NTE Shinku Banner Rewards: Glider, Skin & More

Neverness to Everness is rolling out some tantalizing bonus rewards for players who go all-in on Shinku's debut banner. As part of the Version 1.2 update, Hotta Studio has unveiled a set of Resolve Perks that kick in after reaching specific pull milestones. But there's a catch: the timeline is tight, and free-to-play gamers will need to budget their premium currency carefully.

If you've been following the latest Neverness to Everness news, you know the open-world action RPG is gearing up for a packed second post-launch patch. Alongside a roguelike mode and new characters, Shinku's limited banner comes with a unique glider, a motorcycle livery, and an exclusive skin. Here's everything you need to know about the rewards and whether they're worth chasing.

At a Glance

• Event: Shinku's Resolve Perks (Before the Dawn)
• Duration: July 8 – July 28, 2026
• Milestone Rewards:
  • 50 pulls: Overcast Canopy Glider (dark flaming wings)
  • 120 pulls: Hidden Dragon Blizzard-V4 Livery (motorcycle skin)
  • 200 pulls: Student of Terrasea Shinku skin (school uniform outfit)
• Character Role: S-Class Cosmos DPS with fast-paced attacks and an augmenting Ultimate

Shinku's Banner and Resolve Perks Breakdown

The Resolve Perks program runs in parallel with Shinku's limited banner, which means every pull you make on her featured banner counts toward these milestone rewards. The rewards are non-transferable — they only apply to Shinku's banner, not to the standard or weapon banners.

Keep in mind that the 200-pull tier for the Student of Terrasea skin is steep. For context, hard pity in NTE is typically around 90 pulls for a 5-star unit, and soft pity starts around 75. So reaching 200 pulls likely guarantees multiple copies of Shinku or at least one hard-pity five-star, plus the associated starglitter refunds.

If you're a low-spender or F2P, you'll need to decide early whether you can spare the premium currency. Three weeks of dailies, events, and the new roguelike mode (999 Nights) should provide a decent amount of pulls, but 200 is a stretch without saved funds.

Should You Pull?

Pull if …
– You main Shinku or intend to build her as a primary DPS.
– You value cosmetics like exclusive gliders and skins that may not return.
– You have a stockpile of premium currency (about 32,000 to guarantee the skin at worst case).

Skip if …
– You're saving for future characters like Linko or Exe (rumored for Version 1.3).
– You're strictly F2P and can't comfortably reach 200 pulls within the banner window.
– The cosmetic rewards don't appeal to your playstyle.

Save for …
– The next banner if you prefer a different character or want to consolidate resources.

Events & Rewards in Version 1.2

Beyond Shinku's banner, the 1.2 patch brings several time-limited activities that can help you earn extra currency:

• 999 Nights – A roguelike game mode with its own progression system, rewarding weapons and gear.
• Bonus Fishing rewards and extra Gold from Pink Paws Heist events.
• New Draco vehicle – Shinku can drive this motorcycle, a first for the game (previously only Esper Zero could drive vehicles).

These events are excellent opportunities to stockpile pulls if you're aiming for the 200-pull threshold. Make sure to clear them daily.

Preparation Checklist

• Before July 8: Save your premium currency — skip the standard banner and weapon banners.
• During the event: Complete all daily commissions and event quests.
• Milestone check: Use the in-banner counter to track your progress.
• F2P tip: You can earn roughly 60–80 pulls over three weeks if you're active, so you may need to dip into saved currency or skip other banners.

Community Signals

Shinku was introduced via a Combat Showcase trailer showing her as a Cosmos DPS with flashy combos. Hotta Studio also revealed a second skin, Dragonhunter, available at launch. As for future banners, Unconfirmed — subject to change: rumors point to Linko and Exe as the Version 1.3 S-Class units. No official confirmation yet.

Final Takeaway

Shinku's Resolve Perks offer some of the most appealing cosmetic rewards NTE has seen so far, but the 200-pull requirement is a significant ask. Plan your pulls wisely, take advantage of the patch events, and decide based on your own goals. Whether you go for the skin or save for future characters, Version 1.2 is shaping up to be an exciting update.
