Getting started in Neverness to Everness
Your first hours in Hethereau: building a party of three Espers and finding your footing.
In-game sourced
Neverness to Everness is an open-world action RPG from Hotta Studio set in the modern city of Hethereau. Your first goal is simple: get comfortable with movement, your party, and the rhythm of combat before chasing power.
Build your party of three
You fight with a party of three Espers and swap between them on the fly. Early on, pick one Esper you enjoy attacking with, then round out the trio so your three slots cover different elements. Switching Espers mid-fight is not just for survival; landing a swap right as your active Esper finishes a combo keeps your damage flowing without downtime.
Learn the city before the grind
- Explore Hethereau on foot first so you learn fast-travel points and vendors.
- Talk to NPCs to unlock side activities; many hand out useful early gear.
- Open the map often and clear nearby points of interest rather than running straight to the next main mission.
Spend resources slowly
Resist dumping upgrade materials into your starter Espers. As you progress through 2026’s early content, you will pull stronger units and better gear. Keep a small reserve, upgrade only what you actively play, and revisit your loadout after every few story beats. Steady, deliberate investment beats spreading yourself thin across the whole roster.
