Hotori's basic attacks, Misty Moon Style

Let's start by breaking down the NTE Hotori build with its attacks that inflict Cosmos damage:

• Misty Moon Style: performs up to 5 consecutive attacks
• Non-Closed Timepiece: when Hotori appears on the field, she's accompanied by a Non-Closed Timepiece. Its hand spins and stores up to 120 units of energy.
• Rippling Waves: Maintain the basic attack to perform a forward rush and inflict 4 instances of Cosmos damage.
• Crescent: Dive attack with an AoE. Hotori benefits from an increase in damage, depending on the height of the fall.
• Half Moment : triggers when the basic attack is launched after a dodge. Hotori raises her Umbrella, attacks and reduces the Break bar of enemies.

Hotori's skill, Present Replay

We continue the NTE Hotori build with his Present Replay skill, which takes place in three phases:

• Hotori uses the energy generated by the Non-Closed Timepiece (minimum 60) to launch her skill
• Inflicts 7 instances of AoE damage
• Restarts allied support and redirection skills for 5 seconds

Good to know: Present Replay has no cooldown.

Hotori's Ultimate, World's Tide

The Neverness to Everness Hotori build is completed by its Ultimate, World's Tide:

• World's Tide can be launched when the Non-Closed Timepiece is fully charged.
• Inflicts 10 instances of AoE damage
• Hotori changes her attack mode: she freezes time, removes all time control debuffs and offers insensitivity to all time control debuffs.
• Hotori repeats attacks recorded during Present Replay
• During World's Tide, Hotori's katana performs combos. When Hotori reaches 10 combos, she inflicts extra heavy damage.

Good to know: World's Tide has no cooldown.

Neverness to Everness Hotori build: top arcs

We continue the NTE Hotori build with the two best Neverness to Everness Arcs that we recommend:

• Marching Beyond Time: CRIT Rate 24% + increases Hotori's defence after 3 support skills before its Ultimate.
• Fluff of Fearlessness: CRIT Rate 22%.
• The Forgotten : HP 25% + provides an attack boost as long as Hotori remains at over 50% HP.

The best cartridge of the NTE Hotori build

The best cartridge in the Neverness to Everness Hotori build is Lost Radiance :

• Epic version: Cosmos DMG +10%.
• Legendary version: Ignores 25% of enemy DEF for 20 seconds after its Ultimate.

Hotori cycle reactions

For the NTE Hotori build to be really useful, it needs to be combined with characters that can create a cycle reaction. Here are the different reactions compatible with Hotori:

• Remora (Lakshana + Cosmos) : reduces the enemy's attack and movement speed.
• Blossom (Cosmos + Anima): Generates a life bud near the target. This bud causes 5 pistils of life to hatch. These then fly towards enemies within range, exploding every two seconds. The pistils deal AoE damage.
• Charge (Lakshana + Cosmo + Anima): Combines with Blossom and gives the active character 10 ultimate energy when the pistils do their damage.
