Ahead of the 7.6 version of Honkai Impact 3rd, HoYoVerse offered a better look at the Songque Jovial Deception: Shadowdimmer Battlesuit. While she previously appeared as an AstralOp ally, this marks the first time she’ll properly join the fight as an S-Rank unit.
The introduction to the playable version of Songque begins with her calling out to the player. She offers to tell their fortune after leaping down from a bridge. (This is because she’s working as a fortune teller in Langqiu.) From there, we get to see a gameplay clip showing her in battle and attacking with a Trick Staff. After that, the developers and voice actress Zhao Shuang talk about the Shu of Deception. They also talked about her Taoist elements in her designs, her form change, and how she was designed to be more like a mage or summoner.
Here’s the full Jovial Deception: Shadowdimmer Honkai Impact 3rd trailer. If you turn on closed captions, English subtitles are available.
This Honkai Impact 3rd Battlesuit arrives following a Part 2 boss fight against Perception, who masqueraded as Songque. That appeared in the 7.5 update. HoYoVerse recently shared a cutscene from it, showing Lantern and Songque fighting back against Perception’s attacks.
Honkai Impact 3rd is available for PCs and mobile devices, and the Songque Jovial Deception: Shadowdimmer Battlesuit will appear in the 7.6 update.
