NARAKA: BLADEPOINT's July 30 update adds Ye Xiu and Kaleidoscope Parasol

Servers are offline July 29, 2026 23:00 UTC–July 30, 2026 04:00 UTC. The patch adds The King's Avatar crossover hero Ye Xiu, the Kaleidoscope Parasol, Showdown's new Boundless mode, limited-time events, and a refreshed Myriad Treasure.

Ye Xiu — three-peat champion, 37 straight wins, four-time MVP — joins. His Extreme outfit [The King's Avatar·Lord Grim] is a Myriad Treasure draw with a Shadow Walk effect on defeat and a Grand Heights form. The Kaleidoscope Parasol shifts between open and wrist-blade states; its Extreme skin [2674·Phase Canopy] changes Kaleidoscope·Shift hit effects.

Myriad Treasure opens July 30 at 04:00 UTC for 360 Gold, first 10 draws 50% off. Guarantees: Extreme within 100 draws, Legendary within the first 25 then every 25 after (up to 14), plus Wishing for a specific Legendary.

Heroes fall into Omnius's illusion. Solo and Trios each run Celestra, Shadowjade Mine, and Shipwreck Expanse; final score is the total across stages. Custom Omens give multiplicative score multipliers. Reusing a Hero/Souljade/Curio across a mode's stages deducts score; Trios won't auto-fill.

All-time top scores unlock a deluxe Showdown Profile Background and Aura Effects. Weekly leaderboards award limited-time Titles to the Top 500, Top 100, and Top 10.
