Zankou is here, and she is one of the strongest DPS units in the game. Her damage output is insanely high, making her one of the high priorities in the NTE banners. If you are planning to get Zankou, you should also know how to play her properly. Here is a complete NTE Zankou build that will help you unlock her true potential in the game.
Neverness to Everness (NTE) Zankou Build
To have Zankou outperform every other team in Neverness to Everness, you have to follow this build. This is the best NTE Zankou build:
Type Information Arc Ravenous Blade Cartridge Crimson: Twin Butterflies Module Stats Crit DMG = Crit Rate > ATK > Cycle Intensity > DMG Team Zankou, Lacrimosa, Iroi, Linko
Zankou is a DPS unit, so you will obviously need to build damage on her. When it comes to damage, nothing is better than Crit and ATK. So, stack as much Crit and ATK as you can on her to make her playable. Make sure to also check Zankou’s place in our NTE tier list.
Zankou Arcs (Weapons)
When it comes to weapons, Zankou truly only has one viable option and that is her signature weapon, Ravenous Blade. This weapon adds an insanely high amount of Crit Rate and Crit Damage
Priority Name Best Ravenous Blade Alternative Contemplative Cat
Watch Your Heads!
Her signature weapon is at least 25% better than her closer alternatives, so you shouldn’t be looking at anything else. But if you cannot afford to get her signature weapon, you can then use Crit weapons like Contemplative Cat and Watch Your Heads!.
Zankou Cartridge and Stats
There is only one true cartridge option for the best NTE Zankou build, as it is vastly better for her than any other option in the game. Here are the best Zankou cartridge and stats in NTE:
Priority and Stat Name Best Crimson: Twin Butterflies Alternative –
Crimson: Twin Butterflies increases Incantation DMG by 10% and increases ATK by 6% for 6 stacks when a nearby enemy is taking. There are no other options that you can potentially use on Zanou.
Zankou Module Layout and Best Stats
Once you have selected her cartridge, you need to equip the proper module layout for Zankou to unlock her full potential. Here is a quick look at Iroi’s module layout and best sub stats:
Type Information Layout 
Bonus Module Type III — Crit DMG Sub Stats Crit DMG = Crit Rate > ATK > Cycle Intensity > DMG
For her Type III bonus module stats, always go for Crit DMG. She is an incredibly strong DPS, and she can deal a ton of damage. For the normal stats, simply prioritize Crit Rate and Crit Damage, followed by Attack, Cycle Intensity, and DMG.
NTE Zankou Teams
Zankou can be played in two reactions — Hexed and Scorch. Her hexed reaction is the best option for her. So, here are the teammates best for Zankou.
| DPS | Sub-DPS | Support/Sub-DPS | Support |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zankou | Lacrimosa | Iroi | Linko |
| Zankou | Lacrimosa | Daffodil | Sakiri |
| Zankou | Daffodil | Hotori | Sakiri |
| Zankou | Daffodil | Haniel | Sakiri |
First, Linko is the perfect partner for Zankou, but she is still a bit far away from releasing. With that said, you can also play her with Lacrimosa, Iroi, and Sakiri, with Sakiri replacing Linko. Other than that, Hotori and Daffodil are also great options for his team. If getting all of them is not possible, use NTE codes to get free banner currency.
So, that’s it. This is the best NTE Zankou build and team. Have more questions about Zankou? Ask us in the comments section below.
