The 'Heng Sword' is Now Available in Naraka: Bladepoint

Players who have fantasies of becoming a samurai can wield the new congeneric weapon in Naraka: Bladepoint called the Heng Sword. This weapon, along with various changes and improvements, is now available via the game's latest update.

New Weapon

The Heng Sword is a famous weapon that was predominantly used during the Tang Dynasty in China. It is said to be the precursor to the katana, which is a type of sword utilized by Japanese samurais of old.

That said, this weapon is now available to use in Naraka: Bladepoint. Heng Sword wielders have access to some pretty cool moves. For instance, the "Shadow Step" allows players to quickly move to the back of their targets after performing a slash. This puts them in a more favorable position to initiate an almost unavoidable strike.

Players can also perform a series of slashes that can make quick work of the enemy. In addition, the Heng Sword has a unique skill called Aurora Burst, which prompts players to bury the weapon to the ground before numerous slashes damage opponents.

With this new weapon, players can beat the competition if they are able to string multiple combos successfully.

New Battle Pass

The Season 11 battle pass for Naraka: Bladepoint, which the company calls the "Righteous Treasure Scroll," is now available as well. This battle pass offers some pretty cool-looking cosmetics. The "Falling Ice" weapon skin for the Musket is a perfect example of this.

Other notable cosmetics included in the Righteous Treasure Scroll are:

"Moonlit Attire" outfit for Viper Ning
"Martial Infinity: Shaolin" skin for Tianhai
"Midnight Silk" outfit for Hadi
"Hidden Edge" skin for the Longsword
"Vermillion Wax" skin for the Heng Sword
"Martial Infinity: Demon's Bane" skin for the Staff
"Martial Infinity: Shaolinquan" legendary gesture

Chat Bubble

Players who want to customize the look of the in-game chat can now purchase the new Chat Bubbles. Three chat bubbles have been introduced in this update, namely:

Star - Wolf King's Fang
Star - Nine-tailed Destiny
Star - Florescent Cryolite

These can be obtained by unlocking the Star-Collections with the same titles. Star-Collections in Naraka: Bladepoint is a series of cosmetics that can be drawn at random by opening themed chests.
