Here is a complete NTE Hotori build guide, which includes her best team, Arc, cartridge, and stats.
Neverness to Everness Hotori Build
Hotori is the leader of the Eibon Antique shop, and she packs quite a punch. Her ability to record skills and stop time is extremely strong, almost doubling the damage of her team. Due to this, she has easily made her way to the top of the NTE tier list. But all of that is only possible when using Hotori’s best build, as given below:
| Arc | Marching Beyond Time |
| Cartridge | Lost Radiance |
| Module Stats | Crit DMG% > Crit Rate% > DMG > ATK% > Flat ATK |
| Team | Hotori, Esper Zero, Nanally, Jiuyuan |
Although you should ideally aim for NTE Hotori’s best build, as given above, there are times when you may want to try alternatives. So, below is a more detailed breakdown of Hotori’s build in Neverness to Everness. Before that, make sure to use the NTE codes to get free Annulith for your next banner pulls.
Hotori Arcs (Weapons)
There are many great Arc options for Hotori in Neverness to Everness. Here are the best Arcs for Hotori in the game:
| Best | Marching Beyond Time |
| Alternative | Fluff of FearlessnessRain That Shook the WorldThe ForgottenFirst Step to SuccessDay Off |
Marching Beyond Time is Hotori’s best Arc in Neverness to Everness. It increases her ATK by 16%, while also increasing the Ultimate Crit DMG by 48% once the conditions are met. But that’s not all, as it also allows her to ignore an extra 12% DEF on enemies.
For alternatives, there are many decent options, like Fluff of Fearlessness, Rain That Shook the World, The Forgotten, First Step to Success, and Day Off. Generally, look for Arcs that increase her ATK while also giving her Crit in the process.
Hotori Cartridge and Stats
You will need to use the best Cartridges to maximize Hotori’s potential. Here are all the possible cartridges you can use on Hotori, along with the best main stats:
| Best | Lost Radiance |
| Alternative | Speedy Hedgehog |
| Stats | Cosmos DMG > Crit |
The best Hotori cartridge is Lost Radiance, which gives her a big Cosmos DMG boost while allowing her to ignore enemy defense by 25% after using Ultimate. Make sure to go for a Cosmos DMG main stat, or a Crit stat if you are lacking it in the sub-stats.
Speedy Hedgehog is a decent alternative; however, it is mostly recommended that you use Lost Radiance instead, due to the large damage drop-off in comparison.
Hotori Module Layout and Best Stats
You will need to have the proper module layout and stats to activate Hotoir’s cartridge. Here is a quick look at Hotori’s module layout and best sub stats:
| Layout |  |
| Bonus Module | Type III — Cosmos DMG |
| Sub Stats | Crit DMG% > Crit Rate% > DMG > ATK% > Cycle Intensity |
As Lost Radiance is Hotori’s best cartridge, use the module layout given in the table to activate it. When it comes to bonus modules, use Type III modules that give Cosmos DMG. When it comes to sub stats for NTE Hotori’s best build, prioritize Crit DMG% and then Crit Rate. Next, you can add further DMG, ATK%, or Cycle Intensity, all being good options.
NTE Hotori Teams
Hotori is an amazing support with very strong sub-DPS capabilities. She can fit into most teams, but here are Hotori’s best team options in NTE:
| Nanally | Jiuyuan | Hotori | Esper Zero |
| Esper Zero | Jiuyuan | Hathor | Hotori |
| Esper Zero | Jiuyuan | Hotori | Haniel |
| Nanally | Esper Zero | Hotori | Sakiri |
As Hotori can record skills and replay them to produce the same effect, Esper Zero and Jiuyuan become her best allies in the game. This makes the Nanally premier team also Hotori’s premier team, as she replaces Sakiri as the final character.
Other than that, you can also play Hotori with Hathor, and with Haniel or Sakiri as supports. You do not need Nanlly to get the best out of Hotori’s build, but she is still an amazing addition.
So, that’s everything there is to know about NTE Hotori’s build and teams. She is one of the best supports and can double the team’s damage with her recording skill, with the build shared by us here. If you have more questions about Hotori, let us know in the comments below.
