Hero Adjustments
I. Valda Cui
The escape animation played while freeing yourself from Valda Cui's Tide Traps can now be canceled by jumping, dodging or crouching. The positions of the Tide Traps she sets on either side of her with [Haze: Teleport] have also been adjusted.
//Dev Note: Valda Cui's [Haze: Teleport] was overpowered, but following this update it's no longer a reliable way to achieve the upper hand when retaliating against foes on flat ground.

II. Kurumi
The recovery granted by [Sacred Circle] and [Sacred Circle: Armor Enhance] in Solos and Duos is now the same as that in Trios.

III. Tarka Ji
Adjusted the damage multiplier of [Inner Fire: Gigaflame] explosion from 285% to 200%.

IV. Wuchen
1. Ultimate: [Tai Chi Rift]
①Reduced the amount of Rage needed to use Tai Chi Rift by 20%.
②Yin Yang Orbs can no longer be set while under attack. You no longer gain gold Focus upon manually removing your own Yin Yang Orbs by holding.
③Setting Yin Yang Orbs now consumes 8% Rage instead of 35%. Once they're set, you can no longer build Rage by dealing or taking damage, but it still builds gradually over time.
④Portals' teleportation area has been increased from a 6-meter radius to a 10-meter radius.
//Dev Note: Yin Yang Orbs now cost less Rage to set, allowing Wuchen greater mobility and adaptability in battle.
2. Ultimate: [Tai Chi Rift·Switch]
①Reduced the amount of Rage needed to use [Tai Chi Rift·Switch] by 20%.
②Extended the stagger duration after Wuchen and his enemies are teleported.

③Travelling through portals now grants a 15% attack boost that lasts for 3.5 sec.
④Dealing or taking damage no longer builds Rage while you have a portal open.
//Dev Note: Wuchen's arrival made new lineup and skill combos possible, but it was not easy to make his ultimates work as part of a team. So, we've lowered their Rage costs and buffed them to make Wuchen a more reliable, feasible pick.

Brand-new content!
I. New Hero: Wuchen, the Mystic Daoist
Born with the blood of both common mortals and the Heralds flowing within his veins, Wuchen was once scorned for his mixed ancestry. That is, until he began studying under the Heralds' leader, Omnius. The arduous, pained years Wuchen had endured burned like a fire within him. They gave him the drive to push harder, and realize the mysteries of heaven and earth. Wuchen holds firm to one thing more than anything else: he is the one with the power to shake off these worldly chains.

NARAKA FAQ – 1/5



A new year, and a new FAQ to start it off fresh!



Is NARAKA coming to console this month?



Unfortunately, we are not yet prepared to make a debut on consoles. However, we’ve made huge progress on console versions, but still need more time on development. When we have a concrete date set we will be sure to announce it on all of our platforms!




Can gamemodes like the Shadow Surge or Eternal Blazes be added to the game permanently?
With the success of the Festive Fellow and Path of Snow events, this is something we are taking into heavy consideration.



Is there anything new coming this year?
Of course, A LOT. Several new heroes, new modes, new map, new weapons (something the players have been requesting for a long time ;) ).




What’s the schedule for Naraka: Bladepoint World Championship?
Here is everything you need to know going forward about the dates for the NBWC : https://www.narakathegame.com/news/official/20211222/32172_993368.html




I'm having trouble launching the game on Epic
Try whitelist the game. Could be caused by anti-cheat software.




I haven’t received my spear skin from the NARAKA FEST giveaway
We apologize for the major delay on distributing the Martial Artist Spear Banner to the winners, our method for the giveaway made finding the winners much more difficult that originally projected.
If you haven’t been in contact with our social media team to gather your player ID, please send an email to [email protected].



Thanks for your understanding!
