Shinku is a new powerhouse DPS in Neverness to Everness (NTE) capable of dealing plenty of damage. To get the most out of her kit, you need to build her around her post-Ultimate damage and pair her with allies who can support her reaction combos. Whether you're trying to perfect her synergies or figure out the best stat priorities, here's a guide to help you build the ultimate Shinku in NTE.
Best Arcs for Shinku in NTE
Shinku's primary damage window happens right after she casts her Ultimate. The Best Arcs that suit her are those that boost her attack, critical stats, and post-Ultimate potential. Here are the best Arcs for Shinku in NTE.

How It Works |
|---|---|---|
|
Blushing Mirage |
|
This signature weapon maximizes her damage window by boosting her Cosmos Damage and allowing her attacks to ignore enemy defense right after she uses her Ultimate. |
|
Fluff of Ferocity |
|
This strong alternative increases her Critical Damage every time she lands a critical hit. However, it requires you to build up a high Critical Rate to trigger the effect consistently. |
|
A Time Will Come |
|
This free-to-play option provides a valuable Critical Rate boost to make gearing her easier and grants bonus stats when your team uses three different Esper types. |
Best Cartridge and Modules for Shinku in NTE
To make Shiky hit hard in battle, you'll need to stack Cosmos damage and defense shredding. Here are the best Cartridges and Modules for Shinku in NTE.
Best Cartridge: Lost Radiance
Lost Radiance is made for Shinku. When you combine the 25% DEF shred from this 4-piece set with the 12% DEF shred from her signature Blushing Mirage Arc, her Ultimate completely melts enemy health bars.
Best Modules Set
Shinku gains 16% Crit DMG for every Type III Module equipped. Equip a total of four Type III Modules, two from the Lost Radiance set and two free slots. This grants her a massive baseline boost of 64% extra Crit DMG.
Stat Priority
When farming for Cartridge stats, here's what you need to prioritize.
- Main Stats: Crit DMG > Crit Rate > Cosmos DMG > ATK%
- Substats: Crit Rate > Crit DMG > DMG% > ATK%
Skill Priority
Knowing which skills to prioritize is also important for building the strongest Shinku in the game. To optimize your resource investment, level up Shinku's abilities in the following order:
- Basic Attack and Ultimate
- Skill
- Support Skill
Best Teams for Shinku in NTE
Shinku thrives in a team of Sub-DPS characters who can enable her Charge Enhancement passive and trigger rapid Esper Reactions. The best team comp requires no healers or sustain units, only a seamless offensive rotation.
- Shinku (Main DPS / Sub-DPS): Regenerates team energy via her Charge Enhancement.
- Hathor (Sub-DPS / Enabler): Crucial for prolonging the Remora debuff (from 5 seconds to roughly 12 seconds), ensuring the Charge reaction lasts long enough for Shinku to battery the team.
- Zero (Sub-DPS / Trigger): Instantly fills an Esper Cycle with their Skill, allowing for immediate Blossom reactions and drastically reducing team rotation time.
- Nanally (Sub-DPS): Buffs the Blossom reaction for rapid attacks, feeding more energy into Shinku's Charge Enhancement passive.
Step-by-Step Team Rotation
To keep the energy and rotation flowing from Shinku's abilities, here's the team rotation you should follow.
- Start with Shinku: Attack until you fill her Esper Cycle to prep the Remora reaction.
- Switch to Hathor: Cast Ultimate, then Skill to apply and prolong the debuff.
- Switch to Zero: Cast Ultimate, then Skill to instantly trigger an Esper Reaction.
- Switch to Nanally: Cast Skill, then Ultimate. Stay on the field and use Basic Attacks for about 6 seconds until her Underboss disappears.
- Return to Shinku: Cast her Ultimate, followed by Basic Attacks and her Skill. Stay on the field for the entire duration of her Ultimate to fill her Esper Cycle and restart the loop.
