Dear players,
The servers of NARAKA: BLADEPOINT will be suspended for maintenance from 08/18/2022 23:00 (UTC) to 08/19/2022 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.New Map: Holoroth
5 Regions: Plumed Castle, Mehtaab, City of Tang, Empyreal Village, and Yushan Ruins.
(Yushan Ruins is unavailable now: In northwestern Holoroth sits the inaccessible Snowy Peaks that have been ice-bound for years. But something abnormal is plotting inside Snowy Peaks these years, evident in the abrupt cracks on the ice. Perhaps the ice will melt soon.)

1. Brand New Mechanisms
Thorny Roller: Maintains cyclic motion, knocks players airborne once touched and deals a huge amount of damage.
Trap Clip: Interact with it to set a trap. Deals a small amount of damage to enemies stepping on it and bans Grappling Hook and Tracking for a certain time.
Spikes: Knocks players airborne once entering the trap and deals damage. There is a cooldown.
Cactus: Activated by player attacks, deals ranged damage to nearby players and knocks players hit to a far distance.
Firefly Cage: Interact with it to absorb Rage. It can be interacted with multiple players simultaneously and has an upper limit for a single absorption. Upon being drained, it will enter a CD.
Frost Moth: Activated by player attacks, releases ice mist in a wide range and freezes enemies within.
Sand Konjac: Activated by player attacks, releases dust in a wide range and blind enemies within.
Falcon Statues: Keep updating four statues in the Salvation Podium until they face their respective correct direction, in which case mysterious treasures will appear.
Campfire: Interact with it to disperse the Chill brought by the Snowstorm.
Rising Wind: Strengthens the jumping ability of players within range.
Ghostly Hand: Silences the objectives attacked by it for a while.

2. Weather System
In the game, Snowstorm, Sandstorm, and Ghostly Mist will be triggered in random areas at a random time. More advanced Troves will appear in areas affected by weather events.
Snowstorm: Occurs only in the cloudy environment. In a Snowstorm, players affected will gain Chill, forcing players into Heat Loss and reducing Rage constantly when the gauge is full. You can disperse the Chill by getting close to the Campfires marked on the map. New Troves will appear in Snowstorm areas and disappear after the weather changes.
Sandstorm: Occurs only in the cloudy or dusk environment. During a Sandstorm, a large amount of Rising Wind will appear in the area. New Troves will appear in Sandstorm areas and disappear after the weather changes.
Ghostly Mist: Occurs only in the cloudy or dusk environment. During a Ghostly Mist, a large number of Ghostly Hands will appear in the area. New Troves will appear in Ghostly Mist areas and disappear after the weather changes.

3. Regional Gameplays
1) Sliding on the Ice: When Sliding on the ice in Snowy Peaks, players' speed and max sliding distance will be greatly boosted. Enjoy your wild journey in Yushan!
2) Ecosystem: Embracing complex terrain, Holoroth has abundant species. Sand Pears that have two efficacy is an easy-to-find specialty here. You can also pick the Snow Lotus, an antidote to numerous poisons. But icecones may fall from nowhere, so be cautious. The snow caps on pine trees fall from occasionally, and squirrels keep hoarding food in the tree. In the desert, which seems to be desolate and uninhabited, there roam scorpions and lizards.

4. Map Selection
In the Herald's Trial, Quick Match, and Bot Mode, players can choose a specific map or any map to match;
//Players selecting the "Any Map" can be matched with players choosing a specific map, making the matching more effective.

5. New BGM
1) New Combat BGMs
All 5 main regions in Holoroth will have characteristic and exclusive combat BGMs. The new combat BGMs are still designed on the main idea of "Unfettered" as the old ones did. With the improvisation of locally featured instruments, we hope players can obtain an immersive gaming experience on the new map of Holoroth.
2) New Final BGMs
All 5 main regions in Holoroth have new BGMs exclusive to the Finals. Moreover, the 5 main regions in the Morus Isle also have their Final BMG renewed. The Final BGMs are played during the 6th and 7th corruption spread to generate passion in players fighting in the Finals.
3) New Combat BGMs Triggering Mechanism
Optimized BGM mechanism for frequent switching between combat and normal states. This smarter BGM triggering mechanism will enhance your combat experience.

II. New Crossover Hero: Ziping Yin
Gifted and selfless, she gives her all in healing and treating anyone in need.
Such is her medical skill that you'd be forgiven for thinking just her presence alone can heal the sick, or return the fallen from their eternal slumber.
Ziping's gentleness and lively nature belied her strength: for here she stood, unflinching and unwavering though her family and the entire nation were under threat.
"Saving a single life is one thing. To save everyone, however... Yet no matter how tough, I'll do what I can!"


(The third F skill and V ultimate variants are not yet available in this version. Once available, complete hero's Cultivation Quests to unlock. Unlocked automatically if you've already completed the required Cultivation Quests.)

Hero Adjustments
Ⅰ. Temulch
1. Temulch's [Zephyr Wisp] and all his Talents will get into blue Focus while summoning Zephyr Wisp. The stagger time of blowing the enemies is now always 3s and not determined by the number of remaining wisps.
2. Temulch's [Zephyr Prison] and all his Talents can now block the enemy's skill lock, including [Binding Prayer] and [Backstab].
3. Decreased startup frames of Temulch releasing Ultimate in the air and on beams to be consistent with the startup frames when on the ground.

II. Valda Cui
1. Adjusted Valda Cui's [Nether Nightmare: Bind] startup frames from 3.2s to 1.6s. Adjusted the max duration of the Sea Dragon from 20s to 12s, during which Valda Cui can hurl unlimited water spears. All water spear attacks during this Ultimate are ranged strikes.
2. Valda Cui's [Nether Nightmare: Bind] now binds the enemies with [Dragon's Coil] for 1.8s, and the binding is unbreakable. The enemies will be bound at a 1.5m height rather than 3.5m, allowing them to be hit by melee attacks. Enemies are immune to [Dragon's Coil] for 3s after unbinding.
3. Adjusted horizontal strike Damage Multiplier of Valda Cui's [Nether Nightmare: Bind] water spear from 0.72 to 0.25, vertical strike Damage Multiplier from 4.65 to 2, with its startup and recovery frames shortened, keeping the same feel as the horizontal strike.
//Dev Note: The special mechanism of Valda's ultimate makes it difficult to cooperate with other heroes except Tianhai and Viper Ning. Thus, we lower the height of Dragon's Coil in [Nether Nightmare: Bind], so the bound enemies can be attacked by weapons on the ground. Meanwhile, use of water spears is also optimized, which can hit the enemies simpler. Hope this can bring more lineup alternatives with Valda Cui.

Central explosion Damage Multiplier: adjusted from 3 to 2.15;
Middle Circle explosion Damage Multiplier: adjusted from 2.25 to 2.15;

1.[Mythic Grab·Takedown]
Takeda Nobutada charges forward, slamming the first enemy with a blue Focus strike or skill (whether the enemy is attacking or not) to the ground, and grabbing the enemy's weapon. He will gain a great damage reduction effect during the use of the skill.
This will not block blue Focus damage.
Cannot be used while under attack.
2.[Demonic Aid·Engulf]
Takeda unleashes the seal of the demonic spirit inside, Furen, instantly knocking back nearby enemies a short distance. Furen will enhance itself by [Demonic Force], meanwhile the skill will turn into [Demonic Strike·Havoc], lasting for 30 sec.
[Demonic Strike·Havoc]: Furen launches an attack upon enemies standing ahead Takeda. Takeda can use [Demonic Strike·Havoc] 3 times, after which Furen will be sealed again. Takeda will recover a large amount of Health and Armor after [Demonic Strike·Havoc] causes damage.
[Demonic Force] will be upgraded when Takeda grabs weapons or allies obtain weapons. The upgraded [Demonic Force] will be deducted after the weapon drops.
When Furen's [Demonic Force] turns purple, [Demonic Strike·Havoc] can be launched 4 times. When Furen's [Demonic Force] turns golden, [Demonic Strike·Havoc] will be even more powerful.

Hero Adjustments
I. Kurumi
1. When affected by other elements, Kurumi's ultimates [Sacred Circle] and [Sacred Circle: Armor Enhance] will produce different extra effects besides healing according to different elements, and continue the remaining time of the healing circle. The damage and healing effects, etc., inflicted by the adjusted circle still come from Kurumi.
The extra effects of Kurumi's healing circle when affected by different elements are as follows:
- Fire circle: Enemies in the circle will lose health continuously, and their healing will be reduced by 50%. After leaving the circle, the debuff will last for 5 seconds (the damage will be greatly reduced compared to when they were in the fire circle).
- Poison circle: Enemies in the circle will lose health continuously. After enemies leave the circle, the debuff will last for 5 seconds (the damage and the duration will be greatly reduced compared to when they were in the poison circle).
- Wind circle: Enemies in the circle will restore their Energy slower. After leaving the circle, the debuff will last for 4 seconds.
- Water circle: Allies that enter the circle for the first time will gain an extra healing effect.
- Ice circle: The circle will regularly make ice storms, which can freeze enemies.
//Dev Note: After being summoned out, Kurumi's healing circle could be changed occasionally in unexpected situations, which sometimes resulted in the loss of urgently needed healing effect. Therefore, we made the basic healing effect to teammates of the circle unchanged even though it's affected by different elements, and added extra effects to create uniqueness according to different elements.
