Mastering Naraka Blade Point: Top 5 Heroes to Begin Your Journey

So, you’re interested in Naraka Blade Point but unsure which hero to choose as your main character? No worries! We’ll simplify things and explore the five best heroes for new players in Naraka Blade Point.

In celebration of its second anniversary, Naraka Blade Point is now completely free to play starting from July 14, 2023. With over 20 million players worldwide, this is the perfect time to jump into the game. You can enjoy it on PC, Xbox, and now, PlayStation 5.

If you’re unfamiliar with the game, let’s start with a quick overview. Naraka Blade Point is a melee-focused PvP battle royale game with a mythical Asian theme. It offers a similar vibe to Jade Empire, capturing the attention of old BioWare fans. While PvP survival matches are at the core of Naraka, there is also a variety of PvE and co-op content for those who prefer less competitive gameplay.

After completing the tutorial, you might find yourself wondering, “What do I do now?” In the early game, your goal should be to level up your account and familiarize yourself with the basic movesets of the starter characters. To achieve this, I recommend completing survival matches in bot mode, which essentially provides a PvE battle royale experience. This will give you the necessary experience to reach account level 20, unlocking survival matches against real players.

Before diving into true PvP, it’s best to test and learn the basics with the starter characters. This will help you understand your preferred playstyle and how to effectively use your chosen hero. As of now, the game begins with seven unlocked characters: Viper Ning, Temulch, Matari, Tarka Ji, Kurumi, Tianhai, and Yoto Hime. For new players, the top recommendations are Temulch, Yoto Hime, and Viper Ning. We’ll also cover how to unlock other characters. Make sure to explore the talents page, as each character has a unique skill and ultimate ability.

To find the most powerful builds for your favorite character, try them out in free training mode to learn their basic talents and get a feel for their playstyle. Once you’re comfortable, take them into a bot mode match for further practice and memorization.

Now, let’s dive into the top 3 heroes for beginners in Naraka Blade Point:

1. Viper Ning: This blindfolded ninja lady, the poster character of Naraka, offers an aggressive playstyle focused on stunning opponents and taking control of the battlefield. Her upgraded skill, Yushan Enigma Lockdown, is incredibly powerful due to the silence debuff that prevents enemy skill or ability usage for 8 seconds. For her ultimate, the final version is essential, allowing you to mark and silence enemies while freely moving and attacking.

2. Temulch: A versatile and powerful character, Temulch strikes a perfect balance between offense and defense. His Zephyr Wisp ability can break combos, block incoming projectiles with summoned sand wisps and immobilize enemies by launching sand projectiles. His ultimate summons a giant sandstorm barrier that knocks back and slows enemies, making it useful for defense or closing the gap to finish off opponents.

3. Yoto Hime: With a well-balanced and powerful kit, Yoto Hime is an excellent choice for beginners. Her skill summons a spinning blade around her, providing recovery options and a chance to heal. The ultimate ability launches Yoto Hime into the air while summoning a gigantic blade to strike opponents. Overall, Yoto Hime offers an enjoyable and effective playstyle for new players.

As you level up your account and complete challenges, you’ll earn Tae coins that can be used to unlock new characters and cosmetics from the shop. Naraka Blade Point does not follow a pay-to-win or gacha model, allowing you to unlock all characters through gameplay progression. No need to rely on a credit card to increase your combat power or spin gacha wheels. Additionally, gear used in matches is found during the matches themselves.

Looking beyond the starter heroes, Akos Hu and Zai are two notable characters worth unlocking. Akos Hu, channeling the energy of a spirit tiger, offers damage reduction and knockback abilities. Zai, the newest addition, wields a chain blade and can set foes on fire while possessing immunity and knockback skills.

In conclusion, these are the top five heroes to begin your journey in Naraka Blade Point. Choose one that suits your playstyle and start your adventure today!
