NTE beginner guide: what to do first

Your first day

1. Follow the main story — it unlocks most systems, including the mailbox.
2. Talk to Chiz to start City Tycoon. It’s a big part of progression and leads to free Chiz at level 18.
3. Unlock fast travel points as you explore.
4. Claim your mailbox and redeem codes — see the codes list.
5. Spend Character Pixels every day on character materials.

How the gacha works

	Character boards	Arc banners
Currency	Solid Dice (limited) · Fabricated Dice (standard)	Tri-Keys
Soft pity	70	—
Guarantee	90 pulls — no 50/50, always the featured character	S-Class Arc within 60
Pity carries over	Yes	Yes

Every 10th pull guarantees at least an A-Class result. The standard board gives you a character selector after 50 pulls — wait until you see who you get before using it.

Free characters worth building

• Zero — the protagonist, top tier.
• Haniel — free launch reward, a strong support.
• Chiz — free at City Tycoon level 18.

Team basics

Teams have up to four characters. Elements next to each other on the Esper Wheel react when you swap — see the build guide.

Beginner mistakes

• Using the character selector too early.
• Pulling on Arc banners before you have your characters.
• Forgetting Pink Paws Heist — it’s the best Fons source.
• Letting City Stamina sit full — it refills every Monday.
