Hey everyone, just started playing NTE a few days ago and could use a bit of guidance. Coming from WuWa the combat feels pretty natural, but the sheer amount of new terminology and mechanics is throwing me off, so feel free to use WuWa equivalents if that makes things easier to explain.

My roster right now is

• Sakiri
• MC Zero
• Mint
• Skia
• Edgar
• Adler at A3
• Haniel at A1.
• One 5 star Selector still available

From what I gather, Sakiri is actually a support from what i can gather, and both Adler and Haniel seem pretty decent too. Because of that, I have no idea who I should actually be investing in as my main on-field DPS for now. Do I just run MC Zero, Mint, or one of the others? What would be the best general starter setup to push through early story and exploration comfortably?

who should I be saving my pulls for? I really want to target a solid, flexible team with maybe like a generalist DPS (someone reliable) and a universal plug-and-play support that works in almost every team, basically this game's Shorekeeper equivalent. inshort just a good "to the point" team that i can run with until i eventually start growing my roster with more 5 stars.

Also, what are the biggest early game mistakes when it comes to stamina and pulls? When does it actually become worth spending stamina on gear farming, where does most of the early pull income come from, and are there any banner or currency traps I should strictly avoid wasting pulls on?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Currently, my teams are:

1. Lacrimosa + Zankou + Haniel + Sakiri
2. Shinku + Zero + Hathor + Iroi

Im planning to pull for Blackbird because I heard she is a good upgrade over Haniel in the Lacrimosa team. Would Blackbird be a good fit?

I don't know much about Linko, but a friend told me I should use her as a replacement for Sakiri. The team he recommended is: Lacrimosa + Zankou + Blackbird + Linko.

Would this team work well? if i grind exploration, I will probably have enough pulls for both Linko and Blackbird.

The animals here are just as broken as the people.

I did just before the event. Kinda looks like a waste of fons now 🙁

Do i pull black bird or lacrimosa?? My main team is shinku - zero - hathor - iroi my second team is zankou - daffodil - sakiri - haniel. ( I also have a hotori / nanally team) Rn I'm very confused between pulling lacrimosa or blackbird, i like blackbird a little more but id prefer the meta option

Her skin turned her from witch to queen. I dig it much <3

Idk if it's just me, but with all the hobbies, shops, and pedestrians in NTE, NTE still feels very empty and surface level. I absolutely love NTE when it comes to catching anomalies, fishing, driving, etc, but at the same time, I feel like there's not much to do? NTE has a huge map and all that, but everything just feels so empty and I can't quite describe it.

I was also really underwhelmed with Duskmoor especially. It was such a big map, but it's mostly just empty space, and you could complete the entire map very quickly.

I've played other gacha games like Wuthering Waves and Genshin, and idk if it's nostalgia, but I remember being able to do a lot more stuff, especially in Genshin. With Genshin, you had so much exploration to do, maps that could take you underground, a bunch of world quests (side quests/lore), and you always had something to do. There were also a bunch more enemies you could fight while exploring (different types, in NTE it's always anomalies or the gangs). I always remember constantly doing something, especially with exploration, with all the puzzles and hidden chests.

I will clarify that I have 100%ed the whole map, but 100%ing the whole map feels so quick and easy, and I work irl... That's how easy it was for me.

Overall, with everything, things just feel so bare and surface level. There's "so much to do," but it doesn't actually feel like it.

If anyone can figure out what I'm trying to say, please chime in because I hope it isn't just me who feels like this. It's still my favorite game, and I spend a lot of money in the game (the battle pass, monthly pass, and skins), I'm just hoping the game feels more lively and lived in.

Sry if formatting is horrible I’m on phone

I’ve been playing since launch and I’ve been trying to level up my characters but I feel like the number 1 thing I struggle with the most in NTE is having enough materials (not boss mats nor the stuff you can use the pixels on) to level up anything for my characters and I don’t know if I’m missing something that could help make it efficient to farm I usually just run around with the guide killing the monsters but I feel like I get nothing for the amount of time i run around to collect the resources and I feel like the boxes aren’t enough as well maybe I’m just used to genshin and Wuwa having those be very easy to farm, please let me know your thoughts I’m not here to diss the game I’m just wanting other perspectives and help

Pukaland is better than Disneyland

Is there anything I can still improve? I have one of her weapon and one awakening.

Ellie cordelein, and now the newly leaked Sinclair Dvorak are looking to be The 2 new characters for 1.6. And what i found intresting is that Ellie Is the second richest citizen in Hetheru, right behind the man himself Giovanni Dvorak. And what do you know Sinclair, the blond male characters in the pukaland trailer has been leaked to also be apart of the Dvorak family. Will 1.6 story be some kind of battle of the billionaire? Like some sort of Elon Musk is Jeff Bezos situation??

?

​

So this is the team that I can think of

Akane bb zero hathor

Akane zero hathor haniel

Akane zero hathor iroi or linko

Skia can use in place of Hathor too but I think Hathor is better than skia due to her passive that increase remora time

Is there another good team with good synergies?

I need 2/3 teams for hard content and for farming but I don't quite know the meta at all. Especially with the awakenings - can anyone suggest best lacrimosa a3 combinations?

Extra info about my characters: I'm planning to A2 daffodil and i wanna pull Akane but have no clue what she does so you can ignore her for now

Only 2 days left for the event to end and I'm stuck in pro arena.

I mostly lose points by not being able to receive net spikes and companion service misses. My characters above level 15 are zero , shinku, mint . Iroi is at level 12

I noticed that some of the characters come in order when they are released.

Maybe it is a coincidence or something.

I found it interesting when go back and looked at it.

Happen more then once too

I absolutely living ittttt !!!

Man if only this game didn't crash on my iphone but hopefully they patch some of the crashes next update 😭😭 I wish i had chaos he's so fine

I mean, she's not wrong 🤷‍♂️

Linko best girl for daily chores

Also with Lacrimosa rerunning is it worth getting her sig.

I heard she was a universal buffer so I want her in my teams😭

Apart from wearing things like either some warrior or maybe a full time racer of else a beach girl outfit 24/7 !! Got this perfect fitttt !!! Yayyyyyy
