The details for this update are as follows:
Brand-new content! I. A New Episode of Showdown
1. New Level: Gelid Yushan Among the mist around Yushan Snowy Peaks, countless heroes had gambled their lives for that ancient artifact.
It's time to meet this new boss, the Matron of Yushan, on the top of Yushan Ruins.
2. New Hero Joined: Tianhai This humble monk transforms into a colossal Vajra warrior, all those who stand in his path shall fall. In Showdown, Tianhai has a new ability to "Counter" after transforming into Vajra. The Counterstrike combo is enhanced when equipped with the exclusive Souljade that enhances the ultimate, and the Boss is staggered for a longer period.
3. New Mode: Enigma Domain In the game of Enigma Domain, monsters grow stronger over time. Before time runs out, the more monsters you defeat, the more rewards you will win. Come and explore the Enigma Domain, there are loads of new Souljades await!
4. New Type of Omens: Frostbite Omens Affected by Matron of Yushan, many Omens turn into [Frostbite Omens] which accumulate heroes' Frostbite. When Frostbite reaches a certain amount, the hero will be frozen. Equipping Souljades with [Ice-wielding] attribute can help to resist the effect brought by Frostbite Omens.
5. Showdown Souljade: Ice-wielding In the new updates, there's a chance to get Souljade with [Ice-wielding] attribute in all Showdown levels. Meanwhile, [Ice Essence] can be obtained by completing weekly challenges. [Ice Essence] can imbue [Ice-wielding] to the those Souljades without this attribute. Attacking monsters with [Ice-wielding] Souljades can accumulate Frostbite of the monsters. When Frostbite reaches a certain amount, ice blast will be triggered and cause damage to monsters' Astral Aegis. Each [Ice-wielding] Souljade you equip increases you [Ice-wielding] by 1. Higher levels of [Ice-wielding] deals more damage to Astral Aegis and can better resist Frostbite Omens.
6. Showdown Souljade In the updates, 30 new Showdown Souljades are now available, which include: (1) 7 Ice Souljades of melee weapon, 6 of ranged weapon an 4 of other special effect. (2) Exclusive Souljades that enhance Tianhai, Temulch and Matari's ultimates. (3) Defuse·Dash(Counterattack) & (Concentrate), Defuse·Combo(Counterattack) & (Concentrate). (4) 5 Souljades that enhance ranged attack and Weaponry Chest Boon.
II. Feria Shen's new skill [Gunplay: Aim] and ultimate [Mech Mayhem: Co-pilot] are now available
[Gunplay: Aim] Leap backward and raise the gun, aim and shoot with high damage and mark enemies with [Silence] for 3 sec. Move the crosshair while using this skill to adjust the leap direction.
[Mech Mayhem: Co-pilot] Set a beacon at the target point and knock nearby enemies airborne. Feria and allies can pilot [Bronze Mech] by interacting with the beacon. Compared to ultimate [Mech Mayhem], the [Bronze Mech] summoned by beacon has lower Health. When shooting enemies, it deals higher damage and builds Energy faster (but its own Energy recovery speed is slower).
III. Adjustments to Holoroth Map 1. Adjustments to the route of Temple of Light and Shadow: (1) Added two more entrances with direct access to the inner hall at the front of the right wing. (2) Added two more entrances to the out wall of the right wing. (3) Added a breach to the rear of the left wing.
2. The ceiling height of the basement of the Temple of Light and Shadow was reduced by 2m. 3. Added exits to some of the buildings in the City of Tang that have only doors. 4. Added two new Scout Bells to the right side of the Plumed Castle.
Hero Adjustments I. Feria Shen 1. Slightly increased the range of the Swarm for Bronze Mech under all talents. 2. Optimized the pitch angle view of Bronze Mech in cannon mode under all talents. Now, Bronze Mech can aim enemies at its feet more easily in cannon mode.
II. Tarka Ji 1. Increased the Energy cost of the second-stage dodge (elbow strike) from 67% to 83% of the normal dodge's energy cost when Tarka Ji casts his ultimate [Blackout] and all of his talents. 2. Adjusted the attack range of the 2nd stage dodge (elbow strike) under his ultimates. Taka Ji can no longer hit enemies on the ground in flat terrain. //Dev Note: Tarka Ji's elbow strike, which has a low Energy cost, gives him the upper hand in a 1v1 battle. Enemies knocked down have no countermeasures against Taka Ji's elbow strike. Therefore, we adjusted the energy cost and attack range of Tarka Ji's elbow strike so his enemies could counter him.
Weapon Adjustments I. General Adjustments for Ranged Weapons Optimized the sound effects of Musket and Pistol.
II. Staff 1. Adjusted the Focus of the second strike of [Heaven Uproar] to Golden. 2. Slightly prolonged the staggering time after using [Relentless Lunge] (put off the time point to enable dodging and doing combo).

Increased the airborne Vertical Strike Damage Multiplier from 1.56+0.15 to 1.73+0.17. //Dev Note: Compared with other weapons, Dagger possesses more combat options. Thus we've made this adjustment for other weapons to make it less difficult to confront Dagger, and increased the airborne Vertical Strike Damage for the Dagger.
Souljade Adjustment I. Longsword Souljade Reduced the stagger time of both players after [Hepta-Detach] hits.
Special Souljades for Spring Festival, [Spring Festival·Firework] and [Spring Festival·Firecracker] are removed from Quick Match, Shadow Surge, Through the Fire, Omni's Nightmare and BOT Mode.

Rule Adjustments (1) Adjustments to Calculation of Damage to Astral Aegis: The Astral Aegis damage dealt by the character to monsters has been adjusted from being calculated based on the damage dealt to the target's health by the character to the damage multiplier of the character's strikes. After the adjustment, the Astral Aegis damage dealt by the character to monsters will no longer be affected by the character's [Attack], [Damage Bonus] and other damage boost buffs. (2) Adjustments to the rules of rage recovery: The rage recovery effect of a character attacking has been adjusted from being calculated based on the damage dealt to the target's health by the character to the damage multiplier of the character's strikes.

IV. Showdown Souljade Sense Development Adjustments 1. Max sense level raised from 350 to 400. 2. Optimized how the Showdown Souljade enhancement is calculated. The EXP gained by Showdown Souljades when they approach the Sense cap of the current version will no longer diminish. 3. Decreased the guaranteed base EXP that a low-level Showdown Souljade can provide when used as a consumable for Showdown Souljade enhancement. 4. Adjusted the rules for generating high Sense level Souljades in the weekly rewards of Showdown based on max Sense level. 5. Increased the Sense level range of the Showdown Souljades that dropped in Hard and Nightscream levels in The Morus Isle. The upgrade speed of Hero Sense thus will be accelerated by playing in these levels.
V. Showdown Hero Cultivation Adjustments When the current Hero Sense Level is greatly higher than the recommended Sense Level, the Exp will be reduced by a certain at the settlement.
VI. Showdown Drops Adjustments 1. Adjusted the exclusive Showdown Souljades dropped n [Omnius Descent·Nightscream], [Desert Tribulations·Nightscream], and [Immovable·Nightscream]. 2.

Eliminating opponents weigh higher on the score settlement gradually as you improve your rank, while the other combat actions will gradually weigh lower. (Slight effect on players ranking Solar and Empyrean. Great effect on players ranking Astral and Asura) //Dev Note: In the Clash League, we tried to use the number of eliminating opponents (Elimination: Cairn of the enemy you defeated runs out of Health.) instead of other combat actions as the basis for calculating scores to prevent players from win-trading and it worked well. So, we decided to introduce this set of rules into The Herald's Trial mode. 2. Meanwhile, counts for elimination will be added to other related interfaces.
II. Feature Optimizations 1. Adjustments to The Bloodbath (1) Reduced the size of the Holoroth map: The Bloodbath. (2) Added Scout Bells to The Bloodbath so it would be easier for players to find their opponents. 2. Optimized the running performance after quitting sliding from the slope.

Hero Adjustments
I. Kurumi The Damage Reduction provided when cutting the link of skill [Binding Prayer: Guard] has been adjusted from "99% for 2.5 sec" to "90% for 4 sec".
II. Valda Cui Adjustments to [Nether Nightmare]'s oceanic energy: now the oceanic energy will uplift Valda Cui and offer a chance of water spear attack whether it hits an enemy or not. Besides, the water spear can also interrupt [Blackout]. //Dev Note: In combat, once Valda Cui's ultimate misses its target, players will suffer a great loss because of the Rage consumption rule of her V1 and skill characteristics. So we improved the lower limit of the ultimate's effect.
III. Feria Shen 1. Optimized Bronze Mech's running and jumping actions, as well as Feria Shen's performance while piloting Bronze Mech. 2. Optimized [Gunplay: Scattershot]'s action and hit feel. 3. Adjusted the display of Bronze Mech's durability to make it visible to teammates. 4. Increased the effective radius of damage reduction from 7m to 15m when enabling [Overclock] under the ultimate [Mech Mayhem: Restore]. //Dev Note: Here's a notice for controller players, when piloting the Bronze Mech, operation mode of the controller will be changed into Ranged Weapon mode.

Weapon Adjustments
I. Dual Blades Appropriately increase the duration of the Focus when charging Horizontal Strike on spot, and the Focus status ends when you move.
II. Staff Slightly decrease the startup frames of Counterstrike.
Souljade Adjustments
I. Spring Festival Souljades Special Souljades for Spring Festival, [Spring Festival·Firework] and [Spring Festival·Firecracker] are added in Quick Match, Shadow Surge, Through the Fire, Omni's Nightmare and BOT Mode.
Combat Adjustments
I. Adjustments to Calculation of Damage Reduction: Now according to different sources, damage reductions are divided into [Item Damage Reduction], [Ultimate Skill Damage Reduction], [Talent Skill Damage Reduction] and [Weapon Damage Reduction]. Reductions from the same sources are added up with an upper limit of 90%, while those from different sources are multiplied. After the updates, the final damage reduction by multiplying will be slightly reduced. But damage reduction of a single kind remains unchanged. For example: when Justina Gu casts [Ice Core], she has 70% [Talent Skill Damage Reduction] during the preparation stage. If her teammate Yueshan casts Formation Roar as Almighty General, all team members will get the [Immovable] effect that grants 35% [Talent Skill Damage Reduction]. Now with Justina Gu's 70% [Talent Skill Damage Reduction], her final damage reduction is 90% because the sum of the two effects exceeds the upper limit of 90%. Thus Justina Gu only takes 10% of the original damage. If Justina Gu has the 10% [In-game Item Damage Reduction] from [Salak] simultaneously, the final damage she will take is: (1-90%) * (1-10%) = 9%.
II. Adjustments to Calculation of Damage Bonus: Now all damage bonuses are added up. After the updates, the final damage bonus by multiplying is slightly reduced. But damage bonus of a single kind remains unchanged. For example: in Showdown, players will get 50% damage bonus after triggering [Desperation]'s 30% and [Outrage]'s 20% at the same time.
Showdown Adjustments
I. Combat Adjustments Reduced the performance of [Omnius·Hell Scorch] and [Omnius·Rock]'s strikes when blocking ranged attacks.

[Niter Jade] now will automatically respawn 30s after being used and become available again.
III. Attribute Adjustments "Charged Attack Damage Bonus" and "Non-charged Attack Damage Bonus" are changed to "Apart from the original melee Charged and Non-charged attack damage bonus, it also takes effect on ranged weapons' Charged and Non-charged attack."

Added Chapter 4 of Valda Cui's Heroic Tales.
III. Justice Chamber 1. When players are removed from the Justice Chamber, the activeness they've contributed will be deducted. 2. If players have rewards that have not been claimed when they are removed from the Justice Chamber, they will be distributed via email, please claim them in time. 3.

At NetEase games and 24 Entertainment, we are creating an ever-evolving combat experience that's dedicated to you, our players. From a huge new map to two increasingly expansive chapters in the showdown campaign, new weapons, and heroes, we are committed to crafting the best possible experience.
That’s why we’re asking for your support; and to please nominate NARAKA: BLADEPOINT for the ‘Labor of Love’ award at the 2022 steam awards.

2. Congeneric Weapons One produces two; two produce three; three produce all. The new weapon "Staff" and "Spear", which you're already familiar with both belong to the category of "Long-handle Weapon", and are called as Congeneric Weapons. Though trying to lower the starting difficulty of the new weapon as much as possible, we will still bring you a brand-new combat experience and the fun of the game. (1) Congeneric Strike: Staff has the same horizontal and vertical strike combos as Spear. (2) Congeneric Souljade: [Spear Sap] is renamed as [Long-handle Weapon Sap] and is now a shared Souljade for Staff and Spear together with [Dual Ring].

Adjusted to: Triggers [Inspiration Shield] if the player is attacked within 8 seconds (12 seconds in Duos/Trios Mode) after the player absorbed Spiritual Energy, lasting 5 seconds (8 seconds in Duos/Trios Mode). The effect ends in advance after taking 450 damages. 2. Adjusted the effects of Inspiration Shield for Ziping Yin's Skills [Aromatherapy: Embrace] and [Aromatherapy: Protection]. Inspiration Shield now cannot negate the freezing effects of Justina Gu's Ultimate [Arctic Wraith] [Shadowswipe], the airborne effect of Temulch's Skill [Zephyr Wisp] and the stagger effect of being smashed by Vajra. //Dev Note: Inspiration Shield makes Ziping Yin escape easily in Solo Mode. Therefore, we decreased its duration and threshold of damage taken. 3. Adjusts Ziping Yin's Ultimates (1) Adjusted the basic Recovery effect per second of [Saving Grace] from 35 Health + 30 Armor to 45 Health. The additional Health recovered will be converted to Armor. (2) Adjusted the basic Recovery effect per second of [Saving Grace: Aegis] from 30 Health + 30 Armor to 35 Health. The additional Health recovered will be converted to Armor. //Dev Note: Ziping Yin's Ultimate [Saving Grace] takes effect slowly, continues for a long time, and won't cost all Rage immediately after casting. Therefore, we made it more flexible to cast. It used to recover both Health and Armor simultaneously, which inevitably made players tend to cast it when they had low Health or Armor. Therefore, we adjusted the recovery mechanism to stabilize the benefits gained from casting it.
