What's New in the Update?

The spotlight shines on Kiana, who returns with a vengeance in her new SD-type battlesuit, Ba-Dum! Fiery Wishing Star. This fiery warrior wields a long staff, unleashing a 4-sequence attack that inflicts Fire DMG and accumulates Passion Marks for explosive AOE damage. Enhance her prowess with the recommended weapon and PRI-ARM, ensuring enemies feel the heat. Additionally, Herrscher of Human: Ego is set to receive new gear, including a recommended Divine Key, PRI-ARM, and a stigmata set, elevating her combat capabilities to new heights.

On the narrative front, Honkai Impact 3rd v8.1 delves deeper into Leylah's story. Following the dream crisis at the Spring Festival in v8.0, Kiana re-enters the real world, joining forces with Rice Cake for a new mission from Theresa. This adventure takes them to the Moon Base for a festive celebration. As you progress through the interlude, you'll amass Crystals, Source Prisms, and other valuable rewards.

Engage with the new board feature, where you can activate and collect Yearly Chibis to strengthen your team. Accumulate shop tokens to exchange for Crystals, Coralie's new outfit, and a plethora of other enticing rewards.
