Honkai Impact 3rd Crystals Top-Up

What are Crystals in Honkai Impact 3rd

Crystals are the premium currency in Honkai Impact 3rd. You buy them with real money and spend them on the activities that drive a Valkyrie collection:

• Supply pulls — gacha banners, called Supply in HI3: Battlesuit Supply (Valkyrie suits), Weapon Supply, Stigmata Supply, and Outfit Supply. A single pull costs 280 Crystals.
• Outfits and skins — alternate looks for your Valkyries, available in event shops and the in-game store
• Stamina refreshes — restore the energy you spend on mission runs and material farming
• Event bundles — limited-time packs with resources, coins, and rare items

Crystals are what you need for most of the collecting in HI3, from new battlesuits to the gear that backs them up.

Crystals and Asterite

You'll also come across Asterite in the game. Asterite is the free counterpart to Crystals: you earn it through gameplay — story missions, events, and daily activities — and you spend it on the same Supply pulls. The distinction is simple: Crystals are purchased, Asterite is earned, and both feed the same gacha. Topping up Crystals is just the fastest way to add pulls when you don't want to grind for Asterite.

Honkai Impact 3rd does not use a second premium currency. Everything you top up here is Crystals.

Why the HoYoverse Top-Up Center is unavailable from Russia

Since 2022, HoYoverse has stopped accepting Russian cards and ruble payments in its official Top-Up Center. This affected every studio title at once: Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, Zenless Zone Zero, and Honkai Impact 3rd.

Opening the HoYoverse Top-Up Center from Russia returns an error or simply shows no usable payment methods. MIR cards and ruble transfers aren't accepted there.

Ashop solves this: we accept MIR, SBP, and cryptocurrency — payment methods that work from Russia.

Gray marketplaces and account risk

After 2022, plenty of platforms appeared offering "cheaper Crystals" through intermediaries, region switching, or other bypass tricks. HoYoverse classifies methods like these as rule violations, and using unapproved top-up channels can put your account at risk of a ban without compensation — a real concern if you've spent years building a Valkyrie roster.

Ashop's UID-based top-up follows standard supplier protocols. Crystals are delivered straight to your account by identifier, with no gray mechanics involved.

How to top up Crystals by UID

UID-based top-up never asks for your password and never gives us access to your account. All we need is your user ID.

Step 1: Find your UID in-game

Launch Honkai Impact 3rd. The top-left corner shows a small icon with your rank number. Tap it to open your profile window, where your User ID is displayed — that's the UID you use for orders.

Copy the number rather than typing it, since manual entry invites typos.

Step 2: Pick a Crystal pack in Ashop's catalog

The catalog lists Crystal packs in several sizes, each with three platform options: Google, HoYoverse→Email, and Facebook. Choose the one that matches how you log in (details below).

Step 3: Enter your UID and pay

Input the UID exactly as it appears in-game. Select your payment method: MIR, SBP, or crypto. Once you confirm, your order starts processing.

Step 4: Check your in-game account

Your Crystals will arrive in your account. No login takes place — we never request your credentials.

Platform options: Google, HoYoverse, or Facebook

The same packs are listed under three platform-linked variants:

• HoYoverse→Email — accounts registered with an email address, common for players who signed up through HoYoverse or HoYoLAB.
• Google — accounts linked to Google Play, typical for Android players using "Sign in with Google."
• Facebook — Facebook-linked accounts.

Check your HI3 account settings under Account → Linked Account to confirm which platform your account uses.

Picking the wrong variant prevents delivery — a Google-linked account won't receive a HoYoverse→Email order.

Payment methods on Ashop

Three options for players in and outside Russia:

MIR cards — Russian bank cards, the primary method for most buyers in Russia. No extra restrictions.

SBP (Fast Payment System) — QR and link payments through your banking app. Works with most Russian banks and needs no card, just the app.

Cryptocurrency (USDT) — available worldwide. USDT sidesteps regional restrictions, which makes it ideal for players outside Russia or anyone who already uses crypto.

Honkai Impact 3rd in the HoYoverse lineup

Released in 2016, Honkai Impact 3rd was HoYoverse's first major hit, predating Genshin Impact (2020) and Honkai: Star Rail (2023). Its combat sets it apart from the studio's later open-world RPGs: real-time hack-and-slash action with combo systems, time-slowing dodges, and a three-Valkyrie squad you switch between on the fly.

That puts it closer to character-action games like Bayonetta or Devil May Cry than to open-world titles, and it's exactly why a lot of players pick it up.

In 2024, Honkai Impact 3rd Part 2 arrived with an updated engine and open-world areas, and the game continues to receive regular content updates. Across the HoYoverse catalog, the top-up process is the same: UID-based, no password, with MIR and SBP payments.

The one thing to keep in mind for HI3 is the currency. There's a single premium currency, Crystals, and everything you order on Ashop is Crystals — no second currency to worry about.

FAQ

How do I find my UID in Honkai Impact 3rd?

Launch the game and tap the rank icon (the small badge with your level) in the top-left corner. Your User ID appears in the profile window. Copy it before ordering.

What can I spend Crystals on?

Crystals cover Supply pulls (gacha for Valkyrie battlesuits, weapons, and stigmata), outfits and skins, stamina refreshes, and event bundles. They're the main currency for building and equipping your roster.

Is UID top-up safe — can my account be hacked?

UID top-up doesn't require your password and doesn't grant any account access. Crystals are delivered directly by the supplier, the same way a Google Play purchase reaches your account. We never ask for login details.

Why can't I buy through HoYoverse's official site from Russia?

The HoYoverse Top-Up Center has rejected MIR cards and ruble payments since 2022. Ashop accepts MIR, SBP, and USDT — methods that work from Russia.

How do I choose the right platform option: Google, HoYoverse, or Facebook?

Pick the one that matches how you log in. Google login → Google. Email account on HoYoverse → HoYoverse→Email. Facebook → Facebook. Confirm it in-game under Account → Linked Account.

What is Asterite and can I buy it?

Asterite is the free version of Crystals. You earn it through gameplay and spend it on the same Supply pulls, but it isn't purchasable. Ashop tops up Crystals, which work the same way for pulls.

How many Crystals do I need for one Supply pull?

One Supply pull costs 280 Crystals. A 330-Crystal pack covers a single pull with a little to spare, while larger packs let you do multiple pulls in one go. Guaranteed featured Valkyries take more, since pity systems kick in after a set number of pulls.

Can I top up another player's account?

Yes. UID top-up sends Crystals to any account as long as you have its UID. That makes it easy to gift: grab a friend's UID, place the order on Ashop, and the Crystals land on their account.

What if my Crystals don't arrive?

Double-check the UID and the platform variant you selected. If both are correct, contact Ashop support on Telegram and we'll look into your order.
