Overview
Status update: the Version 1.0 banner cycle ended on June 3, 2026 at 05:59 UTC+8 with the close of Misty Tipsy Style. The Version 1.1 cycle is now live, led by Lacrimosa's Fading Reverie banner. The Version 1.0 banner details below are retained for historical reference.
Version 1.0 of Neverness to Everness launches with two consecutive limited character banners across roughly five weeks of live service. The first banner features Nanally, the launch S-Class Anima main DPS, and runs from server open through May 13, 2026. The second banner features Hotori, the S-Class Cosmos support and Eibon Antique Shop proprietress, running from May 13, 2026 at 10:00 UTC+8 through June 3, 2026 at 05:59:59 UTC+8.
Both banners use the Scarborough Fair board-game gacha format. Players use Solid Dice to roll on a Limited Banner board, and the featured S-Class character is guaranteed at the 90-pull hard pity threshold (with increased S-Class probability beginning at 70 pulls). There is no 50/50 mechanic; pulling an S-Class on a limited banner always grants the featured character.
Pity carries over between Version 1.0 banners. A player who reaches 70 pulls on Nanally's banner without an S-Class drops carries the elevated probability into Hotori's banner when it goes live, so players who do not pull Nanally before May 13 retain progress toward the next limited unit.
Phase 1: The Ichi-daime
The Ichi-daime is the first limited banner of Version 1.0 and the first character banner ever to run on the global servers. It rate-ups Nanally as the featured S-Class and three A-Class characters as off-banner rate-ups.

Nanally is the launch main DPS pick for almost every team composition. Her core mechanic is the automatic follow-up attack: whenever any teammate lands a hit, she triggers a follow-up Anima strike from off-field with no player input required. Combined with her on-field claw combos and Underboss summon ultimate, this gives her the highest sustained team DPS in the launch roster.
Players who pull Nanally on Phase 1 also unlock cosmetic side rewards from the banner, including an outfit (The Popular Kid), a vehicle livery, and a glider skin tied to her Coluccis Family identity. These cosmetics are exclusive to the Phase 1 banner and do not appear on the standard rotation.
Phase 2: Misty Tipsy Style
Phase 2 history: The Phase 1 Ichi-Daime banner closed at 05:59:59 UTC+8 on May 13, 2026, and Misty Tipsy Style took over at 10:00 UTC+8 the same day after a brief maintenance window. Pity carried forward across the maintenance gap and into Hotori's banner. The featured cosmetic milestones at 50, 120, and 200 pulls on Misty Tipsy Style are an Umbrella Glider, a Blizzard V4 bike livery, and a Hotori exclusive outfit respectively; the maintenance compensation package of approximately 300 gems plus 10 standard pulls was awarded directly from the Hotori banner on May 13, 2026.
Misty Tipsy Style is the second limited banner and runs for three weeks following the close of The Ichi-daime. The banner timing is confirmed as May 13, 2026 at 10:00 UTC+8 through June 3, 2026 at 05:59:59 UTC+8.

Hotori is the proprietress of the Eibon Antique Shop and the premier support pick at launch. Her Non-Closed Timepiece mechanic powers a time-stop ultimate that completely freezes enemy actions for the duration, while her Misty Moon Style basic attacks chain with her concealed umbrella katana. She replays recorded teammate attacks during the time-stop window for additional damage and provides team healing through her timepiece energy mechanic.
Hotori was unplayable during all three closed beta tests and received a significant design refresh between earlier showcases and her final launch presentation. Her A-Class rate-up companions on Phase 2 have not yet been confirmed and will be announced through the official channels in the days leading up to May 13.
Cosmetic Milestone Counter
Each Limited Board layers a separate cosmetic milestone counter on top of the standard pity track. Hitting specific pull thresholds within a single banner unlocks themed cosmetics tied to the featured character. The cosmetic counter is independent of the 70/90 character pity and does not feed into pity carryover between banners. The counter does, however, retain progress within a single banner across reruns, so partial progress on Nanally's Phase 1 cosmetics is not lost when the same banner returns later.
Three cosmetic tiers exist on every Limited Board. The reward at each milestone is themed to the featured character and rolls into the player's permanent inventory once unlocked.
Pull Milestone | Reward | Theme |
|---|---|---|
50 pulls | Glider skin | Banner-themed glider livery, slots into the equipped glider list |
120 pulls | Vehicle skin | Vehicle livery applied through the Vehicle Customization menu |
200 pulls | Character outfit | Featured-character alternative outfit equipped through the character menu |
Cosmetics also have a small chance to drop directly from board tiles before the milestone counter reaches the threshold. The base drop rate is roughly 0.33% per applicable tile, climbing to about 0.68% once cosmetic-pity tracking activates after a long dry stretch. In practice, most cosmetic acquisitions come from the milestone counter rather than the random drop tile. The drop chance is a small bonus rather than a reliable acquisition path, so plans should be built around hitting 50, 120, and 200 pulls respectively when targeting a specific cosmetic.
On Phase 1 (The Ichi-daime), the cosmetics are tied to Nanally's Coluccis Family identity. The 50-pull glider, 120-pull vehicle skin, and 200-pull outfit (The Popular Kid) all match her Anomaly Hunter visual theme. On Phase 2 (Misty Tipsy Style), the cosmetics are tied to Hotori's Eibon Antique Shop and Misty Moon Style aesthetic. Players who pull through the full 200-pull track on a banner finish with the featured character, the full cosmetic set, and substantial pity carryover into the following limited banner.
Arc Research Program (Weapon Banner)
The Arc Research Program is the parallel weapon banner that runs alongside both character banners during Version 1.0. Players use Tri-Key to pull on a 10-pull system that guarantees an S-Class Arc within 60 pulls (6 ten-pulls of 10) and the featured S-Class Arc within 80 pulls (8 ten-pulls of 10). Every pull on the Arc Research Program awards an A-Class Arc or higher; B-Class Arcs do not appear on this banner.
The Arc banner has no traditional 50/50: when the soft pity hits at 60 pulls, the S-Class Arc has a 25% chance to be the featured Arc, and if not received it is guaranteed by the 80-pull mark. The featured Arcs rotate alongside each character banner, with Nanally's signature Arc featured during The Ichi-daime and Hotori's signature Arc featured during Misty Tipsy Style.
Standard Banner
The Standard Banner uses Fabricated Dice and is permanently available alongside the limited banners. It contains the six standard-pool S-Class characters: Sakiri, Baicang, Hathor, Fadia, Daffodil, and Jiuyuan. After 50 pulls on the Standard Banner without an S-Class drop, players unlock the free S-Rank Selector, letting them choose any one of those six characters at no extra cost.
The first 10-pull on the Standard Banner is discounted by 20%, costing 8 Fabricated Dice instead of 10. The next four 10-pulls also receive the discount, bringing the total cost to roughly 40 Fabricated Dice for the first 50 pulls (instead of the standard 50). This makes the S-Rank Selector unlock notably cheaper than the math suggests at first glance.
Banner Strategy
The two Version 1.0 banners feature complementary archetypes. Nanally is a main on-field DPS who anchors damage rotations, while Hotori is a support and healer who layers time manipulation and replay damage on top of teammate attacks. Players who pull both will end Version 1.0 with one of the strongest possible launch team cores: Nanally on field, Hotori swapping in for buffs and heals, plus two A-Class flex picks.
If you can pull only one limited character, choose based on whether your team needs damage (Nanally) or support (Hotori). Nanally is the safer general pick because her follow-up attacks scale with any teammate composition.
Pity carries forward between banners. Players who fall short on Nanally without hitting hard pity keep elevated rates for Hotori.
Save Annulith if you plan to pull both. Pulling 90 times on each banner requires roughly 180 Solid Dice; combining launch rewards, pre-registration grants, and the launch login event puts most active accounts within range of two pity ceilings without paid currency.
Pull on the Arc banner only after securing the character. The featured Arc is most valuable on the matching character; pulling for the Arc before pulling the character can leave you with a weapon nobody can equip optimally.
Finish the Standard Banner's 50-pull S-Rank Selector before spending all your dice on limited banners. The selector activates only once per account and gives one of six S-Class characters for free.
Looking Ahead to Version 1.1
After June 3, 2026, the Version 1.0 banner cycle ends. The Version 1.1 cycle is expected to begin shortly afterward with the Lacrimosa banner as Phase 1 and a Chaos banner as Phase 2. Lacrimosa has been confirmed as an S-Class Chaos damage Esper with the ETD-4 affiliation and an Esper Constructs weapon class, with a melee-and-ranged switching mechanic on the aim key, and a June 26 birthday. Chaos has been confirmed as the second S-Class for Version 1.1; his kit was confirmed in the Version 1.1 Special Program, with a Lakshana attribute and Condensate Arc compatibility, ahead of the June 24, 2026 banner phase start. The Version 1.1 launch date has been officially confirmed as June 3, 2026 alongside the Dreamwalk Corridor patch. Pity carries from Misty Tipsy Style into the first 1.1 limited banner; cosmetic milestones reset.

Phase 2 Live Confirmation (Post-Launch)
With the May 13 maintenance complete, the Misty Tipsy Style Limited Board is live and features Hotori as the S-Class exclusive. The A-Class boost roster on the board is Haniel, Aurelia, and Skia. The board's milestone rewards land at 50 pulls (Orchid Breeze glider livery), 120 pulls (Autumn Haze Blizzard-V4 vehicle livery), and 200 pulls (Hotori's Priceless Orchid limited outfit). The Marching Beyond Time S-Class Arc is concurrently obtainable through the Arc Research Program, and the board honors the no-50/50 guarantee shared across all current limited boards.
Phase end: June 3, 2026 at 05:59 AM (UTC+8). The Version 1.1 Dreamwalk Corridor update launches the same day, June 3, 2026, with Lacrimosa and Chaos as the headline reveals.
