The global launch of Neverness to Everness (NTE) officially began on April 29, 2026. Players can finally enter Hethereau, a city filled with supernatural phenomena, to start a new adventure. Among the first batch of S-Rank characters, Hathor is one of the most striking on-field burst DPS characters. As Hethereau’s top courier, she wears unique wing equipment and rides a thorny motorcycle, turning “on-time delivery” into a unique art of combat.

Hathor’s attribute is Lakshana, her Eidos compatibility is Plasma, and her role is a core on-field Main DPS. Her gameplay revolves around a rhythm of “stacking layers, activating Ultimate, and dumping all damage during the burst window.” While she requires some practice to master, she offers a high skill ceiling and satisfying gameplay. This guide provides a complete analysis of Hathor’s skill mechanics, best Eidos, Cartridges, Awakening priorities, and team compositions.

Hathor: Basic Character Info

Before building Hathor, understanding her basic attributes and role will help you plan resource allocation more effectively.

Core Mechanics: “Express Delivery Power” & “Emergency Delivery”

Hathor’s entire output logic revolves around a core resource: Express Delivery Power. Understanding this mechanic is the first step to playing Hathor well.

Express Delivery Power can be obtained in several ways:

• Shift Skill: Aerial Command—Gain 2 stacks per cast; during charged casting, if the target attacks Hathor or an ally, gain an additional 3 stacks (“Full Star Tracking” effect).
• Perfect Counter (Zero Error Action)—Counter-attack after a perfect dodge; gain 1 stack every 5 seconds.
• Passive: Efficiency Boost—Gain 1 stack per target defeated.
• Character Trait—Triggers “Top Review Lock” after being near enemies for 5 seconds; gain up to 6 stacks when enemies attack.

For every stack of Express Delivery Power gained, Hathor also gains 5 Polar Energy, allowing her to enter her burst window faster. Once enough stacks are accumulated, casting her Polar Finish: Rider Express enters the “Emergency Delivery” state (lasts 5 seconds), during which:

• “Aerial Command” upgrades to “Cyclone Strike,” consuming stacks for a burst combo.
• Movement speed increases by 30%.
• Gains an ATK bonus based on stored stacks (+15% per stack).
• No new Express Delivery Power can be gained during this state.

In short: Stack layers early → Use Ultimate to enter Emergency Delivery → Use Cyclone Strike to dump stacks for massive damage. Once this cycle is mastered, Hathor’s burst output is impressive, especially in multi-target environments where her AoE clearing is outstanding.

Skill Breakdown & Upgrade Priority

Hathor’s skills are designed around Express Delivery Power. Each skill plays a different role in the rotation:

Upgrade Priority: Shift Skill > Polar Finish > Normal Attack > Support Skill

Note: Hathor’s Normal Attack has branches like “Finale Delivery” (plunging attack) and “High-Altitude Settlement” (dive attack), which can supplement damage, but the Shift Skill remains the core of her rotation.

Best Eidos Recommendations

Eidos selection directly impacts Hathor’s burst damage ceiling. Here are the top recommendations:

1. Flame Soul Surge (Best in Slot)

Stats: ATK +666 | CRIT DMG +24%
Effect “Headless Pilot”: Lakshana Ability DMG +25%. After casting Polar Finish, Shift Skill and Polar Finish DMG +20% for 10s; during this, each Shift Skill cast increases Shift Skill DMG by an additional 9% (max 2 stacks).

This Eidos is tailor-made for Hathor, perfectly enhancing her burst window and making her Cyclone Strikes increasingly powerful.

2. Unyielding Cotton

Stats: ATK +512 | ATK% +27.5%
Effect “Boxing Candy”: DMG dealt +38%; increases to 52% against enemies with HP below 50%.

A very stable choice. Hathor uses her Ultimate every rotation, making the damage bonus easy to maintain without complex operations.

3. Song of the Whale (F2P Alternative)

Stats: ATK +512 | ATK% +27.5%
Effect “Deep Blue Survey”: ATK +20%; DMG +20% against enemies in “Remora” state; restores 30% HP on kill (once every 30s).

Hathor’s high hit count makes triggering effects easy. While the ceiling is lower than the top two, it is a solid transition choice.

Best Cartridge Recommendations

Cartridge sets significantly affect Hathor’s core output stats. The current top recommendation is:

Street Pugilist (4-Piece Set)

2-Piece: Lakshana Ability DMG +10%
4-Piece: CRIT Rate +14%; after the team triggers “Remora” or “Infusion,” CRIT Rate +14% for 20s.

This set fits Hathor perfectly, providing the Lakshana DMG and CRIT Rate she needs. As long as the team can consistently trigger Remora or Infusion, the 4-piece effect remains active.

Stat Priority

Sub-stat Priority: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG > DMG Bonus > ATK% > ATK

Awakening Talent Priority

NTE’s Awakening system allows players to choose effects freely. Here is the recommended priority for Hathor:

Priority: A1 > A4 > A6 > A3 > A5 > A2

A1 is the most critical node for fast startup. A4 and A6 significantly boost the consistency and ceiling of her burst window.

Best Team Compositions

Hathor’s passive “Delayed Warning” extends Remora duration to 12s and grants the team +10% CRIT Rate against Remora-affected targets. Therefore, her best teams focus on triggering Remora.

Team 1: Charge Reaction Team (Recommended)

Hathor + Zero + Nanali + Fadia

This team uses “Charge” as the core cycle. Hathor (Lakshana) and Zero (Cosmos) trigger “Remora.” Nanali (Anima) adds “Blossom” reactions, which trigger “Charge” on Remora targets, feeding energy back to the team. Fadia provides support and survivability.

Team 2: Remora/Charge Hybrid Team

Hathor + Zero + Yi + Hayagiri

A dual-Lakshana core team. Hathor and Yi both benefit from the Lakshana environment, while Zero acts as the key enabler for Remora. Hayagiri provides crowd control and stability.

Editor’s View: Is Hathor Worth Building?

Hathor is a T0.5 burst Main DPS in the launch version. Her strengths include strong AoE, a high burst ceiling, and a unique courier-themed playstyle. While she is Ultimate-dependent, she is undoubtedly one of the best characters to focus on for early-game progression.
