11Overview2233S-Class Arcs are the highest rarity weapons in Neverness to Everness. Twenty-three S-Class Arcs were confirmed at the April 29, 2026 global launch; post-launch versions have added three limited S-Class Arcs (What's Desired in Version 1.1, Blushing Mirage and The Wrong Gate in Version 1.2), bringing the total to twenty-six. These weapons pair the strongest base attack values and secondary stat rolls in the game with passive effects that often define a character's combat ceiling. Every S-Class Arc comes from the Scarborough Fair gacha, subject to a soft pity at 60 pulls and a 25 percent chance that a soft-pity S-Class will be the current featured banner weapon.4455Arcs are not locked to specific Espers. Any Caster can equip any Arc regardless of whose banner it debuted on. That flexibility matters because signature passives generally scale best on their intended owner, but fallback picks with high base ATK or a strong secondary roll still outperform mismatched builds on nearly every character.6677Complete S-Class Arc List8899Base ATK and secondary stat values reflect Level 80 maximum across the full Arc pool, including S-Class, A-Class, and B-Class rarities.101011-ImageArcBase ATKSecondary StatValueNotesCamellia Society666CRIT Rate12%Silent Garden: stacking CRIT DMG windows when HP drops without taking enemy damageRaging Flames666CRIT DMG24%Youthful Fantasy570ATK30%Black Tome chain-sealing debuff on Critical Dodges and ParriesReality Refuge570ATK30%The Last Rose570CRIT Rate24%Marching Beyond Time570CRIT Rate24%Blow up the Crowd512ATK27.5%Contemplative Cat512CRIT DMG44%Stacking Cosmos DMG bonus per 100,000 Fons held, up to 45% at 1 millionFluff of Fleetness512CRIT DMG44%Fluff of Fortitude512ATK27.5%Fluff of Ferocity512ATK27.5%Fluff of Finesse512ATK27.5%Fluff of Fearlessness512CRIT Rate22%Hethereau's Keeper512ATK27.5%Tears Beneath the Mask512ATK27.5%Song of the Whale512ATK27.5%Your Happiness is Priceless512DEF38.5%Random defensive buff on Ultimate; highest survivability S-ClassDay Off512Charge Efficiency33%Only S-Rank Charge Efficiency roll; best for rotation-dependent supportsGood Boy's Grand Adventure474ATK45%Team ATK buff on Ultimate use with Ultimate charge rate bonusEternal Waltz424HP41.25%Outlier HP-scaling Arc for survival compositionsReady-Ready570CRIT Rate24%Commander Tiger Talisman: Boss DMG bonus after chaining Skill and Ultimate within 15 secondsStellar Veil512ATK27.5%Aqua Astra: Psyche DMG bonus plus stacking CRIT DMG when dealing Psyche damageThe Rain That Shook the World512CRIT Rate22%Hypervortex: Cosmos DMG bonus on Redirect Skill and Ultimate, plus a refreshing Cycle Intensity buffWhat's Desired570CRIT Rate24%Limited Arc from Version 1.1 Phase 2; Chaos's signature.

Each one pairs a strong stat line with a passive that targets a specific role or build archetype.15151616Camellia Society: 666 base ATK with 12% CRIT Rate. Silent Garden: stacking CRIT DMG windows when HP drops without taking enemy damage.17171818Youthful Fantasy: 570 base ATK with 30% ATK.

Headless Rider passive grants +15% Lakshana DMG (+25% at R5), plus +10% Redirect Skill and Ultimate DMG for 10 seconds after each Ultimate cast (+20% at R5), with a stacking +5% Redirect Skill DMG per cast during the window up to 2 stacks (+9% per stack at R5). The premier signature for Lakshana carries that lean on Ultimate-Redirect Skill burst windows.33333434Detailed Passive Scaling35353636Refinement on an S-Class Arc raises the numerical strength of the named passive at each rank from R1 (base) to R5 (max). Refinement requires duplicate copies of the same Arc, which is rare for S-Class options because limited banner pity is shared across the gacha pool. The full per-rank scaling for the build-defining S-Class passive that has been left undocumented elsewhere is listed below.37373838Raging Flames - Headless Rider39394040Increases Lakshana DMG. Increases the wearer's Redirect Skill and Ultimate DMG for 10 seconds after casting Ultimate. Increases Redirect Skill DMG per cast while active, up to 2 stacks.

The 10-second buff window plus the 2-stack maximum reward casting at least two Redirect Skills per Ultimate cycle. At R5 with both stacks consumed, the total Redirect Skill DMG bonus during the window is +20% (window buff) + +18% (2 × +9% stacks) on top of the always-on +25% Lakshana DMG.44444545How to Obtain S-Class Arcs46464747S-Class Arcs drop from the Scarborough Fair weapon banner. The pity system for Arcs runs separately from the character banner. Key rules:484849-The three limited Arcs are the exception: each is available only through its dedicated Arc Research Program while its banner window runs (Pursuit Special for What's Desired, Resolve Special for Blushing Mirage, Dreamgate Special for The Wrong Gate), with copies obtained by spending Tri-Keys or the program's dedicated keys.49+Limited Arcs use dedicated Arc Research Programs: each is available only through its dedicated Arc Research Program while its banner window runs (Pursuit Special for What's Desired, Resolve Special for Blushing Mirage, Dreamgate Special for The Wrong Gate), with copies obtained by spending Tri-Keys or the program's dedicated keys. Other announced programs include Bright Moon Special for Marching Beyond Time, Nocturne Special for The Last Rose, Tiger Special for Ready-Ready, Spellbound Special for Ravenous Blade, Soundscape Special for Voice of the Voyager, and Roostfeather Special for Crime and Punishment.50505151Soft pity activates at 60 pulls, guaranteeing an S-Class Arc on the next pull.Every 10-pull guarantees at least one A-Class or higher Arc, which still feeds the pity counter toward a soft-pity S-Class.On a limited featured banner, the guaranteed S-Class has a 25 percent chance of being the promoted Arc and a 75 percent chance of being a standard pool S-Class. Neverness to Everness does not have a 50/50 split for character banners, but the Arc banner does use a weighted roll.Refinement requires duplicate copies of the same Arc; each duplicate advances refinement by one rank, up to R5.52525353S-Class Arcs vs A-Class Alternatives54545555Not every character needs a Rank 1 S-Class Arc. Several A-Class Arcs at higher refinement levels outperform unrefined S-Class options for specific roles. Mind Royale at R5 is the go-to budget weapon for stagger-oriented Casters, and Watch Your Heads! remains competitive for Lakshana DPS comps thanks to its CRIT DMG and reaction-scaling passive. For free-to-play accounts, refining an A-Class Arc that matches a main carry's scaling stat is usually a better investment than chasing a second S-Class limited banner.56565757Tips for Pulling and Using S-Class Arcs58585959Prioritize the S-Class Arc whose passive matches your current main DPS. Mismatched passives rarely pay off, even at high base ATK.Save premium gacha currency for Arc banners featuring weapons for the Esper you plan to main. Spending pity on a support Arc while running a carry team wastes pity counter value.Check the Arc loadout preview before committing to a refinement. Some passives look strong on paper but stall on characters whose rotations do not trigger the conditional windows.Claim every free Arc from story, events, and pre-launch campaigns before spending pulls. Free A-Class Arcs like The Forgotten save a full pity cycle worth of pulls.Match the secondary stat to the role. DPS Casters want CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, or ATK rolls; tanks and healers benefit more from HP, DEF, or Charge Efficiency.60606161Related Pages62626363Arcs and Weapons (system overview)Arcs Database (complete stat tables)A-Class Arcs (mid-tier listing)B-Class Arcs (entry-tier listing)Gacha SystemNo 50/50 SystemEquipment EnhancementAwakening SystemEsper RanksTier List
