Obtain the new battle suit
In the new collaboration in v4.5, by participating in the main event, you will eventually come to a point where the new SP suit [Blazing Hope], is unlocked for free. Completing the missions of the same event (New Century) will earn you Shards of Blazing Hope, up to x100, needed to unlock her and raise her to S Rank.
Additionally, by spending SP Supply Cards, you can purchase Drops in the corresponding Battle Supply. After firing 25 drops, Blazing Hope is guaranteed to drop, so be sure to spend your resources before this event ends, if you want to. Additional bonuses can be obtained by shooting 10, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 drops respectively, which can earn you an additional 100 shards. Along with these shards and drops, players who join the event will be rewarded other goodies, so there's something for everyone, even if you're not interested in Asuka and her kit.
The main plot of the event goes like this. A group of fighters find themselves in the midst of an angel invasion. The 4th, 6th and 8th angels will appear throughout the event, who are recognizable enemies to anyone who has watched or read this great story, at the time. Meanwhile, Asuka, a girl from another world, lost all of her memories coming to our universe here. Being the veteran fighter that she is, she is barely embarrassed by this setback, thus starting your journey to this event.
Asuka, with her new suit, is a very powerful physical damage dealer, with excellent nukes at her disposal, capable of reaching a large number of DPS. Take advantage of her charged attack and ultimate, and she will make her enemies tremble with fear. If they are able to survive, that is.
Honkai Impact 3e is free, for everyone, and the collaboration event with Neon Genesis Evangelion Launches 22 January.
