As the new year kicks off, Honkai Impact 3rd is set to warm up your winter with its latest update, "In Search of the Sun," launching on January 9th. This update promises to transport you to sunnier horizons, even if you're currently battling the cold of the northern hemisphere.
The star of the show in this update is Durandal's new battlesuit, the Reign Solaris. This IMG-type Physical DMG dealer transforms Durandal into a more agile and compact fighter. With two distinct modes at your disposal, Rampager for charging up attacks and focusing on brawling, and Skyrider for swift movement across the battlefield, you'll have plenty of options to master. Additionally, you can equip Durandal with her signature weapons, the Valorous Effulgence and PRI-ARM Valorous Effulgence: New Voyage, to enhance her combat prowess.
The storyline expands with "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, emotion, and action, along with the new On-Duty Work Guide minigame. This engaging puzzle feature involves navigating Cube-ianka through a 3D grid, adding a fresh layer of challenge to your gameplay.
But that's not all! You can also earn a share of 60,000,000 Crystals by completing main story chapters, though you'll need to act fast as these are drawn from a central pool. The update introduces the new event, "Countdown: To Sweet Dreams," offering a more relaxed experience after the intensity of the main chapters. Here, you'll encounter familiar characters like Mei, Theresa, and Fu Hua, face off against a peculiar new boss, and command followers in battle as if you were a monster trainer. Rewards include Crystals, Source Prisms, and more, alongside the debut of Senadina's new outfit, Steering Inequations.
