Zankou build in Neverness to Everness

Calculation method and coverageData incorporated
These are public evidence samples from 5 searchable regions, not every account on every server.

Public records from China and global sources are combined. Source region and language alone do not verify a player's game server; undisclosed servers are not inferred. Identical person, character, Cartridge, main stat and substats count once; a difference in any field preserves a separate setup. Undisclosed options are not assumed equal and are excluded from that metric’s denominator. Ambiguous overlapping partial disclosures from one player remain pending. Guide recommendations remain separate from actual use.

Data incorporated

This date marks a site data or explanation update, not the completion of every source review or a play date. The collected corpus has no fixed publication-date window and includes historical public records. Publication and review dates are separate; undisclosed dates are not inferred.

Reading records from different versions

Historical clear times and scores do not establish a current-version performance ranking.

Evidence read from the original source

Version 1.4 was announced for September 24 in mainland China and September 30 globally. Individual content has its own schedule; a universal seven-day offset does not apply. The update fixed Linko's coordinated-attack damage calculation and a Lacrimosa awakening interaction with Linko.

Do not turn generic Sub Stats into either equipment-specific weighted list. Exact ordering and ties retained in consoleStatProfilesUnattributed. This replaces stale source+character data, not a new independent author sample. SubDPS context has tied main Crit DMG=Cycle and tied sub Cycle=DMG=CritRate. Retain both contexts without manufacturing another sample. Break-Intensity special build is conditional on A5. Original source priority (not equipment-specific): Main DPS: Main Crit DMG % > Cycle Intensity > Incantation DMG % > Crit Rate % > ATK %; Sub Crit DMG % > Cycle Intensity = Crit Rate % > DMG % > ATK % > Break Intensity* | SubDPS: Main Crit DMG % = Cycle Intensity > Incantation DMG % > Crit Rate % = ATK %; Sub Crit DMG % > Cycle Intensity = DMG % = Crit Rate % > ATK % > Break Intensity* Crimson Twin Butterflies is Main-DPS advice; Lost Radiance is Sub-DPS Scorch advice. Their displayed 100% comparisons are role-specific, not universal joint first. Main DPS prioritizes CRIT DMG; Sub DPS ties CRIT DMG with Cycle. Break Intensity subs can become third-best specifically in an A5 Break build. A5 adds one eligible Break per battle and excludes bosses in Character Balance Mode; its gain depends on actually triggering that extra Break.

Retain the overview Lost Radiance/CRIT DMG recommendation. The article gives Crimson Twin Butterflies as an alternative and favors Lost Radiance for sub-DPS/off-field roles. DoT advice emphasizes CRIT DMG/Cycle; break-team advice emphasizes Break Intensity. Preserve these role conditions; combined substats remain excluded.

Cartridge mains are CRIT DMG or Incantation DMG; the body also allows CRIT Rate when insufficient. No unique main is counted. Explicit sub priority ties CRIT Rate/CRIT DMG, then ATK%, then unresolved 'damage%'; exclude the unresolved label. Cycle Intensity is not in the source.

Lost Radiance with invested Lacrimosa is Scorch Sub-DPS advice prioritizing Cycle Intensity/CRIT DMG. DoT has fixed 50% CRIT Rate; signature ownership changes Incantation/crit balance.

Lost Radiance is explicitly a dual-DPS alternative with Lacrimosa; Crimson is the displayed Core Set. Do not manufacture an additional independent sample from alternative. Main options: 1. CRIT DMG; 2. Cycle Intensity; 3. Incantation DMG; 4. CRIT Rate; 5. ATK% The last Break Intensity sub applies only to A5 Break builds. Automatic Break is once per eligible target per battle on first hit, excluding Character Balance Mode bosses. Lost Radiance is the dual-DPS alternative with Lacrimosa.

Main-stat alternatives and unranked Drive options are excluded from single-choice and priority ratios. Main alternatives: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG. Unranked Drive options: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG / Break Intensity / ATK / ATK% / Universal DMG%. The signature’s extra CRIT DMG requires seven damage stacks. The Break team needs Adler’s specified Break Arc and Daffodill Insight. Type III/II bonuses are separate from substat ranks.

Generic Substat Priority follows console setups but does not explicitly distinguish cartridge from modules; do not copy it to either metric solely from placement. Original source priority (not equipment-specific): Generic Substat Priority: CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG > ATK% > Universal DMG Bonus > ATK Crimson Twin Butterflies/Incantation DMG is the default; Lost Radiance is the Sub-DPS alternative. Do not merge the two role-dependent sets into universally equal advice.
