Should you pull?

NO NEED TO THINK ABOUT IT — Neve is SR-rarity and isn't on a dedicated pull banner, so there's no gem decision to make; you'll pick her up from chests/events. She's a fine filler Attacker for new accounts before you have enough SSRs.

Review & Analysis

Neve is a Water Shotgun (SG) Attacker from Tetra with Burst III, built more around a huge self-buff than direct Burst damage. Hibernation is her core damage engine: the moment she enters Full Burst, she gains Pierce and a massive ATK boost for 2 rounds, letting her normal attacks punch through and hit far harder. Her Burst, Roar, deals no direct damage but instead grants herself long-lasting Critical Rate and Hit Rate boosts, keeping her damage output consistent. Bear Power is a finishing shot aimed at the lowest-HP enemy, good for cleaning up weakened targets.

Skill Investment Priority

Prioritize Hibernation (Pierce and huge ATK on entering Full Burst, the core damage engine) → Burst Roar (long-lasting Critical Rate/Hit Rate) → Bear Power (finisher on the lowest-HP target).

Skill investment roadmap (Skill 1/Skill 2/Burst): 1/1/1 (usable as-is) → 4/4/17/7/110/10/1. Why: Neve has no standalone active Burst (she uses the squad's shared burst), so her value comes from Skill 1 (add clear) and Skill 2 (self ATK buff) — level them evenly, and don't over-invest since she's mainly a filler role.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

  • SR-rarity Attacker, cheap to build — good for a fresh roster.
  • Skill 2 self-buffs ATK by 124.8% the instant Full Burst starts, giving a strong damage window without outside buffers.
  • Skill 1 always targets the lowest-HP enemy, clearing adds quickly.

Weaknesses

  • SR stat cap sits well below same-role SSRs, so she gets outclassed late-game.
  • The Skill 2 buff only lasts 2 rounds inside Full Burst; damage drops to average outside that window.
  • Skill 1 is useless against lone bosses since there's no low-HP add to target.
