Overview
- Blade debuts as a Duelist in Season 3.5 on August 8, bringing an ancestral sword, shotgun and a draconic ultimate that deals area damage and suppresses enemy healing.
- Season 3.5 overhauls Team-Up abilities by retiring Guardian Revival and Atlas Bond, adding Duality Dance and Vibrant Vitality, and reshuffling characters like Iron Fist, Star-Lord and Blade into new pairings.
- NetEase strengthens competitive integrity by enforcing longer bans and steeper point losses for leavers, awarding compensation to teammates who stay and lowering the threshold for surrender votes.
- Automated voice-chat screening backed by human review and custom text filters target toxic behavior by flagging inappropriate language and expanding the banned-word list.
- Quality-of-life improvements include automatic background shader loading to reduce wait times, with the Resource Rumble mode and Throne of Knull map scheduled for release on August 22.
