Honkai Impact 3rd 6.8 release date, major events, rewards, and everything new

Honkai Impact 3rd 6.8 will be the newest addition to every captain's journey as HoYoverse introduces the community to a new saga. With so many Valkyries turning into Herrschers over the last four years, it is finally time for one of the first characters in the game, Selee Vollerei, to obtain her own Herrscher form. The update titled "Saha and Rebirth" is scheduled to release on August 3.

This can be considered one of Honkai Impact 3rd's biggest updates in recent times, as the last Herrscher was released in February 2023 when Kiana's Herrscher of Finality came to the game. With the introduction of multiple new characters since the main story's conclusion, the community can expect the start of a brand-new saga. Version 6.8 seems like the first cannon update into that story.

The following article lists the new playable battlesuit of Selee, her abilities, events, and more details on Honkai Impact 3rd v6.8.

Herscherr Selee's Soul Shaper form can summon a special minion to attack enemies by performing basic attack combinations. However, she shines upon casting her ultimate, which reduces the Physical DEF of anyone on the field. This, in turn, can guarantee a critical hit from other party members through switching or QTE.

In the Life Binder form, Selee will summon a different minion to constantly deal damage to anyone on the field. Selee's basic attacks also amplify, with every fourth attack dealing an increased Physical burst damage. Lastly, her Life Form's ultimate will allow her to cast a great burst of damage, following a unique attack stance to hit everyone.
