NTE Version 1.2 Recap: Which Early Leaks Came True After Zhenhong and Illica Released?

Version 1.2 is already live, so this page has been rewritten as a recap and accuracy check rather than a leak post.

Quick takeaways

• Zhenhong did become one of the central 1.2 characters
• Illica, not Nixia or Canhong, was the other major release tied to the patch
• Nixia and Canhong did not arrive in 1.2 as many early discussions suggested
• The old resource-planning advice still has some value, but the original banner assumptions are outdated

Zhenhong really mattered

Once 1.2 launched, Zhenhong was not just a story-hype character. She became a real pull-priority discussion point for players looking to strengthen burst-focused teams.

1.2 was more than just banners

Early speculation that 1.2 would combine new characters with broader system or content updates was directionally correct. Players ended up needing to evaluate both banner value and overall patch resource flow.

Nixia did not get moved up into 1.2

Community demand was strong, but demand alone did not change the release order. In hindsight, that rumor was useful as community context, not as a reliable pull-planning basis.

Canhong stayed more of a story-interest topic than a live pull target

Canhong remained relevant in discussions, but not as an actual 1.2 banner decision for most players.

1. 1Do not plan around leaked names alone; plan around actual team needs.
2. 2Keeping one full pity ready is still smart patch management.
3. 3Old preview pages are best used as timeline references, not current banner guides.

For up-to-date pull decisions, use the newest banner schedule and live character guides instead.
