Zero is an appraiser at the Eibon antique store in NTE, who is actively fighting against anomalies and investigates various supernatural cases. He possesses the "cosmic" attribute and specializes in supporting the team with additional damage. His main skill is the ability to redirect "Evaluation and Engraving", launching Esper cyclesThanks to it, teams from Bloom, Remora, and Charge can rotate faster, while simultaneously activating multiple buffs.

Strengths and Weaknesses

In NTE, the legendary Zero is worth investing in at any stage of the game, as he helps initiate many effective reactions and significantly speeds up team rotations. However, he is always seen as addition to an existing bundle fighters, it is very difficult to make him an independent DD.

The Best Zero Build in Neverness to Everness

Assembling a GG requires a careful approach to pumping up these parameters:

• ATK, including basic, - the amount of HP restored by the first passive (only for Charging) directly depends on the base, as well as the boost to the allied attack in the presence of six awakenings (resonance bonus) "Zero mapping").
• Cycle intensity — a stat that enhances the effects of Esper cycles (the intensity depends on the player with the highest final stat value). This is especially important for squads that use Bloom.

In addition, investments in will be useful crit, bonus to "clean" damage и attribute.

Which arc to use

Choosing between S-weapons "Day off", which is issued for Eclipse's hidden mission in BBA, and signature "The Rain That Shook the World" depends on the requirements for Zero:

• The donation disk will significantly increase the hero's personal contribution in battle and also provide a special skin effect for the sword.
• Free gear will speed up resource accumulation for the ult, but the damage will be lower when compared to equipment that offers increases to ATK and/or crits.

Day Off (5⭐) | F2P option ATK 33-512 Charge Efficiency: 13.2-33%	ATK + 30-50%. Unlocks the Eclipse ability: The user creates an eclipse for 40 seconds. Each enemy killed while this effect is active restores 6-10 Superpower Energy. The bonus can be activated up to 5 times, with a 300-second cooldown.
Signa Zero The Rain That Shook the World (5⭐) ATK 33-512 Crit Rate: 8.8-22%	Space damage dealt by skill and super ability, + 30-42%. Increases the intensity of the carrier cycle by 36-72 for 15 seconds after using the E-ability. When activated again, the duration is reset.

Choosing a cartridge for the console

Equipment of this type, like the arc, should enhance the combat potential of the main character.

Cartridge and the effect	Recommendation
Lost Radiance × 2: Cosmos +10%. × 4: After using the super ability, the fighter ignores 25% of the enemy's defense for 20 sec., the effect does not stack.	A signature core variant that offers a percentage boost to an attribute. This gear also helps you bypass enemy defenses: each ultimate will deal increased damage thanks to this boost.
Shadow Creed × 2: attack +10%. × 4: Attack +25% for 20 sec after the owner uses E-skill.	An alternative equipment option that provides a total of 35% bonus to the character's ATK. When using it, it's important to adjust your rotation so that the superpower always activates with the maximum bonus.

If you are considering Zero Esper for the team driver position, you can use the set Speed ​​Hedgehog, aimed at increasing the allied ATK.

Recommended attributes in modules

When upgrading your console parts, pay attention to these stats:

After reaching the maximum level of 80, aim for the following values ​​for your primary stats:

How to place modules

After placing the tetrominoes to activate the cartridge's legendary effect, fill the remaining slots. type III modulesEach of them will increase attack by 10%, and the total can be increased to 40%.

Squads for the main character in NTE

In teams, Zero plays the role of a secondary damage dealer, instantly triggering his Esper cycle. During combat, he doesn't require much time in an active position: he gives up his main buttons and retreats to the "pocket." This makes him a great fit in teams with selfish hyper-carries.

The following can be compiled squad options:

Shinku	Zero	Hathor	Iroy
Nanally	Hotori Iroy	Jiuyuan	Zero
Jiuyuan	Zero	Mint Skia	Haniel
Hotori	Jiuyuan	Iroy	Zero
Hathor	Jiuyuan	Haniel	Zero
Chiz	Hathor	Jiuyuan Haniel	Zero
Chaos	Hathor Iroy	Zero	Mint Haniel

How the skills work

Zero Esper is good and available a fighter who fills the need for a secondary damage dealer, especially in groups with Charge, Blossom, and Remora. With the ability "Evaluation and Engraving" It speeds up the team rotation and also provides decent damage.

• Basic attack "Grade" includes a series of five consecutive techniques "Evaluation: Department", impact in the fall Rating: Destruction, Critical Counter: Flash of Inspiration (Deals area damage and reduces enemy durability).
  
• Skill "Evaluation and Engraving" — An AoE ability that triggers an Esper cycle. Deals additional damage to enemies lower in level than Zero.
  
• Ultimate Division by zero (100 energy units) - the main source of damage.
  
• Support skill "Blooming Rift" - after switching, carries out a strike in front of himself.
  

Passive Talents:

• "Appraiser" (Charge Boost) - Restores a certain amount of HP based on base ATK when the active ally receives Super Ability Energy.
• Perception of Anomalies - increases skill damage Division by zero.

Everyday skill "Five-star model" helps to develop relationships with heroes faster: gifts give additional sympathy if they have a certain communication levelFor example, a gift worth 200 trust points will bring 10 points more if the character's damage/death ratio is 4.

Leveling Order

Spend your development materials on these skills first:

Ultimate = passive talents > skill > basic attack ≥ support skill

The ultimate "Division by Zero" is a key skill in the main character's rotation, so upgrade it first. Ascension stages also unlock passives "The Evaluator" and "Perception of Anomalies".

We recommend upgrading the remaining abilities after you've strengthened your other fighters. This distribution will be especially helpful in the early stages of mastering the game, when Coin Beetles and Esper Pixels are scarce.

Which awakening effects to choose?

When you receive Mind Fragments, unlock bonuses in the following order:

E2 In Search of a Calling > E3 Anomaly Records > E4 Uncertain factors > E5 Theopneustos > E1 Blooming Look > E6 Deceptive Liberation

The best cons of Zero can be called the second, third и fourth:

• In Search of a Calling Grants additional energy after each successful skill cast. This allows the hero to activate their ultimate more often, increasing their personal impact in battle.
• E3 and E4 directly improve the efficiency of "Division by Zero" - Anomaly Notes give a boost to the critical hit chance of the super ability, and "Uncertain factors" Increase damage based on the base ATK value (+0.1% for each point of the characteristic, up to 25%).

Other awakening bonuses also affect damage, but weaker, than those highlighted above.

Zero Esper Rotation

In battle, the main character's abilities are easy to utilize when grouped with suitable allies. He doesn't require much time as an "active character," as his rotation is built around timely activation:

1. E-skills, to form an esper cycle.
2. superpowers for powerful area damage.

The only thing to consider is whose support skill to use in the chain when the central enemy triggers. This determines what kind of reaction you'll create:
