Remora Team
NTE's control archetype. Lakshana + Cosmos applies Remora (a Slow) — and Hathor turns any Remora'd target into a +10% team Crit Rate zone while extending the Slow to 12s. A utility shell that makes whatever carry you bring hit harder.
Overview
Verdict
Honest framing first: Remora is rarely a standalone team in the meta — it's most often run inside a Charge team (Hathor/Skia supplying the Lakshana + Cosmos pair) rather than alone. As a shell it's a force multiplier: Remora itself just Slows, but Hathor turns it into +10% team Crit Rate and a 12s lockdown under whatever carry you bring. Use it to lift a Cosmos/Charge core, not as a carry on its own.
Ratings
The reaction — and why it's a team
Remora fires when the team lands Lakshana and Cosmos on the same target: “The target enters Remora for 5s after triggering Esper Cycle, slowing their movement and attack speed. The effect decays over time, and will have a shorter duration if repeatedly applied.” A control reaction — it Slows the target, and the team turns that Slow into team-wide Crit Rate and lockdown.
Delay Warning: Extends the target's Remora duration to 12s and increases Crit Rate by 10% when allies attacking a target affected by Remora.
The payoff of the whole archetype — turns a 5s Slow into a 12s window of +10% team Crit Rate.
Suppression: Inflicts an additional Remora on a target when Fang Thrust locks onto them in Remora state.
The best free 4★ Lakshana applier — keeps Remora topped up so Hathor's window never lapses.
Plus the gear: Street Boxer (4-piece) +14% Crit Chance, raised when the team triggers Remora or Stain — stacking with Hathor's Remora crit buff. See the Equipment guide for the full set.
Roles & unit options
A Remora team fills these jobs. Pick one unit per role to what you own.
Crit Carry
The DPS that cashes in the +10% team Crit Rate Remora opens up.
Remora Enabler
Brings the Lakshana half and keeps Remora applied.
Crit Payoff
Converts Remora into the team buff.
12s Remora + 10% team Crit Rate on Remora'd targets — the reason to run this shell.

Remora Crit Shell
Buff a carry
Skia keeps Remora applied, Hathor stretches it to 12s and hands the team +10% Crit Rate, and Zero converts the window into Cosmos burst.
Remora into Charge
Ult battery hybrid
Cosmos + Anima (Blossom) and Lakshana + Cosmos (Remora) both live → Vita Pistils hitting Slowed targets refund Ultimate Energy via the Charge trio.
Rotation principle
The frame-perfect loop depends on the carry — open that character's own guide for it. The archetype loop is always the same:
Apply Remora
Land Lakshana (Skia) and Cosmos (carry) to trigger the Esper Cycle — the target is Slowed for 5s.
Extend & buff (Hathor)
Hathor's Delay Warning stretches Remora to 12s and opens the +10% team Crit Rate window.
Carry bursts
Pour the Cosmos carry's burst into the Slowed, crit-buffed target while it can't act freely.
Refresh
Skia re-applies Remora so Hathor's window never lapses; repeat the burst each cycle.
- Remora doesn't carry — it's a utility shell. Bring a carry that actually wants the crit and the lockdown.
- Repeated application shortens Remora's duration (it decays), so let Hathor's 12s window run rather than spamming it.
- Add a Blossom (Cosmos + Anima) line to chain Blossom + Remora into the Charge trio.
