Neverness to Everness Character Reroll Guide 2026: Best Starters

Securing a powerful start in Hethereau is the most effective way to ensure your account remains competitive as the supernatural urban landscape of Neverness to Everness evolves. With the game having launched on April 29, 2026, the meta has solidified around a few key S-Rank units that can carry you through the most difficult anomalies and boss encounters.

Rerolling in Neverness to Everness (NTE) is a highly recommended strategy for both F2P players and light spenders. Because Hotta Studio has implemented a generous gacha system compared to other urban RPGs, taking the time to start with a top-tier “God Start” can save you months of resource farming. This guide covers the most efficient path to obtaining characters like Hotori and Nanally, the current gacha rates, and how to maximize your initial Fabricated Dice.

Why Reroll

Rerolling is the process of creating new accounts to use the initial free pulls provided during the launch window to secure high-tier characters. In NTE, this is particularly effective because of the high base rates and the lack of a “50/50” system on limited banners.

The Value of a ‘God Start’ in 2026

A “God Start” typically refers to an account that secures at least one top-tier limited S-Rank character (like Hotori) and one high-synergy standard S-Rank (like Sakiri) within the first 30 to 40 pulls. Having these units early allows you to bypass the “gear check” hurdles in the early-game Hethereau districts.

The primary reason to reroll now is the S-Rank Selector. You receive a guaranteed S-Rank Selector after performing 50 pulls on the “Strange Encounters” standard banner. By rerolling to get a limited character first, you can then use your selector to perfectly complement that unit, creating a meta-ready team within your first hour of gameplay.

Understanding the No 50/50 Advantage

One of the most player-friendly features of Neverness to Everness is the removal of the 50/50 mechanic on limited character banners. In many other gacha games, hitting an S-Rank on a limited banner only gives you a 50% chance of getting the featured character. In NTE, if the gold light appears on the “Misty Tipsy Style” banner, you are guaranteed to receive Hotori. This makes rerolling significantly less frustrating, as you aren’t at risk of “losing” your hard-earned S-Rank pull to a standard pool character.

Gacha Category	Rate / Rule
S-Rank Base Rate	1.87%
A-Rank Base Rate	22.98%
Hard Pity (Guaranteed S-Rank)	90 Pulls
Limited Banner Mechanic	No 50/50 (100% Featured Character)
Standard Banner Perk	S-Rank Selector at 50 Pulls

How to Reroll

The reroll process in NTE is relatively straightforward but requires a specific stopping point to maximize efficiency. You want to reach the point where the “Scarborough Fair” (the gacha system) is fully unlocked and your Mailbox rewards are accessible.

The Salting Method Explained

To avoid creating dozens of unique email addresses, use the “salting” method. If your email is player@gmail.com, you can register accounts using player+1@gmail.com, player+2@gmail.com, and so on. The NTE account system recognizes these as unique logins, but all verification codes and communications will be sent to your primary player@gmail.com inbox. This allows you to manage multiple reroll attempts from a single email account.

Fastest Path to the ‘Talk to Mint’ Milestone

To minimize the time spent per run, follow these steps exactly:

Launch and Login: Use a salted email to start a new game.
Skip Cutscenes: Use the ‘Fast-Forward’ button located in the top-right corner of the screen. This skips non-essential dialogue and cinematic sequences.
Combat Tutorial: Follow the prompts to learn the basic Esper Zero mechanics. Do not spend time exploring; move directly to the quest markers.
Bridge Crossings: Complete the “Bridge Crossings” objective. This is the first major story beat in Hethereau.
Talk to Mint: Continue the main quest until the objective “Have a talk with Mint” appears. This is the trigger that unlocks the full menu, including the Mailbox and the Scarborough Fair.

Which Banners to Prioritize

Once you have claimed your 30-41 free pulls from the Mailbox (pre-registration rewards and launch celebration gifts), you must decide where to spend your Fabricated Dice.

Priority 1: Misty Tipsy Style (Limited): Spend your limited pulls here first. Your goal is to get Hotori. If you pull her early, stop immediately.
Priority 2: Strange Encounters (Standard): If you didn’t get Hotori and want to settle for a strong standard start, or if you have leftover standard-only currency, pull here to build progress toward the 50-pull S-Rank Selector.
The Ichi-daime (Limited): If Nanally is your target instead of Hotori, spend your pulls here. Nanally is an incredible Main DPS, though Hotori is currently considered higher priority for long-term account value.

Best Starters

The May 2026 meta is dominated by characters who can manipulate time or provide massive off-field damage. When rerolling, aim for the following characters.

S-Tier: The Meta-Definers

Hotori (S-Rank, Cosmos): Hotori is the undisputed queen of the current meta. Her role as a Sub-DPS/Support is unmatched due to her time-stop ultimate, which freezes enemy movement and cooldowns while allowing your Main DPS to deal damage. Her “skill-mimicry” allows her to copy certain buffs from your teammates, making her incredibly versatile in any team composition.
Nanally (S-Rank, Anima): As the featured unit on “The Ichi-daime” banner, Nanally is the premier Main DPS choice. Her unique mechanic involves summoning an “Underboss” that performs follow-up attacks every time Nanally uses a basic attack or skill. She provides excellent crowd control and has some of the highest scaling for single-target damage in the game.

A-Tier: Strong Standard Picks

Sakiri (S-Rank, Incantation): Sakiri is the best character to hope for from the standard banner. She provides a flat 30% ATK buff to the entire team and has a skill that groups enemies together, which is essential for clearing high-level “Anomaly” floors.
Jiuyuan (S-Rank, Anima): A powerful ranged DPS who specializes in sustained damage. She has specific synergies with the protagonist (Esper Zero), making her a very safe pick for players who don’t want to worry about complex team rotations.
Daffodill (S-Rank, Chaos): Daffodill is a burst DPS specialist. Her primary strength is “stance breaking.” She can deplete an enemy’s shield or stance meter faster than almost any other unit, which is vital for late-game boss fights where enemies become hyper-aggressive if not broken quickly.

Who to Pick with Your S-Rank Selector

If you successfully reroll for Hotori, use your S-Rank Selector (at 50 pulls) to pick Sakiri. The combination of Hotori’s time-stop and Sakiri’s ATK buffs creates a core team that can handle almost all content released as of May 2026. If you started with Nanally, Jiuyuan is a great choice to double down on Anima elemental damage, or you can pick Daffodill to ensure you have a dedicated shield breaker.

Character	Tier	Role	Element	Key Strength
Hotori	S	Sub-DPS / Support	Cosmos	Time-stop & Skill Mimicry
Nanally	S	Main DPS	Anima	Underboss Summons & CC
Sakiri	A	Offensive Support	Incantation	30% ATK Buff & Grouping
Jiuyuan	A	Ranged DPS	Anima	Esper Zero Synergy
Daffodill	A	Burst DPS	Chaos	Stance Breaking
Hathor	B	Tank / Support	—	High Survivability
Fadia	B	Healer	—	Consistent Team Healing

Time Estimate

Rerolling in Neverness to Everness is faster than in many other open-world titles, but it still requires a time investment.

Speedrunning the Tutorial

If you are efficient with the “Fast-Forward” button and ignore all side interactions, a single reroll run to the “Talk to Mint” milestone takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes. The variance usually depends on how quickly you navigate the combat tutorial and the “Bridge Crossings” segment.

Once you reach Mint and unlock the Scarborough Fair, claiming your rewards and performing the actual rolls takes another 2-3 minutes. If you are aiming for the 50-pull selector on the standard banner, you will likely need to play for about 45-60 minutes total to earn enough additional Fabricated Dice from early-game achievements and exploration.

PC vs. Mobile Rerolling Efficiency

PC is generally the superior platform for rerolling. The loading times between Hethereau districts are significantly shorter on a high-end PC compared to mobile devices. Furthermore, the precise movement controls on PC make the “Bridge Crossings” segment slightly faster. Mobile players should expect each run to take closer to 25 minutes due to longer loading screens and potential thermal throttling during the initial asset loading.

Activity	Time (PC)	Time (Mobile)
Intro to Bridge Crossings	10 mins	13 mins
Bridge Crossings to Mint	7 mins	10 mins
Gacha & Reward Claiming	2 mins	2 mins
Total Per Run	~19 mins	~25 mins

Most players successfully pull at least one S-Rank within 4 to 6 reroll attempts. This means you should set aside roughly 1.5 to 2 hours of effort to secure a high-quality starter account.

FAQ

Account Security and Salting

Can I be banned for rerolling? No. Hotta Studio has not banned players for manual rerolling in their previous titles, and there have been no reports of bans in NTE for using the salting method. However, you must avoid using automated scripts or third-party “reroll bots,” as these can trigger anti-cheat software and lead to a permanent account ban.

Cross-Platform Rerolling (PS5/Mobile/PC)

Can I reroll on PS5? Rerolling on PS5 is difficult because the game is usually tied to your PlayStation Network (PSN) ID. To reroll on console, you would need to create multiple PSN accounts. It is much more efficient to reroll on PC or Mobile and then link that account to your PS5 once you are satisfied with your characters. NTE features full cross-save and cross-play support.

Is Rerolling Necessary?

Is Rerolling Necessary? Strictly speaking, no. Neverness to Everness is designed so that the protagonist (Esper Zero) and free characters like Chiz can clear the main story. However, the difficulty spike in endgame content like the “City Tycoon” challenges is significant. Having a character like Hotori or Nanally makes those challenges much more manageable and allows you to earn premium currency rewards faster.

Should I reroll for Arcs (weapons)? No. Arcs are important for character power, but they are much easier to obtain over time. You can earn high-tier Arcs through “Arc Research” and by progressing through the “City Tycoon” levels. Characters are much harder to acquire once their initial banners end, so always prioritize characters over weapons during the reroll process.

Is Chiz worth rerolling for? Do not waste your pulls or rerolls on Chiz. While she is a solid unit, she is given to every player for free once they reach Tycoon Level 18. Focus your gacha efforts on limited units that cannot be obtained through gameplay progression.
