The process of taking part should be familiar to anyone who’s been playing the game for a while, as it is identical to past tests. First, open up the game. In the news section, there should be an announcement called “Recruiting v8.1 Testers.” Open that, then fill out the survey you’ll find mentioned there. HoYoVerse will then notify players who are selected to take part. 

We don’t know too much about the Ba-dum! Fiery Wishing Star Battlesuit for Kiana debuting in Honkai Impact 3rd just yet. It is an S-rank unit. This is also the first new Battlesuit for the character since Part 2 kicked off in February 2024

The return of Kiana in Honkai Impact 3rd 8.1 marks the second reappearance of a Part 1 character in 2025. The first was Bianka “Durandal” Ataegina. She showed up in the 8.0 update that appeared in January 2025. That is also an S-rank unit.

Honkai Impact 3rd is available for PCs and mobile devices, and players can register for the 8.1 test server in-game now.
