Guide to the Ruler of Rebirth in Honkai Impact 3rd

Players who have played Honkai Impact 3rd for a long time or have paid close attention to the game's story probably know a character named Sirin. Although she is an important figure in the HI3rd story and has appeared in various Stigmata and events over the years, Sirin had never before had her own playable battlesuit (although she was available as an ELF). Version 6.9 of the game titled "Cutting Dreams at Dawn" has finally addressed this and introduced a playable Sirin battlesuit from the Captainverse continuity.

The new S-rank battlesuit for Sirin is called Miracle Magical Girl (styled as Miracle ☆ Magical Girl) and is a fire-type Mecha DPS that specializes in triggering the ignition mechanism. Due to its focus on ignition, Miracle Magical Girl is a valuable unit for most players, as other units that provide this functionality have fallen out of the meta. The value of Miracle Magical Girl for players is further enhanced by the fact that she is available in the War Treasury Shop, which means players can obtain her for free with enough effort.

It is important to note that her Stigmata can be crafted, and according to information from the beta of the Chinese client of Honkai Impact 3rd, her weapon will be available in the Battle Pass starting from version 7.0. With all this information in mind, Miracle Magical Girl is essentially a free character if players are patient and put in the required effort. However, this guide will also cover alternative weapons and Stigmata to cover all possibilities and situations.

Understanding Miracle Magical Girl's Kit

The Miracle Magical Girl battlesuit appears to be based on Sirin's previous ELF unit, as both deal fire damage and engage in close combat. Most of Miracle Magical Girl Sirin's attacks in some way inflict ignition damage and generate stacks for her, further amplifying the ignition damage. Sirin's normal attack rotation also fills a bar above her health called Star Faith. When the Star Faith bar is full, players should hold down the ATK button to consume the bar in Honkai Impact 3rd's mechanic known as "Charging" and release the charge once the bar is completely depleted. During this charging sequence, Sirin deals continuous fire damage, grouping enemies and applying ignition trauma to them. Therefore, the term "Charging" can be somewhat misleading. After releasing the now depleted bar, Sirin performs a final charged attack and also regains some SP.

By tapping the active ability of Miracle Magical Girl Sirin's weapon, enemies are marked, and tapping again detonates the mark, inflicting ignition trauma. However, it should be noted that the marking on enemies is automatically applied by following Sirin's normal attack rotation. Therefore, players are recommended to let the marks occur naturally and detonate them only after depleting the Star Faith bar. Fortunately, Honkai Impact 3rd simplifies this rotation process by highlighting the weapon's activation button when it should ideally be pressed. Regardless of how the weapon's active ability is used, it results in the enemy being affected by ignition trauma.

The rest of Miracle Magical Girl's equipment includes her ultimate evasive move, her QTE ability, and her ultimate skill. Both her ultimate evasive move and ultimate skill trigger a time distortion, with the ultimate skill additionally dealing fire damage per active stack while resetting her stacks. To utilize Sirin's QTE when she is outside of combat, it can be triggered by a slow-motion effect or ignition caused by another character in combat. When activated, it inflicts ignition trauma and deals additional ignition damage to enemies. Sirin's QTE also has the bonus effect of restoring a portion of her own SP. Generally, it is best to use Miracle Magical Girl's ultimate skill when it becomes available after her rotation, in order to have as many stacks as possible and further amplify the damage dealt.

Are Miracle Magical Girl Duplicates Worth Pulling?

Now that players understand how Miracle Magical Girl works, it is important to quickly address duplicates and how they affect the character. As always, it is advised not to pull for duplicates until players have already obtained all character-specific equipment, and potential future banners as well as the current crystal balance of the players should be considered first.

As mentioned in our previous Herrscher of Rebirth guide, remember to invest responsibly when spending real money in Honkai Impact 3rd or any other gacha games. Regarding duplicates, ranks S1, S3, SS, SS1, SS2, and SS3 increase the level caps for existing Miracle Magical Girl abilities. The greatest benefits for Sirin come from ranks S2 and SSS, which each offer new abilities as shown in the table below.

Miracle Magical Girl Weapon Guide

Like most characters in Honkai Impact 3rd, Miracle Magical Girl requires her character-specific weapon to fully unleash her potential. HI3rd simply doesn't offer many alternatives when it comes to equipping a character with a weapon, and since the chakram is a newer weapon class in the game, this is especially true for Sirin. Unfortunately, obtaining the weapon for players is by far the most challenging part of her kit that can be obtained without spending crystals in the gacha.

The character-specific weapon that players are recommended to pull for is called the "Dreamblade," which provides Sirin with additional damage bonuses, additional instances of damage throughout her entire kit, additional stacks, and an increase in damage and SP regeneration for her ultimate ability. However, more importantly, players will want to upgrade the Dreamblade to its PRI-ARM variant called the "Dreamblade: Polaris." The PRI-ARM variant of the weapon increases the scaling of the previously mentioned effects across the board and adds another passive ability that increases the damage inflicted on ignited enemies.

Alternative Weapons for Miracle Magical Girl

If players fail to obtain Sirin's character-specific weapon, unfortunately, there won't be many alternatives. The only real alternative will be "Purana Phantasma: Nighteye," the PRI-ARM weapon for the ice support character Reverist Calico (Pardofelis). Unfortunately, this weapon is also exclusive to the gacha, so it is unlikely that players will get it unless they already have it available.

That being said, if players already have it, it will be a solid alternative as a weapon until they are able to obtain Sirin's character-specific weapon. Purana Phantasma: Nighteye will provide Sirin with additional damage and team damage.

Why Not Rudder in Dream Λ-I?

When considering alternative weapons for Miracle Magical Girl, most players would naturally assume that the only other fire-oriented chakram is the best option. This weapon, Rudder in Dream Λ-I, is a PRI-ARM used by the fire-specialized support character Chrono Navi. In fact, this weapon is an acceptable option if it's the only one available, but Chrono Navi is expected to be on the same team as Sirin and will benefit much more from her character-specific weapon than Sirin herself.

Furthermore, while Rudder in Dream Λ-I is associated with additional damage, overall it is a weapon-oriented support, and it would be more advantageous for someone else on the team to use it again.

Miracle Magical Girl Stigmata Guide

As previously mentioned throughout the guide, Sirin's signature stigmata set ("Little Joys") is fully craftable for free if players are willing to put in the time to grind. Players can learn about the specific stigmata that make up the Little Joys set as well as the set bonuses in the table below.

When it comes to alternative Stigmata sets for Miracle Magical Girl, players mainly have two options: Leeuwenhoek and Aslaug. Aslaug can be obtained through the gacha and is the character-specific set for the fire-specialized support Midnight Absinthe. On the other hand, Leeuwenhoek is the first craftable set that players will acquire through grinding, as it needs to be later converted into Sirin's character-specific set.

Fortunately, Leeuwenhoek is a good alternative for players who are currently working on upgrades, and they can keep it in the meantime. When looking at the recommended sets in the game, HI3rd suggests Wang Zhaojun for beginner builds and Fu Hua: Musician for budget builds. As usual, these two sets are not particularly good, and if players have to use them because they are easy to obtain, the goal should be to upgrade to one of the aforementioned sets as soon as possible.

Honkai Impact 3rd is now available on mobile devices and PCs.
