Honkai: Star Rail 2.6 Light Cones are creating quite a buzz in the community and thanks to the recent Livestream, we also got a sneak peek at them.
Light Cones are special gear that can make your characters stronger, and this update will bring some really cool ones, including Rappa’s signature Light Cone and a few 4-star Light Cones. Let’s take a look at what they do.
HSR 2.6 Light Cone: Rappa’s Signature Light Cone
First, we have Rappa’s signature Light Cone called “Ninjutsu Inscription: Dazzling Evilbreaker.” It’s a 5-star Light Cone, which means it’s super powerful. When you equip it, it gives your character a 60% boost to their Break Effect, helping you do more damage when breaking an enemy’s defense. It also regenerates 30 Energy at the start of a fight, keeping your character ready for action.
One of the coolest things about this Light Cone is a special buff called “Ration.” After using two Basic Attacks, it lets the character attack 50% faster, giving them a big advantage in battle. With all these great features, this Light Cone is perfect for characters who need that extra boost to shine in fights.
HSR 2.6 Light Cones: 4-star
Besides Rappa’s gear, two new 4-star Light Cones are coming in the HSR 2.6 update. Let’s take a quick look at what they do:
1. Dream’s Montage
This Light Cone is for characters on the Path of Abundance. When they use it, they get an 8% speed boost. Also, if they attack enemies with a Weakness Break, they’ll regenerate Energy twice per turn, which can really help in battles.
2. Ninja Record: Sound Hunt
This Light Cone is made for characters on the Path of Destruction. It gives the character 12% more HP, making them harder to take down in fights. Plus, if they get healed or take damage, their critical damage goes up by 18% for two turns, making it a great pick for those who like dealing heavy damage.
How to Get the Light Cones in the HSR 2.6 Update?
If you’re wondering how to grab these new Light Cones, it’s pretty easy. Rappa’s 5-star Light Cone will be available through the game’s banner system. You’ll need to use your Star Rail Special Passes to roll for it. The 4-star Dream’s Montage will also be in the gacha banners, while Ninja Record: Sound Hunt can be earned by participating in the main event of the 2.6 patch.
Old Light Cones in the HSR 2.6 Update
One of the most exciting parts of the 2.6 update is that HoYoverse is bringing back event-exclusive Light Cones that players missed before. In the past, if you didn’t get a Light Cone during an event, you couldn’t get it later. But now, with this update, you’ll be able to buy these missed Light Cones from Herta’s Shop using the free currency you earn by playing the game.
Here are some of the old Light Cones returning to Herta’s Shop:
- Before the Tutorial Mission Starts (perfect for characters on The Nihility Path)
- Hey, Over Here (a great pick for The Abundance Path)
- For Tomorrow’s Journey (for characters on The Harmony Path)
This is great news for players who felt like they missed out on the best gear just because they weren’t playing during certain events. Now, everyone can have a chance to collect these powerful Light Cones without worrying about missing out.
In short, Honkai: Star Rail version 2.6 is introducing awesome new Light Cones, especially Rappa’s signature gear. Plus, bringing back old event-exclusive Light Cones in Herta’s Shop is a huge win for players looking to power up their characters.
