NTE Echoes & Artifacts Guide - Best Sets & Main Stats

Complete echoes database with set bonuses, main stat recommendations, and farming tips. Updated: June 11, 2026

Echoes are the equipment system in Neverness to Everness, similar to artifacts in other gacha games. Each character can equip 5 Echo pieces (4 main slots + 1 Cost slot). Echo sets provide powerful 2-piece and 5-piece bonuses that define your character's build. Farming the right main stats and substats is key to endgame progression.

Farming Tips

Farm Lingering Tunes first - it's the most universal set and works on any DPS.
Crit Rate/DMG on Cost 4 is the most important piece. Farm until you get a good one.
Element DMG% on Cost 3 is better than ATK% for most DPS characters.
Substat priority: Crit Rate/DMG > ATK% > Energy Regen > Flat ATK.
Don't over-farm early: Wait until you can clear the highest difficulty for best drop rates.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best echo sets for DPS?

Lingering Tunes is the universal best DPS set, providing ATK bonuses and a strong 5-piece effect. For elemental DPS, match the element-specific set (Freezing Frost for Ice, Molten Rift for Fire, etc.). Farm the universal set first, then transition to element-specific sets.

What main stats should I look for on echoes?

Sands: ATK% for DPS, HP% or Energy Regen for supports. Goblet: Elemental DMG Bonus for DPS, HP% or ATK% for supports. Circlet: Crit Rate or Crit DMG for DPS, Healing Bonus or HP% for healers. Always prioritize main stat over set bonuses.

How do I farm echoes efficiently?

Focus on weekly bosses for guaranteed 5-star echoes, then farm domain bosses for specific sets. Use your waveplates wisely - prioritize bosses that drop the set you need. The Daily Checklist tool helps you track your waveplate spending.

Can I transfer echoes between characters?

Yes! Echoes can be freely swapped between any characters. This means you can build one great echo set and share it between characters of the same element. This is especially useful for free-to-play accounts with limited resources.
