Team Compositions
Best NTE Team Comps
Seven ranked team archetypes built around NTE's Esper Cycle reaction system — from a fully F2P starter using launch-giveaway characters, to the endgame Discord boss-killer that breaks every enemy stagger bar in the game, plus a current-banner Hotori Cosmos Control option. Version 1.1 teams for Lacrimosa and Chaos are held until the June 3 live kit check.

Esper Cycle reaction quick reference
Every NTE team is built around triggering at least one Esper Cycle reaction. Six elements form a closed ring: Lakshana → Cosmos → Anima → Incantation → Chaos → Psyche, and adjacent pairs trigger a duo reaction. Two paths chain into tri-element reactions (Charge and Discord) — the ceiling of the system.
