NTE Fastest Reroll Method Guide: Best Starter Characters (May 2026)

Starting your journey in Neverness to Everness with a powerful roster is the most effective way to manage the difficulty spikes found in the early-game “Anomaly” hunts. Since the game’s release on April 29, 2026, the meta has solidified around a few key S-Rank units that offer both combat prowess and essential world-traversal abilities. This guide breaks down the most efficient path to securing Hotori, Sakiri, or Nanally in under 20 minutes.

Why Reroll

Rerolling in Neverness to Everness is not just about aesthetic preference; it is a strategic move to optimize your account’s long-term resource economy. The gap between A-Rank and S-Rank characters in NTE is significant, particularly regarding their “Esper Type” synergies and utility in the open world.

S-Rank characters often possess superior mobility skills. For instance, while all characters can climb, S-Rank units like Sakiri have enhanced wall-running speed and lower stamina consumption during vertical sprints. In a game where verticality is a core pillar of exploration, these small differences save hours of travel time over weeks of play.

From a resource perspective, starting with a limited S-Rank like Hotori allows you to save your Annulith (premium currency) for future power-creep or specialized “Arc” weapons. By utilizing the free Fabricated Dice provided in the launch mail, you can “force” a lucky start without spending a single cent.

Comparison: A-Rank vs. S-Rank Utility

Feature	A-Rank Characters	S-Rank Characters
Base ATK (Lv. 1)	—	—
Traversal Ability	Standard dash/climb	Enhanced (e.g., Blink, Wall-Run, or Air-Dash)
Skill Multipliers	Average (100% - 150%)	High (200%+ with elemental follow-ups)
Team Synergy	Single-element resonance	Multi-type “Esper” resonance
Ultimate Animation	Standard	Cinematic / Time-Stop properties

Is Rerolling Mandatory in NTE?

While you can clear the main story using A-Rank characters and the free Esper Zero provided during the prologue, rerolling is highly recommended for players interested in the “Mirage” endgame mode. The damage checks in higher floors require specific elemental coverage that is difficult to achieve without a diverse S-Rank roster.

The Value of Limited vs. Standard Characters

Limited characters, such as Hotori or Nanally (featured in “The Ichi-daime” banner), usually feature more complex kits and higher damage ceilings than the standard pool. However, standard S-Ranks like Sakiri and Jiuyuan are incredibly versatile and remain relevant due to their ease of integration into various team compositions. Rerolling for a limited character is the “gold standard,” but a “double S-Rank” pull on the standard banner is also a top-tier outcome.

How to Reroll

The fastest method to reroll in Neverness to Everness involves the “Salting” technique and a focused speedrun of the prologue. To begin, you will need a PC or mobile device; PlayStation 5 users should reroll on a mobile/PC account first and link it to their PSN later, as Sony’s account system makes traditional rerolling nearly impossible.

Step-by-Step Salting Instructions

Salting allows you to create dozens of game accounts using a single Gmail address. This keeps your login credentials organized and prevents you from needing to manage multiple email passwords.

Go to the NTE registration page or the in-game login screen.
Enter your email with a “+1” suffix (e.g., username+1@gmail.com).
The game treats this as a unique account, but all verification codes and emails will be sent to your primary username@gmail.com inbox.
Repeat the process with +2, +3, and so on, until you get the desired pull.

The 15-Minute Reroll Cycle Checklist

Launch the Game: Log in with your salted account.
Skip Cutscenes: Press the “Skip” button in the top right corner whenever available.
Complete Tutorial Combat: Follow the prompts to learn basic combat and parrying. Use your skills immediately to clear waves faster.
Reach Hethereau: Follow the “A New Destination” questline. This leads you through the initial urban environment.
Visit Eibon Antique Shop: This is the hub where the gacha system (Order) is unlocked.
Check the Mailbox: Collect the 20+ Fabricated Dice and any Annulith from pre-registration rewards.
Redeem Codes: Open the Settings menu, navigate to the “Account” tab, and enter active codes.
Spend Your Pulls: Head to the “Order” menu and pull on your target banner.

Active NTE Redeem Codes (May 2026)

Code	Reward
NTENOWTOENJOY	100 Annulith, 2x Fabricated Dice
NTE0429	1x Solid Dice, 5,000 Credits
HETHEREOUWELCOME	50 Annulith, Enhancement Materials

Optimal Pull Order: Standard vs. Limited Banners

For the most efficient start, use your Fabricated Dice on the Strange Encounters banner first. This beginner banner offers a 20% discount, meaning you only need 8 Dice for a 10-pull (or 40 Dice for the full 50-pull cycle). This banner guarantees an S-Rank at 50 pulls and allows you to choose your preferred S-Rank once the milestone is reached.

If you have Solid Dice (Limited pulls), use them on the current limited banner (e.g., Hotori or Nanally). If you get a limited S-Rank early, your account is already considered S-tier.

How to Reset Your Account (User Center Method)

If you do not want to use salted emails, you can use the “User Center” to delete your account. However, this is not recommended because many games implement a 15-to-30-day “cooldown” before the email is truly free again. Salting remains the most effective way to stay within the 15–20 minute window per attempt.

Best Starters

Knowing which character to keep is vital. In NTE, the current meta favors high-mobility DPS units and elemental enablers.

Reroll Tier List Table

Character	Tier	Element	Role	Reroll Priority
Hotori	S+	[Information unavailable]	Main DPS	Must-Have (Limited)
Sakiri	S+	[Information unavailable]	Burst DPS	High (Standard)
Jiuyuan	S	[Information unavailable]	Sub-DPS/Enabler	High (Standard)
Nanally	S	[Information unavailable]	Support/Sub-DPS	Medium (Limited)
Baicang	S	[Information unavailable]	Tank/Bruiser	Medium
Esper Zero	A	[Information unavailable]	Balanced DPS	Free (Do not reroll for)
Haniel	A+	[Information unavailable]	ATK Buffer	High (A-Rank Target)

Top Tier: Hotori & Sakiri

Hotori is currently the most sought-after unit due to her limited status and overwhelming AoE (Area of Effect) damage. Her ability to clear groups of enemies quickly makes her the queen of early-game progression.

Sakiri is the best target for players who want a permanent powerhouse. Her kit revolves around high-speed strikes and a unique parry-counter mechanic that rewards skilled play. If you pull Sakiri from your initial mail rewards, you can use the “Strange Encounters” 50-pull selector to pick a support character that complements her, such as Jiuyuan.

If you are pulling on the standard banner, aim for Jiuyuan or Baicang. Jiuyuan provides essential elemental application that allows your main DPS to trigger powerful “Anomaly” reactions. Baicang, while slower, offers high survivability which is helpful if you find the combat’s parry timing difficult to master.

Who to Avoid (Low Priority Starters)

Avoid keeping an account that only yields A-Rank characters, even if you get multiple copies. The “constellation” or “dupe” system in NTE provides power, but a single S-Rank is almost always better than a high-dupe A-Rank at the start of the game. Specifically, avoid settling for only Esper Zero dupes, as the game provides her for free.

Selector Priority

Once you reach the 50-pull milestone on the “Strange Encounters” banner, you get a selector.

If you have Sakiri: Select Jiuyuan for elemental synergy.
If you have Hotori: Select Hathor (if available) or Sakiri for a dual-DPS setup.
If you have no S-Ranks: Select Sakiri for the most consistent gameplay experience.

Time Estimate

Efficiency is the name of the game when rerolling. A casual playthrough of the prologue can take over 45 minutes, but a focused speedrun significantly cuts this down.

Time Breakdown Chart

Phase	Duration	Actions
Prologue/Tutorial	8 Minutes	Skip dialogue, ignore side NPCs.
Combat Sequences	5 Minutes	Focus on the boss; ignore optional mobs.
Navigation	3 Minutes	Use sprinting and wall-running to reach Hethereau.
Pulling & Menuing	2 Minutes	Claim mail, enter codes, perform pulls.
Total Time	18 Minutes	Average per account.

Speedrun Optimization

To hit the 15-minute mark, you must master the first boss fight. The boss has a “Break” meter that depletes faster when you successfully parry its glowing red attacks. Breaking the boss allows you to deal massive burst damage, skipping its second phase transitions.

Efficiency Tip: PC vs. Mobile

If possible, reroll on a PC. Neverness to Everness is a graphically demanding Unreal Engine 5 title. Loading screens on older mobile devices can add 30–60 seconds per transition, which adds up to 5 minutes of wasted time per reroll cycle. PC loading times are generally instantaneous on SSDs.

FAQ

Can I reroll on PlayStation 5?

Direct rerolling on PS5 is difficult because the game automatically links your PSN ID to a Hotta account upon startup. To reroll, create salted accounts on a PC or mobile device. Once you pull the character you want, go to the account settings on your PC/mobile, link a 3rd party login or a secondary email, and then use the “Link Account” feature on your PS5 to sign in with those credentials.

Is salting bannable?

As of May 2026, there have been no reports of players being banned for using the Gmail salting method (+1, +2). This is a common practice in gacha games. However, avoid using automated “macro” scripts to play the game for you, as anti-cheat software may flag the account for “abnormal gameplay behavior.”

What happens to pre-registration rewards?

Pre-registration rewards, including the Fabricated Dice and the limited-edition vehicle skin, are tied to the specific account you create. They are sent to the in-game mailbox once you unlock the Eibon Antique Shop. If you switch to a new salted account, you will receive the rewards again on that new account.

When does the S-Rank Selector expire?

The “Strange Encounters” beginner banner is permanent for new players. It does not expire until you have completed the 50 pulls. Once the 50th pull is made and the selector is used, the banner disappears from your Order menu.

Do emulators work for NTE?

undisclosed. Most players prefer the native PC client for better performance and stability.

Account Linking & Safety

Once you find your “god tier” account, immediately link it to a permanent email and enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) in the Hotta User Center. Rerolled accounts are often targets for recovery hacks if not properly secured.

Common Reroll Errors

“Verification Failed”: This usually happens if you request too many salting codes in a short period. Wait 10 minutes or switch your IP using a mobile hotspot.
“Missing Mail”: If your mailbox is empty, ensure you have completed the “A New Destination” quest. The mail system often triggers only after the first visit to the Antique Shop.
