The details for this update are as follows:
Brand-new Content
I. New Hero: Tessa, The Vixen
Sultry but deadly, don't let those tails fool you. Many have fallen prey to her beguiling charms.
A young Herald sharing her soul with an ancient fox spirit, Tessa uses charm and trickery to manipulate any and all into doing her bidding.
She wields sensuality and wit like weapons, weaving a web of pleasure to ensnare her prey. Though her love might feel genuine, the targets of her affection are little more than pawns in her quest to revive the fallen god Sunwing.
The third skill and ultimate are not yet available in this version. Once available, you can complete heroes' Cultivation Quests to unlock them. If you've completed the required Cultivation Quests before upcoming updates, the skill and ultimate will be unlocked automatically.
II. New Mechanism: Congeneric Skill New Mechanism: Congeneric Skill of Greatsword and Polesword is now available.
How to use the move:
Equip both Greatsword and Polesword in the weapon slots;
While performing an attack move with Greatsword or Polesword, you can switch between primary and secondary weapons to execute the resonated move, which enables subsequent "Congeneric Skill".
III. Fight with Tenacity (Newbie Protection) Players below Lv. 20 (this standard will be adjusted according to actual performance in battle) will gain the Tenacity effect in Quick Matches.
The specifics are as follows:
An extra Rebirth (each player can have 2 Rebirth chances until the Shadow Corruption's first advance).
+25% damage reduction.
IV. Crossover Event with NieR is now available "Everything that lives is designed to end. We are perpetually trapped... in a never-ending spiral of life and death."
1. Fairyland Penglai Updates
NARAKA × NieR crossover-themed song "The Flames of Fate" is now available in the background music.
You can now sit on the chairs and benches on Fairyland Penglai.
Updated the appearance of NARAKA Balls on Fairyland Penglai and reactivated their interaction with players.
Redesigned the appearance of the Giant Kitebird and introduced new tour routes; board them at Wind's Abode and Mystoland to experience different tours.
2. Map Updates
Holoroth - Frigid Pools On the Frigid Pools of Holoroth, vast fields of Lunar Tears have bloomed, along with peculiar iron puppets appearing. A strange skull is found among the blooms; what happens if you offer it the Lunar Tears you’ve picked?
The Morus Isle - Cosmic Pillars An anomaly occurred at the Cosmic Pillars: a portal that cannot be closed has opened!
3. New Mechanism - Pod Small accompanying robots appeared in the Morus Isle and Holoroth. Hold the button to interact and awaken these robots. When your Armor is not full, they will provide you with recovery until their stored armor is depleted.
4. Limited-time Event: New Era
During the event, you can select any chapter each day to complete its quests. The quests of each chapter will be unlocked in a timely order. Once you begin exploring a selected chapter, you cannot switch to other chapters on the same day nor complete quests in other chapters. However, you can still claim rewards for completed quests from other chapters. Changing chapters do not change your current quest progress.
Complete all chapter quests to claim the Crossover-Themed Longsword Legendary Skin: [Replicant ·Moonrise].
Complete event quests and pick up Lunar Tears during matches to give them to Emil. Participate in Sky-high Racing to obtain [Bolt], which can be used to redeem the rewards that Pod-24 secretly "acquired" from the game operation system.
Pod-24 has hacked into your friend list, you may sometimes receive messages or rewards from it.
Event Time: From Aug 10th, 2023 Update to Sep 6th, 2023 at 20:00 (UTC)
V. Limited-time Event: Vixen's Trick Red blooms sway, sun-kissed after the rain; fragrant air, a sight to gain.
Event Rules:
Players can obtain Fox Spirit Beads by completing daily and event quests. Fox Spirit Beads can be exchanged for rare rewards.
You must complete an event quest to unlock the next one. You can't complete an event quest before it becomes available.
Completing each event quest will unlock a question. Tap on the spirit fox to answer the question and claim generous rewards when you answer correctly.
VI. Mythic Treasure with Bonus Star - Collections Event Time: From Aug 10th, 2023 Update to Nov 16th, 2023 at 00:00 (UTC)
When opening Mythic Treasures, there is a chance to receive the Extreme Outfit, Star - Nine Tailed Destiny and the Legendary Outfit, Star - 2P.
How to Obtain:
[Star - Nine Tailed Destiny]: There is a chance to get this outfit when obtaining an Extreme cosmetic from Mythic Treasures. Your chances increase as you obtain more Extremes, up to a maximum of 100%.
[Star - 2P]: There is a chance to get this outfit when obtaining a Legendary cosmetic from Mythic Treasures. Your chances increase as you obtain more Legendaries, up to a maximum of 100%.
After you have obtained the Star-Collections listed above, your increased chances will reset to their original level.
The number of Star-Collections that can be obtained from Mythic Treasures is limited. - [Star-Nine Tailed Destiny] has four Constellations that are [Color], [Fox Tail], [Dress Pattern], and [Divine Fox]. - [Star - 2P] has no Constellation and cannot be restyled.
Identifier Rules: Each Star-Collection has its own unique 6-digit code, determined at intervals of 50 by the time at which it was claimed.
It means that the first 50 to claim theirs will have codes (randomly) ranging from 000001-000050, the next 50 from 000051-000100, and so on.
This is not applicable for Star-Collections before this updates, which means the identifier of [Star - Wolf King's Fang] and [Star-Dragon's Bane] remain the same.
Optimized the [Healing Ray] skill and its Talents, altering the logic it uses to choose a link target.
If there's an [Marked] ally in the direction aimed, it links to them.
If not, it links instead to the nearest ally within 30m (prioritizing heroes and Remains, then Light Parasols).
In the event there are no [Marked] allies, and no others to link within 30m, a Light Parasol is summoned in the direction aimed instead.
Optimized the skill [Healing Ray] and all its talent moves.
(1) Slightly increased the attack range of the Horizontal Strike after connecting the target.
(2) The Horizontal Strike after connecting the target now provides 100% damage reduction instead of 70%. During the recovery frames, the damage reduction is 0.
While the healing circle of Ultimates [Purified Circle] or [Purified Circle: Armor] is active, you can recast it by unleashing the Ultimate again. The new circle inherits the old one's remaining time and elemental effects.
The Ultimate [Purified Circle: Rapid] now launches a knock-airborne attack on nearby enemies.
//Dev Note: Kurumi possesses strong rescue and protection capabilities, but her survivability has been slightly lacking through each version update. Therefore, we have adjusted the difficulty of using [Healing Ray] and added additional effects to [Purified Circle] to lower the entry barrier for Kurumi and enhance her survivability.
II. Temulch Improved the operation experience of all [Zephyr Wisp] skill branches:
Jump optimization: slightly increased the jumping height. Now the character's speed when activating the skill will be reset, ensuring consistent jumping height. During the jump phase, you can control the character's movement with directional buttons.
Changed the status during the jump from Blue Focus to Golden Focus.
//Dev Notes: The ability to perform horizontal movement during the jump phase significantly enhances Temulch's mobility. We hope this change addresses the issue of Temulch being easily interrupted by the Uppercut Slash move after skill activation and jumping.
III. Tarka Ji
After activating the Ultimate, Tarka Ji's 2nd-stage dodge (elbow strike) attack can interrupt higher Focus. Now it can interrupt enemies' Purple Focus Strikes.
The damage multiplier for the skill [Flame Force: Fireball] has been adjusted from 2.0 to 2.2.
Tarka Ji now expends 8.5% instead of 9% Rage to cast [Flame Force: Fireball] while [Fire Frenzy: Reload] is in effect.
IV. Valda Cui
The bubble duration of skill [Water Trap: Trinity] has been adjusted from 4 sec to 2.5 sec.
Added a 3-sec CD after throwing the water spear during the Ultimate [Rising Tide: Unchained], preventing consecutive spear throws.
//Dev Notes: Consecutive spear throws with continuous Focus have provided Valda with strong defensive advantages and exerted immense pressure on opponents during gameplay. To balance her offensive and defensive capabilities, we have introduced a CD for consecutive spear throws.
V. Zai
All talents of the skill [Flame Ward] and itself will now exit the [Flame Ward] state when affected by Control effects.
Adjusted the rush action for [Flame Ward] and [Flame Ward: Ignition] to rush toward the aiming direction.
Adjustments to the attack moves of [Chain Scythe] after activating the Ultimate:
Changed the Focus level for the second hit of Horizontal and Vertical Strikes from Golden Focus to Purple Focus.
Increased gravity during Airborne Horizontal Strikes.
The charged move [Chain Link: Suppress] can no longer knock enemies airborne.
Updated the skill description for the Ultimate [Chain Scythe: Afflict].
//Dev Notes: Zai's continuous Horizontal Strikes with [Chain Scythe] made it difficult for opponents to counter, and her Airborne Horizontal Strike mechanism granted her additional survivability and damage output. We have adjusted the performance of the [Chain Scythe] moves to address these issues. Additionally, Zai's ability to continue using [Flame Ward] even under Control effects made it challenging for Control-based Heroes to time their actions correctly when facing Zai. Thus, we have revised the interruption conditions to reduce Zai's margin for error.
VI. Wuchen Optimized the placement of Yin Yang Orbs for Wuchen's Ultimates [Tai Chi Teleport] and [Tai Chi Teleport: Switch], as well as the selection of the aiming point for [Tai Chi Teleport: Portal], reducing potential issues and camera blocking to ensure accurate targeting.
Weapon Adjustments
I. General Adjustments for Melee Weapons Added a grappling button buffer during the execution of the Uppercut Slash move.
//Dev Notes: Combining Uppercut Slash, grappling, and Blink Strike with the Katana or Uppercut Slash, grappling, and Decimator with Dual Halberds is fascinating gameplay. However, the use of the grappling hook mid-combo was leading to combo failures more than we would like due to timing issues. To address this, we have introduced a grappling button buffer during the execution of the Uppercut Slash move, ensuring that you can perform the combo without grappling prematurely. With this input buffer, we hope that more of you will be encouraged to explore and enjoy these combos.
II. Katana Slightly reduced the stagger duration after hitting an enemy with the horizontal strike when sprinting.
III. Staff
Reduced the pursuing effects and camera turning of charged horizontal strikes.
Reduced the stagger duration when hitting enemies lying on the ground by Crouch+Horizontal Strike and Slide+Horizontal Strike.
IV. Spear Reduced the stagger time when hitting enemies lying on the ground by Crouch+Horizontal Strike and Slide+Horizontal Strike.
V. Dual Blades
Slightly reduced the stagger duration after hitting an enemy with the charged Vertical Strike.
Charged Vertical Strike 1st stage damage multiplier: increased from 1.64*3 to 1.79*3.
Charged Vertical Strike 2nd stage damage multiplier: increased from 1.01*6 to 1.12*6.
VI. Longsword Changed the effect when knocking enemies airborne by hitting enemies already in midair by Uppercut Slash.
VII. Greatsword
Reduced the stagger duration when hitting enemies that have been lying on the ground with a Vertical Strike immediately after a Horizontal Strike.
Adjusted the damage multiplier of Brutal Tide from 2.12*2 to 1.27 + 2.97.
VIII. Polesword
Reduced the stagger duration when hitting enemies that have been lying on the ground with a Vertical Strike immediately after a Horizontal Strike.
Adjusted the damage multiplier of Brutal Tide from 2.12*2 to 1.27 + 2.97.
IX. Dual Halberds
Charged Vertical Strike 1st stage damage multiplier: decreased from 0.89*6 to 0.87*6.
Charged Vertical Strike 2nd stage damage multiplier: decreased from 0.85*8 to 0.82*8.
In-game Adjustments
I. Adjustments to Game Mechanics Slightly increased the interaction range of the Wishing Wells.
Out-Game Adjustments
I. Fairyland Penglai Optimizations
Party characters are now visible in the Home interface.
The same button is now used for both switching lobbies and accessing your Bag during a match, and can be reassigned.

2. Added a button for direct jump to custom behavior practice. 3. AI opponents in custom behavior practice will switch weapons and restart commands after being countered. 4. Adjusted the positions of AI opponents and AI allies in general training.

Each player can claim up to 5 rewards per week.
4. Justice Store Updates
Players can team up with "Outstanding Potential" players (those who are below Lv.50 or have not logged in for the past 14 days) in the Justice Chamber, or complete their contract quests to get Journey Coins. Each minute that you've played together grants you 1 Journey Coin. Journey Coin can be redeemed for rewards at the Justice Store·Journey.

Feature Optimizations

All in-game content is available to free players, including all game modes, events, cosmetics, character customization, etc.
