After the main hero, Zero, Mint is the first character you unlock in Neverness to Everness. She joins you alongside the protagonist as they learn about life in Hethereau and what it takes to become an Esper over time.

Mint is one of the best free characters in NTE. She acts as your combat partner and adds a lot of charm and energy to the team. With her strong Anima damage and the ability to grow her power steadily, she’s an A-Tier Esper that you’ll likely find useful throughout your journey.

Mint Overview

Mint is your initial free character after Zero. As an A-Tier Esper, she focuses on wind-based Anima damage, unleashing the power of wind to maximize her damage potential in battles alongside other characters.

This lively, colorful teammate uses Liquid-type arcs during fights to channel elemental energy into her increasing Anima attacks. She stays with you through the early parts of the story, giving you plenty of time to learn how to use her effectively.

She works well with Zero, the main hero, who she’s paired with initially. Because of her high basic attack power and relentless charging cycle, she’s excellent on elemental teams as a damage dealer.

Mint’s Esper Abilities

Basic Attack: Perfect Containment	A series of up to five hits dealing Anima damage. Includes “Justice from Above,” where Mint jumps and plunges down, with damage increasing based on fall height (up to 200%) and “Minty Whirlwind,” where holding the attack spins her around creating a tornado that drains stamina and damages nearby enemies continuously.

Best Team Combinations for Mint

Pairing Mint with Zero is highly recommended. Their combined Anima and Cosmos damage make a powerful combo for multi-element teams, especially if you add a member with a different element for balance. Teams with Nanally work especially well once Mint is awakened enough to benefit from Blossom synergy. If Nanally isn’t available, Skia can be a good free alternative, providing buffs and support with Lakshana.

Best Awakening Effects for Mint

Since Mint is relatively easy to pull from the gacha, you’ll be able to awaken her often. The recommended order for awakening is:

Lunch Break – boosts critical chance when she’s fighting the last enemy, even bosses.
Re-Examination – increases damage of her main skill, which she’ll use frequently.
First Instinct – activates often as her redirect and awakening effects line up.
Elite Member – helps her get quick kills on low-HP enemies.
Attendance Bonus – makes her more effective on Blossom or Hexed teams.
Task Force Operation – resets her Ultimate cooldown, especially useful if you’re skilled at avoiding damage with dodges and parries.

Because she’s likely to be awakened many times, these enhancements significantly improve her performance and help you maximize her potential in battle.
