Autumn flows on like surging waves, as warriors slice through foes like willow leaves dancing upon water.

The new weapon Dual Blades will be available. Come and try it out for yourself!

 

II. New Event: [Double-Edged]

Event Time: 06/23/2022 04:00 – 07/01/2022 20: 00 (UTC) 

Event Rules:

Gain Whetstones by completing quests during the event. Whetstones can be redeemed for great event rewards.

 

III. New Event [Sunwing Solstice]

The world bristles with Yang energies as the Summer Solstice arrives.

It's unknown when it first appeared, but out on Morus Isle, there stands a Solstice Altar.

A most peculiar sensation, as if one's inner Yang energies were reaching out toward the altar, overcame all heroes who approached its location.

And once the Solstice Altar was activated, Plumes were found scattered across Morus Isle.

The people came to realize that, once taken to Sunwing's Rest, these Plumes were absorbed into the air around them. Not only that, however. Sunwing's Rest itself began to change slowly as it absorbed them...

Event Time: 06/28/2022 20: 00 (UTC) – 07/13/2022 20: 00 (UTC) 

Event Rules:

1. Gain [Plumes] and [Event Points] by completing quests during the event.

2. During match preparation stages, players must gather their efforts to activate the altar upon the center of Origin Island. Having done so, they'll receive [Plumes] upon opening gold or green Troves. Up to 10 [Plumes] can be obtained from matches per day (this excludes those from Omni's Nightmare and Bloodsport).

3. Submit Plumes to gain event points. You gain 10 points for each.

4. A [Summer Solstice Gift] is awarded for every 20 [Plumes] submitted.

5. Event rewards are granted once players reach a set score total. The point maximum is 3,000, granting all event rewards once reached.

6. Every [Plume] submitted increases the Total Points figure by 1, and once it reaches its maximum, all players will be rewarded 1 [Fortune Treasure].

*Note: Remember to claim your rewards before the event ends, or you'll miss out.

 

IV. New mode: Omni's Nightmare

1. Choose your Faction

You can choose your preferred Faction before each match, influencing who is assigned to each side.

2. In-game Content

1) Spirit Echoes: Heroes can now gain up to two passive buffs in the form of Spirit Echoes. These include 'Golden Rattan', 'Light's Rage', 'Lethal Armor', 'Copper Ward', 'Explosive Shot' and 'Beckon'. Evil-Ents may choose two from 'Hook Axe', 'Enrage', 'Split Axe', 'Eagle Vision', 'Miasma Rattan' and 'Eternal' to replace their default skills, ultimates or moves. (Check the Narakapedia for details.)

2) Check Faction info for the current match and allocate your Spirit Echoes during preparation.

3) Rattan is found around the map, but only grows near Soul Lanterns. Evil-Ents can damage Soul Lanterns to remove the Rattan, yet heroes can repair the Soul Lanterns in turn, allowing Rattan to respawn once more. Once all Rattan near Soul Lanterns have been taken, some respawn every 4 sec (or immediately when a Soul Lantern is repaired) until the respawn cap is reached.

4) Heroes now have gold Focus during the last second they submit Rattan.

5) Soul Lanterns can be repaired by multiple players at once, speeding up their repairs.

6) Ballista spawn at random spots along the tracks. Heroes must spend 10,000 Dark Tide Coins to unlock them before they can be used, however.

7) Once the match has been underway for a set time, heroes will no longer be able to Rebirth. However, Evil-Ents will also drop more Rattan when defeated.

8) The 'Nearby chat' voice channel has now been replaced with 'Faction chat'. Team chat has been added for those players who join the match as a party. Toggle Open Mic or switch voice channels in Settings - Audio.

9) Improved the sorting of Rift Dealers' items.

10) Improved the balance between Heroes and Evil-Ents in Omni's Nightmare:

i. Lowered Evil-Ents' base attack, while increasing their attack gained with each level.

ii. Changed randomly-spawned Soul Sparks' initial progress to 34%

iii. Now 2 Rattans will be dropped when Heroes defeat the Evil-Ents. When Heroes’ Rebirths have been deducted, the dropping amount will be 5.

3. Game Settlement

1) Once the match ends, you're shown a settlement page including the winning faction's top 3 players.

The match stats interface has been completely overhauled: it now includes the heroes selected, specific mode achievements, and more.
