NTE Chaos Build: What Makes Him Strong

Chaos sits at the top of the NTE Tier List as one of the strongest on-field DPS options in the game. He deals raw Lakshana DMG, sets up teleport points across the map, boosts fishing efficiency, and tears through enemies with straightforward but punishing combat. Getting the most out of him does not require complex rotations, but the build needs to be right.

The key difference between building Chaos and other DPS units is the stat priority. Chaos already picks up significant Crit stats from his Arc, Cartridge, and kit passives, which means stacking more Crit Rate on top of that gives diminishing returns. Lakshana DMG and ATK% are the focus instead.

Best Arc for NTE Chaos

What’s Desired Is His Signature and Best Option

What’s Desired is the best Arc for Chaos and his signature weapon in the game. It delivers a massive Lakshana DMG boost alongside a strong Crit DMG buff, covering both of his key damage multipliers at once. Players who have access to it should use it without question.

PriorityArc Name
BestWhat’s Desired
AlternativeCamellia Society
AlternativeFluff of Ferocity
A-Rank OptionA Time Will Come

For players without What’s Desired, Camellia Society is the next best choice. It increases Crit DMG and ATK% significantly, both of which feed directly into Chaos’s damage output. Fluff of Ferocity works but requires extra investment in Crit stats on modules to compensate. A Time Will Come is the best A-rank fallback for free-to-play players.

Best Cartridge and Stats for NTE Chaos

Street Boxer Is the Only Option Worth Using

Chaos has one cartridge that works for his kit and it is Street Boxer. The set effect increases Lakshana DMG and Crit Rate%, particularly for teams that trigger Remora or Stain, which is exactly how Chaos operates. There is no meaningful alternative cartridge, so the build decision here is straightforward.

AlternativeNone
Main StatLakshana DMG

For main stats on modules, Lakshana DMG is the top priority across the board. ATK% fills the remaining slots after Lakshana DMG is covered. Crit DMG% and Crit Rate% come last since Chaos picks up enough from his Arc and Cartridge passives without needing to chase them on modules.

NTE Chaos Module Layout and Sub Stats

Prioritize Type III Lakshana DMG Bonus Modules

The module layout matters because it directly activates Street Boxer’s set effect. Following the correct layout is not optional — running the wrong arrangement means the cartridge bonuses never trigger. Use Type III Lakshana DMG bonus modules as the primary choice, followed by ATK% modules to fill remaining slots.

Bonus ModuleType III — Lakshana DMG
Sub StatsLakshana DMG > ATK% > Crit DMG% > Crit Rate%

Sub stat priority mirrors the main stat priority. Lakshana DMG comes first, followed by ATK%, then Crit DMG%, and finally Crit Rate% only if the other options are not available. Chaos does not need much help from sub stats on the Crit side given how much he already gets from his kit.

Best NTE Chaos Teams

Esper Zero, Hathor, and Haniel Are the Core Composition

Chaos’s team is built around characters who apply Remora or Stain, since his Street Boxer cartridge specifically rewards teams that trigger these effects. The ideal composition keeps those triggers consistent throughout a fight.

The best team runs Chaos with Esper Zero, Hathor, and Haniel for consistent Remora and Stain triggers. Jiuyuan replaces Haniel and Hotori replaces Esper Zero if needed. Skia and Mint are the best free-to-play alternatives.
