Hey, this is Marisa. Welcome to Honkai Impact 3 Version 5.0 update overview. Let’s get right into it~
✦ New Battlesuit: Herrscher of Flamescion
Herrscher of Flamescion (HoF) is the peak of Kiana’s growth. This S-rank PSY type Kiana wields a greatsword to deal Fire DMG. She will protect everything that is beautiful in the world.
HoF has a unique aerial attack mechanic. Slash the enemies in style!
Utilizing the power of Herrscher of the Void, her aerial Combo ATK summons a Space Core that can gather enemies.
With sufficient SP, hold [ULT] to cast Ultimate. [Herrscher of Flamescion] will swing her greatsword with all her might, dealing lethal Fire DMG and recovering her HP.
✦ How to get Herrscher of Flamescion
Expansion Supply: HoF is only available from gacha. Expansion supply available for three weeks in version 5.0
✦ Rank-up System
Stygian Nymph and Argent Knight: Artemis rank-up system have been updated, both obtaining two brand new skills!
✦ Stygian Nymph in Dorm
Stygian Nymph joins the Dorm Squad and is now available in Dorm Supply. She provides global Physical DMG increase.
✦ HoF SIGNATURE EQUIPMENT
✦ New Pistol: Key of Radiance, PRI-ARM Domain of Incandescence
Key of Radiance / Domain of Incandescence is a weapon with high ATK, multipliers and SP recovery for HoF. Its weapon skill turns it into a turret, dealing multiple hits of strong Fire DMG and detonates Ember Brand on enemies. It’s an irreplaceable weapon for Flamescion!
DoI active skill
✦ Blazing Legacy Set: Murata Himeko
Murata Himeko provides high multipliers for Flamescion. It also gives bonus HP and indirect damage reduction, which will make Flamescion’s barrier much sturdier.
✦ Supply
Key of Radiance and Murata Himeko stigma are available in Focused Supply (1 Week) and Equipment Expansion Supply (3 Weeks).
✦ Leeuwenhoek
Leeuwenhoek set added to Foundry as G3 Red stigma. Requires G2 Thales as forge material.
In 5.0, complete summer event missions to receive a Leeuwenhoek option box. You can pick any Leeuwenhoek piece x1 or 1000 Stigma Resonance.
WHICH LEEUWENHOEK TO PICK?
- Leeuwenhoek TB Thales M is the next best stigma combination for Herrscher of Flamescion after Himeko set! It’s also an excellent set for other fire valks!
- The best choice is to get Leeuwenhoek B from the box, and forge Thales T, then use it to forge Leeuwenhoek T. The reason is Thales T is a good generic stigma for Fire valks, so you can use it until you have enough materials to forge Leeuwenhoek T.
✦ New S-rank ELF: Sirin
"Hi, Captain, I'm Sirin! Huh? Herrscher of the Void? What's that? I don't know. I'm just Sirin."
Sirin is a powerful S-rank ELF that unleashes strong Fire DMG with bonus heal and increased effectiveness against hitcount shields. This is an excellent companion for all fire valks, including Flamescion! Sirin will be available in ELF supply, available for three weeks in 5.0.
