Summary
- A leak suggests a new Light Cone for upcoming five-star character Rappa in Version 2.6, enhancing action and energy restoration in battle.
- Some players raised concerns over certain Light Cones catering to specific characters, but the new Cone could benefit users like Himeko as well.
- Light Cones in Honkai: Star Rail are crucial in boosting character power and can differ in rarity, with five-star Cones being the strongest.
A Honkai: Star Rail leak has revealed more details about a new Light Cone that is expected to arrive in one of the upcoming updates. Light Cones are considered weapons in Honkai: Star Rail and are a core part of every character's build, as they can significantly impact their overall power on the field.
Similar to weapons in Genshin Impact, Light Cones in Honkai: Star Rail can have different levels of rarity, with five-star Light Cones usually being the most powerful. HoYoverse consistently adds new Light Cones alongside its new five-star characters, and they typically fit the characters' playstyles perfectly.
A credible Honkai: Star Rail leaker named Seele has revealed more details about a new Light Cone that will apparently arrive in update 2.6. The new item will serve as the signature Light Cone for the upcoming five-star character Rappa, who is rumored to arrive in Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.6. According to the leak, Rappa's Light Cone will revolve around the Break Effect. It will restore 20 energy when a character enters battle. Another of its effects will make the character's Basic Attacks advance the weapon holder's action forward once a certain number of Breaks are reached.
Honkai: Star Rail Leak Reveals New Rappa Light Cone
Many fans in the comment section have complained about HoYoverse's recent trend of introducing new Light Cones that only fit the playstyle of one specific character. However, some players have added that the new Light Cone could be a decent choice for Honkai: Star Rail's five-star Erudition character Himeko. A couple of fans have also noted that this Light Cone could become a must-have for Rappa users due to how it affects her turn cycling.
Previous Honkai: Star Rail leaks revealed that Rappa will be a new five-star Imaginary user who follows the Erudition path. Erudition characters in Honkai: Star Rail usually excel at fighting against groups of enemies due to their high AoE damage potential. Rappa's kit leaks have revealed that her Skill will allow her to deal Imaginary damage to multiple enemies.
She will be able to reduce the enemy's toughness regardless of their weakness type. Similar to Honkai: Star Rail's Xueyi, Rappa's kit will allow her to put enemies in a Weakness Broken state. Her Technique effect will allow Honkai: Star Rail's new five-star character to block all incoming attacks after entering a combat state. These leaks should still be viewed with caution, as HoYoverse is likely to make further adjustments before Version 2.6, which is expected to be released around mid-October.
