The best glyphs for Naraka: Bladepoint

According to the top players in Naraka, there are certain elements in the game that provide a bigger advantage than others. Those are related to

  • Energy
  • Grappling Hook

Energy gain/cap is important because it allows you to:

Do better in battles and trades by being able to dodge more often than your opponent

Escape faster incase you get third partied or need to reset

Have overall faster mobility when moving around the map

Another important element of Naraka is the grappling hook. Grappling hook also has alot of purposes in the game, such as catching opponents, escaping fights, and overall mobility during the game

So with that out of the way, lets take a look at which glyphs provide the best benefits for your energy and hook

Origin – Spirit

“Recover Energy at a more rapid speed and dodge more often in combat”. At level 5, or upgrade number 5, this equals to 2.5% extra energy per second. You can have 6 origin glyphs at a time, so in total this amounts to 15% extra energy per second

Lunar – Agility

“Reduces the amount of energy required to dodge”. At level 5, this equals to -2% dodge energy cost. With 6 lunar glyphs, this amounts to -14% dodge enery cost

Solar – Flight

“Increases grappling hook distance enabling it to reach further”. For each of these glyphs you get 5% increased grappling hook distance, totaling to 30% if you have all 6 flight glyphs upgraded to max. This is a significant boost to your grappling hook distance for when you need to catch someone or flee the scene

Omni – Mind

“Increases your energy cap enabling you to dodge more times in quick succession”

At max level, every mind glyph you have equipped equals to 5% increased energy cap, or 30% total.

Upgrading glyphs

Like souljades, weapons and armor in Naraka, you can also upgrade glyphs.

Glyphs are upgraded with the currency Tae which is earned from quests and leveling up your account. Glyphs can be upgraded from lvl 1 to 5, with 5 being the maximum level. Each upgrade will give you an additional % increase, but it will also cost some tae for each upgrade.

To unlock all the glyph slots, you need to increase your account level by completing quests and gaining experience.
