Excitement is building as *Honkai Impact 3rd* gears up for its v8.1 update, Drumming in New Resolutions, set to launch on February 20th. This major update brings a wealth of fresh content, including new battlesuits, stylish outfits, and exclusive anniversary rewards that players won’t want to miss.
What’s New in Honkai Impact 3rd v8.1
Kiana returns with her brand-new SD-type battlesuit — Ba-Dum! Fiery Wishing Star. Wielding a powerful long staff, this fiery fighter delivers devastating Fire DMG through a smooth four-hit combo while stacking Passion Marks for explosive AOE damage. Her recommended weapon and PRI-ARM enhance her combat efficiency even further, ensuring enemies won't stand a chance against her blazing attacks.
Meanwhile, the Herrscher of Human: Ego also receives a gear upgrade, complete with a matching Divine Key, PRI-ARM, and stigmata set to boost performance and versatility on the battlefield.
Story Expansion and Gameplay Features
The narrative continues with Leylah taking center stage. After Kiana's surreal Spring Festival dream adventure in v8.0, she's now back in reality, reuniting with Rice Cake and receiving a new mission from Theresa. Their journey leads them to the Moon Base for a lively celebration.
By playing through this interlude, players can earn valuable resources like Crystals, Source Prisms, and other in-game rewards. Additionally, a fun interactive board allows players to collect Yearly Chibis, build their team, and accumulate shop tokens to exchange for Crystals, Coralie’s new outfit, and more.
New Outfits & Character Updates
In addition to Coralie’s stylish new look, both Luna and Vita are getting fashionable upgrades too. Luna’s new outfit is available via spend bonuses, while Vita’s fresh design drops in Outfit Supply — perfect for players who love customizing their roster.
Anniversary Rewards and Login Bonuses
To celebrate the update, logging in daily for seven days unlocks a range of free rewards, including a Prism Stigma Direct Level-Up Coupon, an anniversary emblem, and more. Players who maintain their login streak will also receive Kiana’s Stigma Option, Herrscher of Human’s updated Stigma Option, and 10 Equipment Supply Cards.
From February 25th to March 4th, daily logins grant even more goodies such as an S-rank Battlesuit Option, Battlesuit Supply Cards, and Crystals. All players will also receive five complimentary Battlesuit Supply Cards upon the update’s release.
