New Hero: Lannie
The highlight of the NARAKA: BLADEPOINT Spring Festival update is the new hero, Lannie, a master of traditional conjuring. However, her cursed fate caused the deaths of those close to her, including her parents. Rescued and raised by a stargazer, she eventually found herself in the Morus Isle. Determined to change her destiny, Lannie has joined the trials to claim the Mask of Immortality.
During the battle, Lannie can use her special cloth to knock back enemies and vanish into stealth or leap for quick movement, unleashing attacks to send foes airborne. Her ultimate ability harnesses the power of a silk ‘Trick Ball’, dealing massive damage with moves likeMighty Smash and Aerial Strike.
Lannie’s combat style is inspired by the ancient art of Chinese acrobatics, blending traditional performance techniques into her gameplay design. We aim to introduce players to the beauty and mystique of Chinese cultural heritage, believing that Lannie’s dazzling combat style will add more festive joy to the Spring Festival celebrations.
New Spring Festival Treasure Box
The new “Creation of Heaven and Earth” themed treasure box will debut with the Spring Festival update. Drawing inspiration from the legend of Pangu splitting the chaos to form the world, the Treasure box symbolizes the boundless power of creation and a fresh start for the new year.
It introduces the new series of Star-Collections, including Zai’s Extreme Outfit, Legendary Skin of Bow, along with other Collections such as Lannie’s Extreme Outfit, all featuring rich Chinese New Year elements that enhance the festive atmosphere.
Spring Festival-Themed Events
A host of exciting events await players during the Spring Festival. Inspired by the God of Wealth, the special Wishing Event invites players to visit Fairyland Penglai, make heartfelt wishes before the deity, and earn rare in-game items to bring great fortune and prosperity for the coming year.
