Honkai Impact 3rd Version 8.0 Launches This Month

As the chill of winter grips the northern hemisphere, Honkai Impact 3rd is set to warm things up with its latest update, "In Search of the Sun," launching on January 9th. This update promises to deliver a sizzling array of new content that will keep players engaged and heated until the sun graces us with its presence once more.

The star of the show is undoubtedly Durandal's new battlesuit, the Reign Solaris. This IMG-type Physical DMG dealer transforms Durandal into a smaller, more agile fighter. With two distinct combat modes at your disposal, Rampager focuses on charging up for devastating brawls, whereas Skyrider allows for swift movement across the battlefield. Enhance your gameplay further with Durandal's signature weapons, the Valorous Effulgence and PRI-ARM Valorous Effulgence: New Voyage.

The storyline expands with the addition of "Bouquets of Unfulfilled Wishes," bringing back the Dreamseeker and her companion to the Mars system to delve deeper into the Ten Shus war. Expect a mix of drama, emotional moments, and intense action. Engage with the new On-Duty Work Guide minigame, where you'll maneuver Cube-ianka through a 3D grid to solve intriguing puzzles.

The warmth doesn't stop there! Players can earn a share of 60,000,000 Crystals by completing segments of the main story chapters, but act quickly as this is drawn from a limited pool. Dive into the new featured event, "Countdown: To Sweet Dreams," for a more relaxed experience after the main chapter's intensity.

Familiar characters like Mei, Theresa, and Fu Hua make a comeback, and you'll face off against a new and bizarre boss. Take command of followers in battle, reminiscent of a monster trainer, and collect rewards including Crystals, Source Prisms, and more. Don't miss the debut of Senadina's new outfit, Steering Inequations. Make sure to consult our Honkai Impact tier list to determine the best characters to bring into battle!
