New Weapon: Dual Blades Steam
The martial arts battle royale game Naraka: Bladepoint got an update that added a new weapon, which has the damage potential that will strike fear in the hearts of many.
The Dual Blades are now available in Naraka: Bladepoint. This fast pair of weapons give players some cool new abilities when equipped. For instance, players can initiate a series of slashes at great speed by using Severance . There’s also the Belladonna Sprint where players can dash toward the enemy and perform Severance immediately after. Then, there’s Petal Fall Flurry that unleashes a flurry of hacks and slashes, enveloping foes in energy blasts from the blades in the process.
Aside from the new weapon, some balancing changes have been implemented that affect certain heroes. The extra slashes from Yoto Hime’s ultimate, Ominous Blade: Combo, has their damage multiplier reduced to 1.6. On top of that, Justina Gu’s Shadowswipe base damage multiplier has been reduced to 0.1.
