Get ready for the excitement as *Honkai Impact 3rd* rolls out its v8.1 update, "Drumming in New Resolutions," launching on February 20th. This update promises an array of thrilling additions including new battlesuits, outfits, and special anniversary rewards that are sure to enhance your gaming experience.
Let's Dive into What's New
Kiana returns with a bang in her new SD-type battlesuit, Ba-Dum! Fiery Wishing Star, ready to ignite the battlefield. Wielding a long staff, she unleashes a 4-sequence attack that deals Fire DMG and accumulates Passion Marks for potent AOE damage. Her recommended weapon and PRI-ARM amplify her fiery prowess, ensuring enemies feel the full force of her attack. Meanwhile, Herrscher of Human: Ego is equipped with new gear, including a Divine Key, PRI-ARM, and a stigmata set designed to maximize her potential.
On the narrative front, the v8.1 update 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. Their destination? The Moon Base for a festive celebration. Completing the interlude not only advances the storyline but also rewards you with Crystals, Source Prisms, and other valuable items.
The update also introduces a fun board feature where you can collect Yearly Chibis to enhance your team. Accumulate shop tokens and trade them for Crystals, Coralie's new outfit, and a variety of other rewards.
