Honkai Impact 3rd v8.1 Update: 'Drumming in New Resolutions' Released

The highly anticipated v8.1 update for Honkai Impact 3rd, titled "Drumming in New Resolutions," is set to launch on February 20th, bringing a wave of exciting new content and rewards. This update promises new battlesuits, stunning outfits, and special anniversary rewards to keep the community buzzing with excitement.

Let’s Look at What’s New

Kiana makes a fiery comeback with her new SD-type battlesuit, Ba-Dum! Fiery Wishing Star, ready to ignite the battlefield. Equipped with a long staff, she delivers a dynamic 4-sequence attack that inflicts Fire DMG and accumulates Passion Marks, leading to powerful AOE damage. Her recommended weapon and PRI-ARM further enhance her fiery prowess, ensuring enemies feel the heat. Meanwhile, Herrscher of Human: Ego receives new gear, including a recommended Divine Key, PRI-ARM, and a matching stigmata set, bolstering her abilities.

On the story front, v8.1 delves deeper into Leylah's narrative. Following the Spring Festival dream crisis in v8.0, Kiana returns to the real world, joining forces with Rice Cake for a new mission assigned by Theresa. This time, they're headed to the Moon Base for a festive celebration. Engaging in the interlude will earn you Crystals, Source Prisms, and other valuable rewards.

Additionally, players can enjoy a fun board feature to activate and collect Yearly Chibis, enhancing your team composition. You can also accumulate shop tokens, which you can exchange for Crystals, Coralie's new outfit, and a variety of other rewards.
