Game Guides

When you begin Honkai Impact 3rd, try not to make mistakes that slow down new players. Many new players have problems with using resources, choosing the wrong Valkyries, or wasting Stamina. This Bahomu Beginner Guide helps you make good choices so you can keep moving forward and have fun.

Choosing Your Valkyrie

Starter Selection

When you start Honkai Impact 3rd, you get to pick your first Valkyrie. This choice matters because your starter will help you clear early missions and learn the game. You might feel tempted to pick the coolest-looking character, but you should focus on their skills and roles. For most new players, Kiana, Mei, and Bronya are the main options. Each one has a different combat style. Kiana is great for close combat, Mei uses fast attacks, and Bronya fights from a distance.

Tip: Try each Valkyrie in the tutorial before you decide. You can see which playstyle feels best for you.

Here’s a quick comparison to help you:

Early Upgrades

After you pick your starter, you should upgrade her as soon as possible. Use your early resources to level up her skills and equip her with better gear. You don’t need to spread your resources across all Valkyries right away. Focus on your main character so you can clear story stages and events faster.

• Upgrade your Valkyrie’s weapon first.

• Level up her skills when you get enough materials.

• Equip stigmata for extra stats.

The Beginner Guide recommends you check upgrade menus often. You can unlock new abilities and make your Valkyrie much stronger. If you keep your starter upgraded, you’ll have an easier time with tough battles.

Beginner Guide: Gacha and Crystals

Gacha Basics

You will see the gacha system as soon as you start playing Honkai Impact 3rd. Gacha lets you pull for new Valkyries, weapons, and stigmata. You use crystals or special cards to make these pulls. The game gives you free pulls at the start, so you can try your luck without spending anything.

You might feel excited when you see the flashy animations and rare items. Don’t rush. Take your time and learn how each supply works. Some banners offer better chances for strong Valkyries or gear. Always check the drop rates before you spend your resources.

Tip: Save your crystals for banners that feature top-tier Valkyries or weapons. You will get more value and progress faster.

Here’s a quick look at the main supply types:

Crystal Spending

Crystals are your most valuable currency in Honkai Impact 3rd. You earn them from story missions, events, and daily tasks. You might want to spend them right away, but smart choices help you get the best rewards.

Here’s how you can use crystals wisely:

1. Focus on Expansion and Equipment Supplies: These banners give you the strongest Valkyries and gear. You will need them for harder stages.

2. Wait for Rate-Up Events: Sometimes, the game boosts the chances for rare items. Pull during these times to maximize your rewards.

3. Don’t Spend Crystals on Dorm Supply: Dorm Supply offers common Valkyries. You can use free Dorm Supply cards instead. Save your crystals for better banners.

Note: The Beginner Guide always recommends saving crystals for banners with high-value rewards. You will thank yourself later when you get a powerful Valkyrie or weapon.

Dorm Supply Tips

Dorm Supply looks tempting, but you should avoid spending crystals here. The rewards are usually basic Valkyries you can get for free or with Dorm Supply cards. You will get Dorm Supply cards from missions, events, and login bonuses.

Here’s what you should do:

• Use free Dorm Supply cards for pulls.

• Save all your crystals for Expansion or Equipment Supplies.

• Check your inventory for unused Dorm Supply cards before spending anything.

If you follow these tips, you will build a strong roster without wasting resources. The Beginner Guide wants you to make smart choices so you can enjoy the game and progress quickly.

Stamina and Events

Stamina Use

Stamina is your ticket to playing more stages in Honkai Impact 3rd. You want to use it wisely, especially if you play for free. If you spend stamina on the right activities, you level up faster and get better rewards. Here’s what you should keep in mind:

• Stamina helps you earn experience points (XP) and level up.

• You need stamina for daily missions and story stages.

• Spend stamina on limited-time events to get the best rewards for your Valkyries.

If you log in every day and use your stamina, you’ll see your team grow stronger. Don’t let stamina sit unused!

Universal Mirage

Universal Mirage is one of the best places to spend your stamina early on. You get valuable rewards that help you progress quickly. Try to complete Universal Mirage as soon as you unlock it. Here’s what you can earn:

These rewards boost your level and give you materials for upgrades. If you finish Universal Mirage early, you’ll have a big advantage in the game.

Event Rewards

Events are your chance to grab extra crystals and upgrade materials. You don’t want to miss out! Regular event participation gives you a ton of useful items. Check out what you can get:

If you follow the Beginner Guide and join events, you’ll collect more crystals and upgrade your Valkyries faster. Events also make the game more fun and give you new goals to chase.

Team Building and Equipment

Balanced Team

You want a team that can handle anything the game throws at you. In Honkai Impact 3rd, every stage brings new challenges. Some enemies are weak to certain attack types or elements. If you build a balanced team building, you can switch between Valkyries and always have the right answer.

Try to include these roles in your team:

• Damage Dealer: This Valkyrie does most of the damage. She clears enemies fast.

• Support: This one boosts your team or weakens enemies. She helps everyone do better.

• Tank or Shield: This Valkyrie takes hits and keeps your team safe.

You can mix and match Valkyries to fit your playstyle. If you like fast attacks, pick a quick damage dealer. If you want to stay safe, add a tank. You can always swap team members as you unlock more Valkyries.

Tip: Some stages need a certain type of damage, like physical or elemental. Check the enemy info before you start. Change your team if you need to.

Equipment Focus

Your Valkyries need good gear to reach their full power. In Honkai Impact 3rd, equipment makes a huge difference. You have two main types of equipment to think about:

• Weapons: Each Valkyrie uses a special weapon, like swords, guns, cannons, or scythes. Weapons give you new skills and boost your attacks. Try to get better weapons for your main Valkyries as soon as you can.

• Stigmata: These are special items you equip in three slots: top, middle, and bottom. Stigmata give you extra stats like attack, HP, defense, and critical rate. If you use a matching set, you get even more bonuses.

You don’t need the rarest gear right away. Focus on upgrading the weapons and stigmata you already have. Even basic equipment can help a lot if you level it up. You can also explore high-quality merchandise from Bahomu to show your passion for the game.

Here’s a quick table to help you see what each equipment type does:

Note: Always check if your Valkyrie has the right weapon type. Some weapons only work for certain Valkyries.

Upgrades

Upgrading your team and equipment is the key to winning harder battles. You should focus your resources on your main team first. Don’t try to upgrade every Valkyrie and every piece of gear at once. That will drain your materials fast.

Here’s how you can upgrade smartly:

1. Level Up Your Valkyries: Use EXP chips to make your main team stronger.

2. Upgrade Weapons: Spend materials to boost weapon stats. This gives you more damage right away.

3. Enhance Stigmata: Level up stigmata for better stats. Try to complete sets for bonus effects.

4. Unlock Skills: Use skill materials to open new abilities for your Valkyries.

If you follow these steps, your team will get stronger every day. The Beginner Guide always points out that steady upgrades help you clear new stages and events with less trouble.

Pro Tip: Save rare upgrade materials for your best gear. Don’t waste them on items you will replace soon.

Unlock Your Full Potential Now

Shops and Armada

Shop Offers

You’ll find lots of items in the Honkai Impact 3rd shop, but not everything is worth your crystals. If you want to get stronger fast, you should check the shop every day for limited-time deals and useful resources. Some items help you more than others, especially when you’re just starting out.

Here’s what you should focus on first:

1. Use crystals for supply pulls. Supplies give you powerful gear and battlesuits you can’t get anywhere else.

2. Land of Wishes (LoW). This feature lets you farm characters at a low cost. It’s a smart way to build your team.

3. S-rank Valkyrie fragments in the logistics terminal. These fragments help you unlock or upgrade strong Valkyries, but only buy them if you really need them.

4. Dorm supply cards. Use these cards until you have two S-rank Valkyries. Save your crystals for better banners.

5. Skip starter supplies for Valkyries. They don’t guarantee useful characters for beginners.

6. Focus on equipment supplies. These banners guarantee weapons and stigmata that boost your team.

Tip: Always check for special offers before you spend your crystals. Some deals only last a short time!
