NTE 1.5 Banners: Elyms & Exe Leaks Explained

Version 1.4 has not even landed yet, but the NTE 1.5 banners are already taking shape. The latest leaks continue to point to Elyms and Exe as the two headline characters for the next patch, and both belong to the same in-game unit: E.T.D. 6.

If you are tracking the wider schedule, our Neverness to Everness news hub keeps the current and upcoming banner lineup in one place. For now, here is what the 1.5 leaks actually say, what remains unconfirmed, and how to plan your Rift Crystals without guessing.

At a Glance

• New characters: Elyms (Phase 1) and Exe (Phase 2) — Unconfirmed — subject to change
• Elements: Elyms linked to Cosmos, Exe linked to Chaos
• Estimated release: around 2026-11-11, based on the current six-week cycle
• Reruns: Not stated in official materials
• Official confirmation: None yet from Hotta Studio

NTE 1.5 Banner Overview

Phase	New Character	Rerun
Phase 1	Elyms	TBA
Phase 2	Exe	TBA

Both slots are currently expected to be debut banners. No rerun character has been reliably attached to either phase.

NTE 1.5 Release Date

If NTE keeps its roughly six-week update rhythm, Version 1.5 should arrive around 2026-11-11. That is an estimate built on the existing patch schedule, not an official announcement.

Hotta Studio has not confirmed a date, a livestream, or a maintenance window for 1.5. Treat the November target as a planning placeholder until the Special Program airs.

Who Are the NTE 1.5 Characters?

Phase 1: Elyms

Elyms is the lieutenant of E.T.D. 6 and is currently expected to be a Cosmos character. Earlier speculation placed her as a straightforward support or off-field sub-DPS, but newer details have shifted that read.

The latest leaks mention a five-hit close-range attack sequence, which suggests she may spend real time on the field rather than sitting in the backline. That does not automatically make her a main DPS, but it does point to a more active role.

A reasonable working description right now: a character who blends melee damage, reaction setup, and team cycling. Unconfirmed — subject to change.

Phase 2: Exe

Exe is the captain of E.T.D. 6 and is currently linked to the Chaos element. Less is known about his personal kit than Elyms', but his element alone hints at the team direction Hotta may be building toward.

If Exe stays Chaos, he slots naturally into reaction teams that already exist around Incantation, Chaos, and Psych.

Will NTE 1.5 Have Rerun Banners?

This is the hardest part to call. Previous patches have not followed one fixed rerun pattern, and the Version 1.4 schedule already suggests Hotta may be shuffling some reruns around.

Until a Special Program or official post confirms the second banner slot, any rerun prediction is guesswork. Not stated in official materials.

Should You Pull?

This is a leaks-based preview, so treat the advice as directional rather than final.

Pull if…
– You already run a Chaos core and want a natural partner for Zankou or Blackbird.
– You like E.T.D. 6 as a faction and want both senior members on one account.
– You prefer characters who can contribute on-field rather than pure backline supports.

Skip if…
– You are saving for a confirmed 1.4 unit and cannot cover both patches.
– You only pull on officially revealed kits and want to wait for the Special Program.

Save for…
– A rerun you actually missed. With reruns unconfirmed, holding a reserve is the safer play.

Teams and Synergies

If the element leaks hold, the early team picture looks like this:

• Exe (Chaos) pairs most obviously with Zankou and Blackbird, whose Incantation, Chaos, and Psych elements can work together around the Discord reaction.
• Elyms (Cosmos) opens reaction paths involving Anima and Lachina, including Blossom, Remora, and Charge.
• A dual E.T.D. 6 core of Elyms + Exe is thematically clean, but whether their kits actually overlap well is unknown until numbers are datamined or revealed.

Preparation Checklist

• Start banking Rift Crystals now if you plan to pull across both 1.4 and 1.5.
• Finish current limited-time events before the 1.4 window closes.
• Keep an eye on the official Special Program for the confirmed 1.5 date and banner order.
• If you are short on pulls, our Annulith farming guide covers the reliable F2P methods.

What element is Elyms?
Elyms is currently linked to the Cosmos element, giving her access to reaction paths involving Anima and Lachina, including Blossom, Remora, and Charge.

Is Elyms a support?
Probably not a pure support anymore. The latest information suggests a full melee attack sequence, so she may spend more time on-field than earlier predictions assumed.

What element is Exe?
Exe is currently expected to be a Chaos character.

Who could work with Exe?
If Exe remains Chaos, Zankou and Blackbird are two of the most obvious early teammates around the Discord reaction.

When will NTE 1.5 release?
If NTE continues its current update cycle, Version 1.5 could arrive around 2026-11-11. This remains an estimate until Hotta Studio confirms the schedule.

Final Thoughts

The NTE 1.5 banners are starting to look more complete, with Elyms in Phase 1 and Exe in Phase 2 as the current expectation. Elyms looks more active than early reads suggested, while Exe reads as a natural Chaos piece for reaction teams.

None of this is official yet. Keep your Rift Crystals flexible, watch for the Special Program, and avoid committing to a pull plan until the kits and reruns are confirmed.
