rin | Lakshana damage window |
| Sub-DPS / support | Blackbird | Instant Ring Fusion, off-field coordination, team buff |
| Flex | Protagonist Zero or Elyms | Cosmos neighbor; Elyms adds Charge |
| Support | Oneiroi | Healing and team buffs |
Akane Rin is a Lakshana unit, not Cosmos, so her reliable pairs run through Psyche (Blackbird) or Cosmos (Elyms). Blackbird can lead her own team at A1, but at A0 she is better in the sub-DPS slot. The character database lists her Arc Disc and Console priorities.
What are Elyms's four team directions?
Elyms has four shells in the corpus: a Shinku main-DPS team, an Akane Rin main-DPS team, a Nanally team, and an extension team that uses her as a Cosmos support. The Akane Rin version is explicitly high risk at A0 because Elyms needs field time to raise Signal Strength.
| Direction | Shell | Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Shinku main | Shinku + Elyms + Oneiroi + Hathor/Yi | Best historical fit; still needs live testing |
| Akane Rin main | Akane Rin + Elyms + Blackbird + Oneiroi | High risk: A0 field time can break the loop |
| Nanally team | Nanally + Elyms + Sakiri + Jiuyuan | Comfortable, lower ceiling |
| Extension | Any Cosmos team that wants Charge or Remora | Role overlap with existing supports |
What is the best Exe team?
Run Exe + Blackbird + Zankou + Sakiri, Linko, or Oneiroi. Exe is a Chaos summon main DPS; Blackbird enables instant Ring Fusion, Zankou adds Incantation damage and DOT, and the last slot is grouping, support, or healing.
The Akane Rin + Blackbird + Exe + Elyms four-unit ring is theoretically possible, but the corpus flags a role-conflict risk and no live verification. Do not spend on it before v1.5 second-half testing.
Should you pick Exe or Chaos?
Pick Exe if your Chaos team is empty and you trust your execution. Pick Chaos if you want a steadier unit or your Lakshana team needs a member. Exe's damage ceiling is higher, but his low-effort output can fall to T2 level.
A team with four different attributes and no adjacent pair loses the Ring Fusion layer. Check the element wheel before you finalize the fourth slot.
FAQ
What is the best beginner team?
Nanally or Hotori as carry, Sakiri for grouping and buffs, Jiuyuan for break and healing, and a flex slot for Daffodill or Fadia.
Is Daffodill required for Lacrimosa?
She is the standard Chaos breaker and the usual pick. Lacrimosa wants a Chaos shell, and Daffodill is the only standard unit that reliably fills the break slot.
Does Oneiroi rerun in v1.5?
No. The corpus lists Oneiroi as not rerunning in v1.5, which makes her a high-value support if you already own her.
Can Akane Rin and Elyms run together?
Yes, but the corpus flags it as high risk at Elyms A0 because she needs field time to raise Signal Strength. Test it before investing.
Is the four-unit Exe ring real?
It is theoretical. Akane Rin + Blackbird + Exe + Elyms may conflict on field time, and no live verification exists yet.
