Honkai Impact 3rd v8.6 | S-rank Spy Rita Explained!

Greetings, Captain! The brand-new S-rank character Rita 「Silhouette Spy」 will make her debut in Version 8.6. Let’s check out the new character information together!

For her, whether it’s making lava cake or disassembling a submachine gun, the same level of rigor is required.

She also firmly believes that whether it’s tidying a room or dismantling a conspiracy, the same system should be followed—

Perfection is her only principle.

「Silhouette Spy Shadow」 is an Imaginary character who uses a scythe. She deals Lightning Damage to enemies and can also give Paralyze Trauma. The perfect maid has put on a new outfit, and she still upholds her unchanging oath on the path of her new mission. When dealing with numerous tasks, Rita is capable of “being in many places at once”. During specific attacks, she can use the Weapon Skill 「Reenact」 to immediately release a similar attack again and leave a “Phantom” to continue the current attack. Under the protection of Astral Ring Division · Wheel of Destiny, when Rita’s team activates the Wheel of Destiny, she can continue to gain Astral Ring Charge even after the Astral Ring Charge reaches the max limit. When the overflowing energy reaches a certain value, various special effects can be obtained.

When on the ground, Rita can launch a four-hit normal attack combo on enemies, dealing Lightning DMG. The fourth hit can restore a certain amount of charge to the charge gauge 「Charming Form」. When in the air, she will unleash a downward strike. *See GIF Below

When the charge gauge is fully charged, hold the attack button to consume all charge and unleash a combo attack, dealing Lightning DMG to enemies and adding Paralyze Trauma. *See GIF Below

When you activate the Ultimate Skill, Rita will swing her scythe, darting around enemies like a thunderbolt to launch attacks. After darting around, a massive flurry of strikes will instantly erupt, dealing high Lightning DMG to enemies. During her Ult, she’s invincible and triggers global Time Fracture. *See GIF Below

During specific attacks, tap the weapon button to activate the Weapon Skill 「Reenact」—immediately unleash a similar attack again, leaving a “Phantom” to continue the current attack. When the reenacted attack hits a Nihilus Shell, the damage taken will be transferred to the Nihilus Seed at a certain ratio. Directly hitting a Nihilus Seed with HP below a certain percentage will instantly defeat the enemy. Some reenacted attacks can also attach a Paralysis Gauge to enemies. When activated during the 4th hit of a Normal Attack, it’ll repeat the 4th hit, dealing extra Lightning DMG, and restoring the Charge Gauge at the same time. *See GIF Below

When activated during a Combo Attack, Rita will execute a higher-dmg Combo Attack and trigger global Time Fracture. *See GIF Below

When activated during QTE, she will repeat the QTE, dealing extra Lightning DMG, and restoring Charge Gauge at the same time. If equipped with her recommended weapons 「Codename: Silhouette」 or 「Codename: Supreme Mission」, both the QTE and its repeated attack will restore extra Charge Gauge. *See GIF Below

When activated during Ultimate Evasion, she teleports instantly to the enemy’s front and deals Lightning DMG. If equipped with her recommended weapons, the Ultimate Evasion will restore extra Astral Ring Charge. *See GIF Below

When activated during her Ultimate while in Stellar Outburst, Rita will launch another Ult Attack alongside her Phantom, dealing massive Lightning DMG to enemies. After the attack finishes, Stellar Outburst state will end immediately, and Astral Ring Energy will be refunded at a certain ratio based on the remaining duration. During this period, Rita is invincible and triggers the global Time Fracture effect. *See GIF Below

When the Wheel of Destiny is activated by Rita’s team, during the Astral Ring Charging state, once the Astral Ring Charge reaches its max limit, the 「Astral Ring Surplus」 state is entered. In this state, each point of Astral Ring Energy gained is converted into 1 point of Overflow Energy (capped at 20 pts). Activating Stellar Outburst will reset the Overflow Energy to zero and exit 「Stellar Ring Surplus」 state. 「Stellar Ring Surplus」 state increases dmg taken by enemies. When Overflow Energy reaches 10 pts, the team’s total dmg is increased. Additionally, entering Stellar Outburst with 10 or 20 points of Overflow Energy will grant varying degrees of total dmg bonuses. When Rita is the team leader and Wheel of Destiny is activated, reaching 10 points of Overflow Energy will replace off-field characters with Rita’s Shadow Servant to assist in battle. Tapping the assist button will trigger a Shadow Servant attack, while Rita unleashes an Astral Shadow Attack and enters the Astral Ring Dance state for a certain duration. During this state, up to 3 Reenact attacks can be consecutively activated during the 4th hit of Normal Attack. After entering Stellar Outburst, off-field characters will also be replaced by Shadow Servants to assist in battle. *See GIF Below

Rita possesses the Stellar Ring Trait · Heavenly Shift. When Law of Ascension is activated, after entering Stellar Outburst state, selecting Rita to enter the field will trigger「Stellar Shift」. *See GIF Below
