NARAKA: BLADEPOINT Test Server Update – 2026-05-14

Dear heroes,

First, thank you for your continued support of NARAKA: BLADEPOINT — you've been granted access to our Beta Server.

The following adjustments apply only to this test period and do not represent the final tuning.

Brand New Content

I. New Tempered Inferno and New Curios for Showdown

Will be available after the Fatigue reset on May 21st, 2026 (Beijing Time).

1. Curio Info

  1. Five Thunder Banner: After triggering a critical hit, summons a Thunder Mark that strikes enemies in range with Bolts. 1-second interval, 2-second duration.
  2. Nether Soul Order: Zai Exclusive Curio. After using [Flame Ward: Showdown], the [Flame Ward] state can be briefly maintained. While in this state, using your skill again releases [Soul Smash]. When [Soul Smash] lands 3 or more hits, [Ensnared Soul] builds up.
  3. Frost Dragon Belt: Increases Max Armor and grants 18% Damage Reduction.
  4. Aegis Golden Chopsticks: Justina Gu Exclusive Curio. Replaces her Ultimate with [Arctic Wraith: Showdown]. After casting it, her skill is replaced with [Shadowswipe·Frostwind: Showdown], which summons an extra [Frostwind] when used.
  5. Mountain Jade Soul: Akos Hu Exclusive Curio. Replaces his Ultimate with [Feral Frenzy: Lockdown: Showdown]. After casting it, summons a banner formation and replaces his skill with [Lunge: Showdown]. While inside the banner formation, a Perfect Dodge or Defuse from Akos summons a Tiger-Claw Strike — at most once per second.
  6. Unsinkable Stele: Extends the duration of Souljade [Four Spirits Converge]'s Black Tortoise's Aid effect.

2. Tempered Inferno In-match Adjustments

  1. The bosses appearing in this Tempered Inferno are [Omnius·Aureate], [Korvine], and [The Charioteer].
  2. The original [Gather Flag] is replaced with [Lotus Lock] — still unlocked by upgrading the Chaos Furnace.
  3. Added a new combat item, [Diamond Elixir] (坠羽金刚丹). Effect: summons a giant vajra-pestle Phantasm and lands a single high-Focus strike; if it hits a boss, it follows up with additional strikes.

3. Feature Adjustments

Added a new item, [Taichu Chaos Stone] (太初混沌石), obtainable through limited-time Events. In Showdown, it can be used to upgrade Curios from previous seasons that are still at Crafting Level 0, pushing them directly to Crafting Level 1 so they become usable in the current and subsequent seasons.

Combat Adjustments

I. Ultimate-state special-weapon strikes now accumulate Disengage value on hit

Adjusted certain special-weapon strikes used during heroes' Ultimates so they cause hit enemies to accumulate Disengage value. Affected attacks:

  • During Zai Ji's Ultimate: all Chain Scythe attacks other than [Chain Link] and [Chain Link: Suppress].
  • Yoto Hime's demonic blade attacks while in [Demon Blade] Ultimate state.
  • Kylin Zhang's weapon slashes while in his Ultimate state.
  • Hadi's weapon slashes while in his Ultimate's flight state.
  • The Almighty General's attacks after Yueshan transforms, excluding powerful executions.
  • The Thunder Lord's attacks after Inor Wan transforms, excluding execution moves.

//Dev Note: Some heroes swap to a special weapon while in their Ultimate state, and under certain conditions this could enable infinite combos. We've adjusted some moves that had no resource cost or cooldown restriction so they no longer reset Disengage value.

In-game Adjustments

I. The Morus Isle Gameplay Adjustments

  1. Weapon rotation added: Dual Flintlocks, Flying Knives, Fistblades, and their corresponding Souljades will not be obtainable in this map mode.
  2. Increased the number of Morus' Blessing in the third round from 1 to 2.
  3. Adjusted open-world resource distribution — resources are now more densely packed, and new map icons indicate resource-rich areas.
  4. Vermilion Bird Talisman duration increased from 180 seconds to 240 seconds.

Out-game Adjustments

I. Photo Booth Updates

  1. When importing a Photo Booth template, you can now check a box to import the associated Collection. Collections you don't own can't be imported yet.
  2. Added Background Music to the Photo Booth — you can now add Background Music to templates.
  3. Added a new official multiplayer Photo Booth template.

Rift Traversal Adjustments

I. In-match Drop Adjustments

  1. Added extra drops of this season's high-value Season Collections in Green Skies Crate·Legendary for the Qianwang Tide-shooting (钱王射潮) and Spring Piercer·Divine Soul in-match gameplay.
  2. Added this season's high-value Season Collections to the extra drop rewards of Green Skies Crate·Legendary in the Qin Estate Dungeon.
  3. Reduced the extra-drop weighting of Green Skies Crate·Legendary from the Execution Ground raid and Prison Break (Escort Yue Fei) events on the River Runs Red map, redistributing the share to other modes. After the change, the overall extra drops of Green Skies Crate·Legendary across the map's events are slightly increased.

II. Alchemy Optimization

  1. Removed the event where the alchemy furnace could explode while channeling.
  2. Adjusted the placement of alchemy furnaces in River Runs Red, moving them to the House of Spring and City Deity Pavilion areas.
  3. Polished some text in the alchemy furnace's interface description and interaction prompts.
  4. Placed a batch of Metal Ore and Herb resources around the alchemy furnaces, making it easier for Travelers to gather materials while crafting elixirs.

III. Fortune Courier Pact Optimization

  1. Priority pickup time for produced Extreme Relics is slightly extended, from 8 seconds to 10 seconds.
  2. Optimized the trigger logic: the Fortune Courier Pact effect will now only trigger when the player who opens the crate has priority pickup rights.

IV. Rift Rivalry Optimization

  1. Improved the explanation shown when a Nemesis' Letter is not consumed at the moment Rift Rivalry is initiated.
  2. Adjusted the rank-score restriction for initiating Rift Rivalry — Travelers can now initiate Rift Rivalry even when their rank score is lower than their Rift Nemesis's.

V. In-match Pickup Mechanism

  1. Refined ownership of in-match monster kill rewards: the player who dealt the highest Damage will now receive priority pickup rights when the monster is defeated. (Priority pickup rights for the extra drops from Heavenly Favor·Devil Extermination are still granted to the player who triggered the defeat.)

Feature Optimizations

I. Client

  1. Optimized animation loading.
  2. Improved game launch speed.

Bug Fixes

I. Battle-related Bugs

  1. Fixed an issue in Showdown where Yoto Hime would incorrectly gain an Earth Mark when using an Aegis-break Martial Skill.
  2. Fixed an issue in Showdown where the damage-increase value of Justina Gu's Lv. 21 skill effect was incorrect.
  3. Fixed an issue in Heroes Assemble where Valda Cui's Ultimate Water Spear caused the Almighty General to behave incorrectly.
