Lacrimosa — Build, Teams & Pull Guide (Global v1.1)
Lacrimosa is a A-tier Chaos DPS (Nightmare) 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 you need Chaos DPS and can commit toward ~14,400 Annulith pity (90 × 160). Skip if one pity is your entire budget and you prefer the Lakshana phase 2 unit — pity should carry to Chaos phase 2 (expected after Jun 24).
Lacrimosa is the premier Chaos DPS in Patch v1.1 — Nightmare reaction (DEF shred) is powerful for boss content. Budget: worst case 14,400 Annulith; soft pity from pull 70. She pairs with {character:hathor} or {character:daffodil} for Lakshana coverage. Compare against saving for the v1.1 second-half banner on the banner guide before spending.

Lacrimosa Skills & Role in Neverness to Everness (NTE)
Lacrimosa is a A-tier Chaos DPS (Nightmare)in Neverness to Everness (NTE) on Global server (reported · 2026-06-04).
Lacrimosa is a Chaos DPS introduced in Patch v1.1 who specializes in Nightmare reaction teams — her kit revolves around applying Chaos marks that reduce enemy DEF, then detonating them for burst damage. Her Skill applies Chaos marks to nearby enemies and deals Chaos DMG; her Ultimate detonates all active marks for massive AoE Chaos damage scaled by the number of marks consumed. The core mechanic is: Skill to apply marks → swap to sub-DPS for additional damage → swap back to detonate during burst window. She pairs best with Lakshana characters like {character:hathor} for Nightmare reaction (Chaos + Lakshana = DEF shred). Check the [Patch 1.1 Guide](/patch-1-1) for banner details and the [Gacha Calculator](/gacha-calculator) for pull odds.
