Version 1.2 of Neverness to Everness is shaping up around two E.T.D. 6th Platoon members, Exe and Elyms, both surfacing through community leaks rather than official drip marketing. Nothing about their kits, elements, rarities, or banner order is locked in, and the patch itself has no confirmed release date from Hotta Studio.
What is currently known about the 1.2 banners
The leak points to a two-phase structure, which matches how Version 1.0 and 1.1 are being handled. Exe is described as the captain of the E.T.D. 6th Platoon, while Elyms is his lieutenant. Both characters tie directly into the Bureau of Anomaly Control storyline, which has been the spine of the game's faction-driven narrative since launch.
Beyond the character names and their in-world roles, the rest is open. Elemental alignment, weapon type, signature Arc, and combat role have not been shown in any official material. Elyms has only been teased through her appearance in the Co-Ex Test broadcast cut-in, where she briefly takes over the channel.

Where 1.2 sits in the current banner cycle
Version 1.0 Phase 2 is running the Misty Tipsy Style banner featuring Hotori, a Cosmos S-class with a time-stop kit, alongside A-class units Haniel, Aurelia, and Skia. That phase runs until June 3, 2026, when Version 1.1 begins.
Version 1.1 is set to debut Lacrimosa, a Chaos-element DPS, in Phase 1, followed by Chaos, a Lakshana-element unit tied to the E.T.D. 6th Platoon storyline, in Phase 2. Version 1.2 sits behind both of those phases, which is why no firm date exists yet. Community estimates floating around early July through mid-August are extrapolations from the standard six-week patch cycle, not an official schedule.
Pity, carryover, and why timing matters
Neverness to Everness uses the Scarborough Fair board-style gacha. Limited-banner rolls cost solid dice, and the featured S-class is guaranteed within 90 pulls, with soft pity beginning at 70. There is no 50/50 system, so every hard pity gives you the rate-up character outright.
Pity, Gift Points, and rate-up progress carry between limited banners of the same type. That carryover is the main reason saving early for an unannounced patch is reasonable, since pulls you skip during Version 1.1 banners will still count toward whichever Version 1.2 banner you decide to chase.
| Rule | Value |
|---|---|
| S-class base rate | 0.99% per roll |
| Soft pity | Starts at 70 rolls |
| Hard pity | Guaranteed featured S-class at 90 |
| A-class guarantee | Every 10 rolls |
| Pity carryover | Yes, to next limited banner of same type |
How to plan pulls before 1.2 details drop
Without confirmed kits, there is no responsible way to declare Exe or Elyms a priority pull. The practical move is to treat Version 1.1 selectively. If Lacrimosa or Chaos directly slot into your roster, pulling is fine; your remaining pity still transfers forward. If neither fits, holding currency preserves flexibility for the 1.2 reveal.
Pre-farming ascension or talent materials is not advisable right now. Element, weapon type, and signature Arc all influence which resources matter, and stamina spent before the official kit reveal can land on the wrong materials.
What to wait for
The decisive moment will be Hotta Studio's official Version 1.2 livestream or character drip marketing, which usually arrives one to two weeks before the patch goes live. That broadcast typically confirms banner order, elements, weapon types, signature Arcs, rerun characters, and the exact patch start date with server-time windows.
Until that happens, treat every claim about Exe and Elyms, including phase order and release windows, as provisional. The characters and their faction affiliation are the only details with consistent backing across community leaks; everything else remains open until the developers publish it directly.
