The hype for Neverness to Everness (NTE) continues to build following the official Version 1.1 "DreamWalk Corridor" special preview livestream. This upcoming patch introduces two heavy-hitting S-class characters that are set to shake up the meta. Whether you are looking for a unique Chaos DoT specialist or a high-mobility Lakshana power carry, the next version is looking stacked. Let's dive into the confirmed banner phases, character kits, and pull values for Version 1.1.
Version 1.1 Banner Schedule Overview
The livestream officially confirmed that Version 1.1 will run two limited character boards back-to-back alongside matching ARC research programs. Here is the confirmed schedule for the Neverness to Everness Version 1.1 banner cycle:
| Banner Phase | Limited Board | S-Class Character | Element | ARC Research Program | Release Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | Fading Revery | Lacrimosa | Chaos | Nocturn special | June 3 – June 24 (21 Days) |
| Phase 2 | Forsaken Path | Chaos (Character) | Lakshana | Pursuit special | June 24 – July 8 (14 Days) |
Which New Characters Are Debuting in Version 1.1?
Phase 1: Lacrimosa
This lovable, perpetually half-asleep ETD4 ace is the star of the first half. As a Chaos element attacker, she excels at shredding enemies using a unique Damage over Time (DoT) playstyle combined with construct summons. Her kit centers on the Nightmare mechanic, which deals one tick of Chaos damage per second over 3 seconds and stacks up to 10 times to drain enemy health rapidly.
What makes this carry truly stand out is her ability to conjure objects out of thin air and create exact duplicates of enemies that fight using their original moves (note: some replication effects unlock after completing her specific spin-off quests). When she unleashes her ultimate, "Working Day Judgment," her Esper constructs sweep a wide area, applying Nightmare to all affected enemies and instantly maxing out their stacks to 10.
Phase 2: Chaos
The second half of the update features Chaos, a heavy-hitter from ETD6. Despite his name potentially causing some confusion, he actually wields the Lakshana element and plays as an aggressive, high-impact Main DPS. He can summon a thick fog and mold it into a hound that fights at his side.
Out in the open world, Chaos offers incredible utility by leaving his hound behind as a custom teleport anchor, allowing him to warp back to it at any time. In combat, he builds up "crime charges" and marks targets with a "warrant" effect. Spending his crime charges unleashes a heavy follow-up attack, and while warrant is active, all of his damage to that target is amplified. His ultimate, "Retribution," applies warrant on hit and massively ramps up his subsequent follow-up damage.
What New Weapons Are Releasing in Version 1.1?
The Last Rose (Lacrimosa's Signature Weapon)
Releasing alongside the first phase in the "Nocturn special" ARC research program, this signature weapon is tailor-made for DoT-centric builds. At level 80, it provides a base ATK of 570 and a 24% CRIT Rate sub-stat, making it very easy to build around.
- Bohemian Rose Effect: It grants a flat 14% ATK increase.
- The Power Spike: Whenever the wearer deals DoT, they gain "Chaos Thorn" stacks, providing up to 60% CRIT DMG.
- Utility: Since this weapon also extends the Broken state of enemies by 3 seconds, it offers incredible crowd control and damage windows for any Chaos carry.
Phase 2 Signature Weapon
Featured in the "Pursuit special" ARC research program, this limited-time weapon runs on a 14-day schedule alongside Chaos's banner. It is specifically designed to complement his crime charge spending and Lakshana damage amplification mechanics.
Are the Version 1.1 Characters Worth Pulling?
Yes, both characters offer immense value! Lacrimosa's unique ability to copy enemy kits provides great combat utility, and her ramping Chaos DoT makes her a very safe long-term investment. Chaos is an absolute must-pull if you need a top-tier Lakshana DPS; his heavy self-amplified damage bursts and his open-world teleport anchor mechanic completely transform exploration efficiency.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Wait, is "Chaos" an element or a character in NTE 1.1?
In Version 1.1, it is both! Chaos is the name of the new S-class character arriving in Phase 2, but he actually uses the Lakshana element. The character Lacrimosa in Phase 1 is the one who actually uses the Chaos element.
When does the Lacrimosa banner end?
Lacrimosa's limited board, "Fading Revery," is officially scheduled to end on June 24, making way for Chaos's banner immediately after the maintenance window. Be sure to manage your pulls accordingly!
Will there be any rerun banners in this patch?
The livestream focused entirely on the debut of the two new limited S-class characters (Lacrimosa and Chaos) and their corresponding outfits/ARC programs. No rerun banners were announced for this patch.
