Hero Adjustments
I. Yoto Hime
1. Changed the Defense Focus during the startup frames of [Flying Edge: Callback] to a Blue Focus. Increased the Demonic Blade's hover time from 5 sec to 9 sec, and enhanced the horizontal strike's 2nd stage pull performance.
2. Adjusted initial Ultimate Talent [Demon Blade]
(1) Canceled the mechanism of "increasing Attack based on the number of nearby Remains". Yoto Hime's Ultimate Attack is now increased based on the number of living enemies within a 10m radius at each flash or strike. The corresponding relationship is as follows:
Enemy Count
Ultimate Attack Increased
≤1 - 0%
2 - 20%
3 - 40%
4 - 50%
≥5 - 55%
(2) Increased Attack remains consistent throughout the Ultimate duration and lasts until the Ultimate ends.
//Dev Note: The previous conditions for [Demon Blade] were a bit harsh in real combat as it was difficult to ensure the presence of Remains in every scenario. Therefore, we adjusted it to have a more common trigger condition. We also distributed the trigger chances to every flash or strike, providing more gameplay options during actual combat.
II. Wuchen
1. Adjusted the calculation formula of reducing enemy weapon's durability for the [Spirit Blades] Skill during a Clash from a fixed value to 34% of the weapon's max durability, ensuring a consistent reduction across different weapon qualities.
2. Optimized the experience of casting the [Spirit Blades: Autotrack] Skill in the air. The recovery frame stagger can now be interrupted in advance with a Dodge or plummet strike.
3. Adjusted Ultimate [Tai Chi Teleport: Portal]:
(1) Increased the interaction radius of the Portal from 2m to 4m.
(2) Adjusted the way the Portal is cast in the air. Wuchen can now cast the Portal while airborne without waiting to land.
Weapon Adjustments
I. Staff
1. Slightly reduced the stagger duration after a Charged Horizontal Strike hits.
2. Increased the knockback distance of Charged Vertical Strikes.
II. Nunchucks
1. Blue Focus Strikes can now restore Biding Fury on hit.
2. Slightly increased the stagger duration when a Horizontal Strike or a Sprint Horizontal Strike hits.
III. Longsword
1. Slightly increased the stagger duration when a Vertical Strike or a Sprint Vertical Strike hits.
Souljade System Update
Added Consumable and Upgradable Souljades to the current Souljade System, expanding the possibilities in battles.

Consumable Souljades have a default attribute of 6% Melee Damage Reduction.
1. Some Souljades have changed into Consumable Souljades.

Intel Xe Super Sampling (XeSS) technology is a new image amplification technology based on AI deep learning which supports high performance and high fidelity visuals. It uses deep learning to synthesize images that are very close to the quality of native high-resolution rendering, which can dramatically improve game performance and ensure excellent image quality.

4. At present, D3D12 is still in testing, and its functions and performance are still under continuous optimization
(1) At present, only some graphics cards can open the D3D12 test version.

Brand-new Content
I. New Hero: Tessa, The Vixen
Sultry but deadly, don't let those tails fool you. Many have fallen prey to her beguiling charms.
A young Herald sharing her soul with an ancient fox spirit, Tessa uses charm and trickery to manipulate any and all into doing her bidding.
She wields sensuality and wit like weapons, weaving a web of pleasure to ensnare her prey. Though her love might feel genuine, the targets of her affection are little more than pawns in her quest to revive the fallen god Sunwing.
The third skill and ultimate are not yet available in this version. Once available, you can complete heroes' Cultivation Quests to unlock them. If you've completed the required Cultivation Quests before upcoming updates, the skill and ultimate will be unlocked automatically.

2. Map Updates
(1) Holoroth - Frigid Pools
On the Frigid Pools of Holoroth, vast fields of Lunar Tears have bloomed, along with peculiar iron puppets appearing. A strange skull is found among the blooms; what happens if you offer it the Lunar Tears you’ve picked?
(2) The Morus Isle - Cosmic Pillars
An anomaly occurred at the Cosmic Pillars: a portal that cannot be closed has opened!
3. New Mechanism - Pod
Small accompanying robots appeared in the Morus Isle and Holoroth. Hold the buttong to interact and awaken these robots. When your Armor is not full, they will provide you with recovery until their stored armor is depleted.

For more detailed information on these particular Star-Collection Bonus Gifts please see our FAQ: https://www.narakathegame.com/news/update/20230808/35280_1103467.html.
Hero Adjustments
I. Kurumi
1. Optimized the [Healing Ray] skill and its Talents, altering the logic it uses to choose a link target.
(1) If there's a [Marked] ally in the direction aimed, it links to them.
(2) If not, it links instead to the nearest ally within 30m (prioritizing heroes and Remains, then Light Parasols).
(3) In the event there are no [Marked] allies, and no others to link within 30m, a Light Parasol is summoned in the direction aimed instead.
2. Optimized the skill [Healing Ray] and all its talent moves.
(1) Slightly increased the attack range of the Horizontal Strike after connecting the target.
(2) The Horizontal Strike after connecting the target now provides 100% damage reduction instead of 70%. During the recovery frames, the damage reduction is 0.
3. While the healing circle of Ultimates [Purified Circle] or [Purified Circle: Armor] is active, you can recast it by unleashing the Ultimate again. The new circle inherits the old one's remaining time and elemental effects.
4. The Ultimate [Purified Circle: Rapid] now launches a knock-airborne attack on nearby enemies.
//Dev Note: Kurumi possesses strong rescue and protection capabilities, but her survivability has been slightly lacking through each version update. Therefore, we have adjusted the difficulty of using [Healing Ray] and added additional effects to [Purified Circle] to lower the entry barrier for Kurumi and enhance her survivability.
II. Temulch
1. Improved the operation experience of all [Zephyr Wisp] skill branches:
(1) Jump optimization: slightly increased the jumping height. Now the character's speed when activating the skill will be reset, ensuring consistent jumping height. During the jump phase, you can control the character's movement with directional buttons.
(2) Changed the status during the jump from Blue Focus to Golden Focus.
//Dev Notes: The ability to perform horizontal movement during the jump phase significantly enhances Temulch's mobility. We hope this change addresses the issue of Temulch being easily interrupted by the Uppercut Slash move after skill activation and jumping.
III. Tarka Ji
1. After activating the Ultimate, Tarka Ji's 2nd-stage dodge (elbow strike) attack can interrupt higher Focus. Now it can interrupt enemies' Purple Focus Strikes.
2. The damage multiplier for the skill [Flame Force: Fireball] has been adjusted from 2.0 to 2.2.
3. Tarka Ji now expends 8.5% instead of 9% Rage to cast [Flame Force: Fireball] while [Fire Frenzy: Reload] is in effect.
IV. Valda Cui
1. The bubble duration of skill [Water Trap: Trinity] has been adjusted from 4 sec to 2.5 sec.
2. Added a 3-sec CD after throwing the water spear during the Ultimate [Rising Tide: Unchained], preventing consecutive spear throws.
//Dev Notes: Consecutive spear throws with continuous Focus have provided Valda with strong defensive advantages and exerted immense pressure on opponents during gameplay. To balance her offensive and defensive capabilities, we have introduced a CD for consecutive spear throws.
V. Zai
1. All talents of the skill [Flame Ward] and itself will now exit the [Flame Ward] state when affected by Control effects.
2. Adjusted the rush action for [Flame Ward] and [Flame Ward: Ignition] to rush toward the aiming direction.
3. Adjustments to the attack moves of [Chain Scythe] after activating the Ultimate:
(1) Changed the Focus level for the second hit of Horizontal and Vertical Strikes from Golden Focus to Purple Focus.
(2) Increased gravity during Airborne Horizontal Strikes.
(3) The charged move [Chain Link: Suppress] can no longer knock enemies airborne.
4. Updated the skill description for the Ultimate [Chain Scythe: Afflict].
//Dev Notes: Zai's continuous Horizontal Strikes with [Chain Scythe] made it difficult for opponents to counter, and her Airborne Horizontal Strike mechanism granted her additional survivability and damage output. We have adjusted the performance of the [Chain Scythe] moves to address these issues. Additionally, Zai's ability to continue using [Flame Ward] even under Control effects made it challenging for Control-based Heroes to time their actions correctly when facing Zai. Thus, we have revised the interruption conditions to reduce Zai's margin for error.
VI. Wuchen
1. Optimized the placement of Yin Yang Orbs for Wuchen's Ultimates [Tai Chi Teleport] and [Tai Chi Teleport: Switch], as well as the selection of the aiming point for [Tai Chi Teleport: Portal], reducing potential issues and camera blocking to ensure accurate targeting.
Weapon Adjustments
I. General Adjustments for Melee Weapons
1. Added a grappling button buffer during the execution of the Uppercut Slash move.
//Dev Notes: Combining Uppercut Slash, grappling, and Blink Strike with the Katana or Uppercut Slash, grappling, and Decimator with Dual Halberds is fascinating gameplay. However, the use of the grappling hook mid-combo was leading to combo failures more than we would like due to timing issues. To address this, we have introduced a grappling button buffer during the execution of the Uppercut Slash move, ensuring that you can perform the combo without grappling prematurely. With this input buffer, we hope that more of you will be encouraged to explore and enjoy these combos.
II. Katana
1. Slightly reduced the stagger duration after hitting an enemy with the horizontal strike when sprinting.
III. Staff
1. Reduced the pursuing effects and camera turning of charged horizontal strikes.
2. Reduced the stagger duration when hitting enemies lying on the ground by Crouch+Horizontal Strike and Slide+Horizontal Strike.
IV. Spear
1. Reduced the stagger time when hitting enemies lying on the ground by Crouch+Horizontal Strike and Slide+Horizontal Strike.
V. Dual Blades
1. Slightly reduced the stagger duration after hitting an enemy with the charged Vertical Strike.
2. Charged Vertical Strike 1st stage damage multiplier: increased from 1.64*3 to 1.79*3.

2. Adjusted the damage multiplier of Brutal Tide from 2.12*2 to 1.27 + 2.97.
VIII. Polesword
1. Reduced the stagger duration when hitting enemies that have been lying on the ground with a Vertical Strike immediately after a Horizontal Strike.
2. Adjusted the damage multiplier of Brutal Tide from 2.12*2 to 1.27 + 2.97.

1. Charged Vertical Strike 1st stage damage multiplier: decreased from 0.89*6 to 0.87*6.

Dear players,
The servers of NARAKA: BLADEPOINT will be suspended for maintenance from May 31st, 2023 at 23:00 (UTC) to June 1st, 2023 at 03:00 (UTC). We suggest 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 Hero: Zai
Zai's life is defined by pain and struggle. After a prophecy warned she would bring about great calamity, her parents sold her to human traffickers.
She spent years in their hands before escaping to the Annica, an elite clan of assassins who recognized her potential for darkness and violence.
They trained her to be the ultimate killing machine, and though she was denied the vengeance she initially wanted, she's found the next best thing: destroying everything good and pure in the world.
The third skill and ultimate are not yet available in this version. Once available, you can complete heroes'Cultivation Quests to unlock them. If you've completed the required Cultivation Quests before upcoming updates, the skill and ultimate will be unlocked automatically.
II: New Feature: Spirit Well
Starting now, multiple Spirit Wells will spawn at the 240-second and 500-second marks in The Herald's Trial and BOT Mode. When you occupy one of them, you will receive an item that upgrades your main weapon or armor (excluding air-dropped weapons) to Epic quality.
III: New Quest: Valiant Challenge
In Quick Match, The Herald's Trial, and BOT Mode, a new Valiant Challenge Quest Scroll has been introduced. Accepting the quest initiates the Valiant Challenge, which reveals the player's location to all non-friendly players on the map and periodically scans for non-friendly players within a specific range. If the challenger survives within the designated time, they will be rewarded with a large number of Dark Tide Coins.
When a player accepts the Valiant Challenge quest, they become the challenger, and non-friendly players become opponents. Opponents can track the challenger on the map, and defeating the challenger yields considerable rewards. Even assisting in the defeat will earn some Dark Tide Coins.
IV. New Enigma Peak Levels in Showdown
In Showdown, when your sense level reaches 450, you can challenge the new Enigma Peak Levels, where 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, Thunder Essence, exclusive Hero Badge, Quench Crystal and so on.
V: Map Updates
1. Optimized and iterated the spawn point of Inn of the Dunes, and enhanced resource allocation.
VI. Limited-time Event: Unruly Blaze
Event Time: From June 1 Update to June 14, 2023 at 20:00 (UTC)

1. Complete daily quests to earn Ghoulish Lanterns and Soul Orders. Soul Orders can be redeemed for exclusive event rewards.
2. Ghoulish Lanterns are used to refresh Underworld Register for random quests. Complete the quests to earn Reckoning Treasures and more!
3. All players share the same Underworld Registers Quests and once you've completed one, it will not appear again.
Hero Adjustments
I. Justina Gu
Adjustments have been made to the Rage consumption of [Arctic Wraith] and [Arctic Wraith: Blizzard] as follows:
1. Activating the Ultimate will consume 40% Rage, and the remaining Rage will not gradually deplete over time. The duration of the Ultimate remains at 30 seconds.
2. Using [Shadowswipe] and [Shadowswipe: Blizzard] will consume Rage: 20%/30% in Solo and Duos, and 15%/30% in Trios.
3. If [Shadowswipe] hits 2 enemies at the same time, the next [Shadowswipe] will not consume Rage.
4. [Shadowswipe] and [Shadowswipe: Blizzard] will now have a 70% damage reduction effect.
//Dev Notes: The benefits that Justina gains after activating her Ultimate now solely depend on the player's performance with Shadowswipe. In the current environment, we believe that the previous Rage consumption was somewhat high, especially in Solos. After the adjustment, Shadowswipe will now consume Rage, thus limiting its synergy with the Souljade [Soul Release]. However, it gains more flexible endurance through [Rebirth Blossom Spirit].
II. Valda Cui
1. The duration of the [Nether Nightmare: Smite] Ultimate has been increased from 16 to 20 seconds, and the Protective Qi has been raised from 2000 to 2200.
2. The startup frames of the water spear in [Nether Nightmare: Smite] have been significantly reduced to optimize the throwing experience. The number of times the water spear can be thrown has been adjusted from 4 to 3. Immune time after being freed from the [Dragon's Coil] is increased to 4 sec.
//Dev Notes: Currently, Valda's V2 Ultimate has a short duration after activation, making it difficult to exert its intended pressure. The use count and hit experience of the water spear also fall short of expectations. Therefore, we have extended the duration of the V2 Ultimate and optimized the throwing experience of the water spear to make it easier to hit enemies.
III. Yueshan
1. [Rampage: Heaven's Descent] has been changed to [Rampage: Command]. This ability now attacks surrounding enemies and grants substantial health recovery, with a CD of 16 seconds.
2. The duration of the recovery frames for [Dragontail] has been slightly shortened.
//Dev Notes: Currently, Yueshan's V2 has limited utility and lacks effective recovery capabilities during combat. Therefore, we have made adjustments to V2's skills and effects to provide Yueshan with a means of health recovery.
IV. Viper Ning
1. The Recovery reduction effect of [Yushan Enigma: Enfeeble] now lasts for 7 seconds, down from 15, and its CD has been increased from 20 to 22 seconds.
//Dev Notes: Viper Ning's F3 currently triggers opponents to confront and seek healing opportunities after being hit. However, the 15-second healing ban significantly limits this strategy. Therefore, we have reduced the duration of the healing ban and will closely monitor its performance.
V. Akos Hu
1. The duration of the [Feral Frenzy] and [Feral Frenzy: Grab] Ultimates has been adjusted to 26 seconds in Solos, while it remains 35 seconds in Duos and Trios.
2. The duration of the recovery frames for the airborne vertical strikes performed during the tiger leap state has been increased.
3. The airborne horizontal strikes performed during the tiger leap state will no longer stagger targets under the effect of Ziping Yin's [Inspiration Shield].
4. With the Talent Skill [Roar: Terror], targets under the terror effect can now pre-input commands while in a controlled state.
//Dev Notes: Currently, Akos Hu can gain an advantage by utilizing a pounce attack after activating his Ultimate. While preserving the experience of his enhanced burst ability, we have adjusted the duration of Akos Hu's abilities in Solos to balance his combat effectiveness against other heroes.
[Roar: Terror] is intended to primarily serve as a tool for focus firing in team modes, but currently, it also provides a strong advantage in initiating combat in Solos. Allowing pre-input commands while under the terror effect will enable players to react promptly once the terror effect ends.
VI. Tarka Ji
1. The default duration for all of Tarka Ji's Ultimate talents will vary depending on the different game modes. [Blackout] and [Blackout: Vulcan] now last 24 seconds in Solos, while [Blackout: Frenzy] lasts for 20 seconds. The default durations of all Ultimate Talents in Duos and Trios remain unchanged.
2. The Rage recovery efficiency of [Blackout: Frenzy] has been reduced by 35%, and the Attack boost for both the player and teammates has been adjusted from 10% to 5%.
3. The Rage consumption of [Inner Fire] and [Inner Fire: Bide] while using [Blackout: Vulcan] has been reduced. The current Rage consumption for both abilities is now 20% across the board.
//Dev Notes: Currently, Tarka Ji's exceptional durability, extended invincibility frames, and stamina make him excel in terms of survival, mobility, and damage output, surpassing most other heroes. Therefore, while preserving his core gameplay, we have adjusted the duration of Tarka Ji's Ultimates across different modes and talents. This is to maintain a balanced combat pace and ensure fair matchups with other heroes.
Souljade Adjustments
I. Move Souljades
1. Reduced enemies'staggering time caused by Souljade [Stormstride] when they are knocked down on the ground.
Weapon Adjustments
I. Staff
1. Newly added Staff Souljade [Stanchion·Sky Pillar].
2. Newly added Staff Souljade [Ocean Parter].

In-game Adjustments
I. Shadow Corruption Pace Adjustment
We have made adjustments to the spreading pace of Shadow Corruption in Ranked Mode, Quick Match, and BOT Mode. The pace of the first 1-5 instances of Shadow Corruption has been accelerated, and a slight increase has been made to the size of the safe area after the first 1-3 instances of Shadow Corruption.
The Shadow Corruption pace for Duos and Trios has been adjusted as follows:
| No. | Interval (/s) | Duration (/s) | Safe Zone Area |
| --- | ------------- | ------------- | -------------- |
| 1 | 300 | 240 -> 210 | +16% |
| 2 | 210 -> 180 | 180 -> 150 | +20% |
| 3 | 195 -> 120 | 165 -> 90 | +13% |
| 4 | 90 -> 75 | 75 -> 60 | Unchanged |
| 5 | 75-60 | 60 -> 45 | Unchanged |
| 6 | 60 | 45 | Unchanged |
| 7 | 60 | 45 | Unchanged |
II. Features Optimization
1. The current scene's name is now displayed on the map.
III. Others
1. The duration of Vermillion Bird's Might has been reduced from 210 seconds to 180 seconds.
2. In response to the changes in the pacing of Shadow Corruption mentioned earlier, the refresh time of Morus'Blessing has been adjusted.

4. Optimized the timing of interrupting some Gestures.
Out-game Adjustments

1. The original Accessory's effect that changes the Skill Ultimate can now be freely equipped in the [Talents] tab under Collection. This allows you to select the appearance change for the corresponding Skill and Ultimate of the hero.
2. The corresponding Accessories must still be obtained to unlock Skills and Ultimates.
II. Hero Badge
Enigma Peak Hero Badge [Proficient Pathfinder] expanded the Extreme quality stage.
III. Animation Played when Previewing Outfits and Weapons

1. Akos Hu Legendary Outfit [Journey of Blades·Wukong].
2. Yueshan Legendary Outfit [Journey of Blades·Yang Jian].
3. Feria Shen Legendary Outfit [Journey of Blades·Purple Fairy].
Showdown Adjustments
I. Combat Adjustments
The invincibility duration during the spawn animation of Stone Monsters and Corpse Monsters in Immovable and Enigma Domain has been shortened.
II. Out-game Adjustments
A Sense grade prompt has been added to the loading screen in Showdown mode.
III. Enigma Domain Adjustments
1. Boss monsters in Enigma Domain will no longer generate individual drops. In Enigma Domain, players will receive different amounts of Showdown Souljade/Quench Crystal drops based on the number of bosses defeated.
2. Bosses in Enigma Domain will no longer be enhanced based on progress.
3. The battlefields of some boss encounters in Eventide Temple and Shadowjade Mine have been adjusted to be more level and even.
4. The spawn points of boss monsters near Lake Yellowleaf and Sunvale Dwelling in the Eventide Temple have been adjusted.
5. The number of strongholds in the northern part of the main area in Shadowjade Mine has been reduced.
IV. Hero Adjustments
1. Valda Cui
(1) After successfully using [Defuse Solve], the combo of horizontal strikes has been changed to [Dragonslayer].
(2) During the [Nezha] move, [Defuse Solve] can be released at any time by using vertical strikes. This change only applies to the [Showdown] mode and does not affect other modes.
(3) The damage multipliers of [Dragonslayer] + [Nezha's Might] have been adjusted from 4.26+0.85*2+1.25*2+1.63*2 to 1.41+0.42*2+0.53*2+0.69*2, and the Aegis-break damage multiplier has been adjusted from 1 to 7. The damage multiplier of [Heartstopper Kick] has also been adjusted from 5.02 to 1.88, and the Aegis-break damage multiplier has been adjusted from 1 to 7.
//Dev Notes: The Spear's unique move. [Nezha's Might] is rarely used in [Showdown] due to its long duration. Therefore, we hope to retain the weapon's distinctiveness while enhancing its versatility and maneuverability to offset the disadvantage of the move's lengthy duration. We have also shifted some of its damage to break Astral Aegis, in order to enhance its effectiveness when fighting with the Boss protected by Aegis.

Dear players,
The servers of NARAKA: BLADEPOINT will be suspended for maintenance from 04/26/2022 23:00 (UTC) to 04/27/2022 03:00 (UTC). We suggest you log out in advance and enter the game again after the maintenance.
The details for this update are as follows:
New Showdown chapter
I. New Boss: Omnius·Aureate
Challenge the Aureate form of Omnius in the Celestra of the Morus Isle, there are new levels and new stories await!
More than 10 new "Thunder Omens" have been added in the Hard and Nightmare modes.
II. New Hero: Yueshan
Overcome challenges in Showdown as the almighty general, with new "Counter" skill. Counterstrike combo will be enhanced when equipping with exclusive Souljade.
III. New Feature: Souljade Recast
Epic and Legendary Showdown Souljades can be recast by consuming another Showdown Souljade of the same quality. After recasting, the attributes of the new Souljade will be randomly selected and combined from the consumed ones, and the values will be random (affected by the original attribute). After recasting, you can choose to keep the original attributes or accept the new ones generated by the recast.
If the number of attributes in the newly created Souljade is less than 4, there is a chance to get an extra attribute and possibly yield an additional powerful rare attribute. Please refer to Narakapedia - Showdown - Buffs - Rare Attribute for further details.
//Dev Note: The attributes of the Showdown Souljades are a crucial part of the development in the Showdown. However, obtaining the desired attributes (and ideal values) through specific combinations of Souljdes has been overly random and difficult. Therefore, we have introduced the recast system to help players develop attributes in a more purposeful and enjoyable way.
IV. Huge selection of new Showdown Souljades
The new version offers over 30 new Showdown Souljades to collect and enrich your game.
New elemental attribute [Thunder-wielding]: The Thunder strikes of Omens or monsters can accumulate a 'ThunderShock'. When it reaches its maximum, it will trigger a Divine Thunder that can cause electric shock and stagger effects.
When equipped with a Thunder-wielding Souljade, ThunderShock accumulates at a slower rate and can trigger Divine Strikes to attack monsters.
V. Opening Hours
After this update, the Showdown will be open continuously from April 27th to May 7th (with no changes to daily opening hours). The weekend-only schedule will resume after May 7th.

Hero Adjustments
I. Akos Hu
1. Akos Hu is now immune to hit damage during the preparation stage of [Roar] before the shock takes effect. (Originally Akos Hu would get a 70% damage reduction.)
2. Reduced [Roar: Blast]'s CD from 28 sec to 22 sec.
3. Increased [Roar: Terror]'s CD from 20 sec to 25 sec. Slightly put off the time when Akos Hu can interrupt the shockwave and narrowed [Roar: Terror]'s effective range.
4. During the ultimates [Feral Frenzy] and [Feral Frenzy: Grab], Akos Hu will get a 30% damage reduction during Tiger Leap and a 70% reduction while launching Pounce Strikes.
5. Optimized the issue where [Feral Frenzy]'s tiger strikes would be blocked by low barriers.
6. The chain binding effect of [Feral Frenzy: Lockdown] will no longer restrict players' interaction with teleport mechanisms.
II. Valda Cui
1. Greatly reduced the startup frames of [Haze: Array]'s Tide Traps, changed the Skill's Focus to Golden, and adjusted its CD to 25 sec.
2. [Nether Nightmare: Smite] now has the following new effects:
Knocks back enemies and protects herself with Water Energy that lasts for 16 sec, during which she can launch water spear attacks repeatedly.
Tap the Skill button to throw water spears with a binding effect to trap enemies with [Dragon's Coil] at a low height for 2 sec.
Hold the Skill button to aim.
Enemies hit by water spears will be inflicted with the [Soaked] effect. Bound enemies will get off the control after being attacked and get immune to [Dragon's Coil] for 3 sec.
Enemies with Ultimate Focus can't be bound.
[Soaked]: Decreases enemies' Attack by 5% for 10 sec, and immediately triggers all remaining [Burn] damage (Maximum 400).
3. After being bound by the Tide Traps of [Haze] and all its derived Skills, enemies will get immune to Bind for 2.5 sec.
//Dev Notes: Valda Cui's [Haze: Array] was hard to play a part in combats for various reasons. Therefore, we have lowered its threshold to ensure it can produce stable effects. So, we have redesigned [Nether Nightmare: Smite] to make Valda Cui's combat skills more flexible.
4. The protection of [Nether Nightmare] and all its derived ultimates will no longer decay over time. Now it has a fixed duration for different skills:
(1) The protection of [Nether Nightmare] can last for 15 sec at most;
(2) The protection of [Nether Nightmare: Bind] can last for 12 sec at most.
5. Removed Valda Cui's performance of being teleported in the air during [Nether Nightmare] and [Nether Nightmare: Bind].
6. Reduced [Haze]'s CD from 15 sec to 18 sec.
III. Viper Ning
1. Adjusted the Defense Focus of [Yushan Enigma: Lockdown] from Blue to Golden.
2. Adjusted the related performance of [Yushan Enigma: Enfeeble]:
(1) Upgraded the Focus level of [Yushan Enigma: Enfeeble], from interrupting common attacks to interrupting golden Focus strikes.
(2) Increased the Damage Multiplier of from 1.0 to 3.5 and the hit effect has been changed to knock airborne.
(3) Increased CD from 15 sec to 20 sec.
IV. Kurumi
Now Kurumi can cast [Sacred Circle: Rapid Healing] when attacked.

Increased the Attack Focus of Vajra skills under all Ultimate Talents. Now it can interrupt golden Focus strikes instead of common attacks.
VI. Tarka Ji
Now after Tarka Ji casts his ultimate, he will perform a 1st stage dodge after getting up from the ground.
//Dev Notes: There were inconsistencies in the rules governing Tarka Ji's actions when he got up after being knocked down, which occasionally resulted in unexpected performance. Therefore, we have standardized the rules for getting up to ensure that both Tarka Ji and his enemies can understand the moves more precisely.
Weapon Adjustments
I. General Adjustments
1. Slightly advanced the interruptible time point for all weapon repairment.
2. Slightly put off the timing for dodge after switching weapons in mid-air.

III. Spear
1. Slightly adjusted the hit performance of horizontal strikes and the 2nd vertical strikes to airborne objectives, to chain the strikes of the two stages more smoothly.
2. Slightly shortened the startup frames of [Dragonslayer].
3. Increased the Damage Multiplier of [Dragonslayer] from 2.51 to 3.53; Reduced the Damage Multiplier of [Nezha] from 4.64 to 3.62.
//Dev Notes: The Spear's precise charged strikes and follow-up combos are often affected by complications in the battlefield, resulting in unstable effects. We have therefore adjusted the damage distribution of the moves to increase the efficiency of the its output.
IV. Staff
1. Slightly adjusted the hit performance of horizontal strikes and the 2nd stage vertical strikes to airborne objectives, to chain the strikes of the two stages more smoothly.
2. Added the absorption effect to [Heaven Uproar].

1. Increased the drop probability of high-quality Souljades and proportion of Legendary Showdown Souljades in non-Enigma Domain stages of Showdown.
2. Lowered the drop probability of high-quality Souljades in Enigma Domain stages of Showdown.
//Dev Notes: There was a far higher drop probability of high-quality Souljade in Enigma Domain than in other stages, which means that it was extremely hard for players who preferred non-Enigma Domain stages to get high-quality Souljades. Therefore, we have balanced the drop probability for two types of stages to improve players' gaming experience.

Dear players,
The servers of NARAKA: BLADEPOINT will be suspended for maintenance from Mar 29th, 2023 at 23:00 (UTC) to Mar 30th, 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:
Brand-new content!
I. Limited-time Event: Illume Project 2674
Event time: Mar 30th, 2023 - Apr 26th, 2023 at 20:00 (UTC)

2. Gather Energy Cube to receive loads of event rewards, and unlock the plots in Illume Project 2674 event.

Hero Adjustments

3. Adjusted the airborne Horizontal Strike during a Tiger Leap. It can now interrupt the attack of enemies under Tiger Leap status.
4. Increased the effective range of the 3 consecutive tiger strikes under the ultimate [Feral Frenzy].
5. Purple Focus Pounce will no longer trigger the Stone Form of Greatsword.
//Dev Note: Before the adjustment, Akos Hu had to sprint to Tiger Jump, and a Double Jump would cancel it, resulting in great restrictions on Akos Hu's actions during combat. We want to free him from these restrictions so that he can unleash the true power of "The Rebel Claw." We will continue to monitor the combat experience of Akos Hu and his opponents.
II. Justina Gu
1. Increased the duration of [Arctic Wraith] and [Arctic Wraith: Blizzard] from 20s to 30s.

III. Wuchen
1. After casting [Tai Chi Rift], the special effect of a successful Teleport is enlarged in height.
//Dev Note: Currently, Wuchen's Ultimate [Tai Chi Rift] brings a high fault tolerance to the team, which becomes more important in matches that require higher ranks. This has led to a slow combat pace and a long confrontation time. So we adjusted that when Wuchen casts [Tai Chi Rift] in some flat terrain, it becomes more visible to the enemy teams, thus accelerating the combat pace.
IV. Valda Cui
1. The water spear of [Nether Nightmare] and the Vertical Strike water spear of [Nether Nightmare: Bind] can now hitstun Vajra, Almighty General, and Bronze Mech in any status, in which:
(1) The water spear of [Nether Nightmare] will put the enemy into a heavy staggered status.

Group 5: Ballista and cannon shoot of Feria Shen's Bronze Mech;

1. In the scenes of The Bloodbath, Troves will be automatically removed if no one picks them up within 2 minutes.

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%.

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.

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.

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.

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.
4. Now, in the Enigma Domain, Scout Bells will be placed instead of Nether Bells. And the number of Scout Bells is greatly increased.
5. Optimized the animation of disappearing the monsters when time’s up.
Ⅳ. Souljade Adjustments
1. Cavalry Bloom·Ice-wielding
Damage Multiplier: adjusted from 6.06 to 6.49

9. Frost Cannon
Increased the Cannon's Frostbite Damage Multiplier by 16%.
//Dev note: In the current version, the Souljades of some ranged weapons are too strong to break the Astral Aegis, so we have made a balance adjustment accordingly. At the same time, the overall ranged weapon damage has been appropriately increased by adjusting the damage reduction multiplier of the Weaponry Chest Boon.
We hope you will understand and support this adjustment, and a certain number of Souljades Gifts will also be delivered after this update.
V. Hero Adjustments
1. Temulch
Reduced talents' and scattering arrows' Damage Multipliers of breaking Astral Aegis by 30%.
2. Tianhai
1) Optimized the Counterstrike Combo’s move and attack range after Tianhai transforms into Vajra so that it’s more convenient for him to hit the enemy.
2) Now, the boss monster will take Tianhai in Vajra form as their prior target.
3) Increased the Damage Multipliers of Vajra's ranged grab from 0.35 to 1.
VI. Animation Adjustments
Added an animation of gathering uncollected Souljades into the player’s bag when settling.
In-game Adjustments
Ⅰ. Combat Adjustments

Dear players,
The servers of NARAKA: BLADEPOINT will be suspended for maintenance from Feb 1st, 2023 at 23:00 (UTC) to Feb 2nd, 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:
Brand-new content!
I. A New Episode of Showdown
1. New Level: Gelid Yushan
Among the mist around Yushan Snowy Peaks, countless heroes had gambled their lives for that ancient artifact.
It's time to meet this new boss, the Matron of Yushan, on the top of Yushan Ruins.
2. New Hero Joined: Tianhai
This humble monk transforms into a colossal Vajra warrior, all those who stand in his path shall fall.
In Showdown, Tianhai has a new ability to "Counter" after transforming into Vajra. The Counterstrike combo is enhanced when equipped with the exclusive Souljade that enhances the ultimate, and the Boss is staggered for a longer period.
3. New Mode: Enigma Domain
In the game of Enigma Domain, monsters grow stronger over time. Before time runs out, the more monsters you defeat, the more rewards you will win.
Come and explore the Enigma Domain, there are loads of new Souljades await!
4. New Type of Omens: Frostbite Omens
Affected by Matron of Yushan, many Omens turn into [Frostbite Omens] which accumulate heroes' Frostbite. When Frostbite reaches a certain amount, the hero will be frozen.
Equipping Souljades with [Ice-wielding] attribute can help to resist the effect brought by Frostbite Omens.
5. Showdown Souljade: Ice-wielding
In the new updates, there's a chance to get Souljade with [Ice-wielding] attribute in all Showdown levels. Meanwhile, [Ice Essence] can be obtained by completing weekly challenges. [Ice Essence] can imbue [Ice-wielding] to the those Souljades without this attribute.
Attacking monsters with [Ice-wielding] Souljades can accumulate Frostbite of the monsters. When Frostbite reaches a certain amount, ice blast will be triggered and cause damage to monsters' Astral Aegis.
Each [Ice-wielding] Souljade you equip increases you [Ice-wielding] by 1.
Higher levels of [Ice-wielding] deals more damage to Astral Aegis and can better resist Frostbite Omens.
6. Showdown Souljade
In the updates, 30 new Showdown Souljades are now available, which include:
(1) 7 Ice Souljades of melee weapon, 6 of ranged weapon an 4 of other special effect.
(2) Exclusive Souljades that enhance Tianhai, Temulch and Matari's ultimates.
(3) Defuse·Dash(Counterattack) & (Concentrate), Defuse·Combo(Counterattack) & (Concentrate).
(4) 5 Souljades that enhance ranged attack and Weaponry Chest Boon.
II. Feria Shen's new skill [Gunplay: Aim] and ultimate [Mech Mayhem: Co-pilot] are now available
[Gunplay: Aim]
Leap backward and raise the gun, aim and shoot with high damage and mark enemies with [Silence] for 3 sec.
Move the crosshair while using this skill to adjust the leap direction.
[Mech Mayhem: Co-pilot]
Set a beacon at the target point and knock nearby enemies airborne.
Feria and allies can pilot [Bronze Mech] by interacting with the beacon.
Compared to ultimate [Mech Mayhem], the [Bronze Mech] summoned by beacon has lower Health. When shooting enemies, it deals higher damage and builds Energy faster (but its own Energy recovery speed is slower).
III. Adjustments to Holoroth Map
1. Adjustments to the route of Temple of Light and Shadow:
(1) Added two more entrances with direct access to the inner hall at the front of the right wing.

II. Tarka Ji
1. Increased the Energy cost of the second-stage dodge (elbow strike) from 67% to 83% of the normal dodge's energy cost when Tarka Ji casts his ultimate [Blackout] and all of his talents.
2. Adjusted the attack range of the 2nd stage dodge (elbow strike) under his ultimates. Taka Ji can no longer hit enemies on the ground in flat terrain.
//Dev Note: Tarka Ji's elbow strike, which has a low Energy cost, gives him the upper hand in a 1v1 battle. Enemies knocked down have no countermeasures against Taka Ji's elbow strike. Therefore, we adjusted the energy cost and attack range of Tarka Ji's elbow strike so his enemies could counter him.
Weapon Adjustments
I. General Adjustments for Ranged Weapons
Optimized the sound effects of Musket and Pistol.
II. Staff
1. Adjusted the Focus of the second strike of [Heaven Uproar] to Golden.

3. Increased the airborne Vertical Strike Damage Multiplier from 1.56+0.15 to 1.73+0.17.
//Dev Note: Compared with other weapons, Dagger possesses more combat options. Thus we've made this adjustment for other weapons to make it less difficult to confront Dagger, and increased the airborne Vertical Strike Damage for the Dagger.
Souljade Adjustment
I. Longsword Souljade
Reduced the stagger time of both players after [Hepta-Detach] hits.

4. Adjusted the rules for generating high Sense level Souljades in the weekly rewards of Showdown based on max Sense level.
5. Increased the Sense level range of the Showdown Souljades that dropped in Hard and Nightscream levels in The Morus Isle. The upgrade speed of Hero Sense thus will be accelerated by playing in these levels.

Eliminating opponents weigh higher on the score settlement gradually as you improve your rank, while the other combat actions will gradually weigh lower. (Slight effect on players ranking Solar and Empyrean. Great effect on players ranking Astral and Asura)
//Dev Note: In the Clash League, we tried to use the number of eliminating opponents (Elimination: Cairn of the enemy you defeated runs out of Health.) instead of other combat actions as the basis for calculating scores to prevent players from win-trading and it worked well. So, we decided to introduce this set of rules into The Herald's Trial mode.

I. Kurumi
The Damage Reduction provided when cutting the link of skill [Binding Prayer: Guard] has been adjusted from "99% for 2.5 sec" to "90% for 4 sec".
II. Valda Cui
Adjustments to [Nether Nightmare]'s oceanic energy: now the oceanic energy will uplift Valda Cui and offer a chance of water spear attack whether it hits an enemy or not. Besides, the water spear can also interrupt [Blackout].
//Dev Note: In combat, once Valda Cui's ultimate misses its target, players will suffer a great loss because of the Rage consumption rule of her V1 and skill characteristics. So we improved the lower limit of the ultimate's effect.

Weapon Adjustments

Appropriately increase the duration of the Focus when charging Horizontal Strike on spot, and the Focus status ends when you move.
II. Staff
Slightly decrease the startup frames of Counterstrike.
Souljade Adjustments
I. Spring Festival Souljades
Special Souljades for Spring Festival, [Spring Festival·Firework] and [Spring Festival·Firecracker] are added in Quick Match, Shadow Surge, Through the Fire, Omni's Nightmare and BOT Mode.
Combat Adjustments
I. Adjustments to Calculation of Damage Reduction:
Now according to different sources, damage reductions are divided into [Item Damage Reduction], [Ultimate Skill Damage Reduction], [Talent Skill Damage Reduction] and [Weapon Damage Reduction]. Reductions from the same sources are added up with an upper limit of 90%, while those from different sources are multiplied. After the updates, the final damage reduction by multiplying will be slightly reduced. But damage reduction of a single kind remains unchanged.
For example: when Justina Gu casts [Ice Core], she has 70% [Talent Skill Damage Reduction] during the preparation stage. If her teammate Yueshan casts Formation Roar as Almighty General, all team members will get the [Immovable] effect that grants 35% [Talent Skill Damage Reduction]. Now with Justina Gu's 70% [Talent Skill Damage Reduction], her final damage reduction is 90% because the sum of the two effects exceeds the upper limit of 90%. Thus Justina Gu only takes 10% of the original damage.
If Justina Gu has the 10% [In-game Item Damage Reduction] from [Salak] simultaneously, the final damage she will take is: (1-90%) * (1-10%) = 9%.
II. Adjustments to Calculation of Damage Bonus:
Now all damage bonuses are added up. After the updates, the final damage bonus by multiplying is slightly reduced. But damage bonus of a single kind remains unchanged.
For example: in Showdown, players will get 50% damage bonus after triggering [Desperation]'s 30% and [Outrage]'s 20% at the same time.
Showdown Adjustments
I. Combat Adjustments
Reduced the performance of [Omnius·Hell Scorch] and [Omnius·Rock]'s strikes when blocking ranged attacks.
II. Stage Adjustments
1. Reorganized the yield of Showdown Souljades in Omnius boss stages. Now even though players fail to defeat the boss, they still can get part of Showdown Souljades by opening chests after defeating the Omnius in each stage.
2. Adjustments to Summon Stone in Desert Tribulations: now it can directly revive teammates in the Cairn state and teleport them to the battlefield of Stone Monster.
3. [Niter Jade] now will automatically respawn 30s after being used and become available again.
III. Attribute Adjustments
"Charged Attack Damage Bonus" and "Non-charged Attack Damage Bonus" are changed to "Apart from the original melee Charged and Non-charged attack damage bonus, it also takes effect on ranged weapons' Charged and Non-charged attack."

I. Tutorial Optimizations
1. Controls Guide Updates: we've modified the procedures and quests in the tutorial, and added some storylines related to the game worldview.

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.

//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.

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.
III. Viper Ning
Optimized enemy animation of taking damage when [Stunned].
Weapon Adjustments
I. Dual Blades
Optimized charging animation for Dual Blades when moving.
II. Bow
1. Increased speed of bow shots for different charging states.

Charged strike First-stage Damage Multiplier: adjusted from 4.05 to 3.1;
Charged strike Second-stage Damage Multiplier: adjusted from 5.5 to 4.2.
III. Musket
1. Increased speed of Musket shots for different states, including equipping Sunwing Shot.
2. Musket's Damage Multiplier has been reduced from 2.4 to 2.15.
Ⅳ. Pistol
1. Increased speed of Pistol shots for different charging states.
2. Increased hit range of Pistol shots.
3. Adjustments to Damage Multipliers:
Pistol's horizontal strike Damage Multiplier: adjusted from 0.4 to 0.32;
Pistol's charged strike Damage Multiplier: adjusted from 0.84 to 0.68.
V. Cannon
1. Canceled explosion range damage decay. The adjustments include:
Central explosion Damage Multiplier: adjusted from 3 to 2.15;
Middle Circle explosion Damage Multiplier: adjusted from 2.25 to 2.15;

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.

Autumn flows on like surging waves, as warriors slice through foes like willow leaves dancing upon water.
The new weapon Dual Blades will be available. Come and try it out for yourself!
II. Omni's Nightmare is back once again.
1. Choose your Faction
You can choose your preferred Faction before each match, influencing who is assigned to each side.
2. In-game Content
1) Spirit Echoes: Heroes can now gain up to two passive buffs in the form of Spirit Echoes. These include 'Golden Rattan', 'Light's Rage', 'Lethal Armor', 'Copper Ward', 'Explosive Shot' and 'Beckon'. Evil-Ents may choose two from 'Hook Axe', 'Enrage', 'Split Axe', 'Eagle Vision', 'Miasma Rattan' and 'Eternal' to replace their default skills, ultimates or moves. (Check the Narakapedia for details.)
2) Check Faction info for the current match and allocate your Spirit Echoes during preparation.
3) Rattan is found around the map, but only grows near Soul Lanterns. Evil-Ents can damage Soul Lanterns to remove the Rattan, yet heroes can repair the Soul Lanterns in turn, allowing Rattan to respawn once more. Once all Rattan near Soul Lanterns have been taken, some respawn every 4 sec (or immediately when a Soul Lantern is repaired) until the respawn cap is reached.
4) Heroes now have gold Focus during the last second they submit Rattan.
5) Soul Lanterns can be repaired by multiple players at once, speeding up their repairs.
6) Ballista spawn at random spots along the tracks. Heroes must spend 10,000 Dark Tide Coins to unlock them before they can be used, however.
7) Once the match has been underway for a set time, heroes will no longer be able to Rebirth. However, Evil-Ents will also drop more Rattan when defeated.
8) The 'Nearby chat' voice channel has now been replaced with 'Faction chat'. Team chat has been added for those players who join the match as a party. Toggle Open Mic or switch voice channels in Settings - Audio.
9) Improved the sorting of Rift Dealers' items.
10) Improved the balance between Heroes and Evil-Ents in Omni's Nightmare:
i. Lowered Evil-Ents' base attack, while increasing their attack gained with each level.
ii. Changed randomly-spawned Soul Sparks' initial progress to 34%
iii. Now 2 Rattans will be dropped when Heroes defeat the Evil-Ents. When Heroes’ Rebirths have been deducted, the dropping amount will be 5.
3. Game Settlement
1) Once the match ends, you're shown a settlement page including the winning faction's top 3 players.
2)The match stats interface has been completely overhauled: it now includes the heroes selected, specific mode achievements, and more.
III. New Event: [Double-Edged]
Event Time: 06/22/2022 update – 07/01/2022 20: 00 (UTC)
Event Rules:
Gain Whetstones by completing quests during the event. Whetstones can be redeemed for great event rewards.
IV. New Event [Sunwing Solstice]
The world bristles with Yang energies as the Summer Solstice arrives.
It's unknown when it first appeared, but out on Morus Isle, there stands a Solstice Altar.
A most peculiar sensation, as if one's inner Yang energies were reaching out toward the altar, overcame all heroes who approached its location.
And once the Solstice Altar was activated, Plumes were found scattered across Morus Isle.
The people came to realize that, once taken to Sunwing's Rest, these Plumes were absorbed into the air around them. Not only that, however. Sunwing's Rest itself began to change slowly as it absorbed them...
Event Time: 06/28/2022 20: 00 (UTC) – 07/13/2022 20: 00 (UTC)
Event Rules:
1. Gain [Plumes] and [Event Points] by completing quests during the event.
2. During match preparation stages, players must gather their efforts to activate the altar upon the center of Origin Island. Having done so, they'll receive [Plumes] upon opening gold or green Troves. Up to 10 [Plumes] can be obtained from matches per day (this excludes those from Omni's Nightmare and Bloodsport).
3. Submit Plumes to gain event points. You gain 10 points for each.
4. A [Summer Solstice Gift] is awarded for every 20 [Plumes] submitted.
5. Event rewards are granted once players reach a set score total. The point maximum is 3,000, granting all event rewards once reached.
6. Every [Plume] submitted increases the Total Points figure by 1, and once it reaches its maximum, all players will be rewarded 1 [Fortune Treasure].
*Note: Remember to claim your rewards before the event ends, or you'll miss out.
V. Map Updates
The winds of change continue to blow, and dark undercurrents sweep Sunwing's Rest.
Hero Adjustments
//Dev Note: In the month-and-a-bit since the Ordeal season began, we've been hard at work analyzing NARAKA's ever-growing game data. We've also received loads of great player feedback—thanks again for your continued support!
Our analysis showed us that the hero skills and ultimates are dealing more damage in battle than we'd anticipated, meaning combat would often be over in a flash. We don't want teams wiped out just because a player unleashed their skill/ultimate at an inopportune time. Yet simultaneously, we don't want players' hard work and advantages to be for nothing just because we've changed up a strategy.
With this in mind, we've adjusted skill and ultimate damage for most heroes. We hope this will serve to improve the strategic environment in-game, and also that it'll give rise to new and exciting lineups and battle strategies too.
Ⅰ. Yoto Hime
1. Adjusted her ultimate [Ominous Blade] and all its variations. The basic Damage Multiplier of its slashes was reduced from 4.5 to 2.6 for the 1st slash, 3.2 for the 2nd slash, and 3.8 for the 3rd slash.
2. Adjusted extra slashes of her ultimate [Ominous Blade: Combo]. The Damage Multiplier was reduced from 2.25 to 1.6.
//Dev Note: After recent adjustments to the mechanism of Yoto Hime's ultimate, the hit rate of its slashes has been improved. To balance the Hero, we adjusted the Damage Multiplier slightly.
Ⅱ. Matari
1. Increased the single moving distance of her Skill [Silent Flutter: Rapid Flash] from 6m to 9m.
2. Added a new mechanism to her ultimate [Unseen Wings] and all its Talents. Now when Matari is in stealth, [Silent Flutter]'s CD will be reduced and the moving distance will be increased and be with the [Backstab] status.
[Backstab]: An enemy within the range of [Silent Flutter] in front of Matari will be locked. When the enemy is locked, Matari can use [Silent Flutter] to teleport to the target's back and launch a special attack.
3. Reduced max rage needed to cast her ultimate [Unseen Wings] and all its variations by 20%.
//Dev Note: Before these adjustments, Matari's ultimate [Unseen Wings] could increase her fighting capacity in open battles only to a limited extent without effective deterrence. Therefore, we added the [Backstab] mechanism to improve her offensive capability and give her a competitive edge after casting the ultimate.
III. Takeda Nobutada
1. [Demonic Strike]’s base Damage Multiplier during [Demonic Aid] has been reduced from 0.5*2 to 0.4*2, and [Airborne Strike] base Damage Multiplier reduced from 1*2 + 1.5 to 0.5*2 + 1.5.

3) [Demonic Aid: Teleport] attacks now restore the attacker's health by 30% of the damage dealt.
IV. Tianhai
1. Tianhai's ultimate [Titan's Call] and all its variations' base Damage Multiplier have been changed.
1) Skills' base Damage Multiplier (when Tianhai hasn't grabbed an enemy) has been reduced from 4.28 to 3.75.
2) Skills' base Damage Multiplier (when Tianhai's got a single enemy in his grasp) has been reduced from 4.28 to 3.75.
3) Skills' base Damage Multiplier (when Tianhai's got two enemies in his grasp) has been reduced from 12.5 to 10.
2. Tianhai's ultimate [Titan's Call] and all its variations’ base Health and Armor Conversion Multiplier have been changed.
1) In Solos, Tianhai's base Health while in Vajra form has been increased from 1,900 to 2,300 and his Armor Conversion Multiplier from 0.6 to 0.8.
2) In Duos, Tianhai's Armor Conversion Multiplier while in Vajra form has been increased from 0.8 to 0.9.
V. Yueshan
Yueshan's ultimate [Troop Decimation] and all its variations' base Damage Multiplier have been changed.
1. [Leaping Slash] 's base Damage Multiplier has been reduced from 0.34 + 1.66 * 2 to 0.26 + 1.29 * 2.
2. [Dragontail] 's base Damage Multiplier has been reduced from 7.34 to 6.52.
VI. Valda Cui

II. Map Updates
There's something off in the Sunwing's Rest recently. Check it out now!
Hero Adjustments
I. Justina Gu
1. Justina Gu no longer gains rage when ice fog is active after casting ultimate [Arctic Wraith·Frostwind].
//Dev Note: Justina Gu casts [Arctic Wraith·Frostwind] more frequently than expected during a long-lasting battle, so we have limited her rage gains within some time after casting the ultimate.
2. Adjusted the initial skill [Ice Core]. It no longer negates physical strikes during the startup frames (0-1s), but Justina Gu gains a 70% damage reduction. After the startup frames, Justina Gu's physical immunity will resume. Other features of [Ice Core], such as active interruption, focus, restoration, etc., have not been adjusted.
//Dev Note: [Ice Core] used to have restoration capability and 5-sec physical immunity—way too overwhelming than the other two skills. The long duration of immunity can leave the opponent in an awkward predicament. Therefore, we have shortened the duration and granted damage reduction to Justina Gu to improve the combat experience for both parties.
II. Yueshan
1. Slightly adjusted Yueshan's startup frames (increased from 0.7s to 1.1s) when casting the ultimate.
//Dev Note: Even with extremely low remaining HP after taking heavy damage, Yueshan may still cast the ultimate, perform the transformation, and fully restore HP, which can be quite frustrating for the opponent. Also, Yueshan's transformation startup frames are way shorter than Tianhai's. As a result, we have increased Yueshan's transformation startup frames by 0.4s.
III. Wuchen
1. Adjusted the Focus level during the charging stage from golden to blue for [Spirit Blades] and [Spirit Blades·Shield].
//Dev Note: The maximum charging time of Wuchen's skills is relatively long. With golden focus, Wuchen can gain a huge advantage. Therefore, we adjusted the focus level to clarify these skills' roles.
2. Reduced Wuchen and allies' damage reduction from 90% to 70% when Wuchen uses ultimate [Tai Chi Rift] to teleport allies.
3. Increased the required rage limit by 25% (to be the same as most heroes) for unleashing ultimates [Tai Chi Rift] and [Tai Chi Rift·Switch].
//Dev Note: After casting [Tai Chi Rift], Wuchen recovers its rage a bit too fast. Therefore, we have raised the rage limit to slightly slow down his ultimate’s pace.
IV. Tianhai
1. Adjusted the counter rage of [The Divine Bell: Counter] from 0-0.7s to 0-1s. In another word, Tianhai can now counter during the whole process of casting [The Divine Bell: Counter]. A successful counter can be immediately followed by a Counterstrike Combo.
2. Tianhai can now cancel the Divine Bell by dodging, jumping, or crouching within 0.4s after casting [The Divine Bell: Counter] and [The Divine Bell: Blast]. And the clash stagger time has been extended from 0.8s to 1.1s.
3. [The Divine Bell: Blast] can now knock away enemies that are using a golden focus (weapon moves).
V. Viper Ning
1. Ultimate [Twilight Crimson: Unchained]'s ending strike can no longer be negated by dodging.
VI. Takeda
1. Increased the range of the first hit after the grab in [Mythic Grab] and [Mythic Grab·Defend] slightly, and they can now interrupt enemies in blue Focus.
2. [Mythic Grab] and [Mythic Grab·Defend] are no longer interruptable by weapon moves while Wuchen is grabbing a blade. Also, Takeda can perform assault moves more conveniently now after a grab.
3. Increased the catch range of [Mythic Grab·Defend].
4. Optimized the aiming performance by adding an aiming window to [Demonic Aid: Teleport] to show the aiming lock-on area.
5. Increased [Demonic Aid: Teleport]'s maximum aiming distance from 20m to 25m. Improved its strike range.
6. [Demonic Aid: Teleport]'s damage resistance of ultimate Focus will last till the final slash. And it won't be interrupted by wind pressure.
VII. Other Adjustments
1. Adjusted the duration of all heroes' ultimate canceling (holding) to 0.25s.
Weapon Adjustments
Ⅰ. Adjusted Damage Multiplier in Unarmed Status:
Vertical strike 1st stage Damage Multiplier: adjusted from 2.79 to 1.13
Horizontal strike 1st stage Damage Multiplier: adjusted from 2.32 to 1.12
Airborne Vertical strike stage Damage Multiplier: adjusted from 2.58 to 1.88
Sprint Horizontal strike Damage Multiplier: adjusted from 2.54 to 1.10
Crouch Horizontal strike Damage Multiplier: adjusted from 2.81 to 1.56
Sprint Vertical strike Damage Multiplier: adjusted from 2.07 to 1.13
II. Longsword
Added the second-stage to the charged attack.
Ⅲ. Greatsword
Optimized the range of the slide horizontal strike.
IV. Dagger
1. Slightly reduced startup frames and increased strike range for charged horizontal strike [Uppercut Rush].
2. Canceled Dagger Dash golden focus. Adjusted the invincible duration of Dagger Dash to the same as the dodge while using other weapons.
//Dev Note: Since the time of the golden Focus and the invincibility time of the Dagger Dash completely overlap, the golden Focus is actually not needed during the invincibility period. After the golden Focus is removed, the information expression will be more accurate.
3. Dagger Dash can no longer pass through the Tide Traps generated by [Haze].
Souljade Adjustments
I. Dagger
Added the Dagger Skill [Pride's Fall]: Added the second-stage move to Daggers' charged horizontal strike. And the final hit can recover yourself (65% of the damage values)
II. Ranged
Added [Switch·Dazzle]: Switching to a ranged weapon while carrying out a melee attack unleashes a special move (Morus' Blessing weapons excluded). The drop of [Switch·Bow] and [Switch·Cannon] will be paused. Their effects have been merged into the new souljade [Switch·Dazzle].
III. Special Souljade
While being attacked by [Starfall], you can no longer use Grappling Hooks. And the special camera will no longer be triggered.
IV. Souljade Performance
Optimized the notification effects for the completion of charging for Katana technique [Soul Slash], Greatsword technique [Earthshaker], and Nunchucks technique [Dragon Roar].
Match Adjustments
I. Controller Adjustments
1. Optimized the target-switching and lock-on canceling mechanic when the controller is in the lock-on status.
1) When locking on a target, push the right stick to switch target immediately.
2) If the right stick is pushed toward where there are no targets, the lock-on status will remain unchanged. Press the lock-on button again to cancel the lock-on.
2. Optimized map cursor interactions.
1) Optimized the absorption performance when moving the map cursor.
2) Optimized the cursor performance when moved to the edge of the zoomed map.
3. Optimized the order of preset controller settings.
1) The [Default] controller preset will now be renamed to [Classic]. The button layout preset remains unchanged.
2) Previous preset order: [Default], [Shooter], [Warrior], [Swordsman], [Custom]. New order: [Warrior], [Classic], [Swordsman], [Warrior], [Custom]. (This change to the preset order won't change saved button layout presets.)
II. Environment Adjustments
Added a number of Fireflies to the hidden cave.
III. Mechanism Adjustments
Shortened the cooldown for the mechanism in Forbidden Seals from 180s to 90s.

4. [Aim Assist + Camera Shift] is selected by default. This can be changed or turned off via ESC - Settings - Game - Combat - Melee Aim Assist (Controller).
IV. Counter - Composite Buttons
1. Added [Counter - Composite Buttons] Toggle to Settings - Game - Combat. You can turn on or turn off the Composite Buttons for Counter.
Feature Optimization
I. Shader Warmup
After the update, the shader warmup will perform automatically when entering the Lobby.
Shader rendition during the game may extend loading time, take up more CPU usage, and result in noticeable game stuttering within the first few matches after the update. Shader warmup technologies bring this process forward to the login stage, which can significantly reduce stuttering and improve the gaming experience.
Notifications:
1. Warmup is performed only once after each update, which will bring better gaming experience.

Hero Adjustments
Ⅰ. Yoto Hime
Adjustments to her ultimate [Ominous Blade] and all its variants:
1. Changed the fixed horizontal direction of slashes of Yoto Hime's ultimate Talents to the free aiming direction.
2. Players now are able to control the pace of Yoto Hime's consecutive slashes. Before every slash, Yoto Hime will adjust her mid-air status, during which you could press right mouse button to slash immediately. Otherwise she would slash automatically after the adjustment.
3. After casting her ultimate, Yoto Hime will first go into the [Demon Incarnate] status lasting for up to 3 sec, during which she is immune to grab and movement-restricted skills such as [Zephyr Prison] and [Dragon's Coil], etc. Slash can break the status at once.
//Dev Note: Because of the fixed pace and direction of slashes, Yoto Hime's ultimate [Ominous Blade] could be easily evaded by enemies through Dodge or the use of terrain differences to avoid the damage, which resulted in lower practical and deterrent effects of the ultimate than expected. Through the adjustments, players can now slash in free directions and control the pace after casting it, which will press the opponents more in confrontation.
II. Wuchen
1. Reduced the armor restored by every attack of [Spirit Blades·Shield] from 200 to 160.
2. Changed the teleport effect of his ultimate [Tai Chi Rift·Switch] to: Teleport up to 3 enemy units closest to the Aim center simultaneously. When multiple units are teleported, enemies will be separated. The stagger time of enemies after being teleported reduced from 0.5 sec to 0.35 sec. The invulnerability time of Wuchen and enemies after being teleported lengthened slightly.
3. Increased the damage that his ultimate [Tai Chi Rift·Portal] can take by 300% in Trios mode and 200% in duo mode.
//Dev Note: With the improvement of hero proficiency and teamwork, Wuchen's ultimate [Tai Chi Rift·Switch] was excessively powerful. After the adjustments, members of Wuchen team with this ultimate Talents need to cooperate more effectively and cast it at the right time.
Ⅲ. Tianhai
Changed the Focus level of [The Divine Bell: Counter]'s recovery frame from Blue Focus to Ultimate Focus, which means that Tianhai now is in Ultimate Focus all the time during the ultimate.
Ⅳ. Viper Ning
Optimized the special effect (visual) of Viper Ning's skill [Yushan Enigma] and all its variants when cast in the air to make them consistent with the actual effect (the actual effect remains unchanged).
Ⅴ. Skill Description Optimizations for Some Heroes
1. Adjusted the effect description of Yueshan's [Immovable]: "Unaffected by movement-restricted skills" was changed to "Unaffected by stun and movement-restricted skills".
2. Optimized descriptions of all Tianhai's skill Talents, Tarka Ji's [Inner Fire] and [Inner Fire: Bide], and all Justina Gu's skill Talents. Descriptions that players are in Ultimate Focus when casting the above skills were added.
3. Optimized descriptions of the frozen condition of all Justina Gu's ultimate Talents. "Enemies casting their ultimates cannot be frozen" was changed to "Enemies in Ultimate Focus cannot be frozen."

3. Changed the preset button of Quick Counter from the side mouse button to G. Players can assign the feature to a custom button in "Settings-Button Layout-Button Customization". The above adjustments to the default Button Layout will have no influence on players' custom layout.

Ⅳ. Hero Select Page Optimizations
1. Optimized the size and performance of Heroes’ Avatars.
2. During the Hero selecting phase, the Hero info of the party has been moved to the bottom of the page.

Feature Optimizations

Ⅱ. Client
1. Optimized and Upgraded DLSS
When DLSS is turned on, you now can also adjust Render Scale and turn on Graphics Enhancement now. FPS will be improved greatly by reducing the render scale. You can also turn on NVIDIA graphics enhancements to reduce image quality loss.
Operation Guide:
1) Turn on NVIDIA DLSS in "Settings-Graphics-Medium".
2) Adjust Render Scale to an appropriate value as needed. The lower render scale is, the higher FPS will be.
Besides, when DLSS is on, you can still turn on NVIDIA Graphics Enhancement to improve image quality.
Players who use RTX graphics cards and turn on the DLSS can further improve FPS through the solutions above, to achieve the balance between the graphic quality and FPS. This adjustment is more effective at higher resolutions (2K, 4K, etc.).
2. Optimized multi-threaded calculation of skeletal animation to improve FPS and reduce game stuttering.
3. Optimized thread scheduling parameters for different hardware to improve FPS and reduce lag.

Hero Adjustments
Ⅰ. Temulch
1. Adjusted [Zephyr Prison] and all its variants to: Resist ranged attacks from enemies only. Besides, we distinguished the special effects of [Zephyr Prison] of all ultimate Talents between allies and enemies.
2. When hitting against [Zephyr Prison] from both allies and enemies, [Zephyr Wisp: Assault] will still bounce back. And if it hits the outside of [Zephyr Prison], enemies inside won’t be tracked.
//Dev Note: With the adjusted [Zephyr Prison], Temulch now can cooperate with allies’ ranged attacks, skills and even Grappling Hook more effectively. [Zephyr Prison] now is more helpful even in a solo fight.
Ⅱ. Justina Gu
1. Increased the initial skill Talent [Ice Core]’s CD from 25 sec to 28 sec.
2. Optimized the special effect of [Arctic Wraith·Frostwind]’s ice fog. Now the ice fog’s periphery is clearer.
Ⅲ. Matari
1. Reduced the max charging time of [Silent Flutter] from 1.5 sec to 1 sec.
2. Increased [Silent Flutter: Retrace Flash]’s CD from 25 sec to 30 sec.
3. Optimized the hit feel of [Silent Flutter] and all of its Talents. Now Matari can chain weapon strikes (including charged strikes) faster after teleporting, whether on the ground or in the air.
4. Adjusted her ultimate [Unseen Wings]. Now it can give all allies a stealth effect, with the duration reduced from 20 sec to 16 sec.
5. Adjusted her ultimate [Unseen Wings: Assassin]. Now it can give all allies a stealth effect, with the duration reduced from 15 sec to 14 sec. Besides, it now provides 50% Scale Rush buildup to all allies.
6. Changed her ultimate [Unseen Wings: Group Stealth] into [Unseen Wings: Smite]. Now it can give all allies a stealth effect lasting for 12 sec, and provide 50% Attack Healing to all allies.
//Dev Note: Due to Matari’s poor performance in a team fight, we hope to improve her team utility by making all of her ultimates team-effective. Meanwhile, we added the Talent "Attack Healing" to make Matari more aggressive. Adjustments to Matari’s skills could help her achieve this end too.
//Dev Note: We will continue to be concerned about the balance of other heroes and problems reported by most players and make appropriate adjustments in upcoming versions.
Weapon Adjustments
Ⅰ. Dagger
1. Increased the damage of Horizontal Strike [Soulbreak] of Dagger Dash from 188% to 249%.

2) Shooter: Based on the Default preset, Jump is assigned to the left bumpers (Xbox: LB, PS: L1), which is convenient for players to look around while moving fast.
3) Warrior: The preset is similar to the original Default 1. Players can use the right bumper and the right trigger (Xbox: RB/RT, PS: R1/R2) to attack, and the left bumper (Xbox: LB, PS: L1) to counter.

7. Players now can remap "skills" with a single button, but "ultimates" still require the combination.

9. Temporarily canceled the controller vibration during the second-stage charging of Bow, or when the counterstrike succeeds, or the Health bar turns red.
10. Adjusted the mechanism of customizable buttons: Now, changes made in any default preset will be saved to a new button layout preset named "Custom ". Due to the collision with the original mechanism (Default 1 and Default 2 can be changed into a new "Custom" preset respectively), the original custom presets will no longer be maintained.

Dear players,
The servers of NARAKA: BLADEPOINT will be suspended for maintenance from 03/11/2022 23:00 (UTC) to 03/12/2022 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 Hero: Winter's Grace - Justina Gu
Born of high standing, she's spent the better half of her life on the run.
Noble princess of the empire; leader of the Pluvial Pavilion; an assassin with a heart colder than her blade.
Justina Gu cares not for these titles. All she cares for is revenge, and finding her mother once more.
(Justina Gu's third skill variant and ultimate are not open in current version. In the upcoming updates, players will be able to unlock them through completing Cultivation quests.)
II. New Mode: Omni's Nightmare
Description: Faction Versus Mode; Asymmetric Survival Mode.
Players: 30
Matchmaking: Players can enter the match through Solo, Duo or Trios, but will be assigned to a random faction and play individually upon starting Omni's Nightmare (in the future versions, the mode will also be available in Custom Lobby).
Basic Rules:
1. Each Hero can revive one time. Evil-Ent Lords will revive as Evil-Ents after being defeated. Evil-Ents are able to respawn without limit.
2. Heroes steadily lose Health while in the Shadow Corruption, but recover Health while in the Embers or Soul Lantern areas. Evil-Ents lose lots of Health while within the Embers.
3. Heroes have to submit Rattans to Soul Sparks until they're lit. After this, they start counting down until they go out. In the meanwhile, the Heroes are strengthened by varying amounts.
4. Each time when the Soul Spark is lit or the Evil-Ent Lord is defeated, the match duration will be extended.
5. Heroes receive varying amounts of Dark Tide Coins upon submitting Rattans or defeating Evil-Ents/Evil-Ent Lords. Dark Tide Coins can be used to buy equipment and items from Rift Dealers.
6. Soul Sparks can be extinguished by Evil-Ent Lords. Once being extinguished, Soul Sparks will enter a protection period during which they cannot be extinguished again.
7. While there are still Evil-Ent Lords left alive, Heroes can attack each other. There will be a penalty for defeating a hero by mistake. Once all Evil-Ent Lords have been eliminated, the remaining Heroes are considered of the same faction.
8. If the total Soul Spark progress amounts to 240% or more (300% counting as full completion), it will enter overtime when the countdown ends. During the overtime, the countdown will stop when Heroes submit Rattans and the duration will be largely increased when the submission succeeds.
How to Win:
Heroes: Light 3 Soul Sparks./Have no Evil-Ents left alive on the battlefield.
Evil-Ents: When the countdown ends, not all Soul Sparks are lit./Have no Heroes left alive on the battlefield.
Factions Info:
You're automatically assigned into either the Evil-Ents, Evil-Ent Lords or Heroes:
·Heroes:
1. Heroes who have picked up fake Rattan will be bound. However, Heroes are also able to free other bound Heroes.
2. Heroes can place and cancel marks on each other, identifying the target as suspicious (double-tap a Hero to target them, and double-tap an empty space to cancel). Heroes' vulnerability increases as the number of marks placed on them rises. These markers will be reset when a hero is defeated by mistake or an Evil-Ent Lord is defeated. There will be a penalty for defeating a hero by mistake.
·Evil-Ents:
1. Rattans will drop when Evil-Ents are defeated.
2. Evil-Ents can see Evil-Ent Lords' icons and their messages.
3. Evil-Ents increase their level by defeating Heroes. Evil-Ents of higher levels gain a greater resistance against the Embers (up to Lv. 5).
Skill: They can enter Stealth for brief periods, becoming visible again when launching attacks.
Ultimate: Planting fake Rattans.
·Evil-Ent Lords:
1. Rattans will drop after Evil-Ent Lords are defeated.
2. Evil-Ent Lords are visible to one another, and their markers are visible to all Evil-Ents.
3. While disguised as Heroes, Evil-Ent Lords can submit Rattans to extinguish Soul Sparks and nullify nearby Embers, so that the Rattans cannot be submitted to Soul Sparks then.
Skill in the Hero form: Same as the Heroes’ skill.

3. Increased the number of water spears granted by [Nether Nightmare: Bind] from 5 to 6, and the duration that Valda's sea dragon remains. As for water spears thrown with horizontal strikes, their flight speed has been increased as necessary, yet their damage reduced from 200 to 100.
//Dev Note: We'd like for Valda Cui to be able to bring a certain variety to the lineup, creating more possibilities. As such we've buffed all her skills' control capabilities, and would like to see [Haze: Array] be put to better use as an area control skill. Her ultimates' control durations have similarly been buffed, and more leeway given to mistakes with [Nether Nightmare: Bind].
III. Yueshan
1. Optimized the range of Leaping Slash once Yueshan has transformed with [Troop Decimation].
2. Greatly increased the range of [Rampage: Heaven's Descent].
3. Increased the duration of [Rampage: Formation] from 3 to 5 sec, and reduced the damage reduction it grants from 50% to 35%.

IV. Kurumi
Adjusted the amount of health Kurumi heals with [Sacred Circle] in Duos mode from 300 to 240.
V. All Heroes
Adjusted heroes' maximum Rage in The Bloodbath and Free Training to match that of The Survival.
Weapon Adjustments
I. Dagger
1. [Yurang's Rage] and [Dreadful Wail] have been changed from gold to purple Focus moves (note: aside from the fact they cannot be Countered, purple Focus moves function the same as blue Focus).
2. Slightly delayed the initial strike of [Soulbreak], which can no longer be charged up.
3. Improved [Dragon Crush's] pursuit capabilities along with its range.
//Dev Note: With its varied forms and unpredictability, [Soulbreak] can mislead and bewilder the enemy. This time around we're working to balance this by slightly reducing its overpowered ability to dominate the enemy. It's still possible to Dagger Dash, crouch and then charge up a horizontal strike, and we're retaining the blue Focus that a full charge grants. Attacks not fully charged are considered common attacks, instead. We've also improved [Dragon Crush] and hope these adjustments will help Dagger gameplay develop in a positive direction.
II. Spear
1. Optimized the range of midair horizontal strikes and crouched horizontal strikes.
2. Reduced crouching horizontal strike damage from 85% * 2 to 95% * 2.

II. Bloodsport Adjustments
1. Removed the 'Shadowjade Mine' area.
2. Reduced the preparation time from 60 to 35 sec.
//Dev Note: Given the overly-complex terrain of the Shadowjade Mine, battles there would tend to last longer than in other areas. This wasn't a great experience for players and so we've decided to remove it for the time being. Additionally, we've shortened the preparation period as we found that players rarely switch heroes during this time.
III. Performance Optimization
1. We've continued optimizing the complexity of certain special effects to improve the fluidity of combat.
2. This new version integrates NVIDIA's latest super-resolution technology, NIS. Graphics cards lacking DLSS support are now also able to experience superior effects, and greatly improve rendering. Using a Render Scale of 50-99% will automatically activate NIS (note: this also applies to non-NVIDIA graphics cards).
IV. New Bag Icons for Stat Souljades

2. Hairstyles can now be edited from the Customization interface, allowing players to preview their characters more easily.

2. The partywide Attack buff of Tarka Ji's ultimate [Blackout: Frenzy] now lasts for a set 30 seconds.
//Dev Note: We want Tarka Ji to provide teammates with more reliable buffs. Now, when Tarka Ji manually turns off his ultimate or is slain, his buffs will continue to take effect.
3. When Tarka Ji activates his ultimate, his and his teammates' arms and legs gain a fiery effect. This will no longer be seen by enemies when invisible.
4. Adjusted the effects of [Burn], from “Deduct health and armor within 5 sec, and the healing effect will be reduced by 50%” to “Deduct health and armor at percentage within 5 sec, and the healing effect will be reduced by 50%”.
5. When Tarka Ji activates his ultimate, the hit during running and speeding down will no longer cause [Burn] effects on enemies.
II. Yueshan
1. Decreased the stagger duration of [Rampage] hit after Yueshan transformed in [Troop Decimation].
2. Optimized the hit determination of charged vertical attack [Dragontail] during Yueshan’s ultimate.
3. During Yueshan’s ultimate, adjusted the damage multiplier of charged vertical attack [Dragontail] from 848% to 734%, and adjusted the damage multiplier of charged horizontal attack [Leaping Slash] from 452% to 418%.
4.When Yueshan transforms in [Troop Decimation], the damage multiplier of [Rampage] is decreased from 30% + 60% to 20% + 30%.
//Dev Note: Yueshan, the Marquis of Eternia, seems to be overpowering after his debut on Morus Isle. So, we decreased the damage of some skills.
Weapon Adjustments
I. Spear
1. Slightly reduced the knockback distance of spear horizontal strike's first attack when charged. This should make it easier to follow a second attack.
2. Optimized the feel of following Uppercut Slash after the second attacks of spear horizontal or vertical strikes.
3. Won't take damage from sword energy during [Nezha's Might], and the sword energy can be broken by [Nezha's Might].
4. Damage Adjustments:
[Dragonslayer] - Increased the damage from 202% to 251%.
[Nezha's Might] - Adjusted the damage from 56%*2 + 83%*2 + 99%*2 to 51%*2 + 76%*2 + 105%*2.
//Dev Note: In both Solo and Trios, the usage rate of Spear is not as expected, thus we want players to be safer when activating [Nezha's Might], with more stable damage output.
II. Katana
1.Reduced the damage multiplier of crouching vertical strikes to 213% (was 250%).
//Dev Note: The crouching Uppercut Slash of Katana has the highest damage multiplier among all weapons’ Upper Slash, while maintaining super high performance. Thus, we slightly decreased its damage.
III. Dagger
1.Decreased the remaining time of the Focus after [Soulbreak].
//Dev Note: While maintaining the high attacking ability of [Soulbreak], we slightly increased the vulnerability of [Soulbreak] after the attack failed.
In-Game Adjustments

4. Optimized the lineup selection logic. When you repeatedly choose a certain hero or weapon, this hero or weapon's usage order will be automatically changed.
//Dev Note: We have made adjustments to Bloodsport's format and improved the lineup selection process. We hope that all heroes can enjoy the fighting more fluently in the Bloodsport!
VII. Bag Item Marker Adjustments
1. Marking an item in your bag will now send a brand-new message: "[Player ID] I have [XXX]". Consumables will also be shown together with the amount owned. Their teammates may then use the Request button to elicit that they want the item.

1. Reduced the required kill count of Viper Ning's "Kill 10 enemies with Swarms." to 8.

III. Score Optimization
1. When a player's Hero Score, Kill Score, or Survival Score is greater than their Rank Score, diminishing returns for score will be greater.

Hero Adjustments
I. New Hero
The family glory and arduous training have carved loyalty to Eternia in Yueshan's heart since childhood. When the political conspiracy was about to endanger the stability of the empire and the survival of the family, Yueshan, decided to fight for the true king of Eternia. The heroic soul of the soldiers was rebuilt into the undefeatable incarnation in the ashes. Wuwei Marquis, a youthful general of Eternia is making his entrance on Morus Isle, with his Cavalry army.
II. Temulch
1. The startup frames of [Zephyr Wisp] and all its variants will no longer be interrupted by attacks.
2. Removed the damage deduction to armor from all of Temulch'sSkills and Ultimates, and adjusted [Zephyr Wisp]'s damage.
Adjusted the damage of [Zephyr Wisp] and all of its variants when tossing up enemies in the air from “dealing 50% damage to health and 25% damage to armor” to“dealing 37% damage to enemies”..
3. Removed the effect of energy deduction when [Zephyr Wisp] or any of its variants hit an enemy.
4. Greatly reduced the thickness of [Zephyr Prison] and all its variants, and increased the [Slowed] effect when enemies pass through it. ([Slowed]: Consume all energy and greatly reduce energy recovery speed for 4 sec.)
//Dev Note: Temulch's ultimate has made him the most picked hero in multiplayer modes. We want enemies to think twice before passing through Zephyr Prison rather than being easy targets after being staggered. With this change, the barrier can be easily crossed, but energy will be consumed.
III. Tianhai
1. Increased the Clash distance and stagger duration of enemies when they attackTianhai’s[The Divine Bell] or any of its variations.
//Dev Note: Under some circumstances, the enemy's clash stagger duration will end before Tianhai’s skill [The Divine Bell] finishes. Owing to this, we have adjusted the stagger duration and flash distance so that the fighting of the two sides can more balanced.
2. Adjusted how damage is calculated while in Vajra form.
//Dev Note: As Tianhai deals bonus damage to armor while in Vajra form before, it has been difficult for players to gauge exactly how much damage is dealt. Thus, we have removed this bonus damage and instead increased its basic damage, with the total damage remaining unchanged.
3. Increased the health of Tianhai's Vajra form in multiplayer modes to 4,000 (was 3,650).
4. Removed the stagger animation when dropping below a certain health threshold while in Vajra form.
5. When grabbing and slamming two enemies into the ground, the ultimates will no longer be interrupted if an enemy struggles free of Vajra.
//Dev Note: As players are getting increasingly familiar with Titan's Call and its mechanics, some of its shortcomings have become more apparent. So we have reevaluated Titan's Call and come up with the aforementioned changes.
6. Removed the Vajra's weak spots in the initial [Titan's Call].
7. Adjusted the duration of the initial [Titan's Call] from 40 sec to 30 sec.
8. Reduced amount of health recovery when grabbing and slamming an enemy into the ground in the [Titan's Call: Heal]from 1, 500 to 1,000.
//Dev Note: [Titan's Call: Heal] has proved to be slightly more powerful than other talent choices. We're therefore adjusting some of the ultimate to make them more balanced.
IV. Tarka Ji
1. [Inner Fire: Gigaflame] will apply an extra [Vulnerable] effect onto enemies hit, increasing their damage taken by 10%.
2. [Blackout]'s energy recovery now affects the entire team.
3. [Blackout: Frenzy]'s attack buff now affects the entire team by 10% (it previously increased Attack by a set amount).
//Dev Note: Tarka Ji has been lacking cooperative ability in multiplayer modes. Owing to this, we have increased his contributions to the team without increasing his power in solo battles.
4. Removed [Blackout: Frenzy]'s energy recovery effect.
//Dev Note: [Blackout: Frenzy] granted both a boost to damage and energy recovery, which coupled with the strong survivability and made the ultimate’s position a bit blurry. However, we want to better differentiate it from [Blackout].
5. Removed the armor damage multiplier of “Evasive Strike” and “Lethal Descent” from all skills s and the skill [Inner Fire: Bide]. We've also increased the base damage of all of these.
Lethal Descent now has a 275% damage multiplier that deals to enemies(was 200% to health and 400%toarmor).
Evasive Strike now has a 150% damage multiplier that deals to enemies(was 100% to health and 200%toarmor).
The first stage of [Inner Fire: Bide]'s level 2 counter now has a 115% damage multiplier that deals to enemies(was 130% to health and 91%toarmor).
The second stage of [Inner Fire: Bide]'s level 2 counter now has a 190% damage multiplier that deals to enemies (was 170% to health and 221%to armor).
The fourth stage of [Inner Fire: Bide]'s level 3 counter now has a 275% damage multiplier that deals to enemies(was 200% to health and 400%toarmor).
//Dev Note: With bonus damage to armor, it has been difficult for players to gauge exactly how much damage is dealt. Thus, we have removed this bonus damage and instead adjusted base damage, with the total damage remaining unchanged
Weapon Adjustments
I. Dagger
1. Slowed down the landing timing of horizontal jump strikes.
II. Katana
1. Shortened the stagger of vertical [Blink Strikes].
Souljade Adjustments
I. Dagger Souljades
1. [Dreadful Wail] added a sound prompt and special effect of the combo in Leap Strike.
2. [Dreadful Wail] Leap Strike is no longer a Focus move.

1. Improved the recovery frames when usingVitalia and Armor Powder.
2. After a successful counter, if players get hit by a Focus attack, they can now trigger another counter or dodge immediately to interrupt it
II. Shadow Corruption Timing Adjustments
1. In The Survival trios, the 1st Shadow Corruption starts shrinking after 5 minutes (was 4 min 30 sec).
2. The 1st Shadow Corruption shrinking duration is decreased to 240 sec (was 270 sec), and the shrinking range is reduced.
3. Slightly reduced the duration of the safe zones of the 2nd to 7th Shadow Corruptions, reduced the shrinking distance, and increased the shrinking duration.
4. The next Shadow Corruption spread will be viewable immediately when it stops spreading.
//Dev Note:
1) Delayed the start time of the 1st Shadow Corruption spreading in Trios. This aims to alleviate not having enough time to search for resources as initial battles sometimes last quite long.
2) While Shadow Corruption spreads over a shorter period of time now, we have also reduced the spreading range. This means that Shadow Corruption spreads slower than before which should make it easier to escape it.
3) The next safe zone's location will be viewable earlier than before so that players can plan out rotation ahead of time.
III. Optimization
1. Re-added health bars over heroes in battle. Improved FPS in multiplayer battles.
2. Lowered CPU usage for physics simulations and resource management to increase frame rates.
3. Improved resource load speed to reduce stuttering and waiting times from resources being loaded.

1. Added the new Winner Spectate function: the winner of the battle will automatically start spectating other players after defeating the opponent. Players can quit the spectating anytime, or reenter the spectating through Match Schedule.

3. Damage reduction in Bloodsport has been increased to 40% (was 25%).
4. Upon entering the final, the heroes and weapons you used during the previous three rounds will now be automatically selected. You may change your setup before the timer runs out.
5. You can now gain weapon proficiency inBloodsport.
//Dev Note: We adjusted the gaming pace of Bloodsport and will continue to optimize in upcoming versions.
V. Random Rich Resource Areas
1. We've added rich resources areas that will appear at random. These will be highlighted on the map and viewable while selecting your spawn location and during the course of the match.
//Dev Note: The five main areas are no longer certain to be rich in resources. Be sure to check your maps before landing on Morus Isle!
VI. Morus' Blessing
Morus' Blessing will now provide more varied mythic weapons and souljades. There will now spawn 2 Morus' Blessings at a time.
Out-Game Adjustments
I. Adjusted the Stats display when entering the match.
Statistics will be displayed in all modes. The Stats will be aligned with the current mode rather than all Stats of trios and solos.
1) Quick Match/The Herald's Trial: Top 5s & Total Kills
2) Bloodsport: Wins & Total Kills
3) The Bloodbath: Wins & Total Kills
II. Adjusted the difficulty of some hero Cultivation Quests, taking them more in line with expectations:
1. Kurumi and YotoHime now only need to complete 8 Prayer quests (was 10).
2. Temulch and Tianhai now only need to complete 8 Blessing quests (was 10).
3. Tarka Ji and Valda Cui now only need to complete 8 Treasure Hunt quests (was 10).

Dear players:
The servers of NARAKA: BLADEPOINT will be suspended for maintenance from10/27/2021 23:00 (UTC) to10/28/2021 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:
Heroes
I. Valda Cui
1. Ultimate [Nether Nightmare: Bind]: Initiating a horizontal strike after using this ultimate no longer breaks enemies free from Bind. The hit rate of Valda's horizontal strikes has been improved, and she now has a new vertical strike in which she hurls forth a water spear: it travels slowly with a comparably low hit rate, yet deals high damage.
//Comments from Dev Team: These changes were implemented given that [Nether Nightmare: Bind] was originally only meant to bind multiple enemies, but wasn't working as well as intended. Tips: Vertical strikes have a very low hit rate when used alone. Try linking them in with horizontal strikes as part of a combo!
Weapons
I. Longsword
1. Slightly shortened the stagger duration inflicted upon standing enemies with normal and running horizontal strikes.
//Comments from Dev Team: The horizontal strike of Longsword contains probing, chasing and combo effects. The function is so comprehensive that we need to weaken it.
II. Dagger
1. New weapon advantage: [Energy Demount]. If two players attack at the same time, the player using a Dagger won't clash, but demount the enemy's energy and initiate a counterattack.
2. Slightly slowed down the crouch/slideUppercut Slash.
3. Significantly reduced the distance that airborne enemies are knocked back when hit with a midair horizontal strike. Slightly shortened the stagger duration inflicted upon downed enemies.
4. [Yurang's Rage] Damage Adjustment: from 103%+155%*3 to 57% + 115%*2 + 287%.
//Comments from Dev Team: Now the startup frame of DaggerUppercut Slash is reduced to the same as those of Katana and Longsword. We disconnected part of the long combo of Dagger to allow more space during the battle. At the same time, we added a new weapon advantage Energy Demount, in order that Dagger still maintains enoughfrontal fighting strengthwhile clashing.
Ⅲ. Greatsword
1. Improved hit determination for horizontal strikes following vertical strikes/horizontal strikes following a horizontal-vertical strike combo.
2. Adjusted the Stone Form stagger that some attack moves inflict on Greatsword.
3. Slightly lengthened the timeframe in which [Rockfall Slash] can be followed up with a dodge.
4. Adjusted the damage dealt by charged horizontal and vertical strikes:
Damage of the first-stage charged vertical strikes reduced from 224%+449% to 202%+403%;
Damage of the second-stage charged vertical strikes reduced from 261%+522% to 238%+476%;
Damage of the third-stage charged vertical strikes reduced from 291%+582% to 265%+530%;
Damage of the first-stage charged horizontal strikes increased from 597% to 621%;
Damage of the third-stage charged horizontal strikes increased from 247%*4 to 250%*4;
//Comments from Dev Team: When the opponent uses some moves to attack the Greatsword, and the attack action is not over yet, the Stone Form can be used to counterattack. This performance is a little too strong, so we adjusted the Stone Form stagger of some moves.
[Rockfall Slash] After hitting, the pressure on the opponent to dodge again is overwhelming, so we hope [Rockfall Slash] connects and dodges slowly, and slightly reduce the damage of [Rockfall Slash].

Fixed the issue where Katana’s third vertical strike, Katana Souljade [Stamina Strike], Greatsword crouched horizontal strikes following vertical strikes, Spear Souljade [Erudition], Dagger Souljades [Abyssal Aura] and [Assassin's Lunge] would have no blue Focus light effects.
Fixed the issue where players could grapple to interrupt their attack during the Longsword [Sword Energy], Longsword Souljade [Phoenix Blast], the second and third charged Greatsword strikes, Greatsword Souljade [Earthshaker]/[Infernal Slash]/[Aerial Rend], Dagger Souljade [Yurang's Rage]/[Abyssal Aura], Katana Souljade [Soul Slash].
Optimized overall performance and environmental interactions:
1. Forward jump (holding forward + jump): Trigger interactions with objects around you, such as through wall running, tree climbing, jumping atop eaves and beams, vaulting through windows, etc. (These were triggered by pressing the jump key in previous versions. We've changed this in order to prevent accidental interactions.)
2. Jump (without pressing any directional key): Perform a 'back roll' to exit from certain interactions (such as climbing walls or trees, hanging atop eaves, etc. You could drop down from these with the 'C' key in previous versions, and has been changed to simplify controls.)
3. Climb up: Hold a directional key to climb up while hanging from eaves. Releasing the key before you've completed the action cancels it. (The jump key was used to climb up in previous versions, and has been changed to make less key-presses necessary in gameplay.)
4. Check: Hold a directional key while crouching atop a tree or the edge of a building to 'check' the area and then drop down. Releasing the key before you've completed the action cancels it. (The jump key was used to do this in previous versions. We've changed this in order to prevent players from starting the action accidentally.)
5. Extended interactions: Point the camera in a set direction and initiate a forward jump during various interactions (such as climbing walls or trees, hanging atop eaves, etc.) in order to extend your interaction range in that direction. For example, looking up while climbing a tree allows you to grab onto eaves that would be out of reach otherwise.
6. You now automatically climb up onto beams or ropes when grabbing them, and can no longer hang underneath them. Press C to drop down. (Changed to improve ease-of-use.)
7. Slightly reduced slide speed and increased the capacity for turning whilst sliding. Added a new animation for consecutive slides.
Default Grapple Settings:
Having got out your Grappling Hook, both left- and right-click are set to 'Auto Aim'. You can adjust Auto Aim settings for the left or right mouse button, and toggle Auto Aim to your liking by pressing the escape key then heading to Settings. (Right-clicking would enter Auto Aim in the previous version. We've changed this to make the controls easier for new players.)
Optimized network and functionality:
1. Optimized how memory/video memory is managed to smoothen frame rates.
2. Optimized loading of resources from the hard drive, making loading smoother.
3. Optimized hardware support for mice with high polling rates, smoothening camera movement at high frame rates (over 60 FPS).
4. Optimized controller support.
5. Updated NVIDIA DLSS, improving rendering efficiency while also making even better graphics possible.
6. Other assorted efficiency and graphics optimizations.
7. Optimized rendering efficiency of the Team Stats page, reducing stuttering and frame drops encountered while viewing it.
8. Tuned network settings to fix several issues that would occur at high latency and during network disturbance. Icons are now displayed by characters' heads during high latency to indicate a poor connection.
Combat adjustments:
1. Bag adjustments:
a) Valuable equipment can be picked up and swapped out for low-quality equipment of the same kind in your Bag (Souljades, Vitalia, Armor Powder, weapons etc.).
b) Added the ability to swap your equipped weapon. Press '3' to swap it with a nearby weapon you haven't picked up.
c) Once you've maxed out your Bag's capacity, you'll no longer be able to pick up Bag Upgrades.
d) You can now interact with Troves and Rift Dealers while your Bag is open.
2. Optimized the animations, effects and SFX for attacks with melee weapons.
3. Optimized the view shown for various charged moves.
4. Added damage text. You can toggle damage and healing text in Settings - Combat.
5. Added a bar to indicate the remaining duration of important debuffs.
6. Added a bar to indicate the progress of weapon repairs/healing.
7. Optimized colorblind mode for items (in and out of games): Item quality is now displayed directly in drops & item descriptions, making it no longer necessary to see an item's text to assess its rarity.
8. Counter sword energy: You can trigger a Counter when your weapon clashes with an enemy's, but Counters now also reflect sword energy too.
New weapon: Spear
General description:
Following prolonged discussions and consideration we have decided to introduce a new melee weapon as part of the Final Beta: the [Spear]. Along with the Spear, we'll be introducing combos to go with it and more Souljade content, too. Known as the 'King of All Weapons' in ancient China, it has a reasonably large range compared to other melee weapons.
New attack method, 'On Target': When charging up a blow with the Spear, releasing at just the right moment initiates an even-stronger golden Focus strike.
Souljade [Erudition]: Enhances charged vertical strikes.
Souljade [Scale Rush - Spear]: Launching a Scale Rush with a Spear initiates a new move upon hitting the ground.
Weapon balance adjustments:
1. Redesigned the Pistol. It now fires five shots, while charged shots fire a number of explosive rounds (depending on how many you've loaded into the chamber). These rounds deal explosive damage within a small area.
2. Slightly increased the speed of the Flamebringer's fire.
3. Slightly increased the speed of Repeating Crossbow shots.
4. Reduced the Bow's basic damage by 5%.
5. Increased the Cannon's basic damage by 7%, and optimized projectile trajectories.
6. Headshot damage from Repeating Crossbows, Muskets and Bows reduced to 1.5x damage (down from 2x). Other ranged weapons' headshot damage remains unchanged.
7. The Grappling Hook no longer deals a small amount of damage to enemies hit.
8. Slightly reduced damage from charged attacks.

Anti-Cheat Improvements
NARAKA: BLADEPOINT is a one-off purchase competitive PvP game with a focus on fairness, and so both the dev team and operation teams have zero-tolerance toward hacks or unfair gameplay, and we vow to crack down on those that use or develop hacks. From the beta in April until now we've worked hard on establishing an anti-hack foundation, in which we utilize AI technology to discern and detect hacks. However, so as to not compromise our protective measures we will refrain from going into detail here. We implore all of you to keep your eyes open for hackers, and to report any you find, and work with us to create a hack-free game!
Incompatible Character Customization Data
We are terribly sorry to inform you: many players have created their own character customizations during the previous rounds of beta. However, as we continuously work on improving and optimizing our customization features, data from previous betas will not be available for use during this round of beta testing. We are also unable to guarantee that customization data from this round of beta can be used in later iterations of the game.
Once the game is fully launched our customization feature will be more stable, and there will be no further incompatibility issues.
