Blackbird arrives in Neverness to Everness Version 1.4 as an S-Rank Psyche DPS built around quick swaps, off-field coordinated attacks, and a powerful transformation state. Instead of staying on-field for an entire rotation, she can mark enemies, let teammates continue the fight, and return for a high-damage Witch of Deliverance burst window.

This Blackbird build guide covers Blackbird best builds, materials, kit, skills, Arc choices, Cartridge / Modules, Awakenings, team comps, gameplay, banner information, and pull advice.

Players comparing Blackbird with Linko should note that Blackbird is heavily centered on switching between her base state and Witch of Deliverance rather than simply remaining on-field.

Blackbird Kit and Skill Priority

The Blackbird kit has two clear phases.

In her normal state, Netherplume Rite applies Forsaken Feather and enables Forsaken Bird coordinated attacks while another character is active. This allows Blackbird to keep contributing even after she leaves the field.

Her Ultimate, Requies Animarum, transforms her into Witch of Deliverance, shifting her into her main burst phase.

Blackbird Best Builds and Stats

Blackbird's build should prioritize critical damage and Psyche damage rather than stacking only ATK.

Build Area

Priority

Main Stats

CRIT DMG > Psyche DMG Bonus > ATK%

Substats

CRIT DMG > CRIT Rate / Universal DMG Bonus > ATK%

Skill Priority

Ultimate > Skill > Basic Attack > Support

CRIT becomes especially important when using her signature Arc, which already provides a strong CRIT foundation.

Best Blackbird Arc

The best Blackbird arc is Crime and Punishment.

At Level 80, it provides 570 ATK and 24% CRIT Rate. Its effect further increases CRIT Rate and grants stacking CRIT DMG when Blackbird deals Incantation DMG, making it highly compatible with her burst-heavy kit.

Recommendation

Ravenous Blade

Strong CRIT-focused alternative

Good Boy's Grand Adventure

Good Boy's Grand Adventure

More team-oriented alternative

Ravenous Blade follows a similar CRIT-focused direction and is the easiest alternative if you do not have her signature.

Good Boy's Grand Adventure sacrifices some personal damage focus for team ATK utility after using an Ultimate.

Blackbird Cartridge / Modules and Console

For the Blackbird console, the recommended set is Devil's Blood: Curse.

Devil's Blood: Curse.

Set

Effect

2-Piece

Psyche DMG +10%

4-Piece

DMG +18%

Against Nova/Stain

DMG bonus increases to 36%

For Blackbird Cartridge / Modules, prioritize:

CRIT DMG → Psyche DMG Bonus → CRIT Rate / Universal DMG Bonus → ATK%

The set becomes particularly effective when Blackbird is used in teams that reliably apply Nova or Stain.

Blackbird Awakenings and Resonance

Blackbird already has her main gameplay loop at A0, so additional copies improve her performance rather than unlock a mandatory mechanic.

For Main DPS:

A1 > A6 > A3 > A5 > A4 > A2

For a more support-focused setup:

A4 > A5 > A1 > A6 > A3 > A2

A1 is therefore the most attractive early stopping point for players who mainly want to strengthen Blackbird's personal DPS.

Blackbird awakenings and resonance also benefit from her Psyche identity, since Psyche can participate in reaction setups such as Nova and Stain, which pair naturally with Devil's Blood: Curse.

Best Blackbird Team

Blackbird team building favors characters who can maintain reactions and deal damage while she rotates off-field.

Team

Playstyle

Zankou + Blackbird + Daffodill + Sakiri

Zankou  Blackbird  Daffodill Sakiri

Quick-swap / dual-DPS

Blackbird + Jiuyuan + Chaos + Hathor

 Blackbird  Jiuyuan  Chaos Hathor

Reaction-focused setup

Blackbird + Chaos + Sakiri + Iroi

 Blackbird  Chaos SakiriIroi

Nova-oriented composition

The Zankou team makes particularly good use of Blackbird's quick-swap nature, while Chaos-based teams help create reaction states that complement her Module set.

Blackbird Gameplay

A simple Blackbird gameplay rotation is:

Netherplume Rite → apply Forsaken Feather → swap to teammates → trigger coordinated attacks → return to Blackbird → Requies Animarum → Witch of Deliverance burst.

The important point is not to treat Blackbird as a permanent on-field carry. Her strength comes from combining background pressure with a concentrated transformation window.

Blackbird Banner and Pull Advice

The Blackbird banner arrives in Version 1.4 Phase 1, beginning September 30, 2026. Her signature Gas Arc, Crime and Punishment, is featured alongside her release period.

For pull advice, Blackbird is most attractive if you want a Psyche DPS, enjoy quick-swap gameplay, or need a character capable of dealing both on-field burst damage and off-field damage.

For limited resources, prioritize:

Blackbird A0 → Crime and Punishment → Extra Awakenings

Overall, Blackbird offers much more flexibility than a conventional selfish DPS. Build around CRIT and Psyche DMG, use Devil's Blood: Curse, prepare her key materials in advance, and pair her with teammates who can keep dealing damage while she rotates off-field.
