"Real Music"

Initial version (2026-04-22)
"Real Music" is a B-Class Liquid Arc with a simple always-on effect: a flat Redirect Skill DMG bonus that works without conditions or triggers. It is one of the cleaner early-game budget options for any character that leans on Redirect Skill damage.
"Real Music" is a 3★ B-Class Liquid-type Arc in Neverness to Everness. It rolls a base 380 ATK at Level 80 with a 20% ATK% substat. The primary skill, Haunted Record, defines its role across rotations and team compositions.
"Waddaya mean ya prefer 'real music'? Is this not 'real' enough for yer taste?"
The flavor text sets the Arc's tone and gives designers a quick lens on how the Haunted Record passive is meant to feel in play.
The Haunted Record passive provides the following effect at Refinement Rank 1: Grants the wearer a 12% Redirect Skill DMG bonus.
Refinement ranks raise these values without changing the trigger conditions. The table below lists the per-rank scaling.
Level | Redirect Skill DMG |
|---|---|
L1 | +12% |
L2 | +13% |
L3 | +14% |
L4 | +15% |
L5 | +16% |
Reaching Level 80 with full access to the Haunted Record 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 | 12,000 | Beginner Drama Core x2, Suspended Delusions x2 |
Phase 2 | Lv.40 | 24,000 | Beginner Drama Core x6, Suspended Delusions x6 |
Phase 3 | Lv.50 | 36,000 | Master Drama Core x4, Yearning Delusions x4 |
Phase 4 | Lv.60 | 48,000 | Master Drama Core x8, Yearning Delusions x8 |
Phase 5 | Lv.70 | 60,000 | Collector's Drama Core x4, Transcendent Delusions x4 |
Phase 6 | Lv.80 | 72,000 | Collector's Drama Core x8, Transcendent Delusions x8 |
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 Haunted Record passive thanks to their kits and scaling.
Character | Element | Rarity | Why It Fits |
|---|---|---|---|
Chaos | 5★ | Daffodil's kit leans on unconditional redirect skill dmg bonus for early-game skill-focused builds, so the Haunted Record payoff scales smoothly with their rotation and default playstyle. | |
Chaos | 5★ | Lacrimosa's kit leans on unconditional redirect skill dmg bonus for early-game skill-focused builds, so the Haunted Record payoff scales smoothly with their rotation and default playstyle. | |
Cosmos | 4★ | Edgar's kit leans on unconditional redirect skill dmg bonus for early-game skill-focused builds, so the Haunted Record payoff scales smoothly with their rotation and default playstyle. | |
Anima | 4★ | Mint's kit leans on unconditional redirect skill dmg bonus for early-game skill-focused builds, so the Haunted Record payoff scales smoothly with their rotation and default playstyle. |
"Real Music" is acquired through the standard Arc acquisition methods in Neverness to Everness. B-Class Arcs can appear in the gacha system and its pity guarantees, in specific shop rotations, and in limited event reward tracks.
Method | Details |
|---|---|
Starter pulls | B-Class Arcs are the most common pull result and form the bulk of early-game Arc inventory. |
Beginner shops | B-Class Arcs are available through beginner currency shops and early-stage rewards. |
Event reward tracks | Most event tracks include a B-Class Arc at an early tier for players still building their roster. |
Confirm your chosen character's rotation lines up with the Haunted Record 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 "Real Music" with Liquid-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.
