Overview
Zero is the story protagonist and a Cosmos Sub-DPS, but his value is as an enabler: his Redirect Skill and Ultimate instantly trigger the Blossom Esper Cycle, the reaction that powers NTE's strongest teams. Built with the Esper Cycle stat, he refills his own meter almost instantly — so the reactions never stop. Because he's free, nearly everyone runs him.
Strengths
- Universal Blossom enabler — slots into most top teams
- Free, so every account has him fully unlocked
- Instant Esper-meter refill with the Esper Cycle stat
- Penetration follow-ups add real personal damage on top
Weaknesses
- An enabler, not a standalone carry — needs a strong Main DPS
- Payoff depends on the rest of the team's reaction pieces
- Energy-dependent; wants Charge/Cycle investment
Best Arc (weapon)
Doomrain — boosts the Cosmos DMG of his Redirect Skill and Ultimate, and amplifies Cycle Intensity whenever those skills fire.
Day Off — a flat +30% ATK and the Eclipse window: for 40s, every defeated enemy restores 6 Ultimate Energy (up to 5×). The strongest free option.
Best gear (cartridge set)
Lost Radiance boosts Cosmos DMG and grants 25% Penetration after his Ultimate — letting him fire a high-damage Follow-up Attack straight off the Ult. Prioritise Charge/Cycle stats so the Blossom trigger is always available.
