Honkai Impact 3rd changes
Dear Captain, today we will introduce you to the new AstralOp "Bailu Youyun" and the new Divine Key "Blue Thunder Shuttle EX19" coming in v8.8. Let's check them out together~
☆☆☆☆☆ AstralOp Bailu Youyun ☆☆☆☆☆
"How can someone be called 'professor' and still have a headache over homework from the institute?!"
She is the youngest researcher, the genius who carries forward the wishes of those now gone, and the pioneer who dares to push against the tide.
She is also the head taster of the bubble tea shop's new drinks, the producer and light engineer of the theater in her head, and the star performer beneath sunlit skies.
And more than anything, she is an ordinary girl who loves to be doted on and loves to dream...
A girl who will clasp her friends' hands as they step into the future they've all been dreaming of.
◆ How to Obtain
After the v8.8 update until 12:00, JUN 12, you are guaranteed to get S-rank AstralOp Bailu Youyun in 60 AstralOp Supply drops. Plus, every 10 drops of the first 60 drops reward Equipment Supply Card x2, meaning you can obtain up to Equipment Supply Card x12 in this Supply event!
"Bailu Youyun" will get a rerun in the future v8.9.
◆ Skill Showcase
When the team enters Stellar Outburst, they cast a Synergy attack to pull in surrounding enemies and deal Lightning DMG. While World Star is active, during Stellar Outburst, after any character depletes Quantum Mech Energy, when another character triggers Resonance for the first time, Youyun will cast "Well-Prepared Cannon Fire!" once. It deals Lightning DMG to enemies, triggers Resonance that deals Adaptive DMG, and restores Astral Ring Intensity, all without consuming the trigger chances of Domain Resonance Marks.
While World Star or Wheel of Destiny is active, during Stellar Outburst, enemies on the field take more Elemental DMG and Physical DMG from all team members. During Astral Ring Charging, when Astral Ring Intensity maxes out, Stellar Outburst's CD is reduced. When World Star is active, the character's Crit Rate increases, and the excess is converted into Crit DMG at a certain rate.
After reaching SS-rank, while World Star is active, if the leader has no moves to cancel Stellar Outburst, this character can cast Ultimate to cancel Stellar Outburst and regain some Intensity.
During Astral Ring Charging, when the character hits an enemy, all team members temporarily gain the Intensity Recovery state that continuously restores Astral Ring Intensity.
While World Star or Wheel of Destiny is active, when entering Stellar Outburst, Stellar Surplus's Surplus Intensity is converted into Astral Ring Intensity at a certain rate. The character restores Astral Ring Intensity when unleashing Resonance attacks or Shadow Servant attacks. While World Star is active, the cap of Stellar Surplus's Surplus Intensity increases.

☆☆☆☆☆Divine Key Blue Thunder Shuttle EX19☆☆☆☆☆
A flagship weapon jointly developed by the reborn St. 1504 Labs and Studio Reason. Built on a design philosophy merged with gaming creativity, it boasts a striking appearance, exceptional architecture, and a visually enticing user experience. As its designer and owner, Miss Bronya Zaychik, once said...
"The soul of this weapon lies not in its ingenious design nor in its tremendous firepower, but in the thread of eccentric thinking woven into it. Past experiments dance like flames within its mechanical framework, becoming the fuse where passion and creativity collide, ultimately setting the entire world alight."
◆ How to Obtain

◆ Skill Showcase
Active Skill: Cosmic Resonance
Fires an energy bullet to deal Ice AoE DMG and create a large black hole that constantly pulls nearby enemies. Additional effects are unlocked when equipped by Silverwing: N-EX.
When equipped by Silverwing: N-EX, Astral Ring Specialization: World Star will be activated, granting her the Astral Ring traits Domain Resonance and Heavenly Shift, as well as the corresponding Astral Ring skills. Additionally, enemies take more Physical and Elemental DMG from the team.
While Astral Ring is active, after expanding the Scatter Barrier, hold [ATK] or wait for N-EX Threshold to decrease to 0 to unleash Mirage Impact, where Silverwing: N-EX passes through the barrier and generates a mirage for a powerful coordinated slash, dealing Ice DMG and collapsing the Scatter Barrier.
After unleashing Mirage Impact, Silverwing: N-EX's next Ultimate increases the Ice DMG she deals to all enemies (independent). Entering or exiting Stellar Outburst clears this effect.
While World Star is active, during Astral Ring Charging, max out Astral Ring Intensity to enter Stellar Surplus, where every 1 point of Astral Ring Intensity gained is converted into 1 point of Surplus Intensity, with a cap of 20 points. All points are removed upon entering Stellar Outburst.
When Silverwing: N-EX is the leader, if there are at least 10 points of Surplus Intensity and she is on the field, her Weapon Skill CD will be reset. Casting Weapon Skill at this time leaves Harmonic Annotation as Domain Resonance Mark and gives 4 points of Quantum Mech Energy to Silverwing: N-EX. Mash [ATK] to attack consecutively and trigger Domain Resonance Mark.
During Stellar Outburst, while World Star is active, Silverwing: N-EX can consume Quantum Mech Energy to trigger Domain Resonance Mark. Mash [ATK] to attack consecutively. Each point of Quantum Mech Energy consumed restores a certain amount of SP.
When Silverwing: N-EX is the leader, entering Stellar Outburst generates Harmonic Annotation as Domain Resonance Mark. Harmonic Annotation devours all Domain Resonance Marks generated by all teammates and automatically triggers Resonance 3 times. This attack does not consume the trigger chances of the character's Domain Resonance Mark.
When Silverwing: N-EX is the leader, during Stellar Outburst, her Ultimate is replaced by Critical Overload. Casting Critical Overload without Quantum Mech Energy summons missiles to bombard the target, dealing massive Ice DMG, after which Stellar Outburst ends.
