Here are the three best characters for the Abundance Light Cone, Scent Alone Stays True in Honkai Star Rail

The unique effect of Scent Alone Stays True in Honkai Star Rail is as follows:

• Upon equipping, the wielder gets a 60% Break Effect boost. When the wielder uses their Ultimate to hit the opponents, adversaries get afflicted with the “Woefree” state for a duration of two turns. The damage multiplier of the “Woefree” state increases when the wielder’s Break effect is 150% or more.

The best characters for this 5-star Light Cone are:

1) Lingsha

Scent Alone Stays True is the best Light Cone for Lingsha as it is her signature LC in Honkai Star Rail. The unique effect, Contentment, is tailor-made for her and harmonizes well with her kit. Since Lingsha is a healer and support for the Break Effect characters, this Light Cone is the best one, players can get their hands on for the Cauldron Master of Alchemy Commission.

Moreover, the Light Cone's ability to grant a hefty amount of Break Effect to the wearer makes this LC stand out from the rest.

2) Gallagher

Excluding Lingsha, Gallagher is the second-best choice for Scent Alone Stays True. Since Gallagher is a support unit for the Break Effect team compositions, he can utilize the 60% BE boost from the LC. Moreover, he attacks the enemies with his ultimate which will allow him to procure the “Woefree” state easily.

Therefore, when paired with this 5-star gear, Gallagher can increase the amount of Break damage taken by the enemies with his ultimate and all damage received by the adversaries, simultaneously. Since both effects stack on top of the other, the DPS units can deal an abnormal amount of damage with each hit.

Luocha

While there are no other Abundance units in Honkai Star Rail that have good synergy with the BE characters, we have selected Luocha as the last one since his kit somewhat harmonizes with the Scent Alone Stays True in Honkai Star Rail. As he doesn't scale with the Break Effect, the passive BR boost will be wasted.

However, the damage vulnerability of Scent Alone Stays True is something that Luocha can use as it can benefit any DPS units and enhance their overall damage.
