NARAKA: BLADEPOINT Test Server Update – 2026-03-26

Hello, heroes,

Thank you for your continued support of NARAKA: BLADEPOINT. You are eligible for our Beta Server access.

The adjustments below apply only during this beta test and do not represent the final tuning.

New Content

I. New Lobby Feature: Photo Booth

The Photo Booth offers fine-grained parameter controls for camera, lighting, props, and decorations. Players can pick character outfits and pose their hero for the perfect shot — Solo and Duos shoots are currently supported. Finished Photo Booth shots can be applied to your personal Profile card as a showcase.

  1. Open the feature via Hero → Photo Booth.
  2. The Photo Booth includes multiple preset scenes and Official Templates, with one-click template preview and editing — easily generate your own custom shoot.
  3. A rich library of DIY components is provided; tweak parameters across different functions and let your imagination run wild.
  4. The feature is still in active development. We'll progressively bring cheering-banner content into the Photo Booth, including the Legendary universal Accessory [Message Board] and the universal Gesture [Waving and Cheering].

Note: This feature is still in testing. The sharing function is Temporarily Unavailable; we'll roll it out based on test results.

II. New Showdown Mode: Nirriti's Ruins Innerworld

A hidden realm has quietly opened within Nirriti's Ruins, drawing heroes from far and wide to test their mettle.

  1. A new Showdown stage you can enter with the Anima Ring sets cleared from the existing Nirriti's Ruins.
  2. [Nirriti's Ruins Innerworld] has been added to the Nirriti's Ruins stage selection menu. The Innerworld has 3 difficulties — each unlocks once you clear the matching difficulty in the Outerworld.
  3. Entering the Innerworld costs Phase Runes. Phase Runes can be obtained from the Showdown Weekly Challenge or by challenging the Topaz Enigma Domain.
  4. After clearing Hard, Nightscream, or Legendary difficulty in the regular Nirriti's Ruins, you can save all the Anima Rings from that run on the Purchase Details screen.
    • Each difficulty has 5 save slots. When a slot is available, your Anima Ring loadout is saved automatically.
    • Click the Anima Ring Set button on the Nirriti's Ruins stage select screen to swap your active loadout. If no loadout is set as In Use, you cannot matchmake into the Innerworld.
    • Inside the Innerworld, every Anima Ring in the active save will be active. Note: count-based Anima Rings will be reset.

III. The Evolution

1. New Global Effects

When entering an Evolution match, there's a chance one of these global effects will trigger:

  • [Golden Ticket]: All Techniques gained from Breakthroughs in this match are Legendary quality.

  • [Again and Again]: Gain extra random Technique reroll opportunities.

  • New Legendary universal Technique [All-in Reshuffle]: Lose all selected Techniques and gain the same number of Gold-quality Techniques.
  • New Legendary universal Technique [Cave Raider]: You can open all Caves; each Cave opening grants a Technique selection.
  • New Legendary Zenda Wu Ultimate Technique [Spiritbound Bow·Arrowstorm]: When casting [Penetrating Arrows], the leaping shot marks every enemy it hits. While the bow is drawn, you can fire arrows at up to 3 marked enemies.
  • New Legendary Zenda Wu Ultimate Technique [Spiritbound Bow·Skypiercer]: Increases lock-on range while drawing [Penetrating Arrows]. Horizontal Strikes against marked, locked-on enemies deal an additional 15% DMG, and the arrows fired ignore environmental obstacles.

3. Technique Adjustments

You can now select Techniques while in the Remains state or during Rebirth.

  • [Forbidden Art II]: Cannot use Ultimate. Skill Cooldown Reduction adjusted from 50% to -36%. After casting a skill, ATK +40% for 10 seconds. Life Steal raised from +24% to +40%.

III. Yama's Abyss Leaderboard Exploit Policy

Last season, we observed players using a bug to "skip part of the monster phases" in order to climb the Yama's Abyss Leaderboard.

For this season, we've reworked the build to prevent the bug and revised the detection method for Yama's Abyss violations — all attempts to skip phases will now be logged. We're also tightening penalties:

Once detected, the run's score is voided and the player is barred from challenging the Yama's Abyss Leaderboard for a period of time. Severe offenders may receive competition bans or full account suspensions.
