The brand-new Potential System and casual mode will go live together after the season update on April 10th. The updated Potential System streamlines the Naraka: Bladepoint experience, lowering the skill barrier for entry and making Naraka: Bladepoint more welcoming for new players. The new Potential System gives players the ability to freely activate nodes that suit their playstyle, experience and skills, while also aiming to encourage variety in player approach to battles.

The Hot Potato Counter is a new game mode introduced in season 12. After a thrilling and intense journey to climb the ranks, players can try out an entertaining variation on the core gameplay and experience a streamlined and more relaxed counter battle. This new mode aims at a more casual and fun experience, adding a ball to the arena, which players attack instead of each other. Attacks, Counters and Skills control the ball until it turns red, which indicates it can be shot towards an enemy or passed to an ally. But watch out: the ball speeds up with every exchange!
