NTE Version 1.1 New Characters
Lacrimosa (S-Rank, Chaos)
| Chaos DPS | ||
Lacrimosa | Rarity | S-Rank |
| Esper Type | Chaos | |
| Arc Type | Liquid | |
ETT4's resident sleepy ace makes her playable debut in Version 1.1. Known for dozing off in unexpected places and making pit stops at every tomato jelly vending machine she passes, Lacrimosa is much more than her quirks suggest - she's one of ETT's most reliable members when it counts.
Combat Kit:
- Lacrimosa controls Esper constructs to attack enemies and applies the Nightmare status effect - dealing 1 tick of Chaos damage per second over 3 seconds, stacking up to 10 times.
- Her ultimate, Working Day Judgment, sweeps a wide area, applies Nightmare to all enemies in range, and instantly maxes out their stacks.
- She can also copy enemies alongside their combat techniques, creating duplicates that fight using the original enemy's moves.
Chaos (S-Rank, Lakshana)
| TBD | ||
Chaos | Rarity | S-Rank |
| Esper Type | Lakshana | |
| Arc Type | -- | |
Already familiar to players from the main story, Chaos - a heavy hitter from ETD6 - officially joins the playable roster in Version 1.1. Behind his upright, no-nonsense exterior is a battle-hungry, slightly blunt, and surprisingly chatty fighter.
Combat Kit:
- Chaos summons a thick fog hound that fights at his side. The heavier the karma of those around him, the more fog he has available.
- In the open world, he can leave his hound behind as a teleport anchor and warp back to it at any time - effectively letting players drop custom waypoints.
- In combat, he builds Crime Charges through attacks, marks enemies with the Warrant status (amplifying all damage dealt to that target), and spends charges on heavy follow-up attacks.
- His ultimate, Retribution, applies Warrant on hit and supercharges the follow-up damage that comes after.
New Main Story Episode - Dreamwalk Corridor
Version 1.1's main story episode is titled "Dreamwalk Corridor," and it picks up the ongoing narrative thread surrounding the mysterious organization known as the Scarlet Letter. According to the livestream, Appraisers can expect a member of the organization to resurface, familiar faces believed to be gone for good making a return, and critical intel surfacing on the location of a betrayer. As host Light put it, "nothing is what it seems." The story dives deeper into the conspiracy that began in Version 1.0, with dramatic twists that promise to keep players guessing.
New Locations
Two new explorable areas are being added in Version 1.1:
- Sunward Island - A scenic coastal resort area just outside Hethero, introduced as part of the new main story episode.
- Corridor of Echoes - A brand-new location anomaly where Appraisers will face off against new enemy types. Most of its secrets are intentionally left for players to uncover in-game.
