Imbibitor Lunae is a highly anticipated character in Honkai: Star Rail who joins the playable character roster in version 1.3. He is introduced to players in the Trailblazer Story of previous versions, creating excitement among fans. In the Divine Seed Echoes of War weekly boss, players can experience part of his gameplay and receive assistance from an NPC variant of this character. However, what sets Imbibitor Lunae apart is that he represents a new form of Dan Heng. This introduces the possibility of other characters acquiring new forms in the future.
5 A Secret Vow (S5)
: Maximizing Imaginary Damage Potential: Choosing Light Cones for Imbibitor LunaeImbibitor Lunae, the first primarily DPS-oriented Imaginary character in Honkai: Star Rail, offers incredible potential for players seeking to deal high Imaginary DMG. To fully unlock his power, players should prioritize equipping the best available light cones. Thankfully, there is a range of accessible options suitable for all players, including viable choices that are free-to-play.
| HP | ATK | DEF |
|---|---|---|
| 1058 | 476 | 264 |
| S5 Passive | ||
| Increases DMG dealt by the wearer by 40%. The wearer also deals an extra 40% of DMG to enemies with a higher HP percentage than the wearer. | ||
While A Secret Vow may not offer the same level of reliability on Imbibitor Lunae compared to characters like Arlan or Blade, it remains an excellent choice, particularly for content where formidable boss enemies consistently inflict heavy damage on Imbibitor Lunae. However, maximizing the potential of this light cone is crucial, and players are advised to prioritize maximizing its superimposition.
This will empower Imbibitor Lunae to deal substantial damage even with the unconditional increase in damage. For those looking to utilize this light cone, it is recommended to pair Imbibitor Lunae with characters that provide shielding, rather than relying on healers who constantly heal. This approach allows players to more frequently benefit from the secondary effect without feeling overwhelmed by healing needs.
4 Something Irreplaceable
| HP | ATK | DEF |
|---|---|---|
| 1164 | 582 | 396 |
| S1 Passive | ||
| Increases the wearer's ATK by 24%. When the wearer defeats an enemy or is hit, immediately restores HP equal to 8% of the wearer's ATK. At the same time, the wearer's damage increases by 24% until the end of their next turn. This effect cannot stack and can only trigger 1 time per turn. | ||
Opting for Something Irreplaceable can be a viable choice for players looking to incorporate self-healing capabilities into their Imbibitor Lunae usage. However, there are significantly superior alternatives accessible for this particular character. Nevertheless, due to its innate ATK boost that complements Imbibitor Lunae's scaling, as well as the conditional damage increase it provides, it still stands as a commendable option for those who already possess this luminous cone.
3 Under The Blue Sky (S5)
However, it is advised against intentionally pursuing the acquisition of this light cone for Imbibitor Lunae, as there exist alternative 5-star and 4-star choices that can yield comparable results with fewer resource demands.
| HP | ATK | DEF |
|---|---|---|
| 952 | 476 | 330 |
| S5 Passive | ||
| Increases the wearer's ATK by 32%. When the wearer defeats an enemy, the wearer's CRIT Rate increases by 24% for 3 turns. | ||
Under The Blue Sky is the top choice of light cone for Imbibitor Lunae, a 4-star light cone, due to its significant benefits. It not only gives him a substantial boost in additional ATK, but also a remarkable increase in Crit Rate. This is especially noticeable when fighting weaker enemies. This attribute is important for his build as it enhances the effectiveness of his Planar Ornament, "Rutilant Arena," which requires a 70% Crit Rate threshold to provide additional buffs for his Basic Attacks.
As a result, players can focus on other stats in their build when using this light cone. Because of the combined advantages it offers, Under The Blue Sky, even when fully enhanced, is a more viable option for Imbibitor Lunae compared to The Unreachable Side, Blade's signature light cone, despite its lower rarity.
2 On the Fall of an Aeon (S5)
| HP | ATK | DEF |
|---|---|---|
| 1058 | 529 | 396 |
| S5 Passive | ||
| Whenever the wearer attacks, their ATK is increased by 16% in this battle. This effect can stack up to 4 times. When the wearer inflicts Weakness Break on enemies, the wearer's DMG increases by 24% for 2 turns. | ||
A top choice for Imbibitor Lunae, On the Fall of an Aeon is now available as a free-to-play option in Herta's Store. By collecting enough Herta Bonds, players can unlock this powerful weapon. When fully stacked, it provides an impressive 64% ATK bonus and enhances the damage inflicted by Imbibitor Lunae when breaking enemies' toughness. This makes it particularly effective against foes with an Imaginary weakness. However, even without this advantage, On the Fall of an Aeon remains a formidable option.
Furthermore, it is important to mention that, due to the presence of this light cone, players have the ability to give priority to other stats such as Speed when it comes to relic boots. This is particularly significant because Speed is a stat that would typically be lacking in the character's overall stat distribution, even though it yields considerable advantages.
1 Brighter Than the Sun
| HP | ATK | DEF |
|---|---|---|
| 1058 | 635 | 396 |
| S1 Passive | ||
| Increases the wearer’s CRIT Rate by 18%. When the wearer uses their Basic ATK, they will gain 1 stack of Dragon’s Call for 2 turns. Each stack of Dragon’s Call increases the wearer’s ATK by 18% and Energy Regeneration Rate by 6%. Dragon’s Call can be stacked up to 2 times. | ||
Brighter Than the Sun is the preferred light cone for Imbibitor Lunae and is known for its high Crit Rate boost. Similar to Under The Blue Sky and The Unreachable Side, this light cone also provides a significant ATK percentage increase and enhanced Energy Regeneration Rate, allowing Imbibitor Lunae to use his Ultimate more frequently. It is important to note that while "Brighter Than the Sun" is not essential for Imbibitor Lunae if players already have access to the aforementioned light cones, it can be a great choice for players who want a versatile light cone option for their other Destruction characters that rely on ATK and Crit Rate scaling.
Honkai: Star Rail is now available on Android, iOS, and PC. A PlayStation version is in development.
