Honkai Impact 3rd Sparkle Battlesuit Uses Honkai: Star Rail UI

HoYoVerse shared a full presentation that explained how Honkai: Star Rail Sparkle gameplay was implemented into Honkai Impact 3rd with her new Battlesuit, and it explained how the team ended up implementing one game’s UI in the other for her attacks. This is done in a comedic fashion, unlike similar explanation videos taking folks behind the scenes of Honkai Impact 3rd characters, to keep with the tone of Elation.

After initially teasing some Sparkle and Vita fanservice and bringing up how her magical tricks would show in her moveset, the team got to talking about also adding teammates to her attacks. While initially they mentioned her turning into allies, they then decided to bring the Honkai: Star Rail UI into her moveset for her finisher. At this point, it mimics when she would use her The Hero with a Thousand Faces Ultimate in her original game. The showcase then shifts to gameplay footage to show how this works in-game.

Here’s a screenshot from the showcase that shows how the Sparkle Battlesuit will include the Honkai: Star Rail UI when used in Honkai Impact 3rd.

Prior to this reveal and footage, we did get to see quite a bit of Sparkle in the crossover. One cinematic trailer pitted her against Honkai Impact 3rd’s Vita. Another highlighted elements of her design, brought up details about her Battlesuit elements, and teased equipment for her. 

Honkai Impact 3rd is available on the PC and mobile devices. Honkai: Star Rail is on the PS5, PC, and mobile devices. The Honkai: Star Rail crossover event with Sparkle will appear in Honkai Impact 3rd on November 28, 2024.
