Honkai Impact 3rd Twitch Drops Event Announced

While the 8.1 update arrives for Honkai Impact 3rd on February 20, 2025, a new Twitch Drops event started to help lead into it. HoYoVerse announced the promotion on social media. People can immediately collect Crystals, which they could then put toward things like a Supplies gacha banner, and other items for watching.

Taking part is a fairly simple process. First, someone needs to have both a HoYoVerse ID and Twitch account. You then need to head to the event page to link the two of them. All streams in the game’s category count. You then have until March 20, 2025 to watch streams to get rewards. In addition to the Crystals, the official banner also icons for items like Asterite, Phase Shifters, Stamina Potions. 

However, the number of Crystals you can get during the Honkai Impact 3rd Twitch Drops event isn’t very substantial. Only up to 120 can be earned for taking part. For context, you need 280 to pull on a Battlesuit Supply or AstralOp Supply banner. A Dorm Supply banner is slightly cheaper at 200 Crystals per pull.

In addition to the Honkai Impact 3rd Twitch Drops event, there’s a new trailer for the game. When the 8.1 update arrives, the new Kiana Kaslana Battlesuit Ba-Dum! Fiery Wishing Star will appear. It’s a new S-rank version of the character. The extended video begins by introducing who she is and showing her during a festival. From there, it shifts focus to gameplay to show how she’ll attack and inflict Passion Marks on enemies to help deal additional damage.

Here’s that new trailer. If you turn on closed captions, an official English translation is available.

A Theresa Apocalypse AstralOps unit will also debut in the 8.1 update.

Honkai Impact 3rd is available for PCs and mobile devices, and the 8.1 update is on the way on February 20, 2025.
