"Aurelia Nova" Anti-Gravity Floating Structures: Stats & Best Arcs
Optimizing the Aurelia Nova build requires a deep understanding of how anti-gravity structures interact with Psyche damage and the Nova Esper Cycle. By selecting the correct Plasma Arc, players can transform Aurelia from a standard damage dealer into a high-speed jellyfish commander capable of clearing endgame anomalies.
The “Aurelia Nova” build utilizes Plasma Arcs—anti-gravity floating structures like Stellar Veil and Song of the Whale—to maximize Psyche damage and trigger the powerful Nova Esper Cycle reaction.
Stats
Aurelia’s primary weapons are Plasma Arcs, which manifest as anti-gravity floating structures, often referred to by the community as jellyfish units. These weapons are unique in Neverness to Everness because they allow for automated firing and high-speed traversal during combat. The effectiveness of the “Aurelia Nova” build is largely determined by the Base ATK and substat scaling of these Arcs, as her Crescendo passive converts specific offensive stats into stacking damage bonuses.
The Stellar Veil serves as Aurelia’s signature weapon, providing a massive ATK% boost that scales her multi-hit jellyfish blasts. For players looking for raw power in the Nova meta, the Song of the Whale offers the highest base ATK among accessible S-Rank Arcs. Meanwhile, Ready-Ready is the premier choice for players focusing on Critical Riposte damage, also known as the Syncopation mechanic.
Stellar Veil Base Stats
At Level 80, the Stellar Veil reaches a Base ATK of [information unavailable as of 2026-06-01]. Its secondary stat provides a significant percentage increase to ATK, which is vital for Aurelia because her jellyfish projectiles hit multiple times per second, benefiting more from a high attack floor than from inconsistent critical hits. The Stellar Veil is specifically tuned to maximize the “Harmonics” interaction, ensuring that every blast contributes to the overall Nova Esper Cycle.
Song of the Whale (S-Rank) Scaling
The Song of the Whale is a powerhouse for burst-oriented players. At Level 80, it features a Base ATK of [information unavailable as of 2026-06-01]. Unlike the signature weapon, this Arc focuses on flat Mental DMG scaling, which complements Aurelia’s secondary damage type. This weapon is particularly effective when players are navigating the Nautili Tunnel or facing high-resistance enemies that require raw stat over-powering.
Ready-Ready Stat Breakdown
Ready-Ready is an S-Rank Plasma Arc that pivots away from ATK% in favor of Crit Rate. At Level 80, it provides a Crit Rate substat of [information unavailable as of 2026-06-01]. This makes it the optimal choice for “Syncopation” builds, where the player relies on perfectly timed dodges and ripostes to trigger massive Psyche explosions. While it lacks the consistent scaling of the Stellar Veil, its peak damage during a Cadenza Aria state is among the highest in the current version.
| Weapon Name | Rarity | Primary Substat | Level 80 Base ATK |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stellar Veil | S-Rank | ATK% | [info unavailable] |
| Song of the Whale | S-Rank | Mental DMG% | [info unavailable] |
| Ready-Ready | S-Rank | Crit Rate% | [info unavailable] |
| Oraora! | A-Rank | ATK% | [info unavailable] |
Effect
The effects of these anti-gravity structures define the playstyle of the Aurelia Nova team. These weapons do not just provide stats; they alter how the Esper interacts with the environment and the Nova reaction.
Signature Passive: Stellar Veil
The Stellar Veil passive permanently increases Psyche DMG by 12%. Additionally, it grants stacking Crit DMG bonuses, up to a maximum of 20%, upon landing successful Psyche hits. Because Aurelia’s Staccato state involves a barrage of small jellyfish blasts, she can reach the maximum stack count in less than two seconds. This creates a feedback loop where her multi-hits build the stacks required for her final Cadenza explosion to deal catastrophic damage.
The Nova Enhancement Mechanic
While Nova Enhancement is a character passive, the Song of the Whale is designed to synergize with it directly. This weapon enhances Mental DMG and provides a unique interaction where it procs three additional instances of Psyche DMG after a Nova Esper Cycle ends. This effectively extends the duration of Aurelia’s burst window, allowing her to clean up any remaining enemies that survived the initial Nova detonation.
Plasma Arc Mobility & Anti-Gravity Perks
The core appeal of using these weapons is the anti-gravity mechanic. Unlike traditional firearms or melee weapons in Hethereau, Plasma Arcs allow Aurelia to maintain full 360-degree mobility while firing automated “Jellyfish Blasts.” During her Staccato state, she can hover above the battlefield, making her immune to ground-based AoE attacks from bosses. When she enters her enhanced Cadenza state, the weapon effects are amplified by 70%, turning the jellyfish into massive beams of energy.
Best On (Characters)
While these floating structures are categorized as Plasma Arcs, they are not universal. Their effectiveness is tied to the Psyche and Mental damage types found in specific Esper kits.
Aurelia: The Jellyfish Commander
Aurelia is the undisputed best user of these structures. Her entire kit is built around the “Jellyfish Riding” playstyle, where she mounts the anti-gravity structure to navigate the urban sprawl of Hethereau. Both the Stellar Veil and Song of the Whale are tailored to her Staccato and Cadenza rotations. Without a high-quality Plasma Arc, Aurelia loses a significant portion of her automated DPS and mobility.
Fadia & Haniel: Synergy Partners
Fadia acts as a Sub-DPS who benefits from the Nova-specific Arcs. Since she deals heavy Mental DMG, the Song of the Whale is a viable alternative for her if the player is running a dual-Plasma team. Haniel, a support Esper, can utilize the Stellar Veil to boost team-wide Psyche DMG through her “It’s Friendship!” passive. Haniel’s role is to maintain the weapon’s stacking buffs while Aurelia is off-field, ensuring the damage bonus is active the moment Aurelia swaps in.
Future-Proofing for Psyche Characters
As of the June 1, 2026 update, the meta is heavily focused on the Nova reaction, which requires a combination of Psyche, Chaos, and Incantation elements. Characters like Daffodill are required to enable the Chaos portion of the cycle, even though she uses different Arcs. However, any future Psyche-element Esper who relies on high hit-counts will likely find the Stellar Veil to be a top-tier choice due to its universal ATK% and Psyche DMG bonuses.
How to Get
Acquiring these powerful anti-gravity structures involves a mix of event participation, boss farming, and the gacha system.
F2P Methods: Login Rewards & Boss Drops
The most accessible way to obtain the Stellar Veil is through the launch celebration event. It is obtainable for free as a Day 10 login reward, making it the most F2P-friendly signature weapon in the game. For players who miss this event, the Song of the Whale is a guaranteed S-Rank drop from the Sea Prisoner boss. This boss is located deep within the Nautili Tunnel and can be farmed for better substat rolls.
Gacha Banners & Pity System
Ready-Ready and other high-end Plasma Arcs are available through the standard and limited-time Arc Gacha banners. It is important to distinguish these from character banners like The Ichi-daime (which features Nanally). The weapon banners in Neverness to Everness feature a 80-pull pity system, ensuring that players eventually receive a featured S-Rank Arc.
Anomaly Pilgrimage Farming
For players who need a reliable A-Rank alternative, Oraora! is the best choice. This weapon is obtained by completing the Backstreet Boxer Anomaly Commission. While it lacks the raw stats of the S-Rank structures, its high refinement potential makes it competitive for early-to-mid-game Anomaly Pilgrimage runs.
Comparison
Choosing between the available Plasma Arcs depends on your team composition and your preferred combat rhythm.
Damage Output Analysis
In a standard 15-second Cadenza rotation, the Stellar Veil consistently outperforms other options for sustained DPS. This is due to the 12% permanent Psyche DMG buff and the ease of maintaining Crit DMG stacks. However, in scenarios where a single massive hit is required to finish a boss, the Song of the Whale wins in burst Nova detonations. The extra instances of Psyche DMG provided by the Song of the Whale can often trigger a second Nova reaction if the enemy has enough Chaos or Incantation stacks remaining.
Substat Efficiency: ATK% vs. Crit
A common question in the Aurelia community is whether to prioritize ATK% or Crit Rate. Because Aurelia’s jellyfish projectiles have a high hit-count, ATK% is often preferred. High ATK% provides a consistent damage floor for every single projectile, whereas a Crit-heavy build with Ready-Ready can feel inconsistent if the player fails to trigger Syncopation. However, for players who have mastered the timing of Critical Ripostes, Ready-Ready offers the highest theoretical damage ceiling.
Final Verdict: Which Arc Should You Level?
If you are a new player, your priority should be the Stellar Veil from the login event. Its synergy with Aurelia is unmatched, and it requires the least amount of investment to see results. If you are focused on F2P progression and missed the login reward, farming the Sea Prisoner for the Song of the Whale is your best path forward. The gap between the free Song of the Whale and gacha S-Ranks is surprisingly minimal, making Aurelia one of the most F2P-friendly Main DPS characters in Neverness to Everness.
