Overview
Clear Skies is an A-Class Arc in Neverness to Everness that provides a direct Anima DMG multiplier for Skill and Ultimate abilities. Unlike Arcs that require specific combat conditions to activate, Clear Skies offers a consistent, unconditional damage increase whenever the wielder uses their Skill or Ultimate. This simplicity makes it one of the most reliable A-Class Arcs for Anima characters.
Clear Skies is element-specific, meaning only characters who deal Anima-type damage through their Skills and Ultimates will benefit from the passive. For those characters, however, the damage increase applies to every Skill and Ultimate cast without any stacking requirements, cooldowns, or additional conditions.
Lore
"Formation complete, securing air superiority."
The brief flavor text uses military aviation terminology, suggesting an aerial combat origin. The phrase "securing air superiority" implies dominance and control of the battlefield from above. This connects thematically to the Arc's function: providing clear, uncontested damage superiority for Anima characters.
Passive Effect
Clear Skies increases all Anima DMG dealt by the wielder's Skill and Ultimate abilities. The bonus applies automatically whenever these abilities deal Anima-type damage.
Level | Anima DMG (Skill/Ultimate) |
|---|---|
L1 | +20% |
L2 | +23% |
L3 | +26% |
L4 | +29% |
L5 | +32% |
At L5, Clear Skies provides a flat +32% Anima DMG bonus to all Skill and Ultimate damage. Because this is a DMG% multiplier rather than an ATK% multiplier, it stacks multiplicatively with ATK bonuses from other sources, providing strong returns when combined with ATK-focused equipment.
Recommended Characters
Clear Skies is exclusively useful for Anima-type characters whose primary damage comes from their Skill and Ultimate abilities.
Nanally: As an Anima character with powerful Skill and Ultimate abilities, Nanally gains full value from Clear Skies' DMG multiplier on every rotation.
Jiuyuan: Jiuyuan's Anima-based kit benefits directly from the Skill and Ultimate DMG bonus, amplifying his core damage output.
Mint: Mint's Anima abilities gain a consistent damage boost from Clear Skies, making it a solid option for her build.
Characters who primarily deal damage through Basic Attacks or non-Anima sources will not benefit from this Arc. It is strictly an Anima Skill/Ultimate amplifier.
How to Obtain
Clear Skies is obtainable through the standard gacha acquisition paths for A-Class Arcs:
Miracle Box tiles: A-Class Arcs appear as rewards on Miracle Box tiles within the gacha board.
10-pull pity: The guaranteed A-Class or higher item within every 10 pulls can yield Clear Skies.
Gameplay and shop currency: Available through in-game shops and reward tracks that offer A-Class equipment.
Strategy Tips
Clear Skies rewards Skill and Ultimate usage, so build your rotation around these abilities rather than Basic Attacks. Characters with low Skill cooldowns benefit most.
Pair Clear Skies with KongMu Gear that boosts ATK or Anima DMG for multiplicative scaling. Since Clear Skies provides DMG%, stacking ATK% from gear creates strong synergy.
In team compositions, pair Anima DPS characters using Clear Skies with supports who can reduce enemy Anima resistance, further amplifying the bonus.
Clear Skies is a "set it and forget it" Arc. Unlike conditional Arcs that require specific triggers, Clear Skies always provides its bonus on Skill and Ultimate damage. This makes it ideal for players who prefer straightforward gameplay without managing proc windows.
