History HonkaiImpact3rd / TropesMToR

** The "Elysian Realm" mode, introduced in version 5.0, which is the more developed version of the "Threshold Breach" event in previous versions, complete with a lore-heavy storyline dedicated to the "13 Flame-Chasers", enormously powerful warriors from the setting's distant past. In it, your character ascends multiple floors as they fight randomly generated enemies, although certain floors are designated as "boss floors". You can only deploy one character at a time[[note]]the character in question here is only from those that are listed inside the game mode; each game version will add extra characters to the list[[/note]] and up to two chosen {{Support Party Member}}s, and if your character dies in the stage, it's game over, somewhat akin to old arcade games. Whenever you clear a floor (except for the one right before the FinalBoss floor), you'll be given a choice of two special buffs, called "signets", taken randomly from a pool of possible buffs. By building your character with the signets, you'll be able to clear the increasingly difficult floors up to the end. There are four DifficultyLevels for each character (Safe, Normal, Dangerous, Real), with each difficulty giving you different amount of floors to fight and difficulty effects; clearing the easier difficulty will unlock the next one, and clearing the first three difficulties with each character will award you with some crystals as a one-time reward. Like the Matrix Explore mode, characters' self-healing effects are disabled[[note]]with the exception of characters who have to manage their health resource, i.e [[spoiler:Herrscher of Flamescion]] and Luna Kindred; healing that comes from other sources (such as weapon effects, Stigmata effects, and ELFs) can still work as well[[/note]], and there is a DungeonShop called "Phyllis' Shop" in which you can either buy or upgrade signets[[note]]up to 7 will be shown in the menu for each, taken randomly from a pool of signets[[/note]] using the "silver coins" you get from clearing floors, or change your equipped special item or support Valkyries, and/or replenish some health. The "Real" difficulty is an ArrangeMode where you can select difficulty effects that either buff your enemies or give negative effects to your character; there are weekly challenges where you have to clear the last floor of this difficulty level (not counting the BonusBoss, Elysia) with enough difficulty effects selected (i.e up to a certain value). In each run, you can choose to exit and save your current progress; when you enter again, you'll be given the option of either continuing your current run or to "finalize" it and get the rewards early (although they'll be fewer compared to the rewards you get if you beat the final floor). The higher the difficulty level, the more rewards you'll get when you "finalize" your run: special currency for purchasing some rare items in the shop, upgrade materials to permanently enhance your characters' stats and their Elysia signets' buff effects for this mode, "stone of choices" that unlock permanent perks for your characters in this mode and unlock more SupportPartyMember options for your use, and "remembrance stones" that are used to unlock stories about the Flame-Chasers.

* MsFanservice:Nearly every female characters is this.

* MorphWeapon: The Divine Keys. Due to the fact that they're made of Soulium, they can easily change form according to their users' needs. The Judgement of Shamash, for example, has no less than three different forms.

* NoticeThis: Items that you can pick up or interact with in Sakura Samsara or Schicksal HQ will have an icon floating over them which varies depending on how you interact with them. When you get close enough to them, a button will appear that allows the action to be taken.

* RecycledSoundtrack: The song "Lyin" that was previously used in ''Gun [=GirlZ=]'' during the cutscene where [[spoiler:God Kiana [[KillEmAll kills everyone]]]] is used in 9-17 when [[spoiler:Himeko must conquer her inner demons to wear the Vermillion Knight - Eclipse Battlesuit without allowing it to corrupt her]].

** Himeko gives you an ArmorPiercingSlap.

* OminousVisualGlitch: When [[spoiler:Elysia and Kevin's sims]] disappear in "Elysium Everlasting", the game's menu interface for the story arc gains persistent visual glitches like disjointed flickering shapes or slightly-tilted icons. If a [[spoiler:Flame-Chaser sim disappears, their portrait and description on the sub-menu are also replaced by shattered glass and garbled characters, respectively. On-screen "deaths" also depict the Flame-Chaser sim having blocky, pixelated distortions on their body before they disappear]]. After Chapter 30 reveals the [[spoiler::Herrscher of Corruption is behind all of the disappearances, the menu interface becomes purple and displays even more visual glitches]].

* MacrossMissileMassacre: The "missile robot" mooks' main purpose is simply to shoot lots and lots of missiles toward you. They do, however, have other attacks as well, such as dropping floating mines that can paralyze you, and a ShockwaveStomp to protect themselves at close range. Taken UpToEleven with the strongest of the missile robot you can acquire in Schicksal HQ Open World, whose Ultimate Skill is a nonstop missile barrage that only ends when its SP is depleted.

* ProductPlacement: The special Chinese New Year episode of ''Cooking with Valkyries'' has Himeko eating in a Lawson convenience store, and later, the girls drink Pepsi when they're having their feast.

* PaintingTheMedium: In the Elysian Realm, after [[spoiler:the Herscherr of Corruption's influence leads to the deaths of several of the sims]], the game reflects its influence by the Elysium Everlasting button and the elements of the entry screen having visual glitches, and the graphics for the various options becoming off-kilter.

** Your Valkyrie that is on the homescreen will have a thought bubble floating by her head that takes three colors and does different things when tapped/clicked. If it's blue, she will say one of an assortment of canned statements with a {{speech bubble|s}} providing the translation. If it's a purplish tone, she will do the same, but it's to scold you for playing too long and/or tell you to shut down and get some sleep. If it's white, she will say something but instead of dialogue, an interface appears where you can see her current Affection Point level and also perform some other actions such as swapping Valkyries or entering Portrait Mode.

* RunningGag: "[[BigOMG AMAGAD!]]" is uttered by several characters, but especially the Captain, during dialogue in the various events.
** Every instance of slapstick comedy in the ELF Academy anime will be accompanied by the warning "Dangerous maneuver, do not attempt" on top of the screen, in case it wasn’t obvious enough.

* RapunzelHair:
** Kiana and Bronya as [[spoiler:Herrschers of the Void and Reason]] respectively have their hair grow longer; the former's hair reaches her ankles, while the latter has it curled into big drills, but they still reach her lower back.
** Normally, Fu Hua's hair only reaches her back, but as Azure Empyrea, it reaches her hips, even when tied into a ponytail.
** Durandal's long blonde hair reaches her hips.
** When Mei [[spoiler:becomes the Herscherr of Thunder again]], part of the transformation includes her hair lengthening to where it would drag on the ground if it didn't float in the air behind her.
