Some exciting news has just dropped about Honkai Star Rail’s Version 3.0 update. According to recent revealed during Livestream, the update will introduce seven new Light Cones, bringing fresh ways to enhance your characters. Let’s dive into what these Honkai Star Rail 3.0 Light Cones are, how they work, and why they matter.
What Are Light Cones?
Light Cones are special equipment in Honkai Star Rail that boost your character’s stats and enhance their abilities. Each Light Cone is tied to a specific path, and equipping the right one can make a massive difference in battles. Think of them as powerful tools that make your characters even cooler.
The Seven New Honkai Star Rail 3.0 Light Cones
HSR 3.0 5-star Light Cones
Time Woven Into Gold (5-star, Remembrance)
This one is Aglaea’s Signature Light Cone and has the following abilities:
- Increases your speed and critical damage.
- Stacks “Brocade” buffs every time you or your memosprite attack, which further boosts damage.
Here is the leaked description: “Increases the wearer’s base SPD by 12. After the wearer and the wearer’s memosprite attacks, they receive 1 stack of “Brocade.” Each stack of “Brocade” increases CRIT DMG by 15%, stacking up to 3 time(s). When reaching the maximum stacks, each “Brocade” stack will additionally increase DMG dealt by Basic ATK by 15%.”
Into the Unreachable Veil (5-star, Erudition)
This is The Herta’s Signature Light Cone and is a strong option for heavy hitters:
- Raises your critical rate.
- Amplifies Skill and Ultimate damage after using your Ultimate.
- Refunds a Skill Point if your Ultimate consumes a lot of Energy.
Here is the link description: “Increases the wearer’s CRIT Rate by 12%. When the wearer uses their Ultimate, increases DMG dealt by the wearer’s Skill and Ultimate by 48%, lasting for 3turn(s). After the wearer uses their Ultimate, if this Ultimate consumes 140 or more Energy, recovers 1 Skill Point. This effect can trigger a maximum of 1 time every 2 turn(s).”
HSR 3.0 4-star Light Cones
Sweat Now, Cry Less (4-star, Remembrance)
A solid choice for damage enthusiasts:
- Increases your critical damage.
- Buffs your entire team’s damage for a short period when your memosprite provides support.
Geniuses’ Greetings (4-star, Remembrance)
Ideal for boosting offensive capabilities:
- Raises your attack power.
- Enhances both your attack and your memosprite’s strength after using your Ultimate ability.
Victory In a Blink (4-star, Remembrance)
Great for critical hit lovers:
- Improves your critical rate.
- Amplifies damage output for both you and your memosprite when it’s active.
HSR 3.0 3-star Light Cones
Shadowburn (3-star, Remembrance)
This Light Cone focuses on regenerating resources and grants 1 Skill Point and restores Energy when you summon your memosprite.
Reminiscence (3-star, Remembrance)
Perfect for sustained power boosts as it adds a “Commemoration” stack to you and your memosprite every time it takes a turn, amplifying your strength.
When Can We Expect These Light Cones?
These Light Cones will debut in the HSR 3.0 update, so start saving up your Stellar Jades and plan your builds accordingly.
The new Light Cones aren’t just powerful—they’re versatile. For players who love using characters that synergize with memosprites, like Aglaea, these Light Cones bring an entirely new layer of strategy. Whether you’re aiming for faster combat, stronger critical hits, or better team synergy, there’s something in this lineup for everyone.
The 3-star Light Cones, Shadowburn and Reminiscence, might seem simple, but they are excellent for resource management, making them great for beginners or budget builds. On the other hand, the 5-star Light Cones aka signature light cones of Aglaea and The Herta, Time Woven Into Gold and Into the Unreachable Veil, offer unparalleled boosts for advanced players aiming to dominate challenging battles.
By the looks of it, the upcoming Light Cones in Version 3.0 seems like a game-changer for Honkai Star Rail. With options that cater to different playstyles and team compositions, this update promises to bring even more depth and excitement to the game.
