NTE 1.4 Blackbird Guide: Best Arcs, Modules, Skills & Teams
Hethereau's darker, more mysterious corners have long been linked to Blackbird — from the Witch's House to the occult tales told around the city — well before she ever became playable. That changes in NTE Version 1.4: she arrives on the roster as an S-Rank Psyche DPS, and the update itself lands on September 30, 2026 at 10:00 (UTC+8).

Blackbird's design revolves around toggling between her normal state and Witch of Deliverance, letting her apply off-field pressure before unleashing a potent transformation burst. Below, we break down her best build, skills, Arcs, Modules, Awakenings, and team comps for NTE 1.4.
Overview

Rarity: S-Rank | Element: Psyche | Arc: Gas
Blackbird is a Psyche damage dealer with strong quick-swap and team-support potential whose gameplay revolves around swapping between her base form and Witch of Deliverance. Netherplume Rite lets her apply Forsaken Feather while in her normal state, and she also enables Forsaken Bird coordinated attacks — with teammates staying on-field, her damage comes from the background. Requies Animarum flips her into Witch of Deliverance once enough Malice is accumulated, opening a far more aggressive burst window built on Pyreflame, Flames of Deliverance, and Flammae in Unum. Party ATK buffs come from her kit as well, and higher Awakenings layer on team DMG, RES reduction, and CRIT DMG support.
All things considered, quick-swap teams that can fully use both her off-field pressure and transformation burst is where Blackbird performs at her best.

Conclusion
Blackbird shines brightest when your rotation squeezes value out of both her off-field attacks and that Witch of Deliverance burst window. Make her Ultimate the first thing you invest in, focus your build on CRIT and Psyche DMG, and surround her with teammates who can hold the rotation together while she charges up her next transformation.
For those getting ready for Blackbird or other NTE 1.4 characters, better-value deals are also within reach, along with a smoother way to stock up ahead of your next pulls.
