How to Heal in NTE – Neverness to Everness

Staying alive in Neverness to Everness (NTE) matters just as much as dealing damage. The open world of Hethereau is full of dangerous enemies, and even a short fall can take a big chunk of your HP. The good news is that NTE gives you several solid ways to heal — both in and out of combat.

This guide covers every healing method in the game, when to use each one, which characters help with healing, and the best food items to keep stocked. Whether you are a new player or just need a refresher, this is everything you need to know about recovering HP in NTE.

NTE is available on Android via Google Play and on PlayStation Store.

All Ways to Heal in NTE: Neverness to Everness

There are five core healing methods in NTE. Each one works best in different situations. Here is a quick overview before we go into detail:

• Fast Travel (Wertheimer Towers / ReroRero Phone Booths) – Revives and partially heals your party.
• Dorm Rest (Your Apartment) – Fully restores your entire party at no cost.
• Food Items – Instant HP recovery during or after combat.
• Healer Characters – Active in-combat healing through character skills.
• Healing Arcs – Passive healing effects attached to weapons.

Method 1 – Fast Travel to Wertheimer Towers and ReroRero Phone Booths

This is the quickest emergency heal you have access to at all times. Wertheimer Towers and ReroRero Phone Booths are the fast travel points scattered across Hethereau. Simply walking near one or fast traveling to one will automatically restore a portion of your HP and revive any knocked-out characters in your party.

This method is great when you are exploring and get caught off-guard by strong enemies. It does not give a full heal, but it gets you back on your feet fast. Think of it as a quick reset, not a complete solution.

There are five Wertheimer Towers in the game and numerous ReroRero Phone Booths spread across every district. If you have not unlocked all of them yet, see the guide on how to unlock all map areas in NTE to fill out your fast travel network. You can also check out how to unlock the Midas Tower teleport point specifically, as it is easy to miss.

Method 2 – Rest at Your Dorm (Apartment in Alburn)

Your apartment — the Eibon Antique Shop in Alburn — acts as your main recovery base. When you return there and use the bed, your entire party’s HP is instantly and fully restored at no cost. This unlocks after you complete Episode 1.

This is the best option after a tough mission or when your food supply is running low. There is no cooldown or cost involved, so use it as often as you need. Just keep in mind that lying on a bed in a property you own does not heal you — it only works at your main apartment.

If you are thinking about buying property in Hethereau, check out the guide on how to buy a house in NTE and keep in mind this healing restriction.

Method 3 – Use Food Items for Instant Healing

Food is your most flexible healing option, especially during active combat. You can carry food items in your bag and use them at any time — including in the middle of a fight. For the fastest access, assign food to your shortcut bar. Then hold the shortcut key (default is “T” on PC) to open a quick-use wheel and heal instantly without opening any menus.

Food items are bought from various shops around Hethereau, including ramen shops, family restaurants, tofu shops, candy shops, and fast food restaurants. Each district has its own set of vendors.

Here are some of the best healing food items available:

• Family Restaurant item – Heals the current character for 30% of Max HP. One of the strongest percentage-based heals in the game.
• Ramen Shop item – Heals for 2,200 HP instantly, then restores 182 HP every 5 seconds for 30 seconds.
• Tofu Shop item – Heals for 10% of Max HP, then restores 377 HP every 5 seconds for 30 seconds.
• Milk Tea Shop item – Heals for 1,600 HP instantly, then restores 416 HP every 5 seconds for 30 seconds.
• Baozi Shop item – A simple 1,450 HP flat heal. Good for a quick top-up.
• Candy item (from vending machines) – Restores 767 HP every 5 seconds for 30 seconds.

Food items are consumables, so they will run out. Buy them in bulk from vendors before heading into tough content like Anomaly Commissions or boss fights. For harder encounters like the Plot Hole Repair Project Anomaly Commission or the Pink Paws Heist, stocking up on food beforehand is always a smart move.

Method 4 – Use Healer Characters in Your Party

Adding a healer to your team gives you active, in-combat HP recovery without relying on consumables. This is especially important during long boss fights and Anomaly Commissions where you cannot simply run to a tower.

There are two main healer characters in NTE right now:

Edgar (A-Rank, Cosmos Element)

Edgar is the most accessible healer in the game and is available through the standard gacha banner. He is a Survival/Healer role character who specialises in HP recovery for the party.

• Wild Current – Hold to deal damage while healing the ally with the lowest HP. The longer you hold, the more healing you get.
• Finnegan’s Wake (Ultimate) – Deploys a healing field on the ground that continuously restores HP for any ally standing in it. The field remains active even when you switch to another character.

The best strategy with Edgar is to swap to him when your party’s HP drops, trigger his healing skills, then switch back to your damage dealer. His healing field pairs well with stationary boss fights. His healing does require you to stay in a specific area though, so he is less effective during very mobile encounters.

For a full breakdown of how to build and play him, see the Edgar build guide for NTE.

Fadia (S-Class, Pure Healer)

Fadia is the only dedicated pure healer in the current version of the game. She uses a cross as her primary weapon and can deploy protective barriers to shield the team. Her prayer ability also restores health to all allies, giving her both healing and defensive support value.

She is significantly stronger in the healer role than Edgar and is worth investing in if you plan to run content that demands sustained healing. See the Fadia build guide for NTE to get the most out of her kit.

Method 5 – Equip Arcs with Healing Effects

Some Arc weapons in NTE have passive effects that restore HP under specific conditions. These are not always reliable as a primary healing source, but they add a layer of passive sustain to your build without needing to dedicate a party slot to a healer.

To use healing Arcs effectively, read the Arc’s effect description carefully so you know exactly what triggers the healing. Some require landing a hit, reaching a certain HP threshold, or using a specific skill type.

For a full breakdown of which Arcs are worth equipping, see the Arc weapon tier list for NTE.

How to Heal in NTE: Quick Comparison Table

• Fast Travel (Towers/Phone Booths) – Revives downed characters, partial HP restore. Available anytime but not a full heal.
• Dorm Rest – Full party heal, free, no cooldown. Must return to your main apartment to use it.
• Food Items – Instant heal mid-combat, flexible. Consumable and limited by stock.
• Healer Characters (Edgar, Fadia) – Continuous in-combat healing. Needs a party slot and good positioning.
• Healing Arcs – Passive sustain without using consumables. Condition-based, not always reliable.

Healing Tips to Survive Longer in NTE

• Do not wait until HP is critical. Use healer skills and food items regularly, especially during long fights. Reacting too late usually means a party wipe.
• Shortcut your food. Assign your best healing food to the shortcut bar so you can use it in one button press during combat without opening menus.
• Fast travel is a free revive. If your characters go down while exploring, do not restart. Just fast travel to the nearest tower to revive and partially recover.
• Rest at the dorm between missions. After every tough Anomaly Commission or boss fight, return to your apartment to reset to full HP before the next challenge.
• Carry food before boss content. Stock up at vendors in each district before taking on harder missions. Running out mid-fight is a common mistake.
• Combine healing methods. A healer character plus food items plus a healing Arc gives you three layers of sustain in one run.

Learning how to dodge and reduce incoming damage in the first place is just as important as healing. Check out the guide on how to parry, dodge, and riposte in NTE and the guide on how to break enemies in NTE to improve your overall survival.

Best Content to Use Your Healing For

Healing matters most during high-difficulty encounters. Here are the types of content where having a solid healing setup will make the biggest difference:

• Anomaly Commissions – Especially boss-type commissions where you cannot fast travel out mid-fight. Check the full Anomaly Zones Guide for NTE to plan ahead.
• High-Risk Anomaly Commissions – These scale up enemy difficulty and put your team under real pressure. Go in with food stocked and a healer ready.
• World Bosses (Anomaly Hunts) – Powerful enemies at fixed locations. Healers are very useful here since these fights can last a while.
• Pink Paws Heist – A complex mission with multiple stages. Read the Pink Paws Heist guide and make sure you are stocked before entering.
