Neverness to Everness Elyms Build Guide: Best NTE Elyms Kit, Teams, Materials & Arcs (2026)

Who Is Elyms in Neverness to Everness?

Elyms arrives as an S-Rank Cosmos Esper who wields a Solid Arc and serves as the lieutenant of ETD-6 under Exe in the Bureau of Anomaly Control. Players first saw her in earlier trailers with a vibrant blue-and-purple ice-cream aesthetic, but the Elyms redesign NTE delivered a striking white-haired look complete with butterfly motifs and a smartphone that doubles as her combat terminal.

As per Elyms’s personality, she is bubbly, easygoing, and constantly glued to her phone outside of combat, yet she functions as a hybrid Burst DPS and damage-boost support.

Her Instant Cycle trait (similar to Esper Zero) fills her Esper Meter instantly on skill use, while her passive specifically enhances Charge and Remora cycle effects. This makes the NTE Elyms build especially potent for teams that already lean into those reactions. She starts every fight at Weak Connection Strength and scales her Ultimate and off-field coordinated attacks as she climbs through Medium and Strong Connection levels.

Elyms Kit Breakdown: Connection Strength and Combat Flow

Understanding Ekyms Connection Strength system is the foundation of any strong NTE Elyms build. She begins at Weak Connection. Completing the final hit of a normal attack combo unlocks Elyms’s enhanced skill. Casting the enhanced skill or a Support Skill raises her to Medium Connection, applying a temporary buff and improving her basic attacks. Landing the final hit of the enhanced normal attack then pushes her to Strong Connection, unlocking Elyms strongest enhanced skill.

Her enhanced skill automatically scans the field and counts enemies, switching Elyms’s Ultimate between single-target and AoE modes accordingly. The Ultimate’s damage scales with the Connection level at the moment of casting and grants an Attack buff to the entire team (except herself) based on her Base ATK.

After the Ultimate ends she returns to Weak Connection but enters an On-the-Line state that lets her fire follow-up coordinated attacks from off-field. Those attacks also scale with the Connection Strength she had when she cast the Ultimate.

Key skills of Elyms include:

• Basic Skill Interference and enhanced Crosstalk for Cosmos damage while building Connection.
• Redirect Skill Intermittent Existence and its enhanced form Goodbye to You for area damage and Connection progression.
• Support Skill I’m Here, which can also raise Connection and scan targets.
• Ultimate Do You Get Deja Vu, which toggles forms and delivers the team Attack buff.

You can prioritize her Ultimate and Passive early; these drive both her personal burst and the team-wide value that defines the Elyms NTE kit.

NTE Elyms Materials and Pre-Farm Guide

Stockpiling NTE Elyms materials now saves significant time once she drops. Ascension and Esper Ability upgrades require a mix of common and Version 1.5-specific items.

So for her materials and for pre farming, you can just go with the following:

Ascension Materials (to Level 70)

Totals: Beetle Coin ×525,000, Fading Silhouette ×17, Blurred Silhouette ×18, Chaos Silhouette ×15, Tear of the Sea ×86.

Esper Ability Materials (approximate full investment): Dreamless Seed ×96, Fons ×96,000, Fading Silhouette ×40, Blurred Silhouette ×40, Chaos Silhouette ×64, Nestling’s Longing ×40, Dove’s Flutter ×42, The Olive Branch ×65, Hollowflower Seeds ×35, Beetle Coin ×1,818,000.

Sources for the Materials

• Open-world enemies for Silhouettes
• Houdini’s Schemes for The Olive Branch / Dove’s Flutter / Nestling’s Longing
• The new Amber Broodmother Anomaly Pilgrimage for Hollowflower Seeds, and Sea Prisoner
• Anomaly Hunt for Tear of the Sea.

Farming these efficiently while keeping your daily and weekly loops intact is far smoother when your currency and stamina resources are topped up through Enjoygm, letting you clear the new bosses and zones without resource bottlenecks.

Best Arcs, Cartridges, and Stats for the NTE Elyms Build

The Signature Arc – Echoes on Hold is recommended here and it is vailable in the Echo Special Arc Program alongside Elyms Android Dreams banner. This is the clear Best-in-Slot for maximizing her Connection scaling, Ultimate damage, and team buffs. Solid Arc compatibility means she can also use alternatives such as Blow Up the Crowd, Day Off, or Fluff of Fearlessness (especially useful for Battle Pass holders). Early F2P options like Reality Refuge remain viable until you secure her signature.

Cartridge recommendations to consider here are:

• Speedy Hedgehog (4-piece) – Ideal for pure support play. The 2-piece gives Charge Efficiency and the 4-piece grants allies +15% ATK for 20 seconds after the wearer casts Ultimate (does not stack). Perfect synergy with her Instant Cycle and team Attack buff.
• Lost Radiance – Preferable if you want more personal Cosmos damage from her Ultimate and On-the-Line coordinated attacks.

Main stats lean toward ATK% and Cosmos DMG Bonus. Substats prioritize ATK%, Crit Rate / Crit DMG, and Charge Efficiency or Energy-related stats depending on whether you emphasize support or hybrid damage. Modules should fill remaining Console space with shapes that support ATK and damage bonuses.

Skill priority order for Elyms: Ultimate > Passive > Redirect/Enhanced Skills > Basic Attacks.

Elyms NTE Teams and Synergies

Elyms slots naturally into Charge and Remora teams while also serving as a premium upgrade over the Main Character in many Cosmos compositions. Strong Elyms NTE teams include:

Team Focus	Composition	Why It Works
Charge / Akane	Elyms, Akane Rin, Iroi, Sakiri	Completes Cosmos + Anima + Lakshana for Charge; Elyms enhances both Charge and Remora while providing ATK buff and off-field damage.
Hypercarry Shinku	Elyms, Shinku, Hathor, Linko	Shinku takes primary field time; Elyms boosts her and strengthens Remora/Charge; Hathor and Linko add further reaction and off-field value.
Aggressive Quickswap	Elyms, Blackbird, Chaos, Linko	High reaction density and coordinated attacks; less defensive but excellent damage ceiling.
Burst / Hybrid	Elyms, Chaos, Hotori, Iroi	Chaos leads burst windows while Elyms supplies buffs and On-the-Line follow-ups.

She also pairs extremely well with Blackbird for Stain-enhanced setups. Elyms value is largely team-wide, so she can replace the Main Character in most existing Cosmos cores without forcing a full rebuild.

Playstyle, Rotations, and Practical Tips

A typical high-value rotation looks like this:

• Open with normal attacks or Support Skill to reach Medium Connection
• Finish the enhanced normal attack combo to hit Strong Connection
• Then cast Ultimate for maximum damage and the team Attack buff.
• Swap out so her On-the-Line coordinated attacks continue while your primary DPS (Akane, Shinku, or Chaos) takes the field.
• Re-trigger the Ultimate when available to refresh the Attack buff duration.
• Watch Connection Strength carefully because Strong Connection before Ultimate is the highest-impact window.

Elyms has an Instant Cycle, so she can generate Esper Meter extremely efficiently and enables frequent reaction triggers. Avoid over-investing in pure personal damage stats if your goal is team buff uptime; Speedy Hedgehog + ATK-focused main stats usually outperform raw Crit builds in support-oriented teams.

Note that full numerical multipliers and exact Awakening values will be confirmed on release, but the preview data and early community testing already show Elyms is a high-priority pull for any account that values Charge/Remora teams or flexible Cosmos support.

Conclusion

That was pretty much everything.  This Neverness to Everness Elyms build guide gives you everything needed to pre-farm, pull, gear, and deploy her effectively the moment Version 1.5 goes live. Lock in her signature Arc, stack the right Cartridge, and slot her into your Charge or Cosmos cores as she’s designed to make those teams feel noticeably stronger.
