Augment Core

Augment Cores are enhanced versions of battlesuits that appear throughout the Honkai Impact 3rd story. Like Awakening battlesuits, they offer unique new attacks and skills, but also retain some similarities to their origin battlesuits.

• To clarify, augment core costumes are not necessarily the battlesuit themselves, but often share the same name.

Ranking Augment Core

An Augment Core battle suit has a different set of skills the original suit. The new skills have their own levels dependent only on the ranks of the Augment Core and are not affected by replaced skills on the original suit.

An Augment Core has 6 ranks. The first rank unlocks the suit. However, most of the important skills are not available with the first rank. Subsequent ranks unlock additional skills. Below are the cores required for unlocking each rank.
