NTE 1.5 Banners: Elyms and Exe Release Order, Leaks, and Pull Advice

The latest NTE 1.5 banner leaks point to Elyms in Phase 1 and Exe in Phase 2. Elyms is linked to Cosmos, while Exe is expected to use Chaos. Their Version 1.5 placement, rarity, attributes, kits, and release order have not been officially confirmed.

The rerun lineup, featured A-Class characters, and signature Arc banners also remain unknown. If Neverness to Everness keeps its six-week update cycle after Version 1.4, Version 1.5 is estimated to launch on November 11, 2026.

NTE 1.5 Banner Overview

Elyms and Exe have appeared in official NTE promotional content and are associated with the Bureau of Anomaly Control’s E.T.D. 6 unit. Exe is identified as its captain, while Elyms is its lieutenant.

Their identities are established, but the Neverness to Everness 1.5 banners are not. The Phase 1 and Phase 2 order comes from recent leak reports rather than an official Limited Board announcement. Hotta Studio has also not confirmed their playable attributes, combat roles, or preferred teams.

NTE 1.5 Phase 1 Banner: Elyms

Elyms is expected to lead the first half of Version 1.5 as an S-Class Cosmos character. Early kit information describes a five-hit close-range attack sequence together with off-field attacks, crowd control, and Ultimate-cycling mechanics.

This suggests a hybrid role rather than a purely passive support. If the leaked mechanics remain in her final kit, Elyms could move between melee combat and off-field utility. Her value will depend on how long she stays on the field, how frequently she applies Cosmos, and whether her support tools compensate for the time taken from the team’s main damage dealer.

Potential Elyms Teams

• Iroi and Linko: Elyms could support reaction-focused rotations if her Cosmos application and off-field attacks are consistent.
• Akane Rin: The pairing could benefit from frequent reactions, but the final interaction depends on Elyms’ confirmed cooldowns and application rate.
• Cosmos-focused teams: Elyms adds value only if she fills a missing role instead of duplicating an existing unit.
• Elyms currently suits players who already use Iroi, Linko, or Akane Rin and want a possible Cosmos enabler with active combat options. Players who need sustain more urgently or cannot support another field-time-heavy character should wait for official kit details and trial testing.

NTE 1.5 Phase 2 Banner: Exe

Exe is expected in Phase 2 of the NTE 1.5 banner schedule. Leaks describe him as an S-Class Chaos character, although less is known about his complete mechanics than Elyms’.

Chaos can participate in reaction routes such as Scorch, Nova, and Discord. Early discussion focuses on Discord, which is why Exe is frequently connected with Zankou and Blackbird. This combination has a logical attribute structure, but it is not yet a confirmed meta team.

Potential Exe Teams

• Zankou and Blackbird: Exe could complete an Incantation–Chaos–Psyche reaction core if his leaked attribute and application mechanics are accurate.
• Chaos-focused teams: His value will depend on whether he provides damage, application, or utility that existing units cannot cover.
• Accounts without Zankou or Blackbird: Wait for broader team testing before building around Exe.
• Exe has the clearest theoretical value for players who already own Zankou and Blackbird. Do not pull another character solely to prepare for him, because changes to his final attribute, rotation, or field-time requirements could invalidate that plan.

Elyms vs Exe: Who Should You Pull?

Neither character can be ranked confidently before their final kits are available. Use your existing roster and preferred reaction core as the deciding factors.

Prioritize Elyms if your account already supports Cosmos reactions or needs a possible hybrid unit with off-field utility. Prioritize Exe if you own Zankou and Blackbird and want to develop a Discord-oriented team.

Delay both if your account has a larger role gap, such as sustain, or if pulling would prevent you from guaranteeing a more important rerun.

Will NTE 1.5 Have Rerun Banners?

The NTE 1.5 rerun banners are TBA. No returning S-Class character has been reliably connected to either phase.

Previous releases do not provide a dependable pattern for naming a specific rerun. Team synergy is not proof of banner placement either, so players should wait for the complete Limited Board announcement before choosing between a new character and a returning favorite.

NTE 1.5 Release Date and Banner Schedule

Version 1.4 launches on September 30, 2026. Adding a six-week update cycle places the estimated NTE 1.5 release date on November 11, 2026.

This date depends entirely on Version 1.4 keeping the expected 42-day duration. Exact phase dates, maintenance times, banner names, and regional schedules require official confirmation.

How Many Pulls Should You Save for NTE 1.5?

Existing Limited Board rules state that all Limited Boards share the same S-Class pity counter. If the featured S-Class character does not appear within the first 89 rolls, the 90th roll grants that character.

If these rules remain unchanged in Version 1.5, use the following saving targets:

Check your existing pity before setting a target. These totals cover character acquisition only; signature Arc banners use separate resources and their own pity system. Cosmetics also have different progress conditions, so read the specific Board rules before continuing after obtaining the featured character.

How to Prepare for the NTE 1.5 Banners

1. Check your Limited Board pity. Confirm the count instead of estimating it from memory.
2. Choose one priority character. Saving for either Elyms or Exe is more manageable than trying to obtain both characters, their Arcs, reruns, and cosmetics.
3. Separate character and Arc resources. Solid Dice or Sync Dice are used on Limited Boards, while Arc acquisition follows a different system.
4. Wait for the official lineup. Confirm the character kits, attributes, reruns, A-Class rate-ups, and signature Arcs before finalizing your pull budget.
