Sakiri Overview
Sakiri is an S-Rank Incantation Support character in Neverness to Everness, widely regarded as the strongest support unit available at launch. Her kit provides two critical utilities that no other character replicates: enemy grouping (pulling scattered enemies into a cluster) and Hex application (a debuff that increases both Anima and Incantation damage by 20% against affected targets).
These two mechanics alone make Sakiri the most sought-after teammate for Nanally, Chiz, and virtually any DPS character that benefits from concentrated enemy positioning. Her low field-time requirements mean she contributes maximum value with minimal rotation investment, making her the ideal “swap in, press buttons, swap out” support.
Best Arcs for Sakiri
Cosmos Daze, Wild Reverie (Best in Slot)
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Main Stat | ATK 25% |
| Passive | DMG +18% for 10s after casting Support Skill (20s CD) |
While primarily a support, Sakiri still deals meaningful Incantation damage. Cosmos Daze provides ATK scaling and a DMG bonus that activates on her most-used ability (Support Skill), ensuring her personal damage contribution remains relevant between support rotations.
Song of the Whale (Alternative)
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Main Stat | ATK% |
| Passive | Simple ATK buff, team energy generation |
A straightforward option that provides ATK scaling and supplementary energy generation for the team. Less specialized than Cosmos Daze but broadly effective.
Day Off (F2P Option)
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Main Stat | Charge Efficiency 33% |
| Passive | ATK +30%, energy restoration on kills |
Accelerates Sakiri’s Ultimate cycling, which is valuable since her Ultimate provides additional grouping and Hex application. The Charge Efficiency ensures she can contribute her Ultimate every rotation.
Console Setup
Speedy Hedgehog (Recommended for Support)
- 2-piece (Epic): Charge Efficiency +10%
- 4-piece (Legendary): Team ATK buff on Ultimate cast
Speedy Hedgehog maximizes Sakiri’s support identity. Faster Ultimate generation means more frequent grouping and Hex application, while the team ATK buff amplifies the entire team’s damage during burst windows.
Lost Radiance (Sub-DPS Build)
- 2-piece (Epic): Cosmos DMG +10%
- 4-piece (Legendary): Ignores 25% DEF for 20s after Ultimate
For players who want Sakiri to contribute more personal damage, Lost Radiance provides DEF penetration during her burst window. Less optimal for pure support but viable in teams where Sakiri has extended field time.
Module Stat Priority
| Slot | Main Stat | Substats |
|---|---|---|
| Type I | ATK% | Charge Efficiency > CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG |
| Type II | Charge Efficiency | ATK% > CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG |
| Type III | Incantation DMG% | ATK% > Charge Efficiency > CRIT Rate |
Support Priority: Charge Efficiency is more valuable than CRIT stats for Sakiri since her primary contribution is Hex uptime and grouping frequency rather than personal damage.
Team Compositions
Nanally Hypercarry: Nanally + Zero + Sakiri + Haniel
Sakiri’s grouping pulls enemies into Nanally’s follow-up attack range, while Hex increases Anima damage by 20%. Zero provides Esper Cycle triggers, and Haniel buffs ATK. This is the highest-damage Nanally composition available.
Chiz Triple Cycle: Chiz + Hathor + Jiuyuan + Sakiri
Sakiri enables Triple Cycle reactions between Chiz, Hathor, and Jiuyuan while providing grouping for Chiz’s AoE Grain attacks. Hex amplifies both Chiz’s Cosmos damage (through Incantation resonance) and Jiuyuan’s Anima damage.
Universal Support: Any DPS + Sakiri + Flex + Flex
Sakiri fits into virtually any team composition. Her grouping and Hex are universally beneficial regardless of the main DPS character. Slot her into any team that needs crowd control or damage amplification.
Awakening Priority
| Order | Awakening | Effect | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | Hex Enhancement | Hex damage bonus increased to 25% | Core support scaling |
| 2nd | Grouping Range | Increased pull radius on Skill | Better crowd control coverage |
| 3rd | Hex Duration | Extended Hex debuff duration | More uptime for team damage |
| 4th | Energy Generation | Team energy on Hex application | Faster team Ultimate cycling |
| 5th | Personal DMG | Increased Incantation DMG during Hex | Minor personal damage boost |
| 6th | Grouping Frequency | Reduced Skill cooldown | Quality-of-life improvement |
Rotation Guide
Standard Support Rotation
- Hold Skill → Group enemies into cluster
- Ultimate (if available) → Additional grouping + Hex application
- Esper Cycle (if meter full) → Swap to DPS with Hex active
- Switch to main DPS → Enemies grouped and debuffed
- Wait for Skill CD → Swap back when regrouping needed
Hex Optimization Rotation (Advanced)
- Sakiri Hold Skill → Group enemies
- Esper Cycle Swap to Nanally → Apply Hex on swap
- Quick Swap back to Sakiri → Ultimate for extended Hex
- Switch to Zero → Redirect Skill + Esper Cycle
- Cycle Swap to Nanally → Full burst with Hex + grouping active
Minimal Investment Rotation
For players using Sakiri purely as support with minimal investment:
- Swap in → Hold Skill (group)
- Swap out immediately → Let DPS capitalize
- Repeat every 15-20 seconds when enemies scatter
Tips for Maximum Effectiveness
- Hex increases BOTH Anima and Incantation damage by 20% — it benefits most DPS characters
- Grouping pulls enemies into a tight cluster — coordinate with AoE abilities for maximum value
- Sakiri requires minimal field time — swap in, press Skill, swap out
- Her Esper Cycle meter fills passively from teammate reactions — use it for Hex application on swap
- In boss fights where grouping is irrelevant, Sakiri still provides 20% damage amplification via Hex
- Ultimate provides a second grouping instance — save it for when enemies scatter after the first pull
- Hex duration is long enough to cover most DPS burst windows without reapplication
