Honkai Impact 3rd update v.8.1 comes in a few days
The Honkai Impact 3rd team has announced the v8.1 update, Drumming in New Resolutions, coming on February 20! Players can join the fight with Kiana’s new battlesuit, Ba-Dum! Fiery Wishing Star, and celebrate the game’s anniversary with fresh events, outfits, and rewards.
In v8.1, Ba-Dum! Fiery Wishing Star makes its first appearance! This SD-type battlesuit lets Kiana use a long staff to hit enemies and deal Fire DMG. Her 4-hit attack builds KE, and the last hit leaves a mark that causes area damage. Players can equip Kiana’s recommended weapon or PRI-ARM to add an extra Passion Mark to a single enemy. Her stigmata also feature moments of her celebrating with friends and family. Additionally, Herrscher of Human: Ego’s Divine Key, PRI-ARM, and new stigmata will be available.
The update also brings a new story interlude focusing on Leylah. By playing through the story and activities, players can earn Crystals, Source Prisms, and more. After the events of v8.0, Kiana returns to the real world and takes on a new mission with Rice Cake, heading to the Moon Base for festive celebrations. There, players can activate the fun board, buy Yearly Chibis, and earn shop tokens to exchange for Crystals, Coralie’s new outfit, and other rewards. New outfits for Luna and Vita are also coming—Luna’s outfit can be earned through spend bonuses, while Vita’s will be in Outfit Supply.
For the anniversary, logging in from February 13 to 20 grants a Prism Stigma Level-Up Coupon, an anniversary emblem, and more. Logging in for seven days after the update gives Kiana’s Stigma Option, Herrscher of Human’s new Stigma Option, and 10 Equipment Supply Cards. From February 25 to March 4, players can claim an S-rank Battlesuit Option, Battlesuit Supply Cards, Crystals, and more. The update also includes a 50% discount on the first 10 draws for Kiana’s Battlesuit Supply, double rewards for first top-ups, and a special Carnival Supply event. Additionally, five Battlesuit Supply Cards will be sent to all players via in-game mail as a thank-you gift. More events and rewards are waiting—check out v8.1 to discover them all!
