Updated on November 4, 2023 by Elara Leclair: The addition of different Nihility characters and their corresponding light cones provides players with a broader selection of versatile equipment options. Although some of these new light cones are exclusive 5-star items, there are also some free-to-play alternatives like Solitary Healing from the Herta Store (although this one may not be entirely suitable for Welt) that allow players to optimize their builds for Welt and other characters without requiring a significant amount of resources.
8. Loop
Base ATK (LVL 80):
317
Base DEF (LVL 80):
264
Base HP (LVL 80):
846
Effect
Increases DMG dealt from its wearer to Slowed enemies by
24%/30%/36%/42%/48%
While Loop may only have a rarity of 3 stars in terms of rarity, its effect greatly enhances its value for Welt, particularly for players who do not have access to higher rarity alternatives. Welt's kit is designed to slow down enemies while inflicting significant damage, and Loop further amplifies his damage potential. Despite potentially having a lower ATK stat compared to 4 or 5-star options, the ease of maximizing Loop's superimposition in comparison to other gacha choices can compensate for this drawback, making it an excellent Free-to-Play (F2P) selection, even though it is still obtained through gacha.
7. We Will Meet Again
Base ATK (LVL 80):
539
Base DEF (LVL 80):
330
Base HP (LVL 80):
846
Effect
After the wearer uses Basic ATK or Skill, the wearer deals
40%/50%/60%/70%/80%
ATK bonus as additional damage to a randomly targeted enemy when abilities are used.
We Will Meet Again is a 4-star light cone that can only be acquired by purchasing Nameless Glory with real money. Unlike other options that depend on gacha, it is not suitable for free-to-play players. However, for those interested in Welt's sub-DPS potential, it can prove useful. Nevertheless, there are superior gacha choices for Welt and better alternatives for other paths in Nameless Glory. Therefore, this light cone should only be chosen if there are no other available options.
6. Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat
Base ATK (LVL 80):
476
Base DEF (LVL 80):
330
Base HP (LVL 80):
952
Effect
When the wearer hits an enemy and if the hit enemy is not already Ensnared, then there is a
60%/70%/80%/90%/100%
base chance to Ensnare the hit enemy. Ensnared enemies’ DEF decreases by
12%/13%/14%/15%/16%
for 1 turn(s).
"Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat" remains a top choice for players seeking to enhance Welt's support potential rather than focusing solely on his DPS. This exceptional light cone proves invaluable, particularly for those who have yet to optimize Welt's relics for maximum damage output. However, even players who have already done so can still derive significant benefits from this light cone. The imposed decrease in enemy DEF amplifies the overall damage dealt by the team, including Welt's own DPS. As Welt's abilities can effectively target foes, the Ensnared effect can be consistently applied, especially when players possess additional copies to stack this light cone. Nevertheless, this is not necessarily a requirement.
5. Good Night and Sleep Well
Base ATK (LVL 80):
476
Base DEF (LVL 80):
330
Base HP (LVL 80):
952
Effect
For every debuff the target enemy has, the DMG dealt by the wearer increases by
12%/15%/18%/21%/24%
Good Night and Sleep Well enhances Welt's DPS potential and can be a great alternative to Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat. The decision between these two options relies on the player's personal preference regarding utilizing Welt's abilities to the fullest. However, in challenging content like the Forgotten Hall where fast enemy defeat is crucial, Good Night and Sleep Well may hold higher value.
Overall, players who have constructed Welt to inflict substantial damage will reap greater advantages from the damage enhancement offered by this light cone, particularly when comparing it to the maximum level after overlaying both light cones. Additionally, players may explore the option of melding both light cones through the utilization of another character such as Sampo or Pela to amplify the overall damage output even more effectively.
4. Before the Tutorial Mission Starts
Base ATK (LVL 80):
476
Base DEF (LVL 80):
330
Base HP (LVL 80):
952
Effect
Increases the wearer's Effect Hit Rate by
20%/25%/30%/35%/40%
When the wearer attacks enemies that have reduced DEF, regenerates
4/5/6/7/8
Energy.
The "Before the Tutorial Mission Starts" light cone is a special item that players could use during the Starhunt's Game event. They had the chance to maximize its effectiveness for free. Although it is ideal for characters like Silver Wolf or Pela, who can lower enemies' DEF with their own abilities, Welt can also gain advantages from this light cone.
This is particularly true when combined with characters who have the ability to reduce the DEF of enemies in some manner. Moreover, like numerous other characters, Welt can gain from an augmented Effect Hit Rate. This not only aids in increasing the chances of slowing down enemies with his Skill but is also particularly advantageous when equipped with the Pan Galactic Commercial Enterprise planar ornament set to amplify his attack, and therefore, his DPS potential.
3. Patience Is All You Need
Base ATK (LVL 80):
582
Base DEF (LVL 80):
463
Base HP (LVL 80):
1058
Effect
Increases DMG dealt by the wearer by
24%/28%/32%/36%/40%
After every attack launched by wearer, their SPD increases by
4.8%/5.6%/6.4%/7.2%/8%
The wearer can stack Erode up to 3 times. When the wearer hits an enemy target without Erode, there is a guaranteed 100% chance to inflict Erode on that target. Enemies affected by Erode are also considered to be Shocked and will receive Lightning Damage over Time (DoT) at the beginning of each turn, starting at a magnitude of 60% and increasing by 10% for each stack of Erode.
Kafka's unique light cone, "Patience Is All You Need," offers an alternative for enhancing Welt's offensive capabilities and speed. While primarily useful for characters proficient in Damage over Time (DoT) effects, this artifact also benefits Welt. Due to his ability to strike multiple foes with his Skill and Ultimate, Welt can consistently apply the Erode effect to numerous enemies.
However, in team compositions where other characters heavily rely on their skills, players may find that constantly using Welt's skill might not be necessary to gain significant benefits from his presence on the team.
2. Incessant Rain
Base ATK (LVL 80):
582
Base DEF (LVL 80):
463
Base HP (LVL 80):
1058
Effect
Increases the wearer’s Effect Hit Rate by
24%/28%/32%/36%/40%
When the wearer deals DMG to an enemy that currently has 3 or more debuffs, increases the wearer’s CRIT Rate by
12%/14%/16%/18%/20%
After the wearer executes a Basic ATK, Skill, or Ultimate, there is a 100% initial probability of infusing Aether Code onto a random target that has not yet been affected and has been struck by the corresponding ability. The targets imbued with Aether Code will acquire a boost of 12%/14%/16%/18%/20%.
"Incessant Rain," an alternative option for Welt, offers exceptional benefits. While typically Silver Wolf's limited light cone, it can also greatly benefit Welt. This light cone not only improves Welt's Effect Hit Rate but also enhances his Crit Rate when the enemy is afflicted with at least three debuffs. Additionally, Welt can consistently apply "Aether Code" each turn, allowing the entire party to inflict more damage on a random enemy, further bolstering his support capabilities. Therefore, selecting "Incessant Rain" for Welt is a wise decision for both enhancing his damage potential and boosting the overall team's damage. This is especially true because it offers similar advantages to his own signature light cone.
1. In the Name of the World
Base ATK (LVL 80):
582
Base DEF (LVL 80):
463
Base HP (LVL 80):
1058
Effect
Increases the wearer’s DMG to debuffed enemies by
20%/25%/30%/35%/40%
When the wearer uses their Skill, the Effect Hit Rate for this attack increases by
20%/25%/30%/35%/40%
, and ATK increases by
20%/25%/30%/35%/40%
"Welt's signature 5-star light cone, known as 'In the Name of the World,' is an exceptional choice for him. This light cone greatly amplifies his DPS by augmenting his damage against debuffed enemies, a situation that frequently occurs when Welt is part of the team composition.
Furthermore, it empowers his skill to inflict even greater damage by boosting his ATK. Another benefit of this light cone is its enhancement of Welt's Effect Hit Rate, which increases his chances of imprisoning enemies with his Imaginary element and further reducing their speed. With this light cone, the team gains a substantial speed advantage in battle, offering not just defensive capabilities but also a notable increase in overall damage output per turn."
Honkai: Star Rail is now available on Android, iOS, PC and PlayStation.

Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z netizen, I am excited about the release of Honkai: Star Rail and the unveiling of Welt's exquisite light cones. Welt is a popular character from Honkai Impact 3rd, and I am eager to see how he will perform in this new game. The Loop light cone is a great option for F2P players, as it greatly enhances Welt's damage potential. The In the Name of the World light cone is Welt's signature 5-star light cone, and it significantly boosts his DPS output and strengthens his debuff abilities. I think that both of these light cones are great options for Welt, and I can't wait to try them out in the game.
In addition to the Loop and In the Name of the World light cones, there are also other light cones that can be used to enhance Welt's abilities. The We Will Meet Again light cone is a 4-star light cone that can only be acquired by purchasing Nameless Glory with real money. It is not suitable for free-to-play players, but it can prove useful for those interested in Welt's sub-DPS potential. The Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat light cone is a 5-star light cone that is a top choice for players seeking to enhance Welt's support potential. It imposes a decrease in enemy DEF, which amplifies the overall damage dealt by the team, including Welt's own DPS. I think that all of these light cones are great options for Welt, and I can't wait to try them out in the game.
