Role

Main DPS (DoT)

Lacrimosa is the first new character arriving in Version 1.1 Phase 1. She is a Chaos-element Main DPS whose kit revolves around Damage over Time (DoT) mechanics. Her gameplay centers on stacking Nightmare effects on enemies, which trigger additional burst damage once the stacks reach their maximum threshold.

Players who completed the early tutorial already have hands-on experience with her abilities. Lacrimosa arrives with five unique outfits: New Moon Lullaby, Piano Key Sonatina, Yesterday's Melody, Gilded Rhapsody, and Nightingale's Crescendo.

Her signature Arc, Nocturne Special, is available on the weapon banner running from June 3 to June 24.

Role

TBD

Chaos is the first limited male character in Neverness to Everness, arriving in Phase 2 (June 24 – July 8). He is a member of ETD-6 introduced during Chapter Four of the main story, possessing a teleportation ability that distinguishes him from the current roster.

In combat, Chaos wields both a scythe and gun as weapons. His full kit breakdown and combat role have not been officially detailed yet — this section will be updated once his abilities are confirmed. Two outfits are available at launch: Never Skip and Clear Skies.

His signature Arc, Pursuit Special, runs on the weapon banner from June 24 to July 8.

New Location: Sunward Island

Sunward Island is a tropical vacation destination located outside Hethereau. The new area features its own set of anomalies, Oracle Stones, dice, and other collectibles to discover. Players can explore the island through the "Sunward Travelogue" event running from June 3 to July 8.

A second new area, the Corridor of Echoes, has also been teased but detailed information has not yet been released.

Porsche 918 Spyder Collaboration

The Porsche 918 Spyder arrives in Hethereau as a limited-time collaboration vehicle. The collaboration also includes two exclusive leather racing outfits for the protagonist (Esper Zero) and a new luxury property, the Pegasus Residence — a penthouse with panoramic glass windows and a car elevator.

The Porsche and outfits are obtainable through a limited-time event banner that accepts both Fons and Annuliths. Exact costs, odds, and banner mechanics have not been fully detailed. Players who have been hoarding Fons can use them here without spending premium Annuliths on cosmetics.

New Game Modes

Fight Club

A new City Stamina activity where players fist-fight opponents in prison for Fons. Unlocked after defeating the Tornado Gang leader. Available in both solo and matchmaking modes with up to 4 players per match.

Solo 4P Co-op Fons Reward

Underground Circuit

A 6v6 PvP vehicular combat racing mode. Vehicles are scattered around the arena at the start — players scramble to grab one before the race begins. Every vehicle is armed, allowing drivers and passengers to attack rivals. Vehicles explode when durability reaches zero, eliminating everyone inside.

Pre-Patch Preparation Tips

The Fons Rush event (June 8-15) doubles Fons from City Stamina with no daily cap.

Reach Hunter Level 45 before June 26

The Pixel Surge double-drop event at HL45 yields 8 gold cartridges per run (400% efficiency).

3

Hoard Fons for the Porsche gacha

Use Fons for the skin/vehicle banner, keep Annuliths reserved for character banners.

4

Clear Beyond the Rails

Complete both trains for maximum Annuliths and salvage materials before the new content drops.
