Jade in Honkai: Star Rail is known for her dangerous contracts and risky exchanges, making it tricky to strike a deal with her. This is especially true when one considers that Jade won't make a deal if it's not beneficial for her, and has immense patience to regain profit from her investment. Therefore, it's no surprise that in battle, Jade makes a contract with an ally and relies on the said teammate to make the deal worth it. Jade's play style involves hitting multiple targets, and she gets stronger in long battles.

When it comes to Jade's best weapon in Honkai: Star Rail, players must consider ones that support her long-term investment and not temporary ones.

8 The Day The Cosmos Fell

HP	ATK	DEF
952	476	330
S5 Passive
Increases the wearer's ATK by 24%. When the wearer uses an attack and at least 2 attacked enemies have the corresponding Weakness, the wearer's CRIT DMG increases by 40%, lasting for 2 turns.

The Day The Cosmos Fell is a great Light Cone for Jade if players are playing against enemies with Quantum weakness. Since this weapon is F2P and obtainable via the shop, you can easily get it to Superimposition level 5 and get the maximum effect.

7 Night On The Milky Way

HP	ATK	DEF
1,164	582	396
S1 Passive
For every enemy on the field, increases the wearer's ATK by 9%, up to 5 stacks. When an enemy is inflicted with Weakness Break, the DMG dealt by the wearer increases by 30% for 1 turn.

Himeko's playstyle revolves around breaking the enemy's Toughness and follow-up attacks, but sadly, her signature Light Cone doesn't boost follow-up attack DMG. Instead, Night on the Milky Way is good for Jade if she's fighting in a content with a horde of enemies, like the Pure Fiction.

6 The Birth of the Self

HP	ATK	DEF
952	476	330
S1 Passive
Increases DMG dealt by the wearer's follow-up attacks by 24%. If the current HP of the target enemy is below 50% of Max HP, increases DMG dealt by follow-up attacks by an extra 24%.

Jade performs a follow-up attack when she gains enough stack from her Debt Collector ally. This makes The Birth of the Self an excellent Light Cone for Jade, as it boosts 24 to 96% follow-up attack DMG.

5 Today Is Another Peaceful Day

HP	ATK	DEF
846	529	330
S1 Passive
After entering battle, increases the wearer's DMG based on their Max Energy. DMG increases by 0.2% per point of Energy, up to 160 Energy.

Today is Another Peaceful Day is arguably one of the best 4-star Light Cones in Honkai: Star Rail. It gives a universal DMG bonus, scaling with the character's maximum Energy. Thanks to the buff that has no requirement, Jade can benefit from it for all her hits, be it follow-up ATK, Basic Attack, or Ultimate.

4 Eternal Calculus

HP	ATK	DEF
1058	529	396
S5 Passive
Increases the wearer's ATK by 12%. After using an attack, for each enemy target hit, additionally increases ATK by 8%. This effect can stack 5 times and lasts until the next attack. If there are 3 or more enemy targets hit, this unit's SPD increases by 16%, lasting for 1 turn.

Eternal Calculus is very Erudition-centric as the buff scales with how many enemies are hit. This Light Cone loses value in single-target content like the Memory of Chaos but works amazingly for Jade in Pure Fiction.

3 An Instant Before A Gaze

HP	ATK	DEF
1058	582	463
S1 Passive
Increases the wearer's CRIT DMG by 36%. When the wearer uses Ultimate, increases the wearer's Ultimate DMG based on their Max Energy. Each point of Energy increases the Ultimate DMG by 0.36%, up to 180 points of Energy.

An Instant Before a Gaze is meant for Ultimate bots like Argenti, but since Jade deals decent damage with her Ultimate, this Light Cone works for her too. Additionally, the 36% extra Crit DMG simply makes this weapon a great stat-stick for Lady Bonajade.

2 Before Dawn

HP	ATK	DEF
1164	582	396
S1 Passive
Increases the wearer's CRIT DMG by 32%. Increases the wearer's Skill and Ultimate DMG by 20%. After the wearer uses their Skill or Ultimate, they gain Somnus Corpus. Upon triggering a follow-up attack, Somnus Corpus will be consumed and the follow-up attack DMG increases by 48%.

Jing Yuan's signature weapon, Before Dawn, is an excellent weapon in itself as the passive boosts both Skill and Ultimate DMG. After using either Skill or Ultimate, Jade's next follow-up attack will deal much higher damage. Of course, the unconditional +32% Crit DMG is also beneficial for the IPC executive.

1 Yet Hope Is Priceless

jade using yet hope is priceless light cone in honkai star rail

HP	ATK	DEF
952	582	529
S1 Passive
Increases the wearer's CRIT Rate by 16%. While the wearer is in battle, for every 20% CRIT DMG that exceeds 120%, the DMG dealt by follow-up attack increases by 12%. This effect can stack up to 4 times. When the battle starts or after the wearer uses their Basic ATK, enables the DMG dealt by Ultimate or follow-up attack to ignore 20% of the target's DEF, lasting for 2 turns.

Yet Hope Is Priceless is the best Light Cone for Jade in Honkai: Star Rail. Its passive further supports her Talent and allows her hard-hitting attacks to ignore the target's DEF by a large 20%.
