The servers of NARAKA: BLADEPOINT will be suspended for maintenance from Mar 15th, 2023 at 23:00 (UTC) to Mar 16th, 2023 at 03:00 (UTC). We suggest that you log out in advance and enter the game again after the maintenance.

The details for this update are as follows:



[h3]I. New Hero: Akos Hu[/h3]

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Rough, rude, and reckless, Akos was born free and raised by tigers.
Never comfortable within the rigid confines of civilization, he served a brief stint in the military before deserting and throwing himself into the fight against the Empire's injustices.
With the people of CloudSparrow behind him and his beloved Feria at his side, he plans to burn the old world down and build a new one from the ashes!
(The third skill and ultimate variants are not yet available in this version. Once available, complete the Hero's Cultivation Quests to unlock. Unlocked automatically if you've already completed the required Cultivation Quests.

[h3]II. Limited-time Event: Resounding Roar[/h3]
Event time: Mar 16th, 2023 update - Mar 29th, 2023 at 20:00 (UTC)
Wild tiger roars, taking down enemies at will!
Event Rules:
1. Complete Daily Quests to obtain [Akos Trial Voucher] and [Tiger Emblem].
2. Complete Event Quests to obtain [Tiger Emblem]. A new quest can be unlocked only after completing the current one. Quests cannot be completed before they take effect.
3. Use Tiger Emblem to redeem certain rewards including Untamed Treasures, Akos Legendary Base, Epic Accessory, Epic Background, and more.

[h3]III. New Level in Showndown: [Enigma Peak][/h3]
When Sense Level reached Lv.350, use the Rune Key to challenge the most dangerous Enigma Peak. The monsters have strengthened Health and Attack, and some of the Bosses' moves have changed.
In the Enigma Peak, Showdown Souljades drop by various kinds. If you defeat a certain number of Bosses in a single match, you can also receive rewards like Legendary Souljade Choice Gift, Ice Essence, exclusive achievements and so on.

[h3]IV. Map Adjustments[/h3]
The map structure of Serpent Pass and Myste Forests in the Snowy Peaks region of Holoroth has been rebuilt to improve the resource-collecting experience and provide more tactical strategies in terms of the integrity of the layout.





[h3]I. Feria Shen [/h3]
1. Adjusted the Rage required for releasing Ultimate [Mech Mayhem: Co-pilot]'s beacon from 30% to 50%.
2. Adjusted the Bronze Mech's Health summoned by the Ultimate [Mech Mayhem], the detailed values are as follows:
When not equipped with Armor, adjusted Bronze Mech's Health from 1,500 to 1,250.
When equipped with Common Armor, adjusted Bronze Mech's Health from 1,750 to 1,500.
When equipped with Rare Armor, adjusted Bronze Mech's Health from 2,000 to 1,750.
When equipped with Epic Armor, adjusted Bronze Mech's Health from 2,250 to 2,000.
When equipped with Legendary Armor, adjusted Bronze Mech's Health from 2,500 to 2,250.
When equipped with Extreme Armor, adjusted Bronze Mech's Health from 2,750 to 2,500.
3. Under all Ultimate variants, the damage multiplier of Bronze Mech in cannon mode is adjusted from 4.0 to 3.2; In non-cannon mode, the damage multiplier is adjusted from 2.0 to 1.6. Increased the damage multiplier of Swarm from Bronze Mech summoned by [Mech Mayhem] and [Mech Mayhem: Restore] from 0.15 to 0.17.
//Dev Note: With Rage-related talents, [Mech Mayhem: Co-pilot] was cast more frequently than we expected, so we decided to increase the Rage required for casting the beacon. At the same time, we adjusted the damage structure of Bronze Mech to solve the dilemma of the players who had no way to fight back when they were hit continuously by cannons.

We have optimized the underlying layer of the engine by adopting the latest texture compression technology.

Hero Adjustments
I. Wuchen
1. Adjusted the performance of [Spirit Blades·Array]. When the blade hits an enemy, instead of reducing the weapon's durability and triggering Clash or Counter, it will now reduce the enemy's energy by 5,000 points.
2. Reduced the CD of [Spirit Blades·Array] from 25 sec to 22 sec.
3. Adjusted the interval at which [Spirit Blades·Array] will auto release. The first blade is released after a shorter interval as enemy approaches, then the rest blades are released with constant intervals of 3 seconds between each one.
//Dev note: When the mechanism of a blade that automatically releases and clashes against an enemy’s attack is included in the same skill, duel results become unstable and unpredictable. For this reason, we’ve adjusted the mechanism of the F2 skill and the combat pacing.
4. Increased the Vulnerable value of [Tai Chi Rift·Switch] for the teleported enemy from 10% to 15% while maintaining its duration.

II. Ziping Yin
1. Adjusted the Damage Reduction inflicted by the Skill [Aromatherapy] from 20% to 30%.
2. Instead of directly triggering [Inspiration Shield], the Skill [Aromatherapy: Protection] will now apply an 8-sec [Inspiration], then trigger [Inspiration Shield] when Ziping Yin is hit, lasting for 8 sec.
3. Adjusted the max Rage for her Ultimate [Saving Grace] and all the Talents from 75,000 to 60,000.

Ⅲ. Matari
1. After releasing the Skill [Silent Flutter] and its derived Skills, Attack is boosted by 15% for 3 sec.
2. Reduced the CD of [Silent Flutter: Retrace Flash] from 30 sec to 22 sec. Adjusted the duration of the mark from 7.5 sec to 9 sec after the mark is left by the flash, and the Retrace Flash can be used under attack.
3. The Ultimate [Unseen Wings] and [Unseen Wings: Assassin] can be used under attack now; however, after Matari casts the Ultimate, she no long refreshes the skills for other teammates (but can still refresh her own skills).
//Dev note: When being hit, Matari now can use [Unseen Wings] and be teleported back after releasing [Silent Flutter: Retrace Flash]. We’ve made these adjustments to bring her higher flexibility and to encourage players to come up with more combat strategies.

Ⅳ. Feria Shen
1. Optimized the special effect of the Skill [Gunplay: Aim] when raising the gun.
2. Optimized the CD of Bronze Mech when switching the Cannon forms under all talents from 5 sec to 4 sec.
3. Optimized the releasing performance and space determination of [Mech Mayhem: Co-pilot]’s Beacon. Now it can be placed on rough terrain.
//Dev note: It was hard for Feria Shen to place beacons when battling on rough terrain, so we’ve made the optimization.

Ⅴ. Tarka Ji
Slightly increased the range of the 2nd-stage dodge (elbow strike) when he is casting his ultimate.

VI. Takeda Nobutada
Reduced the staggering time of [Mythic Grab·Takedown] when hitting non-Blue Focus enemy.

VII. Other Adjustments
Added a display of the enemy’s Energy Bar to the caster when some skills that can reduce the enemy’s energy (e.g., [Zephyr Prison], [Spirit Blades·Array], etc.) hit the enemy.

Showdown Adjustments
I. Combat Adjustments
1. Reduced the ability of Hammer Evil-Ent and Mountain Ghost to bounce back ranged attack.
2. Hammer Evil-Ent will not use Purple Focus strikes twice in a row.

Ⅱ. Omens Adjustments
1. Reduced the trigger interval of the Ice Thorn. Now, the Ice Thorn will only be triggered when the player enters the triggering area.
2. Adjusted the position of the following Omens in Gelid Yushan: Frozen Earth, Ice Wind, and Ice Thorn; and slightly increased the number of these Omens.

Ⅲ. Enigma Domain Adjustments
1. Adjusted the boss’ respawn location and rules to make it respawn nearer to the player.
2. Adjusted the distribution of monsters near Eventide Temple Cortile and Bhiku's Dorm to make it easier to find.
3. Adjusted the distribution of monsters near Lake Yellowleaf to prevent from disturbing the boss battle.
