Honkai Impact 3rd v8.0 Update: In Search of the Sun Launching Soon

Get ready for an explosive update with Honkai Impact 3rd's v8.0 release, *In Search of the Sun*, set to launch on January 9th. This update promises an exciting array of new content, including Durandal's fresh avatar and a suite of new suits. Plus, don’t miss out on the special events that are rolling out alongside this thrilling update.

Here’s the Breakdown

The spotlight of the Honkai Impact 3rd v8.0 update shines on Durandal’s new battlesuit, Reign Solaris. This IMG-type Physical DMG dealer comes with an intriguing twist: Durandal has shrunk, boosting her agility to new heights. With Reign Solaris, she can switch between two dynamic forms.

In Rampager mode, she unleashes a whirlwind of javelin attacks, dominating the battlefield with sheer force. Switch to Skyrider form, and she zips around on a hoverboard, delivering lightning-fast combos that leave opponents reeling. Her ultimate move is a spectacle, launching herself into the sky to hurl her javelin and unleash devastating damage on her foes.

The update isn't just about Durandal; it introduces new gear tailored for Reign Solaris. The Valorous Effulgence weapon and its upgraded PRI-ARM version, New Voyage, enhance her Quick Time Events (QTEs) and provide extra javelins for even more destructive power.

Additionally, the new Illuminating the Universe stigma set dives into Durandal's adventures across parallel universes, featuring themes like soccer, bands, skateboarding, and more. It's a fun, multifaceted look at her character that adds depth to her story.

Check out the trailer for the Honkai Impact 3rd v8.0 update to see it all in action:

A new cube game also joins the fray, where Vita and a younger Durandal team up to clean dirty data. As Cube-ianka, you'll solve puzzles to earn rewards like 60 million Crystals, Source Prisms, and more.

Adding a touch of humor to the update, the Countdown: To Sweet Dreams event brings back familiar faces like Mei, Theresa, Fu Hua, and the Herrscher of Sentience. You might even spot Griseo, Carole, and Vita. This event features a boss fight where you help Kiana dodge falling drumsticks and retaliate with drumbeats, command followers in battles, and even become a monster trainer.
