Incantation Esper Element, Characters, and Esper Cycles

In Neverness to Everness, each character is aligned with a specific Element. These Elements all have unique capabilities and utilities. This page will provide a quick overview over the Incantation Element, the characters using it, and its distinct features. For a general overview of what Elements do and how they interact via Esper Reactions and Cycles, make sure to check out our Esper Cycle guide:

Esper Cycles are special effects caused by building Esper Meter on your characters during combat, and then switching to them to trigger Esper attacks. Chaining multiple of these will cause reactions between the elements, called an Esper Cycle.

Incantation has three reactions:

• Incantation and Anima - Causes the Hexed effect, which will cause a burst of damage based on the Anima and Incantation damage the target has taken in the last couple of seconds.
• Incantation and Chaos - Causes the Scorch effect, dealing damage over time.
• Incantation + Chaos + Psyche - Discord: If the enemy is affected by both Scorch (Incantation+Chaos) and Nova (Chaos+Psyche) at the same time, they will take a massive amount of Stagger damage.

Certain characters can further boost the benefits of the effects caused by the Esper Cycle. For Incantation, these effects are Scorch, Hexed, and Discord. Having the following characters in your team lets you buff those effects via their Support passives:

• Scorch (Chaos+Incantation):
  • Zankou: Scorch can stack up to a maximum of 3 times. When the entire team applies DOT to a target affected by Scorch, for each stack of DOT applied, Zankou applies 1 stack of Scorch to the target. The damage, elemental type, and duration of any existing Scorch is refreshed to match the effect of the recently applied Scorch. Applying Scorch does not trigger this effect repeatedly.
  • Adler: Applies one of three random debuffs alongside Scorch: -20% ATK, -10% Esper Res, +10% Break Efficiency.
  • Baicang: Applies a second stack of scorch when generating a Power Word (one of his abilities) on the enemy.
  • Sakiri: Increases DoT taken by the enemy by 25% for each DoT they are affected by, up to 100%.
• Hexed (Incantation+Chaos):
  • No Enhancement for Hexed currently exists.
• Discord (Incantation+Chaos+Psyche)
  • Daffodill: Further reduces the target's break cap by 10% for 30s, and can stack multiple times.
  • Lacrimosa: Deals 400% of her ATK as bonus damage when triggering Discord against a target that is already broken.
