What's New in Honkai Impact 3rd v8.1?
Kiana returns with a vengeance in her new SD-type battlesuit, Ba-Dum! Fiery Wishing Star, designed to ignite the battlefield. Equipped with a long staff, she unleashes a dynamic 4-sequence attack that delivers potent Fire DMG while accumulating Passion Marks, paving the way for impactful AOE damage. To maximize her potential, the recommended weapon and PRI-ARM enhance her fiery abilities, ensuring your enemies feel the heat. Additionally, the Herrscher of Human: Ego receives new gear, including a Divine Key, PRI-ARM, and a tailored stigmata set.
On the narrative front, the v8.1 update delves deeper into Leylah's story. Following the dream crisis during the Spring Festival in v8.0, Kiana re-enters the real world, joins forces with Rice Cake, and embarks on a new mission assigned by Theresa. Their journey leads them to the Moon Base for a festive celebration. As you navigate through the interlude, you'll have the opportunity to amass Crystals, Source Prisms, and various other rewards.
Engage with a new interactive board to collect Yearly Chibis, which you can use to assemble your team. Moreover, accumulate shop tokens to exchange for Crystals, Coralie's new outfit, and an array of other enticing rewards.
