Prepare for Honkai Impact 3rd's Cosmic Update: Sun's Embrace

Honkai Impact 3rd's v8.0 update, "In Search of the Sun," arrives January 9th, introducing Durandal's new battlesuit and exciting events.

New Battlesuit and Gear:

Durandal's new IMG-type Physical DMG battlesuit, Reign Solaris, boasts two forms: Rampager (javelin attacks) and Skyrider (hoverboard combos). Her ultimate involves a sky-high javelin launch, devastating enemies. The update also features the Valorous Effulgence weapon (and its PRI-ARM upgrade, New Voyage), designed to enhance Reign Solaris's QTEs and javelin count. A new stigma set, Illuminating the Universe, reflects Durandal's parallel universe adventures, showcasing themes like soccer, bands, and skateboarding.
