2026-08-13

Hi,Espers!Zankou is a highly anticipated S-Class character arriving in 19 August Neverness to
Everness Version 1.3. Officially,Zankou is positioned as a character whose core mechanism is Damage Over Time and could be utilised as either a main DPS or a secondary DPS within a team. Since the CN Beta has officially launched Zankou today, you can now begin preparing her pre-farm materials,including required boss drops and upgrade currency in advance. This guide aims to provide players planing to pull her upon release with a list of confirmed materials, including Ascension materials, skill materials and essential signature arc materials .Also,If you’d like to find out about build guide for the latest characters, you can go check out Iroi’s build here👈.
Zankou Ascension Materials
Below are lists of all the materials required from lv.1 to reach lv.80 for Zankou, along with the quantities needed.
| Material | Required Amount |
| Beetle Coin | 525,000 |
| Blurred Numeral | 17 |
| Unsolved Numeral | 18 |

| Nest Guard Fragment | 86 |
The Neverness to Everness official website has published Zankou-related content; please refer to the NTE social media links for further details.👇
Zankou Skill Materials
For Zankou, the primary skill upgrades demand the First Expectations material family,
paired with the rare Eternal Memory drops.I would recommend prioritising the collection of ‘Eternal Memory’ and ‘Black Hat’,while ‘Unsolved Numeral’ and ‘Unsolved Numeral’ can be farmed together.
To max Zankou main skills, farm the following:
| Material | Required Amount |
| Dreamless Seed | 96 |
| Fons | 38,400 |
| Beetle Coin | 1818,000 |
| Blurred Numeral | 40 |
| Unsolved Numeral | 40 |
| Distorted Numeral | 64 |
| First Expectations | 40 |
| Known Weariness | 42 |
| Black Hat | 65 |
| Eternal Memory | 35 |
Zankou Signature Arc Materials
Ravenous Blade
Ravenous Blade is Zankou’s signature weapon and my top recommendation for her gas Arc; its special effect grants a very high critical hit rate and critical damage, giving a significant boost to stats. If you’re looking for a stable performed alternative, you might consider the A-rank ‘Watch Your Heads’.
| Material | Required Amount |
| Beetle Coin | 420,000 |
| Beaty | 14 |
| Versey | 18 |
| Harmony | 18 |
| Blurred Numeral | 14 |
| Unsolved Numeral | 18 |
| Distorted Numeral | 18 |
If you’re looking for a stable performed alternative, you might consider the A-rank ‘Watch Your Heads’.
Conclusion
The names, required quantities, and acquisition methods of Zankou materials may change before the official release of the new version, so always verify the latest in-game information before committing your resources. When prefarming, prioritize universal resources and officially confirmed upgrade materials,like universal character EXP materials and flexible stamina resources as these are less likely to be wasted. So,that’s so much for Zankou’s materials guide,but don't forget to top up your NTE Riftcrystals through BuffBuff at best rates and pull her at the very beginning of Version 1.3.
