Excitement is building as Honkai Impact 3rd gears up for its v8.1 update, titled "Drumming in New Resolutions," set to launch on February 20th. This update promises an array of new battlesuits, stunning outfits, and fantastic anniversary rewards, ensuring there's plenty for players to look forward to.
Let’s Look at What’s New
Kiana makes a fiery return with her new SD-type battlesuit, Ba-Dum! Fiery Wishing Star, poised to ignite the battlefield. Wielding a long staff, she unleashes a 4-sequence attack that delivers Fire DMG and accumulates Passion Marks, leading to powerful AOE damage. Enhance her abilities further with her recommended weapon and PRI-ARM, ensuring your enemies feel the heat. Meanwhile, the Herrscher of Human: Ego gets a boost with a new set of gear, including a recommended Divine Key, PRI-ARM, and stigmata set.
On the narrative front, Honkai Impact 3rd v8.1 delves deeper into Leylah's story. Following the Spring Festival dream crisis in v8.0, Kiana is back in the real world, teaming up with Rice Cake for a new mission from Theresa. This time, their adventure leads them to the Moon Base for a festive celebration. By playing through the interlude, players can earn Crystals, Source Prisms, and various other rewards.
Additionally, a fun board feature allows you to activate and collect Yearly Chibis to build your team. You can also accumulate shop tokens to exchange for Crystals, Coralie’s new outfit, and a plethora of other rewards.
