Chaos — Build, Teams & Pull Guide (Global v1.1)
Chaos is a S-tier Lakshana DPS in Neverness to Everness (NTE). This Neverness to Everness build page covers best Arcs, Cartridges, team comps, and pull verdict for Global v1.1.
Pull if pity carries from Lacrimosa and you need a Lakshana Main DPS — Chaos is the only limited Lakshana carry in v1.1 Phase 2. Skip if one 90-pull (14,400 Annulith) is your entire budget and Chiz + Hathor already cover Lakshana damage.
First limited Lakshana Main DPS and NTE's first limited male S-rank. No 50/50: worst case 90 pulls (14,400 Annulith). Warrant debuff amplifies whole-team damage in Stain and Charge lanes. Banner is 14 days only (Jun 24 – Jul 8) — shorter than Lacrimosa's 21-day window. Signature Arc Pursuit Special shares the same dates.

Chaos Skills & Role in Neverness to Everness (NTE)
Chaos is a S-tier Lakshana DPSin Neverness to Everness (NTE) on Global server (reported · 2026-06-10).
Chaos is NTE's first limited S-rank male character — a Lakshana Melee Main DPS on the Forsaken Path banner (June 24 – July 8, 2026). ETD Squad 6 member wielding scythe and gun. Core loop: build **Crime Charges** through normal attacks and skills → apply **Warrant** via Redirect Skill (amplifies all damage to that target for 8 seconds) → spend charges on **Crime Surge** follow-up bursts → **Retribution** (Ultimate) applies Warrant on hit and supercharges follow-up damage. **Fog Hound** fights alongside him in combat and can be placed as an open-world teleport anchor. Rotation priority: stack Crime Charges → Warrant before Crime Surge → Retribution during boss break windows. Lakshana element — pairs with Psyche for Stain, Cosmos + Anima for Charge triangle. See [/scarborough-fair](/scarborough-fair) for pity planning and [/banner](/banner) for banner dates.

Recommended Build
Chaos's limited signature Arc (Arc Research Program Jun 24 – Jul 8, same window as his banner). CRIT-focused stats align with Crime Surge burst windows. Pull only if you commit to Chaos — F2P can skip and use Lakshana 4-star Arcs until a rerun.
Apply Warrant before Crime Surge — Diabolos bonus is active during his highest-damage window. Best-in-slot for burst-focused Lakshana DPS rotation.
Crime Surge and Retribution scale with ATK and CRIT stats. Street Boxer or other Lakshana Cartridge sets work until Pursuit Special is affordable. Free {character:chiz} covers Cosmos burst if you run a Charge triangle instead.
Recommended Teams
Fadia (Psyche) triggers Stain with Chaos's Lakshana — 20% increased Psyche and Lakshana damage for 12s. Adler and Haniel are free A-rank story units. No limited pulls beyond Chaos required.
Cosmos (Chiz) + Anima (Zero) + Lakshana (Chaos) enables Charge triple reaction when Blossom and Remora stack on one target. Edgar sustains; Chiz is free from City Tycoon Level 18. Strong boss burst once rotations are learned.

Chaos FAQ
When does Chaos release in NTE?
Chaos's limited banner Forsaken Path runs June 24 – July 8, 2026 as part of NTE Version 1.1 Phase 2. His banner is 14 days — shorter than Lacrimosa's 21 days, so decide before the window closes.
What element is Chaos in NTE?
Lakshana — not the Chaos element despite his name. He triggers Stain reaction with Psyche characters like Fadia, and fits the Cosmos + Anima + Lakshana Charge triangle with Chiz and Zero.
Should I pull Chaos in NTE?
Recommended if you saved pity from Lacrimosa and want the only limited Lakshana Main DPS in v1.1 Phase 2. His Warrant debuff amplifies team damage — strong in Stain and Charge teams. Skip if Chiz and Hathor already cover your Lakshana needs and 14,400 Annulith is your only budget. See /banner and /f2p-guide before spending.
Does pity carry over from Lacrimosa to Chaos banner?
Yes. NTE pity carries over between all limited character boards. Every pull on Lacrimosa's Fading Reverie banner counts toward Chaos's hard pity at 90 pulls.
Is Chaos good for F2P players in NTE?
Yes — his best F2P team uses Fadia, Adler, and Haniel (all free except Chaos himself). No 50/50 means budgeting 90 pulls max for a guarantee. Pair with free Chiz if running the Charge triangle. See /f2p-guide for Annulith planning.
What is Chaos's rotation in NTE?
Build Crime Charges with normals and skills → apply Warrant with Redirect Skill before spending charges → Crime Surge for burst follow-ups → Retribution Ultimate during break windows to refresh Warrant and amplify follow-up damage. Place Fog Hound as a teleport anchor in open world; it also assists in combat.
