What is the Awakening system in NTE? How to unlock it?

This Awakening page is more useful when it explains **whether Awakening should be treated as an immediate power spike or a mid-to-late progression investment** rather than assuming every account should awaken its DPS first. For current players, the bigger question is whether that character is already a long-term mainstay, whether Awakening would crowd out other upgrades, and whether the result actually solves a real bottleneck.

A safer way to judge Awakening priority is:

1. If a character is already central to your long-term team and Awakening clearly improves damage, rotation, or survivability, the priority naturally rises

2. If your account is still rotating through temporary teams, pushing expensive Awakening too early may return less value than stabilizing the full lineup first

3. Awakening priority is not only about 'who is the DPS' but about who gains a meaningful upgrade against your current progression wall

So this page now focuses on what Awakening does and how to judge its investment timing instead of preserving 'awaken the DPS first' as a universal answer.
