Sakiri
Off-field Volt sub-DPS dealing huge burst damage from a marker explosion.
Sakiri Overview in Neverness to Everness
Sakiri tags enemies with a Volt marker, then leaves the field. After ~8 seconds, the marker detonates for high off-field damage that scales with her ATK. She is the premier off-field sub-DPS at launch, especially in Volt-reaction comps with Adler.
How to get: Limited 1.0 Banner — Static Genesis. Will appear in future rerun cycles. Not in the Standard pool.
Pros
- Best-in-slot off-field damage at launch
- Very low field time required — only ~3 seconds per rotation
- Pairs naturally with most Volt or reaction-driven Main DPS
Cons
- Personal damage is weak if forced on field for extended time
- Marker can be wasted on dying mobs — needs awareness
- Strongly wants Volt teammates to maximize reactions

Best Arcs for Sakiri
Good Boy's Grand Adventure
Best OverallSakiri's top Arc. Boosts her Attack and Charge Efficiency, letting her use her Ultimate more often. Since her Ultimate can crowd-control enemies, she consistently triggers the full team buff, granting up to 16% ATK to allies — higher than what most characters can achieve.
Tears Beneath the Mask
Safe OptionA strong alternative with higher base Attack but lower Attack %. Its Arc Effect reduces enemy damage, making it useful in tougher fights. Unlike other Arcs, this works even on bosses that can't be controlled, making it a reliable and safer pick.
Cosmos Daze, Wild Reverie
Best A-RankThe best non-S-rank choice. Offers balanced Attack stats and increases Sakiri's personal damage when using support skills. While the boost is solid, it doesn't stay active all the time, so its effectiveness depends on timing.
Best Cartridges and Modules for Sakiri
Speedy Hedgehog is the ideal Cartridge choice when running Sakiri as a support. It increases Charge Efficiency, allowing her to use her Ultimate more often to suppress enemies and provide a team-wide Attack buff. Note that this effect does not stack across multiple characters. The full 4-piece set is easy to build because it only requires Type III Modules, so you can keep strong console bonuses without compromise. With the full setup, Sakiri can reach up to 54% Volt DMG, making her both supportive and impactful in combat.
Console: Volt Conduit Console — ATK% main stat
Modules:
- Stormcaller ×4 (Volt set)
- ATK% inner
- Volt DMG outer
Console: Any Console with ATK% main + ER substats
Modules:
- Stormcaller ×2 + Striker ×2
- Stack ATK% over CRIT for off-field scaling
How to Play Sakiri in NTE?
Sakiri is a utility-focused unit who controls enemies and sets up strong damage windows for the team. Her playstyle revolves around clearing weaker enemies, applying buffs and debuffs, then enabling teammates to deal heavy damage.
Her "Eating Mode", activated by holding her Basic Attack, is especially effective in fights with multiple enemies. While riding Kiroumaru she can pull in and eliminate weaker targets quickly, making it easier to manage the battlefield and reduce incoming pressure.
Her Ultimate is a key part of her kit: it restrains enemies and prevents them from acting while granting a strong ATK buff to the rest of the team. This makes it ideal to use right before swapping to a main damage dealer so they can fully benefit from the buff during their burst window.
Sakiri also contributes by lowering enemy defenses. Her Support Skill reduces DEF on enemies affected by Levitate or Suppress, and since her Ultimate applies Suppress, she naturally sets up both an ATK buff for allies and a DEF debuff on enemies at the same time.
Finally, she enhances damage over time through the Scorch effect, triggered when she switches out after building Esper Cycle. This makes her especially valuable when paired with characters that rely on DoT.
Her basic rotation is to control and clear enemies, apply buffs and debuffs with her Ultimate and skills, then rotate out to let a DPS fully capitalize on the setup.
Rotation Cheat Sheet
- Cast Skill to apply marker.
- Swap to Main DPS for full rotation.
- When Ultimate is ready, swap back, ult, swap out again.
- Detonations occur off-field — no manual trigger needed.
