Dear players,

The servers of NARAKA: BLADEPOINT will be suspended for maintenance from 11/16/2022 23:00 (UTC) to 11/17/2022 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:

Brand-new content!
I. Brand-new System: Congeneric Weapon System
1. New Weapon: Staff

Heavy raindrops hit autumn leaves. The universe is set in Immortal's Mountain.
In the new version, we will bring you "the origin of all melee weapons" - Staff. Come and try it out for yourself!

2. Congeneric Weapons
One produces two; two produce three; three produce all.
The new weapon "Staff" and "Spear", which you're already familiar with both belong to the category of "Long-handle Weapon", and are called as Congeneric Weapons. Though trying to lower the starting difficulty of the new weapon as much as possible, we will still bring you a brand-new combat experience and the fun of the game.
(1) Congeneric Strike: Staff has the same horizontal and vertical strike combos as Spear.
(2) Congeneric Souljade: [Spear Sap] is renamed as [Long-handle Weapon Sap] and is now a shared Souljade for Staff and Spear together with [Dual Ring].

3. New Item: Crafting Hammer
Like martial arts itself, weapons are diversified as well.
Added a new in-game item named [Crafting Hammer], which can be used to switch Congeneric Weapons.
(1) Item Effect: players can use it to switch between Congeneric Weapons, while maintaining the same quality and fully restoring the durability.
(2) How to obtain: it can be obtained from the Rift Dealer or Morus' Blessing.

II. Area Updates
1. Brand-new Main Area: Yushan Ruins
Yushan Ruins has been covered in ice for a thousand years. Now it has come out again. Is it a blessing? Or a curse?

IV. Brand-new Weather

2. In Starry Night, players will encounter a new weather event: Meteor Rain.
During the Meteor Rain, numerous meteors will fall from the sky, causing damage within an area. Where the meteor crashed, a stardust will remain for a while. Attacking the stardust helps to restore a certain amount of Rage for all units within range. And new Troves will appear in the area of Meteor Rain and disappear after it ends.

Hero Adjustments
Ⅰ.Kurumi
Adjusted the recovery amount of Kurumi's Ultimate [Sacred Circle: Rapid Healing] from 500 Health + 500 Armor to 750 Health. The additional Health recovered will be converted to Armor.

II. Ziping Yin
1. Weakened the effect of Ziping Yin's Skill [Aromatherapy: Embrace] in Solo Mode.
Adjusted to: Triggers [Inspiration Shield] if the player is attacked within 8 seconds (12 seconds in Duos/Trios Mode) after the player absorbed Spiritual Energy, lasting 5 seconds (8 seconds in Duos/Trios Mode). The effect ends in advance after taking 450 damages.
2. Adjusted the effects of Inspiration Shield for Ziping Yin's Skills [Aromatherapy: Embrace] and [Aromatherapy: Protection].
Inspiration Shield now cannot negate the freezing effects of Justina Gu's Ultimate [Arctic Wraith] [Shadowswipe], the airborne effect of Temulch's Skill [Zephyr Wisp] and the stagger effect of being smashed by Vajra.
//Dev Note: Inspiration Shield makes Ziping Yin escape easily in Solo Mode. Therefore, we decreased its duration and threshold of damage taken.
3. Adjusts Ziping Yin's Ultimates
(1) Adjusted the basic Recovery effect per second of [Saving Grace] from 35 Health + 30 Armor to 45 Health. The additional Health recovered will be converted to Armor.
(2) Adjusted the basic Recovery effect per second of [Saving Grace: Aegis] from 30 Health + 30 Armor to 35 Health. The additional Health recovered will be converted to Armor.
//Dev Note: Ziping Yin's Ultimate [Saving Grace] takes effect slowly, continues for a long time, and won't cost all Rage immediately after casting. Therefore, we made it more flexible to cast. It used to recover both Health and Armor simultaneously, which inevitably made players tend to cast it when they had low Health or Armor. Therefore, we adjusted the recovery mechanism to stabilize the benefits gained from casting it.

III. Yoto Hime
Increased the Rage required for Yoto Hime's all Ultimates from 25% to 40%, and decreased the Rage required for each slash from 25% to 20%.

Ⅳ. Valda Cui
