NetEase Games and 24 Entertainment have officially launched Ye Xiu, the protagonist of acclaimed anime The King’s Avatar, as a free playable hero in NARAKA: BLADEPOINT. The update arrives as part of the game’s fifth‑anniversary celebration, marking a major milestone for the martial arts battle royale.
Players can claim Ye Xiu directly from their in‑game mailbox at no cost. A premium skin for his signature weapon, the Kaleidoscope Parasol, is also available for free through a limited‑time event.
A Fast, Tactical Fighter
Ye Xiu’s combat style mirrors his anime counterpart’s tactical approach. His kit emphasizes rapid movement, counterattacks, and flexible combo chains, offering both area‑of‑effect damage and single‑target burst. This makes him one of the most versatile heroes in the game, with virtually no weaknesses.
NARAKA: Bladepoint’s First Transforming Weapon
The Kaleidoscope Parasol is the first weapon in NARAKA: BLADEPOINT that can transform mid‑battle. Players can freely switch between Parasol, Shield, and Axe forms, adapting to different combat scenarios with fluid transitions between defense, mobility, and raw power.
