Chiz Overview

Rarity: S-Rank | Element: Cosmos | Role: DPS | Arc: Gas

Chiz is an S-Rank Cosmos Gas character in Neverness to Everness.

She uses Basic Attacks and skills to gain Grain. Her core mechanic is the Redirect Skill (up to 3 charges), allowing consecutive attacks that scale with Grain.

Her Ultimate (Zero-Sum Game) triggers the Grain Market state, where Grain is invested into price fluctuations for settlement, and can also repay Grain Loans (even while in debt).

Support Skills boost her own Charge efficiency but prevent teammates from gaining Charge.

Life Skills increase foot traffic, reduce ingredient consumption, and affect restaurant pricing.

 

Chiz's Skills

Skill Upgrade Priority:

Redirect Skill (core mechanic) ≈ Ultimate > Basic Attack > others.

Core damage output and resource rotation depend on the first two — prioritize maxing them out.

Basic Attack

Exiled Swordplay	Swings the short staff to perform up to 5 consecutive attacks, dealing Cosmos DMG. Grants Grain on hit.
Barren	Press Barren to throw Brown Sugar Boba to devour the target, dealing 2 instance of Cosmos DMG, granting a certain amount of Grain and Fons. Triggers up to once every 2.5s. Hold Barren during any instance of Exiled Swordplay attacks to create a branch attack, dealing 2 instance of Cosmos DMG and granting a certain amount of Grain and Fons. Grants bonus Fons if this skill defeats the target. Up to 250,000 Fons can be earned this way. Increasing the Tycoon Level to 25 raises the cap to 500,000 Fons. Grants 1 Fons per use once the daily cap is reached. After reaching the total limit, no more Fons can be obtained this way.
Bountiful Grain	Press Basic Attack while airborne to plunge, dealing 1 instance of Cosmos DMG to an area upon impact, while granting a certain amount of Grain. Increases DMG based on fall height, up to 200%.

 

Critical Riposte - Minsky Moment

Triggers when pressing Basic Attack after a Critical Dodge. Leaps to evade and swings the staff, sending Brown Sugar Boba crashing into the target, dealing 1 instance of Cosmos DMG, reducing Break, and granting Grain.

 

Skill - Pink Paws Priority Principle

More, more, the more the merrier! Chiz's Redirect Skill charges can be accumulated, up to a maximum of 3 charges.

Press Redirect Skill to consume 1 skill charge and cast Redirect Skill: No Grain, dealing 1 instance of Cosmos DMG to the target. Press Redirect Skill consecutively to consume a corresponding number of skill charges, sequentially casting Redirect Skill: No Grain, Redirect Skill: Half Grain, and Redirect Skill: Full Grain, up to 3 consecutive casts.

When Chiz is in the Surplus state, pressing casts Redirect Skill: Pink Paws Priority Principle. Each Redirect Skill deals additional Cosmos DMG to the target based on Chiz's Grain count.

Hold Redirect Skill to consume 2 skill charges and cast Redirect Skill: No Grain and Redirect Skill: Half Grain. During Redirect Skill: Half Grain, Grain is continuously consumed, dealing additional continuous Cosmos DMG to the target based on the Grain consumed. When Redirect Skill: Half Grain ends, all of Chiz's Grain is consumed (including all Grain Loans under the Debt state). Press Redirect Skill again to consume 1 skill charge to end Redirect Skill: Half Grain early, stopping Grain consumption and casting Redirect Skill: Full Grain. Hold Redirect Skill continuously to consume 3 skill charges, consumes all of Chiz's Grain (including all Grain Loans under the Debt state), and sequentially casts Redirect Skill: No Grain, Redirect Skill: Half Grain, and Redirect Skill: Full Grain.

When Chiz is in the Surplus state, holding casts Redirect Skill: Pink Paws Priority Principle, causing Redirect Skill: No Grain to deal additional Cosmos DMG to the target based on Chiz's Grain count.

 

Ultimate - Zero-Sum Game

It's time to max the leverage! Chiz throws Brown Sugar Boba to attack enemies, dealing AOE Cosmos DMG once, and enters the Grain Market for 7 seconds.

After releasing her Ultimate: Zero-Sum Game, all remaining Grain Loans will be converted into Grain and Chiz will enter the Profit status. Chiz will invest all Grain into the Grain Market, and when her Redirect Skill: Pink Paws Supremacy is used, the Grain Price fluctuations at that time will be used in Grain Settlement to collect corresponding Grain. If Redirect Skill: Pink Paws Supremacy is activated by holding the button, Grain Settlement is calculated once, based on the Grain Price at the moment of activation.

When the Grain Market expires or when the character is switched, Chiz exits the Grain Market, and all current Grain will be prioritized to repay the Grain Loan.

Chiz can enter Grain Market even when she is in Debt status and the Grain Loan is not 0.

 

Support Skill

Temporary Entry	Hope I can m-make it in time… Brown Sugar Boba carries Chiz and crashes into the target, dealing 1 instance of Cosmos DMG.
Hanahaki Disease	Charge Enhancement: Grants active characters 4 additional Charge.
Hoarding	Hoarding Compulsion: Prevents other team members from gaining Charge and increases Chiz's Charge Efficiency by 20% while on the field.

Chiz's Teams

Chiz's team composition mainly revolves around the Surplus Effect. Therefore, the recommended team setup is 2 Cosmos + 1 Lakshana + 1 Anima.

Premium Team

Main DPS	Sub DPS	Sub DPS	Support
Chiz	Hathor	Zero	Jiuyuan

In this team, Chiz serves as the main damage dealer, responsible for dealing Grain-attribute damage. Hathor acts as the sub damage dealer, with the primary functions of quickly accumulating energy and triggering the Supernatural Circuit Sync effect. Zero also possesses the ability to recharge energy quickly while providing a small amount of healing support. Jiuyuan is used to trigger the Creative Blossom Reaction , and is able to restore energy to the active character on the field.

 

Pure DPS Team

Main DPS	Sub DPS	Sub DPS	Support
Chiz	Zero	Nanally	Jiuyuan

If you do not wish to pull for the limited character Hathor, Nanally can be used as a substitute. The team composition would then be adjusted to Chiz, Zero, Nanally, and Jiuyuan. In this setup, Nanally takes on a pure DPS role, replacing Hathor's original functions as a sub-DPS and trigger for the Supernatural Circuit Sync effect. The overall team shifts from the original "sub-DPS + energy recharge + healing + energy restoration" operational model to a pure damage-focused lineup that emphasizes output. Chiz remains the main DPS responsible for Grain damage output. Zero continues to provide fast energy recharge and minor healing. Jiuyuan remains responsible for triggering the Blossom Reaction, while restoring energy to the active character.
