Dazzling Light Cones Await - Unveiling Honkai: Star Rail Version 14's sensational second half!

Highlights

The Version 1.4 update of Honkai: Star Rail brings exciting additions with the introduction of new Light Cones. Among them is Topaz's distinctive Light Cone, which players can anticipate in the gacha banner during the latter part of the update.

Light Cones in Honkai: Star Rail play a crucial role as mechanics within the game, enhancing gameplay with additional statistics and distinct effects tailored to various playstyles. The Light Cone belonging to Topaz, known as "Worrisome, Blissful," amplifies Critical Rate and enhances Follow-up Attack damage specifically for Hunt characters.

Furthermore, the Light Cone banner introduces the return of three four-star Light Cones, each offering their own unique buffs. For instance, "The Moles Welcome You" bestows a stacking ATK buff, "Resolution Shines as Pearls of Sweat" diminishes the DEF of enemies, and "Only Silence Remains" bolsters ATK while also providing a Crit Rate buff when confronted with two or fewer adversaries.

Honkai: Star Rail has unveiled the Light Cones that will be featured on the gacha banner in the second half of Version 1.4. This update introduces Topaz's signature Light Cone, along with other exciting content such as the "Aetherium Wars" event inspired by Pokemon. Additionally, new characters like Jingliu and Topaz, as well as Guinaifen, a four-star unit, have been added to the RPG's roster. In the upcoming second half of the update, Topaz's launch will be accompanied by several prominent Light Cones.

Light Cones play a vital role in Honkai: Star Rail, functioning similarly to Genshin Impact's Weapons. These Cones not only enhance the characters' stats, but also provide unique effects tailored to different playstyles. Typically, each new five-star character is accompanied by their own exclusive Light Cone, designed to optimize their gameplay. Topaz's signature Light Cone, expected to be released soon, will feature three previous four-star Light Cones alongside it.

Honkai: Star Rail's latest unveiling, the "Light Cone Preview," introduces Topaz's highly anticipated Light Cone called "Worrisome, Blissful," alongside the reappearance of the four-star Light Cones. The recently announced five-star Light Cone, named "One at a Time," bestows an exclusive effect that enhances the Critical Rate and Follow-up Attack damage for Hunt characters who equip it. Moreover, these Follow-up attacks apply a distinct debuff called "Tame" to targets, thereby amplifying the Crit damage inflicted on them. The forthcoming launch of Topaz and her distinctive Light Cone is expected to occur later this week as part of Version 1.4's second half.
