Hathor in NTE: A Guide to the Best Teams and Builds

Hathor is a standard S-rank character in Neverness to Everness with the Lakshana damage type. She has an enhanced superpower state, dealing explosive area-of-effect damage. To use her enhanced skills, she must stack her "Express Delivery Power" passive and generate energy. This is aided by her cosmic and anima allies, who activate the Esper Charge cycles.

The girl's build is distinguished by its accessibility and variability: her signature arc is given out as anomaly containment order, and cartridges can be selected to address any missing characteristics. However, it may still require investment in a second awakening, which provides greater comfort on the battlefield.

Strengths and Weaknesses

The heroine has inconvenient mechanics that make her dependent on the number of enemies and their fighting style - this is what the main "pros" and "cons" are associated with.

Best Hathor Build in Neverness to Everness

Hathor's build is based on the classic characteristics of a damage dealer: ATK и crit. She'll need bonuses to her overall damage, specific to Lakshana, and also to her skill or ultimate. A buff to her basic attacks will be useful, but this type of ability isn't the primary source of damage.

Which arc to use

There aren't many suitable options among plasma weapons, and they're all legendary. The alternate purple arcs don't synergize well with the delivery girl's abilities, but they provide a useful ATK boost.

Arc	The effect
Signature of Raging Flame (5⭐) | F2P option ATK: 43-666 CRIT DMG: 9.6-24%	Damage to Lakshana + 15-25%. After using the ult it gives + 10-20% to skill and super ability damage for 10 sec. While this effect is active, skill damage is increased by an additional 5-9% per use, stacks up to 2 times.
Fluff of Fearlessness (5⭐) ATK: 33-512 ATK: 11-27.5%	Increases owner's damage by 22-38%Against enemies with less than 50% HP, the effect increases to 28-52%.
Song of the Whale (5⭐) ATK: 33-512 ATK: 11-27.5%	ATK + 12-20%. Damage against broken enemies is increased by 12-20%. The owner is also restoring 30 % HP after defeating such an enemy. The bonus is triggered no more than once every 30 seconds.

After activating a skill or super ability, increases damage from basic attacks and counterattacks by 15-30% for 15 sec, stacks up to 2 times. The owner receives the left Tiger Talisman for the skill, and the right one for the ultimate. If both Talismans are obtained within 15 seconds, damage against bosses is increased by 10-20% for 10 sec.

Choosing a cartridge for the console

Several equipment options are suitable for the girl:

Cartridge and the effect	By recommendation
Street Boxer Epic (2): Lakshana damage +10%. Legendary (4): Critical Chance +14%. When Remora or Trace is triggered, the bonus is increased by an additional 14% for 20 sec.	Instantly increases critical chance and grants a bonus to the desired damage type. Requires classic Lakshana partners—Space or Psychic characters—to function.
Devil's Blood: Curse Epic (2): Psychic damage +10%. Legendary (4): Increases the owner's damage by 18%. The bonus increases to 36% against enemies hit by Nova or Trace.	Excellent gear with a high damage buff, but it requires more careful targeting of critical hits in both primary and secondary stats. Activating the passive requires either a Psychic character or a separate Chaos/Psychic combo.
Shadow Creed Epic (2): ATK +10%. Legendary (4): After using the skill, increases attack by another 25% for 20 sec.	A versatile option for a damage dealer. Can be used if you get a cartridge with good stats.

Recommended attributes in modules

Parameters that need to be developed through stats in cartridges and modules:

Aim for the following stat values ​​at max level:

• HP — 20 and more;
• ATK — no less than 2300;
• CRIT Rate — 30% with the Street Boxer, 55% with another cartridge;
• CRIT DMG — 120% and more;
• bonus к damage — no less than 15%;
• damage to Lakshana - 35% and more.

How to place modules

To activate each cartridge's legendary bonus, you will need to place certain Tetris pieces in the console.

Gaps are filled with modules type III, because they grant Hathor +10% ATK. These include all "corners" and oblong triple pieces.

Effective Teams for Hathor in NTE

In combat, the Delivery Girl's primary role is to deal damage, accumulate Express Delivery Power charges, and generate energy for her ultimate. Her teams are designed to include useful Esper cycles:

• Remora - with the passive unlocked, it gives 10% critical chance.
• Charge - Restores energy each time Vita Pistil hits an enemy withRemora.
• Trace - Increases damage taken by enemies from Lakshana and Psyche.

Heroes in a team can play the roles of a second damage dealer, a buffer, and a support that ensures survival—this will determine the distribution of time on the field and the speed of activation of cycles.

Best allies

The girl's partners are selected from the half of the cycle, from psyche to anima. They can also form strong bonds with each other.

Esper Zero (Damage: Cosmos)	The skill instantly starts the esper cycle, making it an ideal combination for anima and lakshan party members.
Chiz (Damage: Cosmos)	Can act as a secondary damage dealer, filling the time on the field while the delivery girl builds up her passive. Also grants 4 energy when activating the Charge cycle.
Hotori (Buff: Cosmos)	Claims to be the leading damage dealer and enhances the mechanics of allied Anima Espers.

How the skills work

Hathor is a burst damage dealer who deals massive AoE damage with her Express Delivery Power empowered state. This lasts only 5 seconds and is triggered by her ultimate.

The rest of the time, the girl is focused on generating energy and passive levels. The power of express delivery (up to level 6), which appear as feathers above the health bar. These charges are used to perform the powerful Cyclone Strike combo attack.

• Basic attack - four different variations of the skill, which include a chain of five blows - "Rapid Delivery" air attack - "Final Dispatch" counterattack "Zero-Error Operation" and charged "To the Skies." Counterattacking every 5 seconds can grant 1 passive level, and "To the Skies" generates up to 48 cycle frequencies.
  
• Skill - when you click "Air Command" it gives 2 levels Express Delivery Power, when held, puts the girl into a charging state, in which the skill's damage increases and, if the enemy attacks, grants 3 feathers. In the Ultimate stance, the skill is replaced by "Cyclone Strike", which consumes Express Delivery Power for quick combo attacks on targets.
  
• Ultimate "Fast steed" — deals high damage to an area and puts the heroine into the enhanced state of "Urgent Delivery."
  
• Support skill "Choosing the point of influence" - Deals two instances of damage and knocks back the enemy.
  
• Passive Talent of Delay Warning Extends the duration of Remora to 12 seconds and increases the critical strike chance of enemies with this status by 10%, "Improving Efficiency" Grants 1 feather upon killing a target.

  

  

• Character trait "Blocking an excellent rating" - When enemies are near the active character for more than 5 seconds, the girl applies a status to them that gives 1 feather after the enemy attacks.
  

The Elite Courier life skill applies to the permanent City Delivery activity:

• Level 1 and 3: Delivery points +2 per day.
• Level 2 and 4: Customer satisfaction +10 points.
• Level 5: One delivery per day can be completed directly and receive a reward immediately.

Leveling Order

Skill > ult > passive talents = basic attack = support skill

You don't have to develop the girl's skills in parallel, but focus on the main ones:

• At least half of the damage comes from the skill in its normal and enhanced state, so it has the highest priority for leveling.
• The ultimate follows as a source of powerful area damage.
• В passives contain buffs for Remora and feather generation acceleration.
• Basic attack and getting the support role act as secondary sources of damage.

Which awakening effects to choose?

We recommend unlocking the Delivery Girl's passive effects in the following order:

E2 Kingdom of Thorns > E1 Elite Courier > E5 Regular Sandwich = E6 Guide to Everyday Life = E4 Engine Resonance > E3 Lost Wings

The best const of Hathor is undoubtedly the second one, "Thorn Dominion." The rest can be selectively chosen to suit your personal playstyle, team, and combat scenario:

• E2 Makes the feather generation process more stable. Significantly simplifies gameplay, eliminating the drawbacks associated with stacking.
• E1 Grants 6 feathers for the first use of a charged skill, allowing you to start the fight with your Ultimate rotation.
• E5, E6 и E4 consistently increase the damage inflicted.
• E3 Increases damage against non-boss enemies - this awakening is not weak, but situational.

Rotation

The girl's gameplay has many nuances, but it's not difficult - accumulate 6 levels Express Delivery Power, use your ultimate, and cast the skill three times in a row. Passive stacks can be built up in the following ways:

• Active character staying near an enemy for 5 seconds - 1 level for each enemy.
• Normal skill - 2 lvl.
• If enemies attack or hit the active character while the skill is charged - 3 lvl.
• Defeat target - 1 lvl.

In addition, each stack provides 5 energy.

In the "preparatory" phase, call if possible Blossom и Remora and bring Hathor onto the field to gain 10 energy for each hit of Pestle. Before using the ultimate, we recommend casting The, so that the enemy receives 20% more damage from Lakshana.

The girl's charged basic attack can also be used to trigger these effects, as it restores the Esper's cycles well.

Is the character worth spending the guaranteed choice on?

Hathor is a powerful unit that quickly dispatches groups of weaker enemies and can take on bosses. She deals most of her damage in her Ultimate stance, and her effectiveness drops off when not in it. Due to her dynamic gameplay, which tolerates no mistakes, she can be awkward in certain scenarios, resulting in inconsistent damage output.

On the other hand, her explosive rotation and mastery of Lakshana allow her to compensate for her weaknesses through her allies—the delivery girl can serve as a secondary damage dealer and act as a "battery" for the lead core. Her elemental type allows for team building through Charge and Trace, making gameplay varied and engaging.
