The game initially follows Valkyrie-in-training Kiana Kaslana (CN: Dian Tao; JP: [[Rie Kugimiya]]) as she battles alongside classmates Mei Raiden (CN: Jiang Jingju; JP: [[Miyuki Sawashiro]]) and Bronya Zaychik (CN: Hanser; JP: [[Kana Asumi]]) to stop the hostile flying battleship ''Selene'' attacking the city of Nagazora. They return to their education at the [[Extranormal Institute]] St. Freya Academy under Shicksal's Far East branch afterwards, but secrets about themselves, those around them and the world soon come to light, and they quickly find themselves very far from home.

The player takes the role of the Captain of the flying battleship ''Hyperion'', managing a stable of Valkyries, whose ranks are grown by pulling on [[Gacha Game|Gacha]] banners, equipping them with weapons and the [[Power Tattoo]]s called "Stigmata", and deploying them. Gameplay primarily involves teams of up to three Valkyries engaging in [[Hack and Slash]] in short, linear missions, where one character is on the field usually but can be tagged out at will. A semi-[[Wide Open Sandbox]] mode called "Open World" and a variety of minigames in other genres also exist; the latter are used mainly for gathering resources.

* [[Sorting Algorithm of Evil]]: The Honkai may seek the destruction of humanity but it has a twisted sense of fair play. It clearly has room to escalate, as seen from how more strong Honkai beasts appeared after the Previous Era survivors tried introducing their technology to the Current Era, but reduced the potency of the attacks when the survivors stopped doing so instead of continuing to attack at full force.

* [[Tomato in the Mirror]]: {{spoiler|"Kiana Kaslana" is not the original Kiana, but a clone designated K-423 that was made by Otto as a host for the Herrscher of the Void as part of his [[Gambit Roulette]] to resurrect Kallen. She takes this discovery badly. As for the original Kiana, last seen years ago in Otto's custody? She was right in our faces all along, after having had her memories altered and a new name given - '''Bianka Ataegina'''.}}
