Neverness to Everness opens quickly—new faces, elements, and menus arrive within the first hour. This guide keeps your first week gentle: one striker you enjoy, one support who keeps everyone standing, and a short daily routine you can repeat without burnout.
Pick a small team early
If you are playing without spending, Chiz from City Tycoon is a welcoming first striker—earned through the city mode, not the banner. Pair him with Anima allies you already have (Mint, Jiuyuan, or Nanally feel especially friendly).
Lucky enough to welcome Baicang or Daffodil early? Browse the Teams page for ideas, then focus upgrades on one squad before spreading resources across the whole roster.
Stamina and dailies
Spend natural stamina on account growth first—levels, ascensions, and story tools—before chasing perfect gear. Finish daily commissions and a quick City Tycoon visit before long anomaly sessions.
When you are tired, stop after dailies. NTE tends to reward steady check-ins more than rare marathon nights.
What to save for later
Perfect stat rolls, max awakenings on every new face, and every limited shop trinket. Circle back after you clear early story and know which characters you actually enjoy using.
