NTE build guide: Arcs, Cartridges and Modules

Build order

1. Arc — the biggest single stat boost, plus a passive worth around 20–30% of total damage.
2. Cartridges — a matching 2-piece and 4-piece set.
3. Modules — fill the remaining cells with stats.

Arcs

Arcs come from Tri-Key pulls; standard Arcs can also be found in the open world. See current Arc banners.

Cartridges

• Themed sets with 2-piece and 4-piece bonuses.
• Each piece has one Main Stat and four Sub Stats.
• A set bonus only works when its full cell pattern is filled.
• Sub Stats are fixed when the piece drops and unlock at +5, +10, +15 and +20. Levelling only raises the Main Stat — you can’t re-roll Sub Stats.
• Farm them in Anomaly Dungeons, from open-world bosses, Anomaly Commissions and shops.

Modules

• Three sizes: Type II (small), Type III and Type IV (large, best stats, hardest to fit).
• Fixed flat HP and flat ATK, plus four random Sub Stats.
• Each character prefers a 2-block or 3-block shape, which adds bonus stats.
• Get them from Console Rewind with Carrota Coins (Easy = B, Normal = A, Hard = S).

Team rule: the Esper Wheel

The six elements sit in a circle: Cosmos → Anima → Incantation → Chaos → Psyche → Lakshana → back to Cosmos.

• Swapping between neighbouring elements triggers a reaction. Non-neighbours trigger nothing.
• Two reactions inside the same three characters trigger a stronger Trio reaction.
• Teams have up to four characters. Make sure everyone has at least one neighbour on the wheel.
