Players should prioritize her if they need a top-tier attacker. Meanwhile, F2P users should maximize the value of Chiz and Zero. For team building, focus on synergies like the Scorch/Discord core (Lacrimosa/Sakiri/Hotori) or Charge-based setups (Hathor/Chiz/Haniel).### Essential Builds* **Haniel:** Focus on Energy Recharge and ATK%.* **Zero:** Utilize the free Day Off Arc gear.* **Lacrimosa:** Prioritize stats that boost Nova/Scorch triggers and ensure high Energy Recharge.### Final ThoughtsVersion 1.1 establishes a new hierarchy for *Neverness to Everness*.
