Honkai Impact 3rd 7.1 Update Brings Back A Familiar Flame Chaser

HoYoverse has announced the release date for the 7.1 update for Honkai Impact 3rd, which sees the return of a character from the game’s Flame Chaser arc.

Version 7.1 for Honkai Impact 3rd, titled Starbound Painter launches on December 7th, and brings a new battlesuit based on Griseo, the youngest of the thirteen Flame Chasers from the Elysian Realm.

Griseo’s new battlesuit is called Cosmic Expression, and is a character that uses a pen as a laser sword to deal with enemies.

Here’s the description for Cosmic Expression’s playstyle, courtesy of HoYoverse:

The new SP battlesuit Griseo’s [Cosmic Expression] is an SD-type support battlesuit dealing Bleed DMG. Internal Energy is a crucial part of her combat mechanics, similar to kinetic energy for battlesuits. While in battle, Griseo wields a laser saber, and leaves a Beacon around enemies on the field. Her Internal Energy can be restored through her different attacks. When Internal Energy is fully charged and a Beacon is present, Griseo can consume all of her Internal Energy to cast her Special Weapon Skill and then her Ultimate, which summons a colossal meteor that descends from above to hit enemies within the Beacon’s range and deal Physical Bleed DMG. Furthermore, as a reliable supporter, she can also boost her team’s DMG.

That’s not all that’s coming to the update, however: Chapter XLII of the game’s story will also be added with this version, which sees the adult Griseo and Fu Hua reuniting to take on Sa, the mastermind of the current arc.

Additionally, this version will also see the addition of a new event that allows players to redeem a free Herrscherr of Sentience battlesuit by completing in-game tasks.
