Let's Dive into What's New

Kiana makes a thrilling return with her new SD-type battlesuit, Ba-Dum! Fiery Wishing Star, ready to blaze through the battlefield. Wielding a long staff, she unleashes a 4-sequence attack that deals Fire DMG and stacks Passion Marks for potent AOE damage. Her recommended weapon and PRI-ARM enhance her fiery abilities, ensuring enemies feel the heat. Additionally, Herrscher of Human: Ego receives new gear, including a recommended Divine Key, PRI-ARM, and stigmata set, boosting her performance to new heights.

On the story front, Honkai Impact 3rd v8.1 delves deeper into Leylah's narrative. Following the Spring Festival dream crisis in v8.0, Kiana is back in the real world, teaming up with Rice Cake and receiving a new mission from Theresa. This time, they're headed to the Moon Base for a festive celebration. As you play through the interlude, you can earn Crystals, Source Prisms, and other valuable rewards.

Don't miss out on the fun board, where you can activate and collect Yearly Chibis to build your team. Plus, you can accumulate shop tokens to exchange for Crystals, Coralie's new outfit, and a plethora of other rewards.
