After one of the most extended arcs featuring the Elysian Realm, Honkai Impact 3rd is all set to shift gears with the v6.1 update arriving on October 27. Players across the world can expect their favorite Valkyries to reunite, as new story chapters and events will be released for the community.

Once the update goes live, a new Battlesuit for Li Sushang will become available in Supply, alongside the 5th Anniversary events. Typically, players can expect a 6-hour maintenance period before the update hits official servers in all three regions.

The following article provides details about all the significant upcoming content arriving with v6.1.

Li Sushang will debut as a playable character in the 6.1 update under her battlesuit name of "Jade Knight." She will be the S-ranked PSY-type support Valkyrie, dealing ice damage to enemies. Her weapon type will be Gauntlets, much like her parent's teacher, Fu Hua.

While in combat, Li Sushang will be able to accumulate "Blade Sanction" with each attack, which can be further used to perform combo attacks on enemies. Her ultimate ability summons a massive sword from the sky, damaging enemies and buffing an ally's ice damage.

Like other S-rank Valkyries, Li Sushang will receive her own set of Stigmata and weapons, which will be called the Eternal Moon set and Nocturnal Stealth, respectively.

Honkai Impact 3rd will celebrate its 5th Anniversary with the upcoming update, where HoYoverse will be giving away plenty of resources and crystals through different events. To start, players can log into the game right now to get Focused Supply Cards and a special Kiana Anniversary Stigma.

After the update goes live on October 27, players can roll ten drops on the Focused Supply A for free. Starting October
