NTE Shinku Kit

Normal Attack: Special Combat Techniques - Variation

During the 3rd/4th/5th hits of "Normal Attack: Special Combat Technique", holding down the normal attack button triggers "Normal Attack: Special Combat Technique - Variation", dealing light-attribute elemental damage to the target . Hitting a target grants "Unruly Fighting Spirit" .


Ultimate Counterattack: Instant Victory

After triggering the Perfect Dodge, use "Normal Attack: Special Combat Technique" to trigger it. Shinku retaliates with a fierce kick, dealing 1 instance of light attribute damage , deducting a certain amount of infatuation value, and gaining "Unruly Fighting Spirit" .


2. Normal Attack: Terrifying Strike

With her powers fully unleashed, Shinku unleashes a terrifying aura, delivering up to five consecutive attacks that deal light-attribute damage . Hitting a target grants the "Edge of Sobriety" status .


Normal Attack: Hammer Slam

While Shinku is airborne, tapping the normal attack will deal one instance of Light-attribute damage upon landing . The damage increases with the height of the fall, up to a maximum of 100%. Hitting a target grants the "Edge of Clarity" buff .


Normal Attack: Shocking Strike - Contempt

While in the "Intimidating Gaze" state, releasing "Trajectory Counterattack" or "Perfect Counterattack" will forcibly knock back the target and briefly paralyze them, and deal an additional 20% of "Instant Strike" damage to the target.


3. Ultimate: Boiling Crimson Blood

Don't think you can get away scot-free after doing something like this...

Shinku consumes all "Unruly Fighting Spirit" to enter the "Rising Crimson" state, then launches a multi-stage attack, dealing high Light-attribute Aberrant DMG to the target.

"Rising Crimson": Replaces "Basic Attack: Special Combat Technique" with "Basic Attack: Terrifying Raid", and replaces " Switch Skill: High-Speed Breakthrough" with "Switch Skill: Crimson Peak Descent".

Damage dealt and interruption resistance are increased, and mobility is significantly enhanced. Lasts for 13 seconds. Exits "Rising Crimson" upon switching characters。


Ultimate: Crimson Execution

When "Rising Crimson" is about to end, Shinku can unleash "Ultimate: Crimson Execution". Continuously tap the "Ultimate" button to rapidly dash and shuttle between targets, dealing high Light-attribute Aberrant DMG.

During the duration of "Rising Crimson", for every 1 time Shinku unleashes "Switch Skill: Crimson Peak Descent", she can unleash an additional stage of "Ultimate: Crimson Execution".


Ultimate: Dragonflame of Execution

When all charges of "Ultimate: Crimson Execution" have been used or the duration of "Rising Crimson" ends, tap "Ultimate" again to unleash "Ultimate: Dragonflame of Execution", dealing high Light-attribute Aberrant DMG to targets within a large area.

NTE Shinku Team Comps


Top Recommendation

Best Overall Team

player_zhenhong_256.webp

Shinku

player_009_256.webp

Esper Zero

player_012_256.webp

Hathor

player_yiluoyi_256.webp

Iroi

This team comp is best choice for players so far. The team's damage relies primarily on Reaction damage, meaning players with mechanically sound execution will achieve significantly higher damage output.

Second Recommendation

Passionate Combo Team

Shinku

Chiz

player_012_256.webp

Hathor

player_010_256.webp

Nanally

Central to this team strategy is consistent Cosmos activation from Shinku alongside sustained party rotation via the Esper Cycle.

A sufficiently high trigger frequency grants Nanally extra follow-up attack instances, resulting in a far more cohesive damage loop for the entire team.


Third Recommendation

Hexed Cycle Reaction Team

player_zhenhong_256.webp

Shinku

player_008_256.webp

Skia

player_009_256.webp

Esper Zero

player_019_256.webp

Mint

This team comp does not demand high mechanical skill, as you can master it simply by swapping characters to apply buffs. Since many of the characters in the lineup are free, it is also highly suitable for beginners


Conclusion

As a powerful core DPS option in Neverness to Everness, Shinku is well worth pulling both for competitive meta viability and personal collection. Her skill effects are clean and crisp, and her movesets are grand and sweeping, offering a great sense of aesthetics. If you want to get this character as well, you can check out TOPUPlive
