Honkai Impact 3rd Test Server Recruitment Opens Ahead of 8.0

A major milestone 8.0 patch milestone is coming to Honkai Impact 3rd, and that means there’ll also be a test server open ahead of launch for folks to help HoYoVerse check it out. The announcement on social media also confirmed those who participate get to test out the upcoming Mini Durandal Battlesuit called Reign Solar, which was previously revealed at the end of November 2024. 

As usual, you can only register to be considered as a Honkai Impact 3rd test server participate for 8.0 if you are actively playing the game. This is because sign-ups are tied to opening the game, going to the “Recruiting v8.0 Testers” announcement, and then completing the survey offered there. Not everyone who applies will be chosen. Those who are picked will be alerted by HoYoVerse and told they can take part. 

One of the highlights of this part of the test is the aforementioned opportunity to see how the new Mini Durandal Battlesuit works in Honkai Impact 3rd. She’s an S-rank imaginary character who will deal physical damage to enemies. She wields a javelin when goes out into the field and has the option to ride a hoverboard as she fights. You can opt into that by shifting to Hoverboard Form. This is similar to a past Durandal one with multiple forms, as Palatinus Equinox let someone shift between Guardian and Knight. As a post 7.5 unit, she’ll also have Astral Ring support.

At the moment, there’s still time to take advantage of the Honkai Impact 3rd Honkai: Star Rail crossover. That added Sparkle as a playable character. You can also earn a costume for her Battlesuit. Sampo appeared as a boss fight as well. 

Honkai Impact 3rd is available for PCs and mobile devices, and test server recruitment is now open for the 8.0 build ahead of that update’s launch.
