Speedy Hedgehog

Set Analysis

Speedy Hedgehog is the definitive support cartridge set in Neverness to Everness. The 2-piece provides 12% Charge Efficiency, accelerating Ultimate Energy generation for faster buff cycling. The 4-piece grants all allies (including the wearer) a 15% ATK buff for 20 seconds after the wearer casts their Ultimate.

The non-stacking clause means only one Speedy Hedgehog user per team provides the buff. Running two support characters with this set is wasteful — the second should use a different set. However, the 20-second duration is long enough to cover most DPS burst windows entirely, and the Charge Efficiency 2-piece ensures the buff can be reapplied every rotation.

For support characters whose primary role is buffing rather than dealing damage, Speedy Hedgehog provides more team value than any DPS-oriented set. The 15% ATK buff applies to the main DPS character’s entire kit, often resulting in more total team damage than if the support character wore a personal damage set.

Best Characters

Sakiri (S-Tier)

Sakiri’s role is Hex application and grouping — she needs minimal field time and benefits enormously from faster Ultimate cycling. The team ATK buff stacks with her Hex debuff (20% Anima/Incantation DMG increase), creating a multiplicative damage amplification layer.

Haniel (S-Tier)

Haniel is already an ATK buffer by nature. Speedy Hedgehog’s team ATK buff stacks additively with her innate buffs, but the Charge Efficiency ensures she can maintain both her personal buffs and the set buff simultaneously.

Zero (B-Tier, Support Build)

When running Zero as a pure Cycle battery rather than a damage dealer, Speedy Hedgehog provides team utility that Lost Radiance cannot. This build sacrifices Zero’s personal damage for team-wide amplification.
