Neverness to Everness Class Tier List (2026)
Where each Appraiser sits in Version 1.3 "Rising from the Moonlit Fog". Placements combine the two public NTE trackers that publish per-character ratings with what the official patch notes changed this version; characters whose sources disagree are marked. Rarity and element come from three cross-checked sources — see the full roster for the raw table.
S Tier
| Name | Role | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Chiz | Cosmos · Solid · DPS | Rated top of the roster by the tracker that publishes numeric ratings; Grain resource system rewards uptime. |
| Nanally | Anima · Solid · DPS | Rerunning right now on The Ichi-daime board — the cheapest chance to grab a top-rated carry this version. |
| Zankou | Incantation · DPS | Version 1.3 debut. Too new for settled community ratings, but she carries the patch's Home Time mode, Bond quests and a dedicated Arc. |
| Shinku | Cosmos · Solid · DPS | 1.2 headliner; 1.3 lets her interact straight out of Surging Crimson and fixed four of her bugs. |
| Hotori | Cosmos · Solid · DPS | Non-Closed Timepiece replaces cooldowns entirely — highest skill ceiling in the roster. |
| Iroi | Anima · Synthesis · Support | The support most 1.3 teams are built around; sources split on Support vs Survival labelling. |
A Tier
| Name | Role | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Lacrimosa | Chaos · Liquid · DPS | Consistent Chaos damage; one of the most searched builds on the roster. |
| Chaos | Lakshana · Solid · DPS | Solid all-round carry, got a dodge polish pass in 1.3. |
| Esper Zero | Cosmos · Solid · DPS | The protagonist. Free, always available, and perfectly usable — just outscaled by limited S-Ranks. |
| Sakiri | Incantation · Synthesis · Support | Standard-pool buffer with team-wide ATK; the safest selection-box pick for a new roster. |
| Baicang | Incantation · Synthesis · DPS | Power Word stacking pays off in his domain Ultimate; strong standard-pool carry. |
| Daffodill | Chaos · Liquid · DPS | Break specialist — pair her with a carry that punishes broken shields. |
| Hathor | Lakshana · Solid · DPS | Express Delivery Power gives her strong burst windows. |
| Jiuyuan | Lakshana · Solid · DPS | Lethal Rose Pact marking; element listing differs between trackers. |
| Fadia | Psyche · Liquid · Survival | The redirect tank — the answer when an anomaly fight keeps deleting your carry. |
B Tier
| Name | Role | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Skia | Lakshana · Synthesis · DPS | Officially an A-Class (named on the 1.2 phase-two board) despite one tracker filing her as S — a strong stealth pick for a free-to-play roster. |
| Mint | Cosmos · Solid · DPS | Best of the A-Class rate-ups and confirmed on both recent boards — you will own her whether you want to or not. |
| Haniel | Psyche · Liquid · Support | Free support with team ATK bonuses; genuinely usable until you land Sakiri or Iroi. |
| Aurelia | Psyche · Liquid · DPS | Obtainable through events rather than pulls; her jellyfish traversal is more fun than her damage. |
| Adler | Incantation · Synthesis · Survival | Board filler with a survival kit — fine as a second sustain slot. |
| Edgar | Cosmos · Liquid · Survival | Board filler; sustain that never quite competes with Fadia. |
| Linko | Anima · DPS | Listed as playable by one tracker and as upcoming by another — hold judgement until the official notes name her. |
