NARAKA: BLADEPOINT Test Server Update – 2025-11-28

Greetings Heroes,

Thank you for your continued support of NARAKA: BLADEPOINT. You've been granted access to our Beta Server.

The following adjustments apply to this testing period only and do not represent final balancing.

New Content

I. Casual Mode: Golden Roc Escort — Limited-Time Event

  1. Increased the initial time for the Golden Roc escort phase, and increased the overtime granted upon successfully escorting the Golden Roc to the midpoint.
  2. Slightly reduced the overtime cap.
  3. Soul Lantern mechanic update: After the Golden Roc appears, three Soul Lanterns on the map activate. Capturing different numbers of Soul Lanterns grants team buffs:
  • Capture 1: Increases Dark Tide Coins earned over playtime.
  • Capture 2: Speeds up or slows the Golden Roc's advance.
  • Capture 3:
    • Attackers — The Golden Roc keeps advancing even when enemies are in range.
    • Defenders — Increases the number of Attackers required to keep the Golden Roc moving forwards.

II. Showdown — New Content

1. New Hero: Zai Ji

Zai Ji now joins Showdown with Talents and Ultimates that differ from her Survival Mode versions.

Reckoning is her name; netherfire, her sentence.

2. New Mastery Souljades

Some Melee and Ranged Souljades have been upgraded to Mastery Souljades, which equip to the new Mastery slot. The Mastery slot unlocks at hero level 20.

A new Mastery category has been added to your Souljade inventory; only Souljades in this category can equip to the Mastery slot.

Both primary and secondary stats on Mastery Souljades take effect.

Mastery Souljades cannot roll Ice-wielding, Poison-wielding, or Thunder-wielding stats. Imbue only changes the elemental effect of the primary stat, and you cannot equip a Mastery Souljade whose weapon does not match your current hero's weapon.

3. New Hero Level Cap

The hero level cap in Showdown has been raised to 25 across all heroes, with new level perks and Equipment Upgraded!

Hero levels 21–25 require a Level Breakthrough, which consumes the new Showdown item Breakthrough Aura. Breakthrough Aura can be earned through Showdown Weekly Quests.

(See the official patch notes for full details on Level Breakthrough requirements.)

4. New Souljades

  • New Mastery Souljade Fistblades·Sky Slash: An enhanced Uppercut Slash for the Fistblades; lands an extra hit after a Precise Dodge.
  • New Mastery Souljade Heng Sword·Rent Firmament: An enhanced three-stage Vertical Strike for the Heng Sword; applies Burning on a Successful Counter.
  • New Mastery Souljade Dual Halberds·Whirling Slash: An enhanced Uppercut Slash for the Dual Halberds; allows a follow-up Vertical Strike when Defuse Triggered.
  • New Mastery Souljade Whipsword·Blazing Cyclone: Changes the Whipsword's charged Vertical Strike, with attacks adding elemental buildup. Landing a Defuse (Counterattack) empowers the next Blazing Cyclone hit.
  • The previous Frost Arrows, Thunder Arrows, and Toxic Arrows have been merged and upgraded into the Mastery Souljade Bow·Heartbreak Arrows.
  • The previous Ice Bomb, Thunder Shot, and Toxic Shot have been merged and upgraded into the Mastery Souljade Musket·Sky-rending Shot.
  • The previous Frost Cannon, Thunder Cannon, and Toxic Cannon have been merged and upgraded into the Mastery Souljade Cannon·Primordial Blast.
  • The previous Ice Repeating Crossbow, Thunder Crossbow, and Toxic Crossbow have been merged and upgraded into the Mastery Souljade Repeating Crossbow·Essence Binding Arrows.
  • The previous Frost Bomb, Thunder Detonation, and Toxic Explosion have been merged and upgraded into the Mastery Souljade Pistol·Stormshot.
  • The previous Ice Swarm, Thunder Swarm, and Toxic Swarm have been merged and upgraded into the Mastery Souljade Swarm·Swarm Veil.

Hero Adjustments

I. Inor Wan

  1. The duration of the Immunity Wray Mark (免疫雷痕, literal translation) applied by Thunder Lord has been changed from 4 seconds to 5 seconds.
  2. The duration of the Wray Mark (雷痕, literal translation) applied by Thunder Lord has been changed from 9 seconds to 7 seconds.

II. Justina Gu

  1. The duration of the ice mist from Arctic Wraith: Frostwind has been changed from 8 seconds to 6 seconds.

III. Cyra

  1. Light's Mercy duration has been changed from 17 seconds to 14 seconds in Solos/Duos, and from 20 seconds to 16 seconds in Trios. The first- and second-stage chase beam damage coefficients have been increased from 1.3 / 2.3 to 1.5 / 2.5.
  2. Light's Mercy: Field now pauses rage generation for 6 seconds after the light field bursts.

IV. Xunhuan Li

  1. Rule change for Deflect (化解, literal translation) triggered by a Precise Dodge during the Ultimate: hits that do not cause stagger will no longer trigger Deflect — for example, the Bronze Mech's Swarm fire and Repeating Crossbow fire.
  2. For the Untouched Leaf flying knife move that consumes Will (神意, literal translation), the initial aim range has been changed from 60m to 40m.

Developer note: A target must have entered the initial aim range to be locked on, but subsequent aim progress is not constrained by this range.

Out-of-Game Adjustments

I. Send Gift — New Tipping Feature

In addition to the existing Fairyland Penglai and Purchase Details screens, you can now Send Gift (tip) at any time via a player's action list (opened by clicking their avatar on the leaderboard or Friends list). Detailed rules:

  1. Gift items can only be purchased with paid Gold. After tipping, the recipient receives Gold equal to 60% of the item's value. Due to technical limitations, Steam players cannot purchase gift items for the time being.
  2. When the recipient is online, an announcement is played. A single gift of 100 items also triggers a broadcast on the Fairyland Penglai instance both players are on.
  3. A new Gift Record page has been added to your Profile, where you can view gifts you've sent and received — including leaderboards (ranked by Gold) and the Gift Log. Display of this page can be disabled in Settings.
  4. A player who tips you becomes your Supporter. Reaching 360 Gold in gifts unlocks the Supporter Title. Once you have 10 Supporters, you can edit the Supporter Title text.
  5. Cumulative gifts sent and received earn extra rewards — see the official patch notes for specifics.
  6. Special note on data records: In Gift Record, the Sent and Received leaderboards each hold up to 100 players, and each Log holds up to 50 entries. Due to storage limits, when neither party is on the other's leaderboard and the record is also absent from both parties' logs, that record will be permanently cleared and will not count toward leaderboard totals. We apologise for any inconvenience.

Rift Traversal Adjustments

I. Crossover Collectible Progress Bar Update

  1. We are optimising the pity system in this update: pity will now prioritise Crossover Collectibles you do not yet own. To make sure everyone can obtain both Shanghai Museum Crossover (上博联动, possible mistranslation) Collectibles during the event, we are granting all players 2 additional pity attempts (4 in total). Thank you for supporting this crossover.
  2. Added a Collectible progress bar to the in-match map screen.
  3. When a Crossover Collectible progress reward is about to trigger, a progress bar will appear in the main HUD's quest tracker; when the reward triggers, a popup will be shown.

II. New Amulets

Added exclusive Amulets for Yueshan and Hadi:

1. Spirit Seal·Wuwei Marquis

  • During General's Call, the charged Horizontal Strike deals an extra large-area hit.
  • During General's Call, using Rampage grants immunity to certain control effects for 4 seconds.

2. Spirit Seal·The Visionary

  • During Aerial Ascent, you can use healing items while in flight.
  • During Aerial Ascent, attacks after a third-stage charge apply Burning.

III. Relic Keeper Courier Pact Improvements

Buy Courier Pacts for your Relics, and if your extraction fails, Seller Sincere will save the most valuable Extreme-rarity one in your Relic Bag for you! (Excluding those acquired from other players.)

IV. Preparation Experience Improvements

  1. The Storeroom Preparation screen now shows a preview of how your Loadout Score (战备分, literal translation) will change.
  2. The Etch Rubrics screen now shows a preview of how your Loadout Score will change.

V. Daily Earnings Tracker

In the MARKET's Transaction History, you can now view Today's Rewards. The tracking window runs from 4 AM to 4 AM the next day.

VI. Other Adjustments

  1. The Drunken Fire Chamber's East and West Entrances now require less Void Coin to open as match time elapses; they unlock for free when 7 minutes remain in the match.
  2. Holy Blaze Chalice and Sacred Flame Chalice can no longer be placed in the Century Chest.
  3. Added Scout Eye to the in-match Rift Dealer; Void Coin cost varies by difficulty.

Showdown Adjustments

I. Combat Adjustments

  1. The strike coefficient of the Souljade Dagger·Assassin's Lunge has been increased from 2.38 + 0.26×3 to 2.8 + 0.32×3.
  2. Increased the rate at which dodges and Defuses fill the Demonbane Mark Defuse gauge.
  3. The base strike coefficients of the Savage Element Seal Potential's Demonbane Break (诛魔破, literal translation) have been increased:
    • Ice: 1.7 → 1.88
    • Thunder: 2.75 → 3.04
    • Poison: 1.8 → 2.01

II. Nirriti's Ruins Adjustments

  1. Added new Anima Rings: Deadeye Epiphany and Deadeye Might.

III. Topaz Enigma Domain Adjustments

  1. After the standard 9-wave Boss Challenge concludes, 3 Elite Bosses have been added as additional Challenge Targets. Rules for the first 9 Boss waves are unchanged — they still consume a total of 30 fatigue, and defeating the 9th-wave Boss still counts as Victory.
  2. Each Elite Boss defeated consumes an additional 5 fatigue. Defeating an Elite Boss grants the corresponding fatigue reward.

Feature Improvements

I. Client

Improved network monitoring; the client now detects network fluctuations more sensitively.

II. Join Sect System

  1. Improved Request Failed prompt text shown when seeking a mentor or recruiting fails.
  2. Improved Disciple recommendation logic on the Sect Plaza, and added an online status display.

Bug Fixes

I. Hero-Related Bugs

  1. Fixed an issue where Xunhuan Li could still use Windstep (踏风, literal translation) during the Untouched Leaf Ultimate while using a Will-consuming move to lock on.
  2. Fixed an issue where Xunhuan Li's Deflect animation could be cancelled by switching weapons.
  3. Fixed an issue where the Wray Blade projectiles fired by Inor Wan's Bolt Dash: Pact could fail to properly hit enemies directly in front of him in certain situations.
