Neverness to Everness Guide: Best Sakiri Build – Arcs, Cartridges, & Teams

Quick Answer: Sakiri is the premier S-rank Incantation buffer who controls the battlefield while handing out massive ATK buffs. Her absolute best build uses the “Good Boy’s Grand Adventure” Arc and the “Speedy Hedgehog” Cartridge to maximize her Ultimate uptime and supercharge your team’s overall damage.

Why Sakiri is S-Tier

Sakiri easily claims her spot as an S-rank Incantation character in Neverness to Everness because she provides some of the most reliable crowd control in the entire game. She isn’t there to deal massive damage herself. Her job is to pull enemies into a tight group, pin them to the floor, buff her teammates, and then get out of the way so your main attacker can shine.

When she casts her Ultimate (Feast of Gluttony), she applies “Suppress” to lock enemies down. Even better, that same Ultimate hands every teammate a flat ATK bonus based directly on her own Base ATK stat. You can slot her into almost any team composition, set up a perfectly clean burst window, and watch your DPS melt through health bars.

Best Arcs for Sakiri

You do not need to pull a premium gacha weapon for her. Her signature Arc is Good Boy’s Grand Adventure, and it takes the top spot for a very specific reason.

Because her Ultimate naturally crowd-controls enemies, she automatically triggers this Arc’s conditional secondary buff without any extra effort. While other characters only get a 10% team ATK boost, Sakiri gets the full 16% Team ATK because her Suppress counts as a control effect. It also gives her 18% Charge Efficiency, letting her cast her expensive 120-energy Ultimate much faster.

If you don’t have her signature, run one of these solid alternatives:

• Watch Your Heads!: Great for hybrid damage, granting +10% ATK and bonus Lakshana DMG to Remora/Stain targets.
• Tears Beneath the Mask: A strong defensive option where enemies hit by your Ultimate deal 18% less damage for 20 seconds.
• Cosmos Daze, Wild Reverie: The absolute best A-rank budget option for personal DPS.

Are you struggling to save enough Fons to upgrade all these powerful Arcs? Don’t forget that building an efficient passive income engine is just as important as your combat setup.

Best Cartridges and Modules

Your main goal here is to maximize how often Sakiri can cast her Ultimate. The absolute best Cartridge to run is Speedy Hedgehog.

The 2-piece set grants a vital +12% Charge Efficiency. Once you activate the 4-piece set, casting her Ultimate gives all allies a +15% ATK boost for 20 seconds. This stacks perfectly with the buffs from her Arc and her native kit, turning your main DPS into an absolute monster. Speedy Hedgehog only needs Type III Modules to hit its 4-piece threshold, meaning you don’t have to sacrifice any of Sakiri’s Console bonuses to activate the full set effect.

For your Module sub-stats, prioritize them in this exact order:

1. ATK% (Directly scales her Ultimate’s ATK buff)
2. Cycle Intensity
3. DMG
4. Break Intensity

How to Play Sakiri

Sakiri’s gameplan is incredibly straightforward once you understand her role.

1. Hold her Skill (Devour Whole) to group enemies together into a tight cluster and launch them into the air.
2. Cast her Ultimate (Feast of Gluttony) to pin those grounded enemies with Suppress and trigger all of your massive ATK buffs.
3. Immediately swap to your main DPS character and unleash their full damage rotation while the enemies are defenseless.

Her Support Skill (Squash!) also slaps a 10% DEF reduction on any enemy that is Airborne or Suppressed. That means your DPS is hitting a debuffed, immobile target while holding a massive ATK buff simultaneously.

Awakening Upgrade Priority

If you pull duplicates, her Awakening order completely changes how she plays. You should prioritize these unlocks:

• Wishful Reliance (1st): This is her most impactful support upgrade. It increases Team ATK by 30% of her Base ATK for 20 seconds after her Ultimate.
• Sensory Collapse (2nd): This fully restores her Ultimate Energy and resets the cooldown when her Skill launches enemies. This effectively lets you spam her Ultimate in most encounters.
• Diffusive Haze (3rd): Extends her Suppress duration from 3 seconds to 6 seconds, completely doubling the burst window for your DPS.

Best Team Compositions

Sakiri fits perfectly into two main team archetypes: Hexed teams built around Anima units, and Scorch teams focused on DoT damage.

The Blossom-Hexed Team

This is widely considered Sakiri’s absolute best practical setup.

• Main DPS: Nanally
• Sub-DPS: Esper Zero
• Buffer: Sakiri
• Support: Adler

Nanally acts as the primary damage dealer while Esper Zero handles burst damage against airborne enemies. Adler provides essential shielding while applying Incantation DoT to trigger Hexed reactions alongside Sakiri’s buffs.

The Scorch DoT Team

This team uses Sakiri’s passive ability to amplify DoT damage against targets.

• Buffer: Sakiri
• Chaos DPS: Daffodill
• Psyche Support: Fadia
• Anima DPS: Jiuyuan
