Honkai Impact 3rd fans are eagerly awaiting the game's version 4.9 update, which is scheduled for worldwide release on July 8, 2021. This upcoming update features a fantastic crossover that unites the two worlds of miHoYo, bringing together beloved Genshin Impact characters like Fischl and Keqing in the world of the Valkyries. Fischl is the first real archer to appear in Honkai Impact 3rd, and she'll even have her own story that unfolds throughout the game's narrative.

Fischl is one of Genshin Impact's most recognizable characters, and the team at Honkai Impact 3rd had to find a way to preserve the Prinzessin's unique charm (and, of course, her noblewoman's laugh) while strengthening her iconic move sets. Archer Electro will feature updated moves in the 3rd Honkai Impact crossover event, with his original poses exaggerated to make his actions even more fierce and fluid in combat. When Fischl summons Oz, who also received a move extension, she will enter a rapid-fire mode. The Honkai team also redesigned Fischl's ultimate attack from the ground up, giving it a dramatic new style.
Keqing, who is included in the crossover as a guest trial character, is even more agile and efficient than before, with combat moves that are utterly satisfying. Keqing's character will act as a guide during certain quests, and she can be fully controlled in specific story battles.

Fischl and Keqing aren't the only two surprises in the upcoming Honkai Impact 3rd update. Theresa's adorable Klee-inspired crossover outfit will be available in-game during the v4.9 event.
