NARAKA: BLADEPOINT Update – Oct. 31, 2024

A lil somethin somethin: You can find the details for this event on the announcement page here.

Dear players,

The servers of NARAKA: BLADEPOINT will be suspended for maintenance from October 30th, 2024 at 23:00 (UTC) to October 31st, 2024 at 04:00 (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: Cyra The chief Divine Healer, the Saint of Dawn. Cyra was widely considered a Lunazran treasure. Yet her former glory and good name were lost, replaced by biting criticism and cruel rumors.
Some named her a heretic, others merely considered her insane. She cared little since the Light's blinding rays would dazzle them so. Cyra is ready to do whatever it takes, entirely unwavering in her quest to champion the Light.

II. New Casual Mode The new Hungry Dragons mode is now available! Use whatever means you have at your disposal to defeat your opponents and make your dragon the longest one!



Rules:
You can queue for this mode Solo or as a Trio, but this mode is always a free-for-all, with a maximum of 12 people.

1. Earn points by collecting Dragon Orbs (EXP items), defeating opponents, leveling up, and attacking opponents' tails.
   
2. Attacking tails degrade the level and grants Dragon Scales (Upgrade items).
   
3. EXP items provide EXP for leveling up and additional Rage. Reaching a higher level increases your maximum Health and Ultimates' attack range.
   
4. Periodic AOE attacks will be triggered by mechanisms in the scene. Use Jump or Crouch to evade as appropriate.

Winning Conditions: Players are ranked based on their total scores at the end of the match.

• Small Dragon Orb: +1; Large Dragon Orb: +3
  
• Defeating a player: +15
  
• Attacking the tail once: +5
  
• Each level at the time of settlement: +10

In the event of a tie in final scores, the winner will be determined by comparing the players' Kill Score, Level Score, and Item Score in that order.

Other Rules:

• Characters gain new powerful Ultimate Moves at Lv. 9 and Lv. 17.
  
• Hitting a mechanism in the battlefield with an Ultimate Move triggers resonance, causing an AOE attack.
