Summary
AHonkai: Star Railleak has revealed a whole new set of Light Cones that will potentially be available to claim in version 2.0.Light Cones inHonkai: Star Railfunction as weapons, providing units with stat bonuses and a passive ability that can be useful in different circumstances. These items are tied to a specific path and can be upgraded by consuming materials called Aethers. One thing to note is that the wearer must belong to the same path as the Light Cone to get its ability; for example, only Abundance-type units can unlock passives on Cornucopia or Fine Fruit.
In everyHonkai: Star Railupdate,new Light Cones become available through a banner, and players have an increased chance to pull them for a limited time. However, this is not the only way to get Lightcones, as they are dropped upon completing Trailblaze missions and boss skirmishes in Echoes of War. When players unlock a new weapon, they will eventually want to ascend it to receive better stats. The ascension process works similarly to that ofGenshin Impact, requiring Trailblazers to consume the proper materials (Aethers) that can be obtained from Calyxes.
The latestHonkai: Star Railleak from Team Chikawahas revealed seven Light Cones that will potentially be available in version 2.0 next month. They have the same four-star rarity but give the wearer unique stat bonuses; for instance, the Abundance-type Light Cone increases the break effect, while the Hunt version enhances ATK reasonably. According to theHonkai Star: Railleak, the weapon that belongs to the Preservation path increases effect resistance by 12%, while the Nihility-type gives characters a stack of tricks when they inflict a debuff on enemies.

Trailblazers who wield the Harmony-based Light Cone will generate a Childness stack after performing a skill or ultimate. As the description says, the four-star Destruction weapon heals characters and provides a DMG bonus when they lose a certain amount of health. Lastly, there is an Erudition-type Light Cone, which increases the wielder’s ATK by 16%.
One thing to note is that these Light Cones will reportedly be added toHonkai: Star Rail’s Manifest Store; therefore, Trailblazers will have to spend their hard-earned Lucent Afterglows to unlock them. For those unaware, Lucent Afterglows are credits that can be obtained by completing various stages of the Forgotten Hall, a permanent mode that sets players against formidable enemies. It’s unlocked upon finishing the fleeting lights quest.
Besides the new Light Cones, theupcomingHonkai: Star Railupdate will allegedly offer several characters, such as Acheron and Sparkle, that have unique abilities. They will likely be featured on the same limited-time banner with reruns. As per the schedule,Honkai: Star Railversion 2.0 will arrive on February 7.
