Fons Guide — How to Earn & Spend NTE's Basic Currency
Complete guide to earning Fons in NTE. Pink Paws Heist 1M/2 weeks, daily quests, exploration, and spending priority for upgrades.
What Are Fons?
Fons are NTE's basic in-game currency, used for character upgrades, Arc enhancements, and shop purchases. Unlike Beetle Coins (gacha currency) or Annulith (premium currency), Fons are abundant and easily farmable. You'll need millions of Fons for endgame character builds.
Pink Paws Heist — 1 Million per 2 Weeks
The Pink Paws Heist is the most efficient Fons farming method in NTE. This weekly event yields approximately 500,000 Fons per clear, with a biweekly cycle totaling 1,000,000 Fons. Chiz is the featured character for this event and her Grain mechanic makes clearing faster.
- Pink Paws Heist unlocks at Hunter Level 20
- Each clear yields 400,000-600,000 Fons depending on performance
- Biweekly cycle: 2 clears × 500,000 average = 1,000,000 Fons per 2 weeks
- Best team: Chiz (Grain burst) + Sakiri (ATK buff) + Hotori (Cosmic Tag) + Adler (shield)
- Tip: Save Chiz's Ultimate for the final boss phase for maximum Grain Settlement damage

Fons Spending Priority
Fons are consumed by many systems. Prioritize spending to avoid bottlenecks.
- 1. Character Level Up — Most Fons-intensive, prioritize your main DPS (Nanally, Sakiri)
- 2. Arc Enhancement — Secondary priority, focus on S-tier Arcs only
- 3. Cartridge Upgrades — Third priority, only for equipped Cartridges
- 4. Shop Purchases — Buy Ascension materials weekly, skip cosmetic items
- 5. Module Enhancement — Endgame Fons sink, only after main team is built
