Get ready, Honkai Impact 3rd fans! The v8.0 update, titled *In Search of the Sun*, is set to launch on January 9th, bringing with it a refreshed look for Durandal and an array of exciting new features. From new battlesuits to special events, there's a lot to unpack in this update.

Here’s the Breakdown

The star of the Honkai Impact 3rd v8.0 update is undoubtedly Durandal’s new battlesuit, Reign Solaris. This IMG-type Physical DMG dealer showcases Durandal in a smaller, more agile form. With two distinct modes, Reign Solaris offers dynamic combat options. In Rampager mode, Durandal unleashes a flurry of javelin attacks, while switching to Skyrider form allows her to zip around on a hoverboard, delivering lightning-fast combos. Her ultimate move is a spectacular display of power, launching herself into the sky to hurl her javelin and devastate her foes.

Alongside the new battlesuit, the update introduces the Valorous Effulgence weapon and its upgraded PRI-ARM version, New Voyage, both designed to complement Reign Solaris. Equipping these will unlock enhanced QTEs and additional javelins, enhancing your combat capabilities. Additionally, the Illuminating the Universe stigma set takes you on a journey through Durandal’s parallel universe adventures, featuring themes like soccer, bands, and skateboarding.

The Main Story Is Getting a Major Update too

The narrative of Honkai Impact 3rd continues to evolve with Part 2 Chapter VII: Bouquets of Unfulfilled Wishes. This chapter takes players back to Mars, where Dreamseeker and her squad delve deeper into the Ten Shus War. They uncover more about Coralie’s tragic fate and encounter a character linked to the mysterious eye in Helia’s mind.

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

Adding a touch of humor to the update, the Countdown: To Sweet Dreams event brings back familiar faces such as Mei, Theresa, Fu Hua, and the Herrscher of Sentience, with possible appearances by Griseo, Carole, and Vita. This event includes a unique boss fight where you help Kiana dodge falling drumsticks and retaliate with drumbeats. You'll also command followers in battles and take on the role of a monster trainer. Rewards include Emblems, Crystals, Source Prisms, and Senadina’s new outfit, Steering Inequations.
