Naraka: Bladepoint: Latest Update Rounds Out Zai's Abilities

Do you like playing Zai in the martial arts battle royale Naraka: Bladepoint? Well, you might be thrilled to know that the recent update has added her last two abilities, namely Flame Ward: Firestorm and Chain Scythe: Afflict.

When Flame Ward: Firestorm is activated, Zai jumps into the air and transforms into a Flame Ward. While in the air, she enters aiming mode where she can decide where to land; she also cannot be hit with attacks during this time. After a brief period, she crashes down to the targeted location, dealing damage and knocking enemies airborne, burning them to a crisp in the process.

Her ultimate ability, Chain Scythe: Afflict, is pretty interesting. When used, Zai switches her current weapon to a magical chain scythe for 30 seconds. Her vertical and horizontal strikes are different when her ultimate is active. Every attack puts a mark on the enemy, and if they've accumulated two marks, pressing V unleashes a damaging move called Splinter Soul.
