After two years, Naraka Bladepoint is now free-to-play for all major platforms, including Xbox Series and PlayStation 5. Since the game wasn’t released on therse platforms at first, many new players have joined this hectic melee Battle Royale game in the last couple of days. If you are new to the game, check out our guide on the best characters for beginners and an explanation of all the modes available. Apart from those guides, we’ve gathered a few tricks and tips to help beginners in Naraka Bladepoint.
Know Where to Drop Yourself
One of the best features of Naraka Bladepoint is that the game tells you where the good loot is and where most players are dropping in. The yellow areas are where the good loot is, and the red areas are where most players have selected to be dropped in. This is a great feature for that helps beginners in Naraka Bladepoint stay away from fights until they learn the game properly. This can give them a chance to decide whether they want to go straight into fighting or go far and instead loot good items.
The latter is the best option for the new players. This way, you can avoid getting into big fights with multiple teams and gather good loot. Apart from that, you will have the advantage of getting yourself familiar with the game’s controls and the map as well.
Know When and Where to Heal Yourself
Like every Battle Royale game, it takes some time to heal yourself. First, try to get away from the fight and then heal yourself if there aren’t any enemies. If you see your friends fighting and they have good health, it’s ok to leave the battle for a few seconds and heal yourself. It is always better to stay alive than to get knocked down constantly. Here is a tip or trick that beginners must use in Naraka Bladepoint to avoid getting hit while healing: spamming the crouch button. Most hits are above the torso, so when you crouch and uncrouch constantly, players have a harder time hitting you while you are healing.
Avoid Going Solo at First
It is not the best option to go solo when you first play Naraka Bladepoint. First, there is no chance of reviving yourself, which is extra punishing if you are new to the game—secondly, your chances of winning and surviving increase by going with friends or other random players. Once you’ve learned how to play, learned the mechanics, and found your preferred weapons and character, then going solo will be a good option.
Try Out Different Weapons and Characters at First
The best way to get good at a game or anything is first to understand it completely. So if you are a beginner in Naraka, don’t focus on being the best at first; instead, try to learn everything you can, especially about weapons and characters. Don’t just stick with Viper Ning; try out each character in Free Training mode and see which character’s movement and special attacks are best for you. Then try all sorts of weapons in a fight until you find which one suits you best. Then put all your focus on that pair of weapons and master it.
Don’t Forget About the Talent Points
Each character has a bunch of talents that can be unlocked and changed as you play the game. You will unlock them after reaching level 4, which is relatively early in the game. These talents aren’t game-breaking, but used at the proper time can save your life. To access them, go to your character’s menu and select the Talent tab from above. Check every single of them and see what will serve you best.
Time Your Parrying
In Naraka, after a few simple hits, players will hit a Focus Attack that can be parried. There are a few tips that will help you with parrying. First, don’t try to hit the parry button just before getting hit. Naraka is an online game which means your internet connection directly impacts your performance, so don’t rely too much on that. Instead, spam and hit the Parry button once you see the blue glow around your opponent; this way, you won’t get hit just because of your internet connection might be slow.
Don’t Put Too Much Faith in Ranged Weapons
It is essential to understand that Naraka is a melee-focused weapon with a few ranged weapons. All the powerful weapons are melee ones. So don’t rely too much on ranged weapons like pistol or rifle. The best way to use them is when you rush toward the fight and want to hit them quickly before using your melee weapon or stagger your opponent and then unleash your melee combos.
Complete the Available Quests
In each match, there are several scrolls around the map that you can interact with and then get a quest. These quests can be pretty simple or more complex and will award you Dark Tide Coins accordingly. You can quickly get some coins and then spend it on items or bag upgrades available by Rift Dealer around the map. Or you can drop your earning for your friends so they can upgrade their items.
Have Extra Weapons
When fighting in Naraka, combat can change in numerous ways. One of them is getting disarmed. If you carry your favorite weapons and then get disarmed, you are good as gone. So always keep an eye on weapons you find on the ground or dropped from fallen enemies in the game. You don’t know when it will come in handy.
Always Loot the Grappling Hook
One of the main mechanisms of Naraka is the Grappling Hook. Grappling Hook is an item you must loot from enemies and ground. This item can help you quickly join an attack or flee from one if the situation is dire. This tip becomes essential for beginners in the last part of each match in Naraka Bladepoint, so have enough Grappling Hooks to increase your chances of survival.
These are some of the best tips and tricks to use if you are a new player in Naraka Bladepoint. Use them all, and you can eventually become a decent player.
Naraka Bladepoint is now available for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
