A new crossover hero named Ziping Yin has been added to Naraka: Bladepoint in the latest update.
Ziping Yin was originally from a mobile game called A Chinese Ghost Story for those who don’t know. Anyway, her buffs and abilities make her a valuable asset to the team.
Her first ability is called Aromatherapy and when used, she unleashes Ligneous Energy to create Spiritual Twigs. Allies who come close to these twigs will have their HP and armor restored instantly. Moreover, damage reduction is increased by 20% within the next five seconds.
The other version of Aromatherapy called Aromatherapie: Umarmen works a bit differently. Instead of restoring HP and armor, the Spiritual Twigs summoned will make allied units absorb Spiritual Energy and gain inspiration for 12 seconds.
Her second ability called Saving Grace allows her to restore all of her allies’ HP and armor by constantly consuming Rage. This also increases all restoration capability by 30%. Ziping Yin gains Sedate Soul at full rage, which will consume all her ultimate energy when triggered.
Sedate Soul is an ability that allows Ziping Yin to negate one fatal strike, in addition to knocking nearby enemies airborne. Not only that but it restores 300 HP instantly and increases damage reduction by 20% within five seconds as well. This will let her survive situations where enemies are ganging up on her.
The latest update still has plenty to offer and you can read some of them below:
- 5 Regions: Plumed Castle, Mehtaab, City of Tang, Empyreal Village, and Yushan Ruins.
- (Yushan Ruins is unavailable now: In northwestern Holoroth sits the inaccessible Snowy Peaks that have been ice-bound for years. But something abnormal is plotting inside Snowy Peaks these years, evident in the abrupt cracks on the ice. Perhaps the ice will melt soon.)
- Thorny Roller: Maintains cyclic motion, knocks players airborne once touched, and deals a huge amount of damage.
- Trap Clip: Interact with it to set a trap. Deals a small amount of damage to enemies stepping on it and bans Grappling Hook and Tracking for a certain time.
- Spikes: Knocks players airborne once entering the trap and deals damage. There is a cooldown.
- Cactus: Activated by player attacks, deals ranged damage to nearby players and knocks players hit to a far distance.
- Falcon Statues: Keep updating four statues in the Salvation Podium until they face their respective correct direction, in which case mysterious treasures will appear.
- Campfire: Interact with it to disperse the Chill brought by the Snowstorm.
- Rising Wind: Strengthens the jumping ability of players within range.
- Ghostly Hand: Silences the objectives attacked by it for a while.
The full patch notes can be found on Steam.
Naraka: Bladepoint is available on the Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
