Akane Rin Guide & Best Builds

Welcome to our Akane Rin build guide for Neverness to Everness. Akane Rin is an S-Rank Lakshana element Character available in Neverness to Everness.

In our Akane Rin guide, we'll cover everything you need to know to get the most out of her, from building the best gear and weapons, to important stat priorities and combos.

Akane Rin's Best Arcs

Far Side of the Moon M1
ATK - 570
CRIT DMG - 48%

Gravitide

Increases Crit Rate by 15%.
Increases the wearer's Redirect Skill DMG by 28%. Increases the wearer's Basic Attack DMG by 28% and Lakshana DMG by 20% for 15s after casting a Redirect Skill.
Akane's signature is her best-in-slot Arc, providing her with a strong CRIT DMG substat. The arc effect also grants her CRIT Rate and a potent damage bonus to both her Basic Attack and Redirect Skill, in addition to a bonus to all her Lakshana damage. This greatly increases her damage potential across the board.
The Wrong Gate M1
ATK - 570
ATK - 30%

Reverie Gate

Increases ATK by 16%.
When the wearer performs healing, increases the wearer's Anima DMG dealt by 30% and all allies' DMG dealt by 15% for 20s. Resets the duration when triggered again. Effects with the same name do not stack.
The Wrong Gate is a great alternative Arc, granting Akane a big boost to her ATK in both the Substat and Arc Effect. In addition, if you have her A1 After-School Tabs unlocked, her self-heal will activate the second half of the Arc Effect, allowing her allies to gain that damage buff. This awakening allows Akane to work as somewhat of a support character when paired with the Wrong Gate.
Fluff of Fleetness M1
ATK - 512
CRIT DMG - 44%

Motor Candy

Increases 5% ATK every 1s while the wearer is the active character, up to 5 stacks. Resets when the wearer leaves the field.
Another good alternative option as it provides Akane with a strong CRIT DMG substat almost on par with her Signature as well as a strong ATK boost as long as she stays on field. However, as this Arc provides no CRIT Rate she is much more reliant on having those stats in her Console.
Youthful Fantasy M1
ATK - 570
ATK - 30%

"Black Tome"

Increases Break Intensity by 60.
Seals Arc: Black Tome with two chains by default. Unleashes 1 chain each time any character on the team casts a Support Skill. Makes Arc: Black Tome available when all two chains are unleashed.
Arc: Black Tome — Summons the Black Tome for 20s. Designates an enemy every 5s. Increases the wearer's Chaos DMG dealt to designated enemies by 20%. Deals Chaos DMG equal to 200% of the wearer's ATK to designated enemies when they take Break Damage.
A good free S-Rank Arc for Akane. This Arc provides her with a strong ATK boost in the substat as well as an increase in her break intensity helping with the damage to enemies when they break. However, as she is not designed around breaking, it is not as impactful for her. The black tome summon is only marginally useful for her, as she cannot take advantage of the increased Chaos DMG. However, as an Esper with high ATK, she does help the damage the summon deals to an enemy when it breaks.
Shiny Days M5
ATK - 475
ATK - 25%

Film - MANISH

Increases Break Intensity by 48.
Increases DMG by 10% against Broken units.
A solid A-Rank option that provides the same basic bonuses as Youthful Fantasy, though the ATK substat is lower as an A-Rank. The additional damage to broken units is helpful when it does happen in fights.

Best Console Setups for Akane Rin

Akane's Console bonus is a 10% Attack bonus for every Type III Module.

Street Boxer
Street Boxer cartridge icon+2-cell horizontal shape3-cell horizontal shapeL-shape (variant 3)Z-shape (horizontal)
2-piece: Epic (2): Lakshana DMG +10%.
4-piece: Legendary (4): Increases Crit Chance by 14%. After the team triggers Remora or Stain, increases Crit Chance by an extra 14% for 20s.
Akane's best cartridge set is Street Boxer. As a Lakshana DPS, she greatly benefits from both the increased Lakshana DMG and large CRIT Rate Boost that this console gives. Her unique Remora reaction enhancement periodically applies Remora to enemies during fights without needing to continually activate Esper Cycles. This means that she is basically able to always maintain the full CRIT Rate boost after the first Remora activation.

Akane Rin's Stat Priority

Cartridge Mainstat Priority: CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG > ATK% > Lakshana DMG
Substat Priority: CRIT Rate/DMG > ATK % > Universal Damage % > Flat ATK

Akane is a Lakshana DPS who benefits greatly from high ATK and CRIT stats. Since Street Boxer gives Akane a large boost to her CRIT Rate, CRIT Rate may be less important in her substats depending on the Arc she is using, allowing you to focus on other bonuses.

Akane Rin's Skill Priority

Redirect Skill > Basic ATK > Ultimate > Support Skill

A large portion of her damage comes from her Redirect Skill triggering Reverb Field or Overtone Synced Resonance DMG, so her skill should be the first priority. Basic ATK should be her next priority to maximize her damage as she builds up String Energy for those Synced Resonance attacks. Her Ultimate is next, as it provides a strong hit of damage on par with the Synced Resonance attacks. However, she cannot use her Ultimate as frequently as her Redirect Skill, making it less of a priority. Her Support Skill is her last priority as it is not a major source of damage.

Akane Rin's Awakening Priority

If you have one or multiple copies of a character, you will be able to select Awakenings of your choosing. Remember that you can switch them at any time to try out different ones, or tailor your choices for a specific fight or situation.

Awakening Unlock Order Explanation
Capo On
(A2)
The first recommended choice for Akane is her A2 Capo On. This reduces the Lakshana resistance of enemies, granting a great boost to her damage.
Rehearsal Click
(A5)
Her next recommended Awakening is her A5 as it provides a boost to her skill damage and also almost doubles her Normal Attacks when her reverb field is active.
Front-Row Supernova
(A6)
Akane's A6 is a great third choice, as it provides a flat DEF Ignore bonus whenever she uses her Ultimate. Thanks to her Remora passive making it easier to activate Charge when in a Charge team, her Ultimate can be quickly recharged, allowing her A6 to be activated more often in fights.
Headphone Static
(A4)
Akane's 4th recommended Awakening unlock is Headphone static, this grants her a strong boost to her crit damage after her enhanced Redirect skill. While strong because it is dependent on the enhanced skill it is harder than other awakening to keep it active constantly compared to other awakenings.
Shade Capsules
(A3)
The fifth recommended Awakening is her A3. It both boosts the damage of her Overtone considerably as well as provides her some nice quality of life with the additional enemy pull and increased radius of her skill. This makes it a great option in fights with large groups of weaker enemies; however, its usefulness is lower when fighting bosses.
After-School Tabs
(A1)
Generally, Akanes least recommended awakening is her A1. it provides her a way of self healing as well as increased defense. this makes it very valuable if you are in a fight and struggling to keep her alive. However, if that is not an issue any of the other awakening that increase her damage are a higher priority.

How to Play Akane Rin

Akane Rin is a Lakshana main DPS focused on using her basic attacks and Redirect Skill for the majority of her damage. Her unique Remora enhancement allows her to produce additional Remora stacks onto enemies as well as deal damage to those enemies whenever a stack is applied.

Akane's Redirect Skill has two different variations depending on whether it is held or pressed. The pressed mode inflicts Overtone on an enemy, allowing her basic attacks to deal damage to that enemy even at a range and boosting her basic attack. Her held Redirect Skill puts down a Reverb Field in an area around her and allows her basic attack to target all enemies within the field. This makes Akane highly effective in both single target and group situations.

It is important to note that only one of the two skill effects can be active at a single time, so choosing the right one is important in fights. However, she can switch between them with every use of her skill, so she is never locked into one for long if one is mistakenly cast instead of the other.

Akane has a unique energy called String Energy that she builds with her basic attack combo. When Akane builds enough String Energy through her basic attack, she is able to access an enhanced skill attack dealing a large hit of damage to enemies as long as one of her Redirect Skills is active.

Akane's Ultimate, in addition to its damage, puts her in the Solo Cadenza state, increasing her interruption resistance and unlocking a secondary ultimate attack able to do a large amount of damage.

In rotations, Akane Rin wants as much on-field time as she can, so it is best to only switch off to refresh any support abilities, or activate cycle reactions, before switching back. Her Ultimate state and Redirect Skill effects, however, do not stop when she is off-field. This means it is possible to switch to supports if needed, even during her Ultimate.

It is important to note that the durations of her Redirect Skill effects and Ultimate Solo Cadenza states are not paused when she is off-field, making it so that they can expire. This is particularly important for her Ultimate as it will cause her to lose the second large hit of damage her ultimate provides.
