[h2]New Weapon: Fistblades[/h2]
The NARAKA fistblades, a new weapon, evolved from humanity's primal weapon: the fists. Originating from styles as ancient as the Han Dynasty and traditional Indian combat, these blades extend the natural melee of fistfights, enriched with the Gar Kung Gu's horizontal slashes and footwork. They offer a blend of swift, close-quarter maneuvers and kicks, all while being lighter than typical weapons for enhanced agility in battle.
Mark your calendars for their arrival on July 2nd, and remember to keep those fists at the ready for this innovative addition to your combat repertoire.
Along with the introduction of the NARAKA fistblades, enthusiasts will be thrilled to hear that their favorite Naraka heroes are being transformed into adorable cat figurines, available for pre-order. Embrace the charm of these unique collectibles, perfect for displaying your love for the game in a whimsical new form.
