S20 New Hero: The Astrologist, Tara Gan

Through many a restless night of starbound study, Tara Gan mastered the fate-shaping secrets of the Astrolabe, and grew to become the greatest Astrologist in the land. With but a single glance skyward, time itself answers her call, and the outcome of any battle reveals itself.

Tara Gan is a support and buffer who can grant her allies a second chance at life while keeping her enemies under control. Her F skill lets her protect herself, heal allies, and control enemies in an area.

Her powers stem from her ability to foresee the future and manipulate space. Her ultimate can even cheat death, restoring its target to the state they were in just seconds before.

NARAKA: BLADEPOINT's newest hero, the Astrologist Tara Gan, arrives mid–Season 20. May this master of fate help you defy destiny.

Talents System Update

We'll be rolling out a new round of Talent updates in the upcoming Oracle Season, focused on two key areas:

In the Spirit branch, we're adding new Silence on Counter nodes. Some dodge-related talents will also be moved into every character's base kit, giving players more freedom in how they build. We're also giving the Body tree a boost to overall survivability.

In the Strategy branch, minor nodes will focus on generating income more quickly, while medium nodes enhance gear acquisition. The reworked Strategy Spender talent will also make it easier to convert economic advantages into real late-game power.

Two New Game Modes Update: Strategic Battles and Chaotic Fun

Two distinct new game modes will also be launched within Naraka: Bladepoint, offering players a fresh in-game experience. The first new mode, River Runs Red, features a unique dual-realm structure: the Outer World and the Inner World. Players can engage in PvE exploration and puzzle-solving within the Outer World, and seamlessly transition to the Inner World to participate in large-scale PvP battles. This innovative design delivers the thrills of both solitary exploration and multiplayer combat within a single, cohesive mode.

The entertainment mode - The Evelotion focuses on a more chaotic and ability-powered spin on the battle royale formula. With more revival opportunities and lower stakes, this mode encourages players to engage in more diverse and entertaining gameplay.
