Revision 4

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.

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.

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:

Strategy Tips

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. In team compositions, pair Anima DPS characters using Clear Skies with supports who can reduce enemy Anima resistance, further amplifying the bonus.

4. 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.

Best Characters

Clear Skies performs best on Casters whose kit matches the passive trigger conditions. The table below lists confirmed launch Espers that pair well with this Arc.

Alternatives and Comparisons

If Clear Skies is not available, or if a higher-rarity option fits your roster better, these alternatives cover similar roles:

• Good Boy's Grand Adventure. S-Class option with a higher ATK percentage roll (45%) but requires Ultimate uptime.

• Youthful Fantasy. S-Class rival with 30% ATK but conditional activation.

Team Composition Notes

Clear Skies slots into compositions where its passive can trigger consistently. Review the Team Building Guide for broader roster synergy principles, and the Tier List for current meta matchups. The Trio Reactions and Elemental Reactions articles explain how element-specific passive effects scale in multi-Caster teams.

How to Obtain

Clear Skies drops from the Scarborough Fair gacha banner. Every 10-pull guarantees at least one A-Class or higher Arc, so consistent pulling produces copies for refinement without requiring soft pity. Some A-Class Arcs also appear in event shops and as story milestone rewards, including the free event-exclusive The Forgotten from the Hethereau Residents Guide pre-launch campaign.

Extended Tips

• Clear Skies has the best unconditional uptime of any A-Class Anima-focused Arc, which makes it a strong pity bridge while pulling for an S-Class Arc.

• The secondary stat is flat ATK percentage, so it scales with the wearer's base ATK rather than element mastery. Pair it with flat ATK stat boosts from Modules and Disks.

• Do not equip Clear Skies on non-Anima Casters; the passive multiplier specifically targets Anima damage types and is wasted on other elements.
