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 highly anticipated new battlesuit, Reign Solaris, debuts as an IMG-type Physical DMG dealer with two distinct modes: Rampager (javelin attacks) and Skyrider (hoverboard combat). Her ultimate involves a sky-high javelin barrage. The update also includes the Valorous Effulgence weapon (and its PRI-ARM upgrade, New Voyage), perfectly complementing Reign Solaris with enhanced QTEs and additional javelins. A new stigma set, Illuminating the Universe, reflects Durandal's parallel universe adventures, featuring themes like soccer, bands, and skateboarding.

The Countdown: To Sweet Dreams event adds a comedic twist, bringing back familiar characters like Mei, Theresa, Fu Hua, and the Herrscher of Sentience, along with Griseo, Carole, and Vita. This event includes a boss battle involving Kiana dodging drumsticks, commanding followers, and even monster training.
