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.
"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.
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.
Level | ATK | Damage to Broken Enemies | HP Restore on Broken Kill |
|---|---|---|---|
L1 | +12% | +12% | 30% HP |
L2 | +14% | +14% | 30% |
L3 | +16% | +16% | 30% |
L4 | +18% | +18% | 30% |
L5 | +20% | +20% | 30% |
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.
Phase | Level Cap | Gold | Materials |
|---|---|---|---|
Phase 1 | Lv.30 | 20,000 | Beginner Drama Core x4, Fading Silhouette x4 |
Phase 2 | Lv.40 | 40,000 | Beginner Drama Core x10, Fading Silhouette x10 |
Phase 3 | Lv.50 | 60,000 | Master Drama Core x6, Blurred Silhouette x6 |
Phase 4 | Lv.60 | 80,000 | Master Drama Core x12, Blurred Silhouette x12 |
Phase 5 | Lv.70 | 100,000 | Collector's Drama Core x6, Chaos Silhouette x6 |
Phase 6 | Lv.80 | 120,000 | Collector's Drama Core x12, Chaos Silhouette x12 |
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.
Character | Element | Rarity | Why It Fits |
|---|---|---|---|
5★ | Hathor's kit leans on break-window dps with baked-in self-sustain for attrition fights, so the Deep Blue Sorrow payoff scales smoothly with their rotation and default playstyle. | ||
5★ | Nanally's kit leans on break-window dps with baked-in self-sustain for attrition fights, so the Deep Blue Sorrow payoff scales smoothly with their rotation and default playstyle. |
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.
Method | Details |
|---|---|
Miracle Box 5★ tiles | S-Class Arcs appear as guaranteed 5★ tile payouts on the Arc gacha board. |
Arc banner pity | Soft pity at 60 pulls, hard pity at 80 pulls. The featured S-Class Arc has a 25% chance at soft pity. |
Long-term currency shops | Select S-Class Arcs rotate through the Tri-Keys shop and limited event storefronts. |
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.
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 Song of the Whale with Plasma-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.
