Hello everyone, welcome again to another patch overview. This is your host, Marisa. 5.2 is very special patch - it's SEA server 4th anniversary! When I first played Honkai, I enjoyed it but never imagined to keep playing it for another four years, witnessing all the improvements miHoYo added with every patch and being a part of this amazing community. miHoYo has prepared a lot of amazing rewards to celebrate this special occasion. Let's see what's new in 5.2!
NEW BATTLESUIT
Dr. Mobius is here! Infinite Ouroboros is a powerful S-rank MECH Lightning battlesuit. Her playstyle revolves around continuously using Combo ATK to unleash devastating Lightning damage. Her Ultimate reveals her ICHOR form Ouroboros, dealing massive damage to all enemies and activates Umbra of Ouroboros buff where Mobius attacks are stronger and enemies take more Lightning DMG. Mobius will be available in Expansion Supply.
Check out this Mobius guide to learn more:
The first Imaginary battlesuit is here! Raven's A-rank battlesuit Midnight Absinthe is an Archer Fire-type support. Raven provides tons of Fire DMG buff simply from being off-field and using her Ultimate. Raven has a special skill - when her Aimed Shooting hits the Seed of an IMG enemy, if the seed HP is below 20%, the enemy will instantly lose all its HP!
Raven can be obtained from Open World task, Mobius Expansion Supply, various shops and events in 5.2. Raven will be available in Expedition starting in 5.3
NEW EQUIPMENT
- New Cross: Basilisk's Image, PRI-ARM Basilisk's Image: Deathshroud
- New stigma: Systema Naturae set - Linnaeus
These are the signature equipment for Mobius. They will be available in Focused Supply (1 Week) and Equipment Expansion Supply (4 weeks). If you plan to play Mobius, try to get some of them, especially the cross.
- New Bow: Obscuring Wing
- New stigma: Poem of Raven set - Aslaug
These are the signature equipment for Raven, maximizing her potential as a Fire sub-dps support. Raven gears will be available in a Special Supply. This special supply has very rewarding bonuses:
1. Guarantees new Raven gear within 30 pulls. That means you can get Obscuring Wing and full Aslaug in 120 pulls or less!
2. For every 10 pulls in the supply, you get 5 Focused Supply Cards, up to 80th pull. This means for 80 pulls, you get 40 cards back. What a deal! Ai-chan has truly blessed us SEA captains during our anniversary!
New PRI-ARM: Hler's Ataraxia
Hler's Ataraxia is a PRI-ARM that builds up damage with every weapon skill. Captains who have Hler's Serenity but not Abyss Flower can choose to get this weapon for Bright Knight. (Just pull Abyss Flower btw)
- Forge: Kafka Set G3 Grey
- Exchange Shop: Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake and Nobel stigma.
NEW ELF: KLEIN
The hardworking Mobius assistant, Klein! She is a very unique ELF with never-before-seen skills:
2-star: Klein ultimate resets valkyrie switch cd.
3-star: Klein ultimate triggers QTE skill of Lightning valks.
If you're a late-game player, you don't want to miss this ELF! She will be available in ELF supply and spending event shop in 5.2.
BATTLE PASS
These are the new items in 5.2 Battle Pass
BATTLE PASS RECOMMENDATION
- Hler's Serenity: Not worth it unless you absolutely refuse to invest in Abyss Flower
- Dante: Signature stigma for Bright Knight. Not a top priority to get it. Bright Knight can use other stigmas as long as you have Abyss Flower and proper supports. See Abyss Flower guide
- Azure Empyrea card: If you want Azure Empyrea, DO NOT BUY THE CARD. Instead, get 100 fragments for half the price of the card. How does it work? Watch this vid:
