Lacrimosa stands out as an S‑tier DPS in Neverness to Everness, delivering some of the highest single‑target damage when paired with the optimal Arc, cartridge, and stat distribution.
Optimal Arc Selection
The weapon that most unlocks Lacrimosa’s potential is The Last Rose. After her skill activates, it grants a 60 % boost to critical damage, immediately elevating her burst output. For players seeking viable substitutes, Fluff of Fearlessness and Youthful Fantasy remain solid S‑class choices, while Shiny Days and Real Music offer acceptable fallback options.
Cartridge Choice and Stat Priorities
Equipping the Diabolos cartridge maximizes her Chaos damage, adding a flat 10 % increase and bypassing 36 % of enemy Chaos resistance. Shadow Creed can fill the slot when Diabolos is unavailable, though it lags behind in raw potency. Statistically, critical rate should be stacked before critical damage when The Last Rose is active; without that Arc, both crit rate and crit dmg are equally valuable, followed by overall damage and attack percentage.
Module Layout and Sub‑Stats
A Type III Chaos DMG bonus module occupies the left‑most slot, delivering the required Chaos damage uplift to trigger the cartridge effect. The remaining slots should host modules that reinforce critical performance. Prioritize sub‑stats in this order: critical rate %, critical damage %, general damage %, then attack %.
- Primary module: Type III – Chaos DMG
- Secondary emphasis: Crit Rate % → Crit DMG % → DMG % → ATK %
- Low‑priority slots: Break Intensity, Cycle Intensity
Top Team Compositions
Effective squads pair Lacrimosa with allies that apply Scorch, enabling the Discord mechanic to amplify her damage. A reliable sub‑DPS slot is filled by Daffodill, whose Break damage synergizes well. Alternative sub‑DPS options include Baicang, though both characters compete for field time. Support roles are best covered by Haniel and Sakiri, offering flat stat buffs; Hathor serves as a secondary support, while Fadia and Adler can be swapped in for sustain.
- Core DPS: Lacrimosa + Daffodill + Haniel + Sakiri
- Variant 1: Lacrimosa + Daffodill + Sakiri + Fadia
- Variant 2: Lacrimosa + Baicang + Haniel + Sakiri
- Variant 3: Lacrimosa + Daffodill + Haniel + Adler
- Variant 4: Lacrimosa + Hotori + Hathor + Haniel
Final Assessment
By aligning The Last Rose, Diabolos, a Crit‑centric module layout, and a Scorch‑centric roster, Lacrimosa can dominate the current NTE meta, turning her whimsical tomato theme into a ruthless damage engine.
