HoYoVerse offered updates on the Genshin Impact banner for new heroine Emilie and the rerun banner for Yelan. Both start on August 6, 2024 and, when they do, will include Razor, Xiangling, and Yanfei as the focus four-stars.

Emilie is the entirely new Dendro five-star unit in Genshin Impact, and she’s the last new addition in the 4.0 series of updates. She uses a polearm to attack. As she’s a Fontaine character, she also has a Pneuma alignment. Her “Pomum de Ambra Chapter” character quest also debuts once her banner launches.

Here’s a trailer for her:

With Yelan, this is her fourth rerun banner since her Genshin Impact debut in 2.7 back in May 2022. She’s a Hydro archer from Liyue. She typically is used as a sub-DPS in the game.

As for the new focus four-stars, here’s who they are and their elements and weapons.

  • Razor: Electro claymore-wielder.
  • Xiangling: Pyro polearm-user.
  • Yanfei: Pyro catalyst mage.

Both Razor and Xiangling have been a part of Genshin Impact since the game's launch, with the latter being offered up as a free unit for players.

Genshin Impact is available for the PS4, PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and the Emilie and Yelan rerun banners start on August 6, 2024.

World of Warships Will Get Blue Archive Crossover Content https://www.siliconera.com/world-of-warships-will-get-blue-archive-crossover-content/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=world-of-warships-will-get-blue-archive-crossover-content https://www.siliconera.com/world-of-warships-will-get-blue-archive-crossover-content/#respond Thu, 01 Aug 2024 13:30:44 +0000 https://www.siliconera.com/?p=1045475 World of Warships getting Blue Archive crossover

Wargaming has revealed that it will start adding new crossover content from Blue Archive to World of Warships. The content will appear in both the original PC version and the console-mobile release Legends in August 2024. [Thanks, 4Gamer!]

This crossover will feature three exclusive warships and five characters that players can assign as ship captains. The five characters shown are Hoshino, Serika, Ayane, Shiroko, and Nonomi. As a side note, all of these five characters are affiliated with the Abydos High School's Foreclosure Task Force in the original game.

The Blue Archive crossover will mark a new collaboration between Wargaming and Yostar. While Nexon published the global version of Blue Archive, Yostar handles its Japanese and Chinese releases. The companies have been collaborating multiple times to add crossover content between Azur Lane and World of Warships. The new Japanese press release noted that this will be the first Blue Archive crossover wave, so the companies are also teasing more batches coming later on.

The Blue Archive crossover content will appear first in the console and mobile entry World of Warships: Legends, available on the PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, iOS, and Android, on August 5, 2024. Wargaming will also add the content to the original PC version ten days later on August 15, 2024.

Imaginary Hunt March 7th Build in Honkai: Star Rail Depends on Team https://www.siliconera.com/imaginary-hunt-march-7th-build-in-honkai-star-rail-depends-on-team/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=imaginary-hunt-march-7th-build-in-honkai-star-rail-depends-on-team https://www.siliconera.com/imaginary-hunt-march-7th-build-in-honkai-star-rail-depends-on-team/#respond Thu, 01 Aug 2024 13:15:19 +0000 https://www.siliconera.com/?p=1045467 honkai star rail march 7th imaginary hunt build light cones and relics

Imaginary Hunt March 7th in Honkai: Star Rail may seem difficult to build because of the myriad of things she can do, but with the right Light Cones and Relics, she can become a powerful member of your team. You can choose to either build her as a Break Effect character or a more typical Crit DMG-focused attacker.

When you’re choosing your team, Light Cones, and Relics, you should first decide what you want to use March 7th for. As of Version 2.4, there aren’t a lot of options for Break Effect despite her kit making her suitable for a Super Break attacker. Conversely, if you give her a more standard SPD, ATK, Crit Rate, and Crit DMG build that prioritizes her Basic Attack, she can work with almost any team and against any enemy.

Here are the best Light Cones for an Imaginary Hunt March 7th build in Honkai: Star Rail

  • Baptism of Pure Thought
    This is Dr. Ratio’s signature Light Cone and it works well for a normal March 7th build. It works well if you’re going to run her with a party that can debuff enemies, like if Pela is present. This Light Cone can give March 7th a massive Crit DMG boost, as well as an additional DMG boost after she uses her Ultimate. She cannot use the follow-up attack boost though.
  • In the Night
    This is Seele’s signature Light Cone. In the Night is a perfect Light Cone for March 7th because it focuses on her Crit Rate, Basic ATK DMG, and Ultimate Crit DMG. She can only gain additional DMG bonuses from her Basic ATK and Ultimate Crit DMG depending on her SPD. But you’ll want to give her a lot of SPD anyway, so she should e able to hit the maximum amount of bonus stacks.
  • Cruising in the Stellar Sea
    Cruising in the Stellar Sea is an amazing option for F2P players since it’s a free 5-star you can get via Herta’s Store. It increases her Crit Rate, as well as her ATK after she defeats an enemy. It will also give her much better stats than some of the 4-star options available.
  • Sailing Towards a Second Life
    This is the best (and pretty much the only) Light Cone if you want to build March 7th for a Break Effect team. It gives a massive 60% Break Effect increase even at S1 and allows her to ignore enemy DEF. You’ll want to get her Break Effect above 150% (which shouldn’t be hard) in order to further increase her SPD. The downside is that this is Boothill’s signature Light Cone, meaning that it’s limited and Boothill will likely want it more than her.
  • Only Silence Remains
    Only Silence Remains is a simple but powerful Light Cone that increases March’s ATK and Crit Rate. However, the Crit Rate bonus is only available if there are less than two enemies on the field. As a 4-star, it won’t have the same stat boosts as the above 5-stars, but its more ready availability makes it easier to procure.
  • Swordplay
    Swordplay is also a good 4-star Light Cone due to it stacking DMG every time March hits the same target. However, you cannot change targets or she’ll lose this bonus. Because it increases her DMG rather than just her Basic ATK DMG, this is a better Light Cone for her than Subscribe for More!.

Here are the best Relics

  • 4-pc Musketeer of Wild Wheat
    This is the best Relic Set for a normal Crit DMG-focused March 7th build in Honkai: Star Rail. It boosts her ATK, as well as her SPD and Basic ATK DMG. These are all the specific stats that March 7th wants in particular. Its ready availability ever since the start of service means that most players should have tons to choose from.
  • 2-pc Musketeer of Wild Wheat, 2-pc Wastelander of Banditry Desert
    If you want to focus on a dual-build, you might want to consider mixing Musketeer with Wastelander, as Wastelander provides an additional Imaginary DMG boost.
  • 4-pc Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge
    This is the best Relic Set for a Break Effect-focused March 7th. Not only does it increase her Break Effect, but it has additional positive effects depending on her Break Effect. You should give her at least 250% Break Effect (in battle) so that she can ignore enemy DEF when she uses Super Break. The Super Break part is especially important since you want to run Break Effect March 7th with Harmony Trailblazer anyway.
  • 4-pc Thief of Shooting Meteor
    This is yet another Relic Set for Break Effect March 7th. It increases her Break Effect, as well as regenerates Energy for her when she inflicts Weakness Break. Because she can reduce Toughness based on her Shifu’s Combat Type, she has an additional chance to Break the enemy, meaning that there’s a high chance she can get that second bonus. Like Musketeer, Thief was available since Version 1.0 so players should have an abundance of this set.
  • Rutilant Arena
    This is the best Planar Ornament Set for a Crit DMG-based March 7th. You will need to have at least 70% Crit Rate in order to get the Basic ATK DMG increase. That’s kind of high, but the additional 20% DMG bonus is worth it.
  • Talia: Kingdom of Banditry
    Talia is the best Planar Ornament Set for a Break Effect-based March 7th. Like Rutilant Arena, there’s a caveat to it. You need to have at least 145 SPD to get the extra 20% bonus. But unlike Rutilant Arena, it’ll probably be a lot easier and more painless to reach that threshold.

Honkai: Star Rail is readily available on the PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. You can get the Imaginary Hunt version of March 7th as a free reward during the "March to Mastery: A Star Is Born" Trailblaze Continuance quest in Honkai: Star Rail.

Imaginary Hunt March 7th Teams Vary in Honkai: Star Rail https://www.siliconera.com/imaginary-hunt-march-7th-teams-vary-in-honkai-star-rail/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=imaginary-hunt-march-7th-teams-vary-in-honkai-star-rail https://www.siliconera.com/imaginary-hunt-march-7th-teams-vary-in-honkai-star-rail/#respond Thu, 01 Aug 2024 12:45:57 +0000 https://www.siliconera.com/?p=1045461 march 7th imaginary hunt teams in honkai star rail

The Imaginary Hunt version of March 7th in Honkai: Star Rail is an interesting character in that she can do a lot of things for your teams and fit on different types. Here are some of the best teams to use her on.

March 7th (Imaginary Hunt) can enhance a character on the field with her Skill, as well as gain buffs for herself depending on their Path. While this sounds like she is only a support character, she can dish out pretty good damage on her own via her Enhanced Basic Attack or her Ultimate. Because of her ability to reduce the Toughness of an enemy who shares the same Weakness Type as her Shifu’s Combat Type, she also does very well on Break-oriented teams.

Something to keep in mind is that March is a character whose performance depends heavily on her team. If you want her as a solo attacker, then you need to build her for Break and run her with Trailblazer (Harmony). Otherwise, you’ll see middling results. On the other hand, if you want to run her with a Crit build, then you need to have someone else with her. She cannot be the main attacker for a hyper-carry team due to her naturally weaker stats and unique kit. So you need to plan ahead with March in particular when setting up her team or build.

Screenshot by Siliconera

Here are the best teams for Imaginary Hunt March 7th in Honkai: Star Rail

  • March 7th (Hunt) | Trailblazer (Harmony) | Ruan Mei | Gallagher
    This is a premium team that focuses on Break Effect March. In this team composition, Trailblazer (Harmony) and Ruan Mei are her supports. You seriously need to bring Trailblazer with Break Effect March or else she won't do much damage. Meanwhile, Gallagher is the sustain. A major downside to this team is that, unlike Boothill or Firefly, no one can plant a Weakness in the enemy. So you can only use this team when the enemy is weak to Imaginary, Fire, or Ice.
  • March 7th (Hunt) | Trailblazer (Harmony) | Pela/Asta | Gallagher
    This is a very similar team to the above but it does not require the premium option of Ruan Mei. You can use Pela instead to lower the enemies' DEF with her Ultimate, or you can use Asta for an ATK and SPD boost. This team suffers the exact same issue as the above in that if the enemy doesn't have a corresponding Weakness, you're going to have a hard time.
  • March 7th | Yunli | Robin | Huohuo
    This is a premium dual-DPS team that takes advantage of Yunli’s potential to attack multiple times off-turn in order to build stacks for March 7th’s Enhanced Basic Attack. Robin is the support, but you can replace her with another Harmony or even Nihility support depending on who you have. Finally, Huohuo is a great sustain due to her auto-cleanse and her Ultimate, which can restore Energy. However, if you don’t have her, you can consider Lynx as well, as Lynx can help gather the aggro on Yunli.
  • March 7th | Xueyi | Pela/Asta | Sustain
    This is a F2P-friendly follow-up attack team in which March 7th and Xueyi help each other via their different Toughness Reduction passives. March 7th can help Xueyi to trigger her follow up attack, which in turn helps March 7th get her stacks. Like with the above Break Effect team, either Pela or Asta can work in this composition depending on who you have or want to use. Finally, you can basically use any sustain you want in this team.
  • March 7th | Jade | Robin | Aventurine
    This is a premium follow-up attack team that would have March 7th use her Skill on either Topaz or Jade. Meanwhile, if you're using Jade, you can have Jade make March her Debt Collector. This in turn lets the both of them farm stacks off each other while Jade boosts March's ATK. Robin is the best support for follow-up attack teams, though Ruan Mei is also an option. Finally, Aventurine is the best sustain when it comes to this particular niche.

Honkai: Star Rail Kamameshi Stars Yunli and Jiaoqiu https://www.siliconera.com/honkai-star-rail-kamameshi-stars-yunli-and-jiaoqiu/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=honkai-star-rail-kamameshi-stars-yunli-and-jiaoqiu https://www.siliconera.com/honkai-star-rail-kamameshi-stars-yunli-and-jiaoqiu/#respond Wed, 31 Jul 2024 22:00:27 +0000 https://www.siliconera.com/?p=1045407 honkai star rail kamameshi

Oginoya, a kamameshi store in Japan, has announced a collaboration with HoYoVerse to celebrate the release of new Honkai: Star Rail characters Yunli and Jiaoqiu. They’ll only be available in certain stores and through online orders.

You’ll be able to start purchasing the Honkai: Star Rail kamameshi from August 9, 2024 and the collaboration will end on September 8, 2024. That’s likely when this patch will end and around when the next one will start. If you want to, you can also pre-order a bowl (which will come with special merchandise), from August 5, 2024. When you order a bowl, you can get a wall scroll of the character in question, as well as a random postcard. If you order both at once, you can get coasters of Jiaoqiu and Yunli.

There are two flavors to choose from. The Yunli kamameshi has large slices of kakuni pork in it, which is great for people who are really hungry or can eat a lot. As for the Jiaoqiu bowl, the poster doesn’t actually say what ingredients are inside. But it uses ingredients you might find in Chinese food therapy with a mala kick to it. Each bowl costs 2200 JPY ($14.65).

Honkai: Star Rail is readily available on the PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. You can find these Honkai: Star Rail kamameshi bowls in Oginoya stores in Ginza and Roppongi, as well as via online order.

Skullgirls Mobile Gets Roxie as a Guest Star Character, VA Revealed https://www.siliconera.com/skullgirls-mobile-gets-roxie-as-a-guest-star-character-va-revealed/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=skullgirls-mobile-gets-roxie-as-a-guest-star-character-va-revealed https://www.siliconera.com/skullgirls-mobile-gets-roxie-as-a-guest-star-character-va-revealed/#respond Wed, 31 Jul 2024 15:30:00 +0000 https://www.siliconera.com/?p=1045263 Skullgirls Mobile Gets Roxie as a Guest Star Character, VA Revealed

In the Skullgirls Mobile game, some folks who aren’t normally playable and tend to be NPCs are being made into Guest Star characters who can pop in to aid in a fight, and Roxie is the next one. She’ll be played by Anairis Quiñones in the game, and there’s no release window for her yet.

Roxie is a background character who is a part of Parasoul’s Black Egrets. She’s never been playable, but she’s often appeared as a background character during parts of the game. She was also one of the potential fighter options during the Indiegogo campaign alongside fellow team members Adam, Molly, and Panzerfaust. 

As for Quiñones, her voice may sound familiar. She’s Lynette, the four-star character from Fontaine, in Genshin Impact. She also played Kimberly in Street Fighter 6, Mirko in My Hero Academia, and Yelena in Attack on Titan.

We already know about a few other Skullgirls Mobile Guest Star characters who will eventually join the game. Minette and Brain Drain are confirmed. Minette seems to be the furthest along in development. Both were also, at one point, considered as possible playable characters in the main game during crowdfunding endeavors that included fighter votes.

Skullgirls Mobile is available on Android and Apple iOS devices, and there’s no release window for Roxie yet.

Aerith and Vincent are the latest characters on the new FFVII Ever Crisis weapon banner, which means new formal gear costumes for both of them. This marks the second outfit already for the former Turk, who debuted earlier in July 2024.

The two new weapons are the Citric Wand for Aerith and the Hugin & Munin gun for Vincent. Her new wand has the Fruitful Energy C. Ability that increases ice damage, restores her healing potency, and can increase her MATK if her health is over 50%. It also has the R. Abilities Boost MATK and Buff/Debuff Extension. The Hugin & Mugin gun has the Pentaburst C. Ability that deals non-elemental Mag Dmg to one enemy and increases his Limit Gauge. Its R. Abilities are Boost MATK and Boost Mag. Ability Pot. 

As for the two new pieces of gear in FFVII Ever Crisis, the Aerith and Vincent R Abilities were revealed as well. Her Citric Dress comes with the Magic Ability Mastery to boost her Magic Ability’s damage when her Attack Stance Command Gauge is maxed out and Magic Ward one that boosts HP and Mag Def. His Formal Attire also features Magic Ability Mastery and Magic Ward.

https://twitter.com/FFVII_EC_EN/status/1818466611608584522

The last Vincent gear was called Stray Dog. One of Aerith’s last pieces of gear was inspired by the Monster Hunter series.

Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis is available for PCs and mobile devices, and the new Aerith and Vincent banner with weapons and gear costumes is around until August 25, 2024.

HoYoVerse has released its final trailer for Yunli prior to her playable debut in Honkai: Star Rail. In the trailer, “Serendipity,” you can see both Yunli’s strength and her childish personality, as well as check out some cameos from familiar Xianzhou faces.

You can watch the “Serendipity” Yunli trailer for Honkai: Star Rail here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Q1XbBENTZI

It’s also available in Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

The trailer starts with a peaceful scene of Yunli napping when she wakes up to see Jing Yuan enjoying a snack of Berrypheasant Skewers. He then makes her grab for it like a dog or a show monkey or something, before a Diting snatches it out from midair, forcing her to chase after it. Somehow, the Diting runs all the way to the Shackling Prison and Yunli fights off enemies that appear. She defeats the final one with a move that even Saber from Fate would be proud of before she finally gets her Berrypheasant Skewer. Or so it would seem...

In terms of gameplay, Yunli will be a 5-star Physical Destruction character. Her kit focuses on her Ultimate, as well as her ability to counter enemy attacks. Her similarities to fellow 5-star Physical Destruction character Clara aren’t limited to the fact they both walk around barefoot.

Honkai: Star Rail is readily available on the PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. Version 2.4 of Honkai: Star Rail, which features Yunli in its first phase, comes out on July 30, 2024.

The new B-Komachi idols from Oshi no Ko will appear again in The Idolmaster: Shiny Colors in a new crossover. Bandai Namco revealed in a new live stream that it will launch a collaboration event for a limited time throughout August 2024.

The company had added the Hololive Vtuber Hoshimachi Suisei crossover to The Idolmaster: Cinderella Girls - Starlight Stage in March 2024. However, the collaboration between Shiny Colors and Oshi no Ko had run even earlier in July 2023. This will be the second time the company will feature the external franchise in the browser game.

The first event in 2023 featured Ruby, Kana, and MEMcho as produce-able idols. A revival gacha banner that launches on August 3, 2024, will give players another chance to obtain these characters.

Bandai Namco will also add more new character cards in the following weeks. The new B-Komachi idols will have new gacha cards that feature different costumes. It will also add a new support card featuring a younger Ruby with Ai looking after her. In addition, there will be a new crossover scenario that will reward a support card starring Akane upon completing its missions.

The company has also uploaded a new commercial trailer that shows MEMcho giving a quick rundown of the new crossover content:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHLLKiHdW1E

As a reminder, this crossover content will not be available in Song For Prism, the mobile and PC app game featuring 3D character models. Bandai Namco will only stage the collaboration in the original Shiny Colors game which has Live2D characters on its own Enza platform. Players can directly access the game from mobile and PC browsers without having to install a dedicated app, although the latter is also available to download.

The new Oshi no Ko crossover content will be available in the Enza browser game The Idolmaster: Shiny Colors for a limited time from August 3 until 30, 2024.

Former Honkai: Star Rail Argenti, Mr Tail English Voice Actor Thanks Fans https://www.siliconera.com/former-honkai-star-rail-argenti-mr-tail-english-voice-actor-thanks-fans/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=former-honkai-star-rail-argenti-mr-tail-english-voice-actor-thanks-fans https://www.siliconera.com/former-honkai-star-rail-argenti-mr-tail-english-voice-actor-thanks-fans/#respond Tue, 30 Jul 2024 13:30:17 +0000 https://www.siliconera.com/?p=1044933 argenti english voice actor honkai star rail

About a day after HoYoVerse silently replaced the voice actor for Argenti and Tail in the English version of Honkai: Star Rail, the voice actor in question—Adam Michael Gold—made a statement on his Twitter account. Though he did not give an explanation for why he is no longer those roles in the game, he reports that he’s happy and healthy, and that he’s grateful for the show of support.

In the statement, which you can read via a screenshot on his account, he starts by thanking people for the outpour of support. He adds that he really loves the Honkai: Star Rail community because of that. If he plans on releasing another statement in regards to the change in cast, it might be on another platform, as he notes social media isn’t the best place for that. The only hint he gave as to the reason behind the replacement is that he has a clear conscience about the situation, and he’s glad that he got the chance to play as Argenti and Tail in the first place, as he’s come to love these two characters.

It’s unknown if there is something going on behind the scenes with Honkai: Star Rail beyond controversy over the English casting for Moze (Chris Niosi). Niosi has since stepped down from the role. Argenti appeared in Versions 2.2 and 2.3. However, in both patches, the English version of Honkai: Star Rail was the only one in which Argenti did not have any voiced lines. It’s highly possible that Gold actually left during recording for those two patches and only announced it today due to HoYoVerse finding replacements for his two roles.

Honkai: Star Rail is readily available on the PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices.

Tensura Event to Appear in Granblue Fantasy https://www.siliconera.com/tensura-event-to-appear-in-granblue-fantasy/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tensura-event-to-appear-in-granblue-fantasy https://www.siliconera.com/tensura-event-to-appear-in-granblue-fantasy/#respond Tue, 30 Jul 2024 02:00:00 +0000 https://www.siliconera.com/?p=1044902 granblue fantasy tensura

Cygames announced an upcoming collaboration in Granblue Fantasy with Tensura, or That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime. The event will start from November 15, 2024.

Information for this first came out during the Granblue Fantasy livestream on July 27, 2024. In the announcement Tweet, Cygames also showed off how Rimuru, the protagonist of Tensura, will look like in the Granblue Fantasy art style. It shows them in their human form, with Ranga behind them. Rimuru and one more character, as well as a summon, will be free.

Cygames has not revealed the other characters or the summon that you’ll be able to get as part of this collaboration. As a note, two characters (with Rimuru as one of them) will be free, along with a summon. Two other ones will be gacha-exclusive rather than being attainable through clearing event missions. This is so that Cygames could include more collaboration characters in one event, which is something they couldn’t do in the past. It notes that the author for Tensura agreed to Cygames doing things a bit differently for the Granblue Fantasy event, so Cygames may do this again in the future.

As a note, because Cygames plans to dedicate a gacha to the Tensura collaboration, there will be an adjusted gacha schedule for the normal banners.

Granblue Fantasy is readily available on Internet browsers and mobile devices. The Tensura collaboration event will start in Granblue Fantasy from November 15, 2024, with more details to come later.

Honkai: Star Rail developer HoYoverse changed the English voice actors for five-star character Argenti and of Huohuo's companion Mr Tail, both of which were previously portrayed by actor Adam Michael Gold. The company yet to announce the change, but it has been changed on the official website and was spotted by hxg_diluc on social media. [Thanks, hxg_diluc on X!]

In Honkai: Star Rail, Argenti is a five-star Physical Erudition character who specializes in area of effect damage with his Skill and Ultimate. Huohuo, meanwhile, is a Wind Abundance unit and healer who can refill her allies' energy and dispel debuffs. Both characters appeared in Update 1.5, with Huohuo being featured on the gacha banner for the first half and Argenti in the second.

While no reason for the replacement has been disclosed by HoYoverse, the company listed the new Honkai: Star Rail voice actors on its official website. Argenti will now be voiced by Talon Warburton, while Aaron Veach will voice Mr Tail.

Earlier in July 2024, HoYoverse announced that Chris Niosi would also be stepping down as the voice actor of upcoming character Moze after public outcry concerning allegations of abuse. Meanwhile, the company also released more details on Yunli, who will appear in the game as a Physical Destruction type character.

Honkai: Star Rail is available now for the PC, PS5, and mobile devices,

See How the Honkai Impact 3rd Songque Battlesuit Could Have Looked https://www.siliconera.com/see-how-the-honkai-impact-3rd-songque-battlesuit-could-have-looked/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=see-how-the-honkai-impact-3rd-songque-battlesuit-could-have-looked https://www.siliconera.com/see-how-the-honkai-impact-3rd-songque-battlesuit-could-have-looked/#respond Mon, 29 Jul 2024 18:00:00 +0000 https://www.siliconera.com/?p=1044780 See How the Honkai Impact 3rd Songque Battlesuit Could Have Looked

HoYoVerse shared concept art for the Honkai Impact 3rd Songque Battlesuit Jovial Deception: Shadowdimmer, which is live now in the game. The latest Typewriter Art Archives highlighted the Chinese influences, going over six options before showing the final one that was chosen.

In the case of each early piece of Honkai Impact 3rd Jovial Deception: Shadowdimmer concept art, there are often multiple looks at the outfit from different approaches or focused-in images of certain details. All of them have Chinese influences, though it varies as to whether they are traditional or modern elements. There are also parts that signify the fact that she sort of fights like a mage or summoner, such as a bagua, coins, scrolls, talismans, 

Here are all of the pieces of art HoYoVerse shared:

As a reminder, Songque is a notable character in Honkai Impact 3rd Part 2. She first showed up almost from the beginning. However, initially she was only playable as an AstralOps unit. It’s only a few patches in that the Shu got a Battlesuit.

Honkai Impact 3rd is available for PCs and mobile devices, and the Songque Jovial Deception: Shadowdimmer Battlesuit is part of a limited banner following the 7.6 update.
