Overview
The Forgotten is an A-Class Solid Arc that flexes between offense and defense depending on the wearer's HP bar. Its Picture Frame passive grants ATK while healthy and switches to DEF when HP drops under half, giving one Arc slot two completely different roles based on situational pressure.
The Forgotten is a 4★ A-Class Solid-type Arc in Neverness to Everness. It rolls a base 475 ATK at Level 80 with a 25% HP% substat. The primary skill, Picture Frame, defines its role across rotations and team compositions.
Lore
"Even if I'm just a complement to those masterpieces, I'm still beautiful too, right?"
The flavor text sets the Arc's tone and gives designers a quick lens on how the Picture Frame passive is meant to feel in play.
Passive Effect
The Picture Frame passive provides the following effect at Refinement Rank 1: Increases ATK by 20% when the wearer's HP is above 50%. Increases DEF by 20% when the wearer's HP is below 50%.
Refinement ranks raise these values without changing the trigger conditions. The table below lists the per-rank scaling.
Level | ATK (HP > 50%) | DEF (HP < 50%) |
|---|---|---|
L1 | +20% | +20% |
L2 | +24% | +24% |
L3 | +28% | +28% |
L4 | +32% | +32% |
L5 | +36% | +36% |
Ascension Materials
Reaching Level 80 with full access to the Picture Frame passive requires six ascension breakthroughs. Each phase raises the level cap and unlocks the next refinement condition. The costs are fixed per Arc and do not scale with refinement rank.
Phase | Level Cap | Gold | Materials |
|---|---|---|---|
Phase 1 | Lv.30 | 16,000 | Iron Appleseed x3, Lost Whispers x3 |
Phase 2 | Lv.40 | 32,000 | Iron Appleseed x8, Lost Whispers x8 |
Phase 3 | Lv.50 | 48,000 | Silver Appleseed x5, Obscure Whispers x5 |
Phase 4 | Lv.60 | 64,000 | Silver Appleseed x10, Obscure Whispers x10 |
Phase 5 | Lv.70 | 80,000 | |
Phase 6 | Lv.80 | 96,000 | Golden Appleseed x10, Paradoxical Whispers x10 |
Compatible Characters
The listed compatible characters share the Arc's core synergy. Any character can equip any Arc regardless of element or skill fit, but these characters gain the full value of the Picture Frame passive thanks to their kits and scaling.
Character | Element | Rarity | Why It Fits |
|---|---|---|---|
5★ | S-Class Cosmos DPS whose Ultimate-heavy rotation rewards buffs that fire on Ultimate cast; a natural fit for the Picture Frame payoff. | ||
5★ | S-Class Anima Caster whose ranged kit benefits from both ATK and healing scaling; a natural fit for the Picture Frame payoff. | ||
5★ | S-Class Cosmos DPS whose adaptable kit scales with raw offensive multipliers and Ultimate windows; a natural fit for the Picture Frame payoff. | ||
4★ | A-Class Psyche Bureau agent whose support utility extends any team-wide damage or sustain buff; a natural fit for the Picture Frame payoff. |

Strategy Tips
Confirm your chosen character's rotation lines up with the Picture Frame trigger before investing refinement materials. An Arc whose condition you cannot reliably fire is worth less than a B-Class Arc you activate every rotation.
At Refinement Rank 1 the values in the passive table are baseline. Early ranks give the biggest jumps; the last couple of ranks are smaller gains and usually not worth duplicating a 5★ Arc unless the character is a dedicated main DPS.
Pair The Forgotten with Solid-aligned Drive Blocks and KongMu Gear. Matching element on support gear stacks multiplicatively with the Arc's passive.
Keep the ascension materials in mind when planning farming routes. The final two phases jump from a 6x to a 12x requirement, which is often the real blocker for hitting Level 80.
Review the Compatible Characters table before equipping. Element mismatch still works, but the biggest multipliers assume the passive's trigger and your character's rotation are synchronized.
