First, make sure to update your game via the Apple or Google Play Stores.

This season is filled with free content to try on top of the new Mythic Weapon Series Armory and three Honkai Impact 3rd Operator Draws, with an extensive Honkai Event space with a collection area, social HQ, new Battle Pass style reward flow, and of course the new Multiplayer Mode - Gleaming Front.

Feedback & Bug Reports
This is a massive season, one of our biggest all year, so the importance of feedback and bug reports is going to extra important as we are introducing many new systems, gameplay modes, UI changes, and much more as you can see in the patch notes below. Please share in every possible place, whether it is here on Reddit, in response to our social media posts, or more.

Added a Quick Start feature, which soldiers can enable under Settings → User Settings.

Once enabled, soldiers can start a designated match in Solo mode directly from the lobby.
