Honkai Impact 3rd 5.8 Update Adds Griseo And More Open World Content

Hoyoverse has just announced the release date for the 5.8 update for Honkai Impact 3rd, which sees the addition of a new valkyrie as well as more updates to the game’s story.

The Honkai Impact 3rd 5.8 update will launch on June 30th, bringing with it a new Open World story as well as Chapter XXX of the main story.

Here’s a summary of the new valkyrie, Griseo, courtesy of Hoyoverse:

Griseo is a PSY-type SP melee fighter who provides Physical support mainly by applying the Bleed debuff. Griseo splashes paint on the battle field, landing different attacks that can grant corresponding buffs. As for her ultimate, it unfolds a huge piece of canvas and deals one-time AoE DMG to enemies. The color buffs that come along can also be transferred to the next deployed Valkyrie if she exits during the time. As a talented artist, Griseo can also paint out Mr. Knight, the gentleman that keeps her safe and holds her up whenever she is under attack.
