11Overview22Tears Beneath the Mask is an S-Class Gas Arc designed for damage-reduction support play. Its Nestbound Bird passive tags enemies with Warning Gaze on Ultimate hit, cutting their outgoing damage by a meaningful percentage for a full 20 seconds and effectively turning the wearer into a debuff anchor for the whole team.44Tears Beneath the Mask is a 5★ S-Class Gas-type Arc in Neverness to Everness. It rolls a base 512 ATK at Level 80 with a 27.5% ATK% substat. The primary skill, Nestbound Bird, defines its role across rotations and team compositions.77Lore99"Who stole my child? Was it you? Was it him?

The featured S-Class Arc has a 25% chance at soft pity.Long-term currency shopsSelect S-Class Arcs rotate through the Tri-Keys shop and limited event storefronts.3636Strategy Tips3737Confirm your chosen character's rotation lines up with the Nestbound Bird 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 Tears Beneath the Mask with Gas-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.3939Combat Statistics4141FieldValueRarityS-Class (5★)Arc TypeGasBase ATK (Lv. 80)512ATK% (Lv. 80)27.5%4343Passive Effect: Nestbound Bird4444At base refinement (R0), the passive reads: Hits with the wearer's Ultimate apply Warning Gaze to enemies.
