NTE: Neverness to Everness launched its Ver.1.4 update, "Nameless Prayer Song," on September 30, 2026. The update adds Kurobane, voiced by Mamiko Noto, as a playable S-rank character. Kurobane is a Soul-type Anomaly attacker who accumulates a resource called Grudge in normal form and then transforms into a witch form that consumes Grudge for extra damage. She can also transform into a bird during exploration, letting her fly through the city, though the flight consumes stamina. Ver.1.4 adds the Pukaland amusement park area with a Ferris wheel, roller coasters, and attractions such as Flower Maze, Octo Cup, and Gold Rush. New Anomaly Requests include a night bus anomaly and a pillow anomaly. The update is available on PC, Mac, PS5, iOS, and Android.
Kurobane has been in the game since launch as an NPC fortune teller at the Witch's House in Hashimaji, a witch who settled there after traveling through several hundred years of time. Her kit splits into two roles: main attacker in transformed state and sub-attacker who supports allies through Immediate Chain. She builds Grudge in normal form with Normal Attack "Glimmering Shadow" (up to 5 stages), Vail Rail Skill, Extreme Counter, and Support Skill, then spends it via the EX Rail Finisher "Requiem's Prayer Song" to become the "Witch of Salvation."
- Purifying Flame: transformed normal attack, consumes Grudge for extra damage
- Death Flame of Deliverance: transformed Vail Rail Skill, unlocked through the 5th stage of Purifying Flame
- All Flames Return to One: second EX Rail Finisher, cancels the transformation and deals high Soul Anomaly damage
- Dark Burial Feathers: normal-form Vail Rail Skill, applies the mark Feather of Paradise Lost for a coordinated attack, Bird of Paradise Lost
- Shadow of the Returning Bird: hold Normal Attack to restrain enemies with Cage of the Sinner and cut their movement speed
Her passive grants 20 Grudge when Support Skill "Bring Judgment Upon Me" triggers, and one Awakening lets her fire two consecutive EX Rail Finishers from her Vail Rail Skill even while switched out. The limited board "Oracle of the Endgame" runs until October 21 at 6:59, alongside a Requiem rerun. Kurobane also runs Genshin Impact-style fortune-telling and Shadow Tag city skills, and she has a modern side: online fortune-telling by smartphone, plus a 58-hour horror movie binge.
