Before exploring the best characters for Ninja Record: Sound Hunt, here is its unique effect:

• When the wearer wields the LC, their HP gets a passive 12% boost. Additionally, whenever they regen or lose HP, their CRIT DMG gains a whopping 15% boost for two turns.

Here are the characters suitable for Ninja Record: Sound Hunt the best:

Yunli

If you are fond of the new counterattack-based FUA teams in Honkai Star Rail, consider using Ninja Record: Sound Hunt on Yunli. Her kit revolves around dealing damage from parrying the opponents’ attacks; she is bound to take damage from the enemies.

This is where the unique ability of the Light Cone comes into effect and assists Yunli in dealing greater damage to the enemies, as each time the wielder of the LC gets hit, they receive a decent CRIT DMG boost.

Since Yunli’s playstyle harmonizes well with this Light Cone’s effect, she is the best character for it.

Blade

Despite being a victim of power creep, Blade can easily benefit from the Ninja Record: Sound Hunt Light Cone in Honkai Star Rail. Whenever Blade uses his skill to enhance his Basic ATK, he consumes a part of his own HP. This allows him to instantly activate the CRIT boost of the LC right at the beginning of the fight.

Moreover, while attacking enemies, Blade also gains a decent amount of HP, meaning you do not have to wait until his skill runs out to trigger the CRIT boost of Ninja Record: Sound Hunt.

Clara

While there are not many Destruction characters in Honkai Star Rail who can deliberately consume or regenerate their own HP, one who can use Ninja Record: Sound Hunt’s unique effect consistently is Clara.

Similar to Yunli, Clara’s playstyle revolves around getting aggro of the enemies towards herself. Whenever an opponent hits her, she unleashes a counterattack, dealing a significant amount of damage to the adversaries.

Since the counterattack playstyle requires the character, in this case, Clara, to take hits from the enemies first, she will be able to use the unique effect of the Light Cone, Curtains Up!, consistently.
