Summary
- Light Cones in Honkai: Star Rail boost stats like ATK & DEF with unique abilities that can change battle outcomes.
- Version 2.1 introduces new Light Cones including Concert for Two & Shared Feeling that enhance character abilities.
- Inherently Unjust Destiny is a powerful five-star Light Cone that increases DEF by 40%, catering to Aventurine characters.
Honkai: Star Rail has revealed new Light Cones that will be available in the second portion of version 2.1. Honkai: Star Rail allows players to spend their hard-earned Special Rail Passes on time-limited banners to unlock Light Cones, which they can use to boost characters' stats. In every update, the space RPG brings new weapons with their own rarity and path alignment.
Light Cones are a core part of any build, with their stats increasing the wearer's damage output and survivability. These stats scale based on rarity, meaning five-star weapons offer more ATK, DEF, and HP than four-star weapons. Each Light Cone has an ability that could change the tides in the wearer's favor. For example, Baptism of the Pure Thought increases CRIT damage by a percentage, while Incessant Rain boosts the Effect Hit Rate. One thing to note is that the passive ability is unlocked if the character and their Light Cone hail from the same path.
Honkai: Star Rail's version 2.1 will introduce four new Light Cones, each with its own rarity and path alignment. These weapons include Concert for Two, Shared Feeling, Make the World Clamor and Inherently Unjust Destiny. As revealed by the HoYo team, Concert for Two increases the user's DEF by 16%, while the Abundance-based Shared Feeling boosts Outgoing Healing by 10% and regenerates energy for all allies. Inherently Unjust Destiny, on the other hand, is the signature Light Cone for Honkai: Star Rail's Aventurine. It has a five-star rarity and increases the wearer's DEF by 40%.
Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.1 Light Cones
- Make the World Clamor (four-star Erudition)
- Concert for Two (four-star Preservation)
- Shared Feeling (four-star Abundance)
- Inherently Unjust Destiny (five-star Preservation)
Among version 2.1 Light Cones is Make the World Clamor, which is seemingly a viable choice for Honkai: Star Rail's Erudition characters. It regenerates energy upon entering battle and increases the wearer's ultimate damage by 32%.
Honkai: Star Rail is heading toward the second portion of version 2.1, in which Aventurine will officially be introduced as a five-star Preservation character. Like new characters in the first portion of 2.1, Aventurine will be locked behind an event warp that requires Special Rail Passes. Thankfully for players, the Festive Gifts login event now gives them 20 Special Rail Passes in celebration of the first anniversary.
In the second phase of Honkai: Star Rail 2.1, players will gain access to an assortment of new content. They will be able to pull Aventurine and several four-star rerun banners to expand their team. Moreover, Honkai: Star Rail players will celebrate the game's anniversary and receive bountiful rewards. As revealed by the HoYo team, free Stellar Jades and cosmetic rewards will be given away in the second phase of 2.1.
