Another set of outfits featured for the Lunar New Year celebration. |
| Martial Arts | Description |
|---|---|
| Tang Hengdao | A katana-based Martial Art. It allows you to attack up to three hits if you miss an enemy. Provides two additional slashes after a successful parry. It will release globally on April 2026. |
| Mo Dao | A Martial Art that lets you wield a glaive. It consists of heavy attacks. It comes with a heavy attack that can be charged against an enemy. |
| Gauntlets | A fist weapon martial art. It consists of quick rapid punches, assisted by a flying creature as you land more attacks. There has yet to be any announcement of the official name for this weapon. |
The Tang Hengdao and Mo Dao are two upcoming martial arts that will join the global launch of the game. The Tang Hengdao will let you wield a katana that is capable of unleashing a flurry of slashes. On the other hand, the Mo Dao is a glaive that inflicts heavy attacks against your enemy.
For a more rapid series of attacks, this can be enjoyed with the Gauntlets, especially during close-ranged combats.

As of the release of Velvet Shade and the announcement of the Masked Troupe for Version 1.3, 5 sects have yet to be introduced to the game: Hollow Vale, The Inkbound Order, Mohist Hill, Lone Cloud, and Raging Tides.
Major updates typically occur every 11-13 weeks when following the pacing of the Chinese releases. This already includes all major seasons and events that will introduce a huge main story update and another region in the map.
Certain features, such as side quests, collectibles, martial arts skills, and minigames, will be included in these updates as well.
From the current global release, there has been a shorter time frame for small patch notes and updates. However, it can be assumed that typical patch releases are scheduled every Friday of the week, as this has been consistently implemented on the Chinese servers.
