Summary
Honkai: Star Railhas revealed new Light Cones that will be available in the second portion of version 2.1.Honkai: Star Railallows players to spend their hard-earned Special Rail Passes on time-limited banners to unlock Light Cones, which they can use to boost characters' stats. In every update, the space RPG brings new weapons with their own rarity and path alignment.
Light Cones are a core part of any build, with their stats increasing the wearer’s damage output and survivability. These stats scale based on rarity, meaning five-star weapons offer more ATK, DEF, and HP than four-star weapons. Each Light Cone has an ability that could change the tides in the wearer’s favor. For example, Baptism of the Pure Thought increases CRIT damage by a percentage, while Incessant Rain boosts the Effect Hit Rate. One thing to note is that the passive ability is unlocked if the character and their Light Cone hail from the same path.
Honkai: Star Rail’s version 2.1 will introduce four new Light Cones, each with its own rarity and path alignment. These weapons include Concert for Two, Shared Feeling, Make the World Clamor and Inherently Unjust Destiny. As revealed by the HoYo team, Concert for Two increases the user’s DEF by 16%, while the Abundance-based Shared Feeling boosts Outgoing Healing by 10% and regenerates energy for all allies. Inherently Unjust Destiny, on the other hand, is the signature Light Cone forHonkai: Star Rail’s Aventurine. It has a five-star rarity and increases the wearer’s DEF by 40%.
