Neverness to Everness wrapped its global launch on April 29, 2026, and attention has now shifted to the 1.1 update, where two Chaos-element characters, Lacrimosa and Chaos, are positioned as the next playable additions to the roster.
Lacrimosa: Confirmed S-rank Chaos damage
Lacrimosa is the more fleshed-out of the two. She is an S-Class unit with the Chaos Esper type, slotted into the Damage role, and her Arc compatibility is Gas. Her weapon set is described as Esper Constructs rather than a conventional armament, and her affiliation is the Bureau of Anomaly Control's ETD-4 division.
Her kit leans into transformation. One signature ability turns her into a trash-can dog construct that spits flaming garbage at enemies, which fits the broader pattern of Chaos units pulling absurd, reality-bending effects into combat. In-world, she is flagged as an "enigmatic" from ETD, and her character introduction plays up a fixation on tomatoes that borders on the surreal.
| Field | Lacrimosa |
|---|---|
| Rarity | S |
| Element | Chaos |
| Role | Damage |
| Arc compatibility | Gas |
| Weapon | Esper Constructs |
| Affiliation | Bureau of Anomaly Control (ETD-4) |
| Birthday | June 26 |
| EN voice | Baraka May |
| JP voice | Maria Naganawa |
Visually, she is built around a high-contrast "street goth" silhouette: half-black, half-white hair split down the center with a pink streak, a heart-shaped pin, an oversized red jacket with tactical buckles over a ruffled blouse, a corset bodice, layered pleated skirt, opaque stockings, and a studded choker. The design is symmetrical by intent, leaning into the dual-tone motif rather than treating it as an accent.
Chaos: Listed as upcoming, details not finalized
Chaos appears on the upcoming roster alongside names like Alphard, Black Bird, Akane, Illica, Jenson, Shinku, Iroi, Nitsa, Elyms, Lingko, and Exe. Every combat-relevant attribute for the character is currently marked TBA, including rarity, element, role, and Arc compatibility. No weapon, affiliation, or kit information has been officially shared.
Treat any specific kit details for Chaos circulating outside official channels as unconfirmed until the developer publishes character pages or trailer material. The name overlaps with the Chaos element itself, which can create confusion in community discussion, but the two are distinct: the element is a damage type shared by Daffodil and Lacrimosa, while Chaos is a separate planned unit.
Where they fit in the 1.0 roster
The launch lineup centers on 15 to 16 playable characters across S and A ranks, with Esper Zero (male and female) as the protagonist. Nanally headlines the first limited Scarborough Fair board, "The Ichi-daime", running from launch on April 29, 2026, through May 13, 2026 at 5:59:59 (UTC+8). Hotori is slated to follow on the "Misty Tipsy Style" board from May 13, 2026, at 10:00 to June 3, 2026, at 5:59:00 (UTC+8).
Lacrimosa and Chaos sit beyond that initial window. They are tagged as 1.1 additions rather than launch-day units, which lines up with the gap between Hotori's banner ending and the next version's content drop. No official banner date for either character has been confirmed.
| Character | Status | Rarity | Element | Role |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lacrimosa | Confirmed for 1.1 | S | Chaos | Damage |
| Chaos | Upcoming | TBA | TBA | TBA |
| Hotori | Featured (launch window) | S | Cosmos | Survival |
| Nanally | Featured (launch banner) | S | Anima | Damage |
How you would pull them
Recruitment runs through Scarborough Fair, the game's board-style gacha. You roll dice, move across spaces, and trigger rewards from the tiles you land on. Pity is structured around a 90-pull hard guarantee for the limited featured character, with soft pity beginning at 70 pulls and an A-class or item guarantee every 10 pulls. There is no 50/50 on the limited rate-up, and pity carries over between banners.
Special tiles change the math. Ticket spaces hand out specific named characters directly, the rainbow road tile routes you to a fairy that guarantees the limited unit, and Purple or Legendary chest tiles can drop S-class characters outside the standard pity track.
What is verifiable right now
For Lacrimosa, the rarity, element, role, Arc compatibility, weapon category, affiliation, and voice cast are all on record, along with a specific transformation ability. For Chaos, only the name and an "upcoming" designation are confirmed; everything else is open.
Expect both to receive proper character pages, kit breakdowns, and banner schedules closer to the 1.1 patch. Until the developer publishes that material, the safest read is the one above: Lacrimosa is a known quantity with a defined Chaos damage profile, and Chaos is a placeholder name on the roadmap with no mechanical details yet.
