When the 7.1 update arrives, a new Griseo battlesuit will appear in Honkai Impact 3rd. HoYoVerse detailed Cosmic Expression, an SP rank unit, in a new video ahead of its debut.
The video begins with some gameplay showing how this grown-up version of Griseo fights. While the original battlesuit for her was based on her younger self and involved painting elements, here she is wielding a light saber-like sword. The announcement also confirmed she will be the game’s first SD character.
After the gameplay, it mentions she was part of Project Ark. This sent her across the universe, and meant she grew up in a sense of stasis before returning. Due to her new wanderer role, her tools like star charts and a telescope, are attached to her dress. The videos of the designers show them using a dual-bladed light saber during the process, and the team mentioned fellow Flame Chaser member Vill-V gave her a pen-like laser saber and sci-fi videos to watch while traveling. The idea is her moveset is inspired by the entertainment she watched and feature “cosmic” elements.
Here’s the full preview.
As a reminder, the 7.0 update added a Theresa Apocalypse variant. The Lunar Vow: Crimson Love battlesuit debuted in October 2023. Before that we saw a Promare crossover in 6.9.
Honkai Impact 3rd is available for the PC and mobile devices, and the Griseo Cosmic Expression battlesuit appears in 7.1. The new update is expected to appear in November 2023.
