✦New Battlesuit: Valkyrie Quicksand✦
With dazzling dance steps and wonderful fantasies, she runs on the path of completing missions like a happy little bear.
"Equipment... check! Confidence level... max! Valkyrie Susannah ready to roll!"
Valkyrie Quicksand (VQ) is an A-rank QUA-type Physical SP-battlesuit. With an upbeat tempo and her chakrams, she inflicts Bleed Trauma and Bleed DMG onto her enemies!
◆ [ Passive Skill: Mystical Nights]
Casting Wep’s Active skill tosses VQ’s chakrams as they form a drum surface and timed button prompts.
Performing a perfect judgment trigger will deal more Physical DMG.
◆ [ Ultimate: One Thousand and One Fantasies]
VQ enters Dancing State to inflict Physical DMG and Bleed Trauma onto enemies (and Collapses one QUA-shield).
During Dancing State, multiple button prompts will appear on the screen. Triggering perfect judgment will enhance her DMG and restore SP.
◆ v6.5 will have an SP Valkyrie Supply for VQ, lasting until April 28th 12:00 (server time).
◆ Apart from events, VQ fragments will be permanently available in the Asterite Shop and Overworld Adventure tasks.
✦Valkyrie Quicksand’s Signature Gear✦
In v6.5, Twirling Glaze and its PRI-ARM variant Twirling Glaze: Lustrous Bloom are VQ’s new signature and recommended weapons. The chakrams provide Total DMG and Physical DMG buffs, and Bleed DMG buff/debuff//Trauma! They’re ideal for the bleed-specialist VQ!
The [Exotic Lamp set] Aladdin is VQ’s new signature and recommended stigmata set. Similar to the chakrams, Aladdin stigs provide Total DMG buffs, Physical DMG buffs, Bleed DMG buff/debuff//Trauma, and SP-regen bonuses!
◆ The signature gears will be available in the Equipment Supply, Dance of Chasing Light, where 30 pulls guarantees a new UP equipment.
✦Elysian Realm Updated✦
Valkyrie Quicksand and Shadow Knight will be available to play in the Elysian Realm starting in v6.5! During this patch, they will both receive more upgrade-materials per playthrough.
Diabolic Kevin will be added to Elysian Realm as the boss of Deliverance.
Avoid Diabolic Kevin’s attacks or you will end up frozen in your tracks!
Defeating Diabolic Kevin up to 12 and 24 times rewards you with the left and right emblems respectively!
✦New Enemies✦
The new Pishacha will be coming to the Memorial Arena! Exalted players will have the opportunity to face its SSS variant as well!
Avoid its attacks! Once hit enough and Karma fills up, red mists will form and attack you with red thorns.
Pishacha will also be coming to Superstring Dimension. It’s extremely recommended to bring along your best Bleed-Valkyries!
✦New Story Chapter XXXVI: Hailing from Nagazora✦
"The reason is 'only those made of flesh are real humans.' Only real humans hold meaning and value."
With the end of part 1 of Honkai Impact 3rd’s main story, Chapter 36, Hailing from Nagazora, starts the new story of part 1.5: Dance of Life and Death.
The main protagonists of this chapter, Seele and Sussanah, will be exploring the city of Nagazora.
✦Events & New Outfits✦
✦ Chapter 36 Event: Desolate City Detective
Alongside Chapter 36 is the event game mode Desolate City Detective. With two different Areas are 3 Field Training and 1 Routine Check stages each. Clear Field Training stages to improve your performance against Routine Check. Clearing Routine Check for a certain amount to unlock new Field Training stages.
In Routine Check α, the central energy concentrator, that has a hit-counter when reduced to zero, drops energy orbs. Energy orbs restores SP and are needed to use the active skill to inflict massive DMG.
