Hey Appraisers, We know you're all out there grinding anomalies, but let's be real — most of you are struggling to pick the right Arc for your team. In a fast-paced open-world ARPG like Neverness to Everness, your weapon choice (known as Arcs) can make or break your damage output, survivability, and team synergy. That's why we've put together this comprehensive NTE Arcs guide, featuring the full weapon list, their stats, effects, and a tier ranking to help you make smarter choices.

Why Arcs Matter in Neverness to Everness

Arcs in Neverness to Everness act as signature weapons, each bringing unique passives, stat boosts (such as ATK, CRIT Rate/DMG, and HP), and special abilities unlocked via their Arc skill. They come in different rarities (mainly S, A, and B) and types — Solid, Plasma, Gas, Liquid, and Synthesis — which directly influence your playstyle.

The good news? Many S-rank Arcs are completely farmable for free through anomalies, field bosses, or story progression, making the game genuinely F2P-friendly.

When evaluating options from the Neverness to Everness weapons tier list, understanding every Arc's stats and effects — and knowing which ones boost DPS, support your team, or dominate boss fights — is crucial for smooth gameplay progression.

NTE Arcs Tier List by Rank

This Neverness to Everness Arcs tier list prioritizes raw damage, ease of activation, versatility across content (story, anomalies, bosses), and team synergy. S-tier Arcs dominate thanks to high scaling and powerful passives.

S-Tier (Meta-Defining — Prioritize These)

These weapons deliver the highest damage, utility, or both. Ideal for main DPS and strong supports.

Arc Details
Blow up the CrowdBlow up the Crowd (Solid) Base ATK 512 with 27.5% ATK substat. Boosts the active character's ATK while off-field and stacks additional ATK bonuses on damage dealt. While on-field, it further increases Psyche DMG and gains stacks through Basic Attacks — making it one of the best quick-swap support Arcs.
Camellia SocietyCamellia Society (Synthesis) Base ATK 666 with 12% CRIT Rate. Gains stacking CRIT DMG whenever HP is lost, and unlocks Silent Garden, which sacrifices HP to unleash random high-damage Incantation attacks—a high-risk, high-reward powerhouse for select characters.
Day OffDay Off (Solid) Base ATK 512 with 33% Charge Efficiency. Grants a large ATK increase and unlocks Eclipse, allowing defeated enemies to restore Ultimate Energy multiple times. Excellent for burst-focused teams and Ultimate sustain.
Hethereau's KeeperHethereau's Keeper (Solid) Base ATK 512 with 27.5% ATK substat. Increases both ATK and Boss DMG while summoning Officer Whisker to deal heavy ATK-based strikes on cooldown—one of the strongest free boss-oriented Arcs.
Raging FlamesRaging Flames (Plasma) Base ATK 666 with 24% CRIT DMG. After using an Ultimate, it greatly boosts Redirect Skill DMG and gains extra stacks from repeated skill casts. Perfect for skill-heavy DPS characters. Note: Drops to A-tier on non-signature users who can't fully capitalize on its Redirect Skill DMG mechanics.
Other top S-rank Arcs Good Boy's Grand Adventure (Gas), Fluff of Ferocity (Synthesis), Eternal Waltz (Synthesis), Ready-Ready (Plasma): These provide strong team ATK buffs, CRIT DMG stacking, HP and Mental DMG scaling, plus powerful Basic Attack enhancements for various team compositions.

A-Tier (Strong & Versatile)

Reliable for most content and great F2P alternatives.

Arc Details
Tears Beneath the MaskTears Beneath the Mask (Gas) Base ATK 512 with 27.5% ATK substat. Applies Warning Gaze through the Ultimate, reducing enemy damage dealt by 18% for 20 seconds. Excellent defensive utility for tougher encounters and team survivability.
Youthful FantasyYouthful Fantasy (Solid) Provides reliable ATK and team-wide buffs with very simple activation conditions. A strong and flexible option for many characters and setups.
Other notable A-tier Arcs Reality Refuge (Solid), The Rain That Shook the World, Stellar Veil, Fluff of Fleetness, Fluff of Finesse: Situational but effective Arcs that excel in certain team compositions or playstyles, offering benefits such as survivability, speed boosts, elemental bonuses, or conditional offensive scaling.

B-Tier (Situational / Early Game)

Useful starters or niche picks, but generally outclassed later.

Arc Details
Contemplative CatContemplative Cat (Gas) Builds stacking Cosmos DMG based on the amount of Fons currently held (up to 10 stacks). Stronger in setups that can consistently maintain high Fons generation.
Fluff of FortitudeFluff of Fortitude (Plasma) Provides a damage boost that becomes stronger against low-HP enemies, making it great for finishing fights and executing weakened targets.
Other B-tier options The Forgotten, Time Bandit, Oraora!, Clear Skies, Cosmos Daze Wild Reverie, Watch Your Heads!, The Fools' Spring, Drawn Blade: Mostly utility-focused or conditional Arcs offering basic stat boosts, niche effects, or situational bonuses. Decent for early progression or specialized builds, but generally weaker than higher-tier choices.

C-Tier (Basic Fillers)

These offer limited utility with simple single-stat bonuses or hard-to-maximize effects. Use them only early on or as temporary stat sticks.

Arc Details
A Time Will ComeA Time Will Come Functions mainly as a stat stick, granting ATK, DEF, and HP when the team includes three or more different Esper types.
Be HappyBe Happy Restores HP after defeating enemies, but the effect has a long cooldown and inconsistent uptime.
Dangerous GameDangerous Game Temporarily increases Break Intensity after reducing an enemy's Break gauge. Niche for Break-focused setups.
Failing You, Heavy in My HeartFailing You, Heavy in My Heart Provides a team-wide ATK buff after using an Ultimate based on accumulated Basic Attack stacks, though it can disrupt optimal rotations.
First Step to SuccessFirst Step to Success Grants an ATK boost after using Redirect Skills. Simple but with relatively modest impact.
Mind RoyaleMind Royale Restores Ultimate Energy through Redirect Skills, but the long cooldown limits reliability.
"Real Music""Real Music" Increases Redirect Skill DMG, though held back by cooldown restrictions and situational uptime.
Shiny DaysShiny Days Boosts Break Intensity and increases damage dealt to Broken enemies; useful in Break-oriented teams.
The Good, The Bad, The BitterThe Good, The Bad, The Bitter Grants DEF boosts after taking damage, but unreliable if you're skilled enough to avoid hits.
The Great ThiefThe Great Thief Improves Break Intensity for teammates sharing the same Esper type, giving it niche synergy potential.
UmbrellaUmbrella Provides HP and stronger shields while above 50% HP, offering moderate survivability.
Us..Us. Straightforward unconditional increase to Basic Attack damage.
Call of the Twisted CityCall of the Twisted City Highly situational; may fit specific characters or team needs, but generally delivers lower impact.

Quick Recommendation: Farm free S-rank Arcs like Day Off (Main Character), Hethereau's Keeper, Good Boy's Grand Adventure, and Raging Flames early — they're accessible via anomalies and field bosses.

Key Arc Highlights: Stats and Effects

Here's a quick recap of standout Neverness to Everness Arcs. Stats scale with refinement/level; base ATK often reaches ~500+ at max.

  • Blow up the Crowd (S, Solid) — Versatile quick-swap king.
  • Camellia Society (S, Synthesis) — Niche but potent for HP-manipulation kits.
  • Day Off (S, Solid) and Hethereau's Keeper (S, Solid) — Farmable free S-ranks with strong sustain and summon utility.
  • Lower-tier Arcs focus on conditional or minor boosts without transformative Arc skills.

S-Rarity Arcs consistently offer the best base stats and powerful Arc skills. A and B-rarity weapons provide solid fillers but have lower ceilings. Many signature Arcs align with character elements (e.g., Cosmos for Hotori), so matching types is key.

Pro Tips for Players

  • Refine Arcs using duplicates or materials for significant % boosts.
  • Match types/elements to characters for synergy (e.g., Solid for balanced playstyles).
  • Farm free S-ranks aggressively — many are best-in-slot early on.
  • Test in anomalies to see real performance before committing resources.
