11Overview22Fireflies and the Forest is one of the twelve Cartridge sets in Neverness to Everness. Cartridges are the named, themed pieces of Console Equipment that grant set bonuses when two or four pieces from the same set are placed on a character's grid. Unlike generic Modules, which only contribute raw stats, Cartridges are the part of the loadout that actually shapes a character's playstyle through their 2-piece and 4-piece effects.44Fireflies and the Forest is a Cartridge set built around scaling CRIT DMG through team-wide Anima pressure. The 2-piece bonus raises Anima damage flatly, while the 4-piece stacks 8% CRIT DMG every time an ally lands Anima damage, up to seven stacks. Stacks persist while the wearer is off-field, which makes the set a strong fit for Anima carries who rely on heavy critical hits and tag in for big finishers.88Set Bonuses1010Like other Cartridges in the game, Fireflies and the Forest unlocks an Epic-tier bonus when two pieces of the set are equipped together, and a stronger Legendary-tier bonus when the wearer fields the full four-piece set. The 2-piece is always active. The 4-piece carries the conditional or stacking effect that defines the set.1212PiecesTierEffect2-PieceEpicAnima DMG +10%.4-PieceLegendaryIncreases wearer's CRIT DMG by 8% when a nearby enemy takes Anima DMG from the Team, up to 7 stacks. Each stack lasts 10s. Effect remains active when the character is off-field.1414Main Stat Options1515The main stat on a Cartridge is fixed when the piece drops and is rolled from the same general pool used by every Cartridge set. Higher cell-cost pieces tend to roll the stronger main stats, and main stat values scale linearly between Level 1 and the maximum Level 20 enhancement. The full table below shows the full level-1 to level-20 ranges for every main stat type that Fireflies and the Forest can roll.1717Main StatLevel 1Level 20Essentia36180ATK%7.5%37.5%DEF%10.5%52.5%HP%7.5%37.5%Healing Bonus6.9%34.5%CRIT Rate6.0%30.0%CRIT DMG12.0%60.0%Anima DMG Bonus7.5%37.5%Chaos DMG Bonus7.5%37.5%Cosmos DMG Bonus7.5%37.5%Incantation DMG Bonus7.5%37.5%Lakshana DMG Bonus7.5%37.5%Psyche DMG Bonus7.5%37.5%Destabilization361801919Sub-Stat Options2020Each Cartridge piece rolls up to four sub-stats that are independent of the main stat. Sub-stats can land on any of the following types, and roll values are shared across the cartridge pool. Higher rarity pieces gain more sub-stat slots and stronger initial roll ranges.2222Sub-StatTypeHPFlat or percentage core statATKFlat or percentage core statDEFFlat or percentage core statAnima DMGElemental damage bonusChaos DMGElemental damage bonusCosmos DMGElemental damage bonusIncantation DMGElemental damage bonusLakshana DMGElemental damage bonusPsyche DMGElemental damage bonusCRIT RateCritical statCRIT DMGCritical stat2424Rarity Tiers2525Fireflies and the Forest drops in three rarity tiers. Higher rarity Cartridges roll higher base main-stat values, more sub-stat slots, and reach higher final values when fully enhanced. The intended endgame set is the 5-star (S-Rank) version, with 4-star pieces serving as a strong intermediate option and 3-star pieces filling the slot during early Console builds.2727IconRarityRankRole3-StarB-RankEarly-game placeholder; minimal substat depth.4-StarA-RankMid-progression set; viable for most non-endgame content.5-StarS-RankEndgame target; highest main-stat ceiling and sub-stat slots.2929How to Obtain3030Fireflies and the Forest is farmed alongside the rest of the Cartridge pool through the Rabbit Hole activity, the regular boss and enemy farming mode used to acquire Console Equipment. Runs cost Stamina (the recharging energy used for repeatable rewards), and the player claims drops at the end of each run rather than mid-fight. Specific Cartridge sets are tied to specific Rabbit Hole domains, so farming the right domain is the most efficient way to chase a complete four-piece loadout for this cartridge.3232Like other Console Equipment drops, the rolls on each piece are randomized when it drops. Multiple farming sessions are normally required to land a four-piece set with desirable main stats and sub-stat lines for the intended carry. Stockpiling lower-rarity pieces of the same set is also useful, since they can be consumed as enhancement material to push the keeper pieces to Level 20.3434Recommended Use3636Fireflies and the Forest is built for one general role: Off-field Anima crit-damage amplifier. The 2-piece bonus is always live, while the 4-piece is the part of the set that decides whether this cartridge is worth a slot on a given character. Players building toward this set should plan their team around the conditions written into the 4-piece text, rather than treating it as a generic stat boost.3838Like all Cartridge picks, the choice is also driven by what other sets are available to the wearer. If a more specialized set already covers the character's element or role better than Fireflies and the Forest does, that set takes priority; if not, the bonuses listed above offer one of the strongest options in the current pool.4040Related Pages4242Modules and Consoles: full overview of the Console Equipment system, the grid, and how Modules and Cartridges fit together.Combat System: how Cartridge bonuses interact with attack rotations, swaps, and reactions.Elemental Reactions: reference for Nova, Stain, Scorch, Blossom, Remora, and other reactions named on Cartridge bonuses.Esper Cycle System: how element pairings drive the reactions and Trio Reactions that several Cartridges hook into.Tier List: character rankings to help match this cartridge to the right Esper.4444Compatible Geometries4646A Cartridge can only be installed in a Console panel whose geometry matches one of its compatible shapes.
