Honkai Impact 3rd’s v8.5 update, “A Lightful Love”, will officially be released on October 23. In this update, Captains will be able to fight as Elysia’s new S-rank battlesuit, “Hi♪ Love Elf♥”, while also experiencing new events, weapons, outfits and rewards.
New Battlesuit
Elysia’s new S-rank battlesuit “Hi♪ Love Elf♥” makes its debut, equipping her with an SD-type battlesuit that can repel enemies with a bow, and also summon little messengers to perform a 4-sequence combo that deals Ice DMG. Her recommended weapon, “Pure Love’s Whisper,” and stigma set “Blissful Days” will also be released simultaneously.
Herrscher of Rebirth’s new Divine Key, “Sea-Cleansing Floret,” and its PRI form, “Sea-Cleansing Floret: Reciprocity,” will also be added in v8.5.
New Event
The version event “With You! Youthful Dreams” kicks off, which will see St. Freya High School and the Golden Courtyard hosting a joint team-building session. At the same time, Kiana makes a wish to the Messenger of Love, hoping for a carefree campus life without homework and exams.
However, the stresses, worries, and uncertainties lurking within campus have unexpectedly gained sentience and transformed into the Homework Rampagers, now determined to disrupt this celebration. Players can uncover the truth by completing missions, which can be used to obtain tokens that can be exchanged for Valkyrie Blastmetal’s new outfit “Brainiac Dark Lord,” Crystals, Source Prisms, and more.
ROG Collaboration
Outside of the game, Honkai Impact 3rd will also collaborate with ROG Phone 9 to launch a co-branded phone accessory gift box on October 23. With “Your Game, Lit with Love” as the theme, it features an exclusive Ellie design, a custom phone case, and other exclusive accessories.
