Dear players,

The servers of NARAKA: BLADEPOINT will be suspended for maintenance from Dec 4th, 2024 23:00 (UTC) to Dec 5th, 2024 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

Introducing Lotus Souljades, with Ice, Thunder, and Poison Element combinations!
Potential levels have been reset, and we have adjusted the effects of existing Potentials, while adding new Lotus-related Potentials, providing a wider range of combo selections!
5. Catch-Up Points
Upon finishing a stage with at least 15 Fatiguecost, the Souljade reward targets you've failed to meet will be granted as Catch-Up Points.
Spend 600 Fatigue to convert Catch-Up Points into Legendary/Epic Souljades or Carved Crystals.
Catch-Up Points are not carried over from week to week, and are reset to 0 every Wednesday 20:00 (UTC)
Newly added Hero Badge: Against All Odds, serves as a counter for the matches where you've earned Catch-Up Points. By upgrading the Hero Badge, you will get Carved Crystal, Souljade Fragment, Exhilarating Elixir, Flux Shards as rewards.
//Dev Note: We have been closely monitoring the loot experience since the launch of Showdown mode. In this mode, luck significantly influences the results because the loot distribution is inherently random. So, when there is a significant disparity between the effort invested and the rewards received, it may lead to disappointment.
We are introducing a new catch-up points feature to compensate for lower rewards when luck isn't on your side. At the same time, this preserves the experience of earning greater rewards when luck is favorable. As a result, the overall loot rewards have been improved.
