Which S-rank characters are free in NTE?

This free-S-rank page is more useful when it explains **which freely obtainable high-rarity characters actually fill the most important gaps on an account** instead of preserving one acquisition checklist as if every timing and reward state always stays unchanged. For current players, the more practical question is whether each free character solves primary damage, utility support, or survivability, and which of those roles your roster is currently missing.

A safer way to judge free S-rank value is:

1. Do not treat 'free' plus 'S-rank' as automatic equal investment value; what matters is whether the unit fills a real team weakness

2. If you lack a stable carry, prioritize characters who can immediately shoulder progression work; if your core is already stable, prioritize utility and tolerance gains instead

3. Some early reward paths and selectors still depend on current version state, active events, and account progress, so they should not be framed as permanently reproducible in identical form

So this page now focuses on the functional value and selection logic of free S-rank characters instead of preserving one early reward sheet as the long-term answer.
