What the Heck are Light Cones in Honkai: Star Rail?
Is there no way that I can get away from the Weapon Banner Curse that continues to haunt me?! As if the Genshin Weapon Banner weren’t already a joke all on its own, Hoyoverse dares to come up with another system called Light Cones. What are these?
Light Cones are the equivalent of the infamous Genshin Impact’s Five-Star Weapon banner, known for its branching paths to receive one of two Five-Star Weapons. But of course, if you had any prior experience with this beforehand, you can get any type of Five-Star weapon from that banner. So instead of getting one of the two that are shown on the banner, you may just get stuck with too many Amos’ Bows when you don’t even have or want a Ganyu! But, when you are gifted with two Five-Star weapons that are not the path that you set out on (your Signature Weapon of choice) then you are guaranteed that weapon when you get your next Five-Star. Yeah, you have to lose twice to get your weapon for sure. And the pity for the weapon banner? 80. Only 10 less than the exclusive character banners.
As you’ll notice in Honkai: Star Rail, characters will have their own exclusive weapons that are unique to them and cannot be changed or altered. So the way that Hoyoverse has decided to continue collecting different types of equipables that will boost the stats of your character. They are limited to being equipped to their matching Path typings, and can be leveled and ascended just the same as you would a weapon in Genshin Impact.
They’ll each have their own unique Stat boosts and Passives that will provide an exceptional boost to your character. Said to contain the memories of a specific person, I don’t think it’ll be limited to equipping solely onto that person. Say you got Seele’s Five-Star Light Cone, if you don’t have Seele, you may still be able to equip this Light Cone with another Hunt PathFinder.
Since some Light Cones can only be retrieved during Limited-Run Character Banners, never miss out on who is currently on the banner so you know when to take advantage of pulling for a special Light Cone!
