What it is
NTE Guide is a fan-made site dedicated exclusively to Neverness to Everness, with scope combining editorial wiki (SS/S+/S/A/B tier list, character pages with builds), interactive map of Hethereau with chest and POI locations, build calculator that suggests optimal stats and gear per character and role, and a DPS calculator computing skill damage, rotation, and build comparisons.
Available in English and Spanish, making it one of the few options with native Spanish coverage. Free, no required login, no paywall.
What problem it solves
NTE Guide tackles two problems at once: editorial coverage (tier list, build recommendations, character guides) and verifiable math (DPS calc, build calc). Instead of keeping Prydwen open for editorial and NTE Wiki Online for math, you can do both at the same domain.
For Spanish-speaking audiences, it solves the always-read-in-English problem — texts are localized, although translation can be patchy in newer sections.
Differentiation
Against Prydwen: NTE Guide has native calculators Prydwen doesn't, but Prydwen has denser editorial reviews and better track record in the gacha genre. If you want calc, NTE Guide; if you want editorial, Prydwen.
Against Zero Luck: both cover similar scope (tier list + calc + map + database). NTE Guide has Spanish localization, Zero Luck doesn't. Zero Luck has stronger community features (build sharing, leaderboards), NTE Guide is more top-down.
What people use it for
- Tier list updates: weekly checks for tier changes to evaluate currency spending.
- DPS comparisons: dropping two builds into the calc to see which deals more damage before farming materials.
- Hethereau map: locating chests, anomalies, and POIs during exploration.
- Spanish-language onboarding: Spanish readers who don't handle English well.
- Cross-referencing: validating a YouTube build against the site's build calculator to see if suggested stats match.
Who this tool is NOT for
If you read English fine and want the best editorial coverage, Prydwen is preferable. If you need community tools (build sharing, groups), Zero Luck has the better social stack. If you only want the map, interactivemap.app has more markers (4000+ vs NTE Guide's more curated set).
How it's used in practice
- You go to
nteguide.com/en/(or/es/) and the home shows the tier list and links to sections. - To evaluate an Esper, click their tile in the tier list or open the characters section.
- For DPS calc, Calculator → DPS, pick character, Arc, Cartridges, and stats; returns damage per skill and rotation.
- For builds, Calculator → Build, pick character and role; it suggests main/sub stats, weapon, and team comp.
- For map, click Map and filter by marker category.
Honest limitations
- Patchy Spanish translation: new sections often take time to localize, you can find ES/EN mix on recent pages.
- Database less deep than Zero Luck: covers essentials but some rare Cartridge sets or Arcs may have thin pages.
- No login for tracking: doesn't sync your account; the calcs are standalone.
- No community features: no forums or own Discord; conversation happens elsewhere.
How to get started
