NTE 1.4 Character Leaks + 1.5 Preview

As Neverness to Everness Version 1.3 enters its second half, more leaks and rumors about Versions 1.4 and 1.5 are starting to surface.

The biggest highlights right now are the long-awaited Raven and Akane Rin, along with fan-favorite EXE. Based on current community leaks, Version 1.4 is expected to introduce Raven and Akane Rin as two new S-Class Characters, while several reports point to EXE and Elyms potentially arriving in Version 1.5.

This guide rounds up the most talked-about leaks, including character roles, rumored kit directions, banner schedules, and pull recommendations, helping Appraisers plan their Annulith ahead of the upcoming versions.

1. Version 1.4｜Raven & Akane Rin Character Leaks

Version 1.4 is currently expected to feature two new S-Class Characters—Raven and Akane Rin.

Based on current leaks, the Limited Board schedule may look like this:

• Phase 1: Raven

• Phase 2: Akane Rin

• Rumored reruns include Requiem and Chaos, but this has not been officially confirmed.

Community leaks suggest Version 1.4 may revolve around a Pooka Park Music Festival, with a new permanent amusement park area, cosmetic accessories, and a new main story chapter themed around “The Witch.” Final content is subject to the official preview.

1. Raven｜S-Class・Psyche

Expected Board: Version 1.4 Phase 1

Raven is a mysterious girl connected to the “Witch’s House,” often seen accompanied by ravens. Her story appears closely tied to fortune-telling, contracts, and witch-related mysteries.

Based on current combat leaks, Raven appears to be a dual-form main DPS built around a new Darkstar / Corrosion-style team archetype.

Core Mechanics

Base Form

Raven reportedly builds a special resource called Malice through Basic Attacks, Plunging Attacks, parries, and Dodge Counters.

Her Redirect Skill is rumored to quickly build rotation resources while applying Lost Feather to enemies. After switching characters, a raven-like follow-up attack may trigger for additional off-field damage.

Ultimate｜Savior Witch

After using her Ultimate, Raven reportedly enters the floating Savior Witch form, completely changing her combat kit.

In this form, she consumes Malice to enhance her attacks and deal heavy burst damage. Some leaks also mention a special Redirect Skill that becomes available after the fifth Basic Attack or a successful counter. Using her Ultimate again returns Raven to her normal form.

2. Akane Rin｜S-Class・Cosmos

Expected Board: Version 1.4 Phase 2

Akane Rin is the lead vocalist of the Cat Head band, with her electric guitar serving as one of her most recognizable design elements. She is also expected to play a major role in the Pooka Park storyline.

Off stage, she is calm and reserved. On stage, her personality completely changes and she takes full control of the spotlight.

Compared with Raven, current leaks point toward Akane Rin being a much more flexible support / sub-DPS.

Core Mechanics

Her rumored kit revolves around soundwaves, notes, and harmonies.

Akane Rin may provide several team-wide effects, including:

• Team DMG buffs

• Attribute penetration

• Corrosion vulnerability

• Off-field follow-up damage

• Fast rotation setup

Her biggest advantage is low field time. She can provide buffs and off-field damage before quickly swapping back to the main DPS without disrupting the team's rotation.

Pull Recommendation

Raven currently looks more like a character you pull when you are ready to build an entire team around her, while Akane Rin appears easier to slot into multiple existing teams.

For players with limited Annulith, Akane Rin currently looks like the safer and more flexible investment.

Players who already have a complete Shinku team and do not urgently need another main DPS may want to pay close attention to Akane Rin's final kit.

2. Version 1.5 Leaks｜EXE May Finally Become Playable

Compared with Version 1.4, Version 1.5 information is much less reliable.

Several different schedules are circulating in the community, but one of the most common rumors places EXE as the headline character of Version 1.5, while the highly anticipated Nitsa may be delayed again.

Treat everything below as early leak information. Do not plan your rolls around this schedule until the official Version 1.5 preview.

1. Phase 1｜EXE

S-Class｜Captain of ETD-6

EXE is easily one of the most anticipated unreleased characters in NTE and currently serves as the Captain of ETD-6.

His most recognizable feature is the massive otherworldly mechanical arm behind him, along with his apparent ability to move between digital networks and physical space.

Current Rumors

Attribute: Still unconfirmed. Several community theories suggest an Incantation- or dark-themed kit, with EXE expected to be a main DPS.

Combat Theme: Spatial movement, digital abilities, illusions, and cross-dimensional attacks.

If EXE does launch as a main DPS, his gameplay will likely focus on high mobility, wide-range attacks, and flashy space-manipulation effects.

However, there is currently not enough reliable kit information to judge his actual strength or best teams.

2. Phase 2｜Elyms

S-Class｜Lieutenant of ETD-6

Elyms belongs to ETD-6 alongside EXE, with the two characters closely connected through their squad and story roles.

She has appeared in earlier character-related content and has remained one of the more frequently discussed unreleased characters among NTE players.

Current Rumors

Very little is currently known about her combat kit. Community speculation points toward:

• Utility support / sub-DPS

• Battlefield control

• Possible synergy with EXE

• ETD-6 team support

There is currently no solid evidence that Elyms is a mandatory EXE support, so players should not assume the two must be pulled together.

3. NTE Version 1.4–1.5 Character Summary

No matter who you plan to pull, check your current Annulith, pity progress, and future Limited Boards first. If you need extra resources to reach your target, you can also include [NTE Top Up] in your pull budget. Set a clear target and spending limit before topping up, especially with multiple S-Class Characters potentially arriving back-to-back.

Conclusion

For now, Raven and Akane Rin are the main highlights of Version 1.4.

Raven appears to be an on-field main DPS built around the new Corrosion-style archetype, while Akane Rin looks more like a flexible support / sub-DPS who can work both inside and outside that team. Based on current leaks, Akane Rin may offer better long-term flexibility across multiple teams.

As for Version 1.5, EXE remains one of the most anticipated unreleased NTE characters, but his attribute, kit, and release schedule are still unconfirmed. The same applies to Elyms and any possible synergy between the two.

The safest approach for upcoming versions is simple:

Save Annulith for your favorites, and wait for the official kit before pulling for meta.

Leaks are useful for early planning, but skills, numbers, attributes, and even Board schedules can change before release. Always treat official NTE announcements and the live version as the final reference.

FAQ

Q1: Do I need to pull both Raven and Akane Rin?

A: Based on current leaks, no.

Raven should still function as a main DPS without Akane Rin, although her team ceiling may be lower without the ideal support.

Akane Rin appears more flexible and may also fit into existing teams such as Shinku compositions without requiring Raven.

Q2: Are Requiem and Chaos confirmed as Version 1.4 reruns?

A: No. They are still rumored.

The current rerun lineup is based on community leaks and speculation. Wait for the official Version 1.4 preview and Limited Board announcement.

Q3: Do EXE and Elyms need to be pulled together?

A: There is currently no reliable evidence that they are a mandatory pair.

Both characters belong to ETD-6 and are closely connected in the story, but story connections do not necessarily mean their combat kits are locked together.

Until their official kits are revealed, there is no reason to assume you must pull Elyms just to make EXE work.

Q4: Will Nitsa become playable in Version 1.5?

A: Still unconfirmed.

Current community leaks suggest Nitsa may have been delayed, so she should not be treated as a confirmed Version 1.5 character. Wait for official NTE announcements before planning your rolls.
