Song of the Whale

Overview

Song of the Whale is an S-Class Plasma Arc that pairs a flat ATK buff with a dedicated damage multiplier against Broken enemies, with a sizeable self-heal as built-in sustain. Its Deep Blue Sorrow passive is designed to reward teams that chain break windows: every broken enemy killed inside the 30-second window also patches the wearer back up with 30% HP.

Song of the Whale is a 5★ S-Class Plasma-type Arc in Neverness to Everness. It rolls a base 512 ATK at Level 80 with a 27.5% ATK% substat. The primary skill, Deep Blue Sorrow, defines its role across rotations and team compositions.

Lore

"The surging tide is its final farewell."

The flavor text sets the Arc's tone and gives designers a quick lens on how the Deep Blue Sorrow passive is meant to feel in play.

Passive Effect

The Deep Blue Sorrow passive provides the following effect at Refinement Rank 1: Increases ATK by 12%. Increases the wearer's damage to Broken enemies by 12%. Restores 30% of the wearer's HP when a Broken enemy is defeated. Triggers at most once every 30s.

Refinement ranks raise these values without changing the trigger conditions. The table below lists the per-rank scaling.

Ascension Materials

Reaching Level 80 with full access to the Deep Blue Sorrow 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.

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 Deep Blue Sorrow passive thanks to their kits and scaling.

How to Obtain

Song of the Whale is acquired through the standard Arc acquisition methods in Neverness to Everness. S-Class Arcs can appear in the gacha system and its pity guarantees, in specific shop rotations, and in limited event reward tracks.

Strategy Tips

1. Confirm your chosen character's rotation lines up with the Deep Blue Sorrow 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.

2. 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.

3. Pair Song of the Whale with Plasma-aligned Drive Blocks and KongMu Gear. Matching element on support gear stacks multiplicatively with the Arc's passive.

4. 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.

5. 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.
