Full article covering Watch Your Heads! A-Class Arc with L1-L5 stats, Lakshana/reaction synergy, recommended characters, and strategy tips
Watch Your Heads! is an A-Class Arc in Neverness to Everness that enhances Lakshana damage output by providing ATK and Lakshana DMG bonuses after using a Skill. The Lakshana DMG bonus specifically applies to targets affected by Remora or Stain elemental reactions, making this Arc strongest in team compositions that can trigger those reactions consistently.
The passive effect lasts 15 seconds after a Skill use and does not stack, so players do not need to worry about maintaining multiple charges. Instead, the focus is on ensuring that enemies are affected by Remora or Stain before the Lakshana character attacks to maximize the conditional DMG bonus.
"Hee hee hee... Don't be scared, it's just a laughing kite..."
The playful, slightly ominous flavor text contrasts with the Arc's combat-focused mechanics. The reference to a laughing kite suggests a mischievous spirit or creature that appears harmless but carries a hidden threat. This whimsical tone reflects the Arc's nature: what seems like a simple ATK boost conceals a powerful conditional bonus for prepared teams.
After using a Skill, the wielder gains an ATK increase and a Lakshana DMG bonus against targets affected by Remora or Stain reactions. The effect lasts 15 seconds and does not stack. Using another Skill while the buff is active refreshes the timer.
Level | ATK | Lakshana DMG vs Remora/Stain |
|---|---|---|
L1 | +12% | +12% |
L2 | +14% | +14% |
L3 | +16% | +16% |
L4 | +18% | +18% |
L5 | +20% | +20% |
At L5, Watch Your Heads! provides +20% ATK and +20% Lakshana DMG against afflicted targets. The ATK bonus applies universally to all damage, while the Lakshana DMG bonus is conditional on the target having a Remora or Stain status. Both bonuses together make this Arc a strong choice for reaction-based team compositions.
Watch Your Heads! is designed for Lakshana characters who operate on teams capable of applying Remora or Stain reactions to enemies.
Hathor: As a Lakshana DPS character, Hathor benefits from both the ATK boost and the conditional Lakshana DMG increase. Pairing her with teammates who trigger Remora or Stain maximizes the Arc's value.
Skia: Skia's Lakshana kit gains a significant damage boost when enemies are under Remora or Stain effects, making Watch Your Heads! a natural fit for reaction-focused team builds.
Characters who do not deal Lakshana damage or teams that cannot reliably trigger Remora or Stain reactions will not get full value from this Arc. The ATK bonus alone is usable but modest compared to other A-Class options.
Watch Your Heads! is available through the standard gacha acquisition methods for A-Class Arcs:
Miracle Box tiles: A-Class Arcs appear on Miracle Box tiles within the gacha board.
10-pull pity: The guaranteed A-Class or higher item within every 10 pulls.
Gameplay and shop currency: Available through in-game shops and reward tracks.
Team composition is critical for Watch Your Heads!. Build teams that can apply Remora or Stain reactions before the Lakshana character attacks. Use the Esper Cycle to swap to element applicators first, then switch to the Lakshana DPS.
Since the buff does not stack, you only need to use a Skill once every 15 seconds to maintain the effect. Focus on maximizing damage within each buff window rather than spamming Skills.
The ATK bonus applies to all damage types, not just Lakshana. Even if a target is not affected by Remora or Stain, the wielder still benefits from the ATK increase after using a Skill.
In multi-enemy encounters, prioritize applying Remora or Stain to high-priority targets before focusing Lakshana damage on them to maximize the conditional bonus.
