Fellow Appraisers, NTE's Scarborough Fair keeps spinning — Version 1.2 "999 Nights" is live, and Version 1.3's Scarlet Letter arc is already dripping teasers. Since NTE doesn't use a 50/50 system like most gachas, knowing exactly when to save and when to spend matters even more.

GamsGo has put together the complete 2026 Neverness to Everness banner schedule — every S-Class debut, rerun, and Arc drop from launch through Version 1.3, organized phase by phase so nothing gets lost between versions.

Whether you're saving Annulith or buying an NTE account, this guide keeps every die roll on target.

Current Banners — NTE Version 1.2 "999 Nights"

NTE Version 1.2 launched July 8, 2026, and runs two phases:

Phase 1 (Jul 8 – Jul 29): "Before the Dawn" debuts Shinku, a Cosmos main-DPS martial artist who fights in two forms — she builds a Defiant Spirit Gauge in her normal stance, then burns it in Rampage form for heavier AoE damage. Her signature Arc, Blushing Mirage, runs alongside her on the same window.

Phase 2 (Jul 29 – Aug 19): "The Lifeline" swaps in Iroi, an Anima hybrid support and NTE's first dedicated limited healer — team-wide sustain, big damage buffs, and crowd control that anchors Blossom-reaction teams and high-difficulty Abyss content.

PHASE 2 CHARACTERS

Iroi

S-Class | Anima Support / Healer

💡 Iroi can also gather small animals in the open world for upgrade materials — worth doing even before you finish pulling for her.

Upcoming Banners & Leaks — NTE Version 1.3

Hotta Studio has drip-marketed two names for the next update, expected around August 19, 2026, if NTE keeps its three-week cadence (unconfirmed — treat as an estimate until the pre-release livestream).

PREDICTED V1.3 CHARACTERS

Zankou

Zankou

Phase 1

S-Class | Incantation

Linko

Linko

Phase 2

S-Class | Anima

Zankou is a promoted story boss from Chapter 4's "A Research in Scarlet," part of the antagonist Scarlet Letter faction alongside Daffodil and Poinsett — she'll be NTE's second Incantation S-Class after Baicang.

Linko comes from the ETD-6 faction seen in the Co-Ex Test trailer, fighting alongside a ghost anomaly named Xiaozhen that lives in a TV she carries on her back. Neither kit nor Arc has been revealed yet, so don't commit pity until official numbers drop.

Standard Board

The Standard Board never rotates and never has rate-up — every roll gives an equal shot at these six S-Class characters. Your first 50 rolls come with a 20% discount, and hitting 50 unlocks a free pick from the list below.

How NTE's Banners Actually Work

NTE doesn't use a plain pull button. You roll dice across a board — the Limited Board (Solid Dice) for the current featured S-Class, and the permanent Standard Board (Annulith) for six fixed S-Class characters. Landing tiles reward characters, Arcs, and Warp/Lost Pieces you trade in the Fair Exchange shop.

⚠️ Saving tip: Because pity carries between Limited Boards, any leftover pulls from Shinku or Iroi roll straight into Zankou. Don't spend Annulith topping up the Standard Board — earn Fabricated Dice through normal play, redeem our NTE codes list for extra free currency, and save real Annulith for Limited banners.

Conclusion

From Iroi closing out 999 Nights to Zankou and Linko opening the Scarlet Letter finale, NTE's 2026 banner line-up rewards players who track pity carryover phase by phase instead of pulling on hype alone.

If you're short on Annulith when a banner drops, GamsGo offers discounted NTE top-ups, so every Solid Die still counts.

FAQ About NTE Banners

What Is the Current NTE Banner?

Version 1.2 "999 Nights" is currently live. Shinku's Phase 1 banner ran from July 8 to July 29, and Iroi's Phase 2 banner is running from July 29 through August 19, 2026, featuring her as the game's first dedicated limited healer.

What Is the Next NTE Banner?

Version 1.3 is predicted to begin around August 19, headlined by Zankou, an Incantation S-Class tied to the Scarlet Letter storyline. Linko, an Anima S-Class from ETD-6, is expected to follow in Phase 2 around September 9. Both dates remain estimates until Hotta Studio confirms them officially.

Does NTE Have a 50/50 System?

Not on the character Limited Board — hitting hard pity at 90 pulls always guarantees the featured S-Class character, no coin flip involved. The Arc Research Program does have a 50/50, but losing it guarantees the featured Arc within the next 80 pulls.
