The best 5-star Light Cones from Herta Store in Honkai Star Rail

At the time of writing, there are a total of five Light Cones available in the Herta Store in Honkai Star Rail. Characters treading on The Hunt, Destruction, Preservation, Nihility, and Erudition can use the Light Cones and effectively utilize their unique effects.

Having said that, these are the best Light Cone options to choose from the Herta Store in Honkai Star Rail:

1) Cruising in the Stellar Sea

Cruising in the Stellar Sea is an excellent choice for The Hunt characters. It's a good free-to-play alternative for the players who do not have any decent 4-star Light Cones for their Hunt units. The unique effect of this gear, Chase, grants its user a whopping 8% CRIT Rate boost. This Light Cone additionally boosts the wearer’s CRIT Rate when the opponent has 50% or lower HP.

This allows The Hunt units to land CRIT hits more often, increasing the overall damage.

2) Texture of Memories

For the Path of Preservation units, Texture of Memories is an outstanding choice from the Herta Store. Since most Preservation characters specialize in tanking, they need to stay active at all times. Effect RES is an excellent stat for that since it makes sure the character doesn’t get affected by the enemy’s CC(Crowd Control) debuffs. The Texture of Memories raises the user's Effect RES by 8%.

Moreover, this Light Cone can grant a shield to the wearer when they don’t have shields and are hit by an enemy. Since the shield scales with the unit’s HP, the Preservation characters who scale with health, like Fu Xuan, can benefit from this Light Cone.

3) Eternal Calculus

The newest addition to the Herta Store in Honkai Star Rail is Eternal Calculus. It is an Erudition Light Cone which suits the FUA playstyle the best. Since the FUA team compositions for Pure Fiction are in meta, you should pick this Light Cone up from the store.

Characters such as Himeko, Herta, Jade, and more who specialize in FUAs (Follow-up attacks) can be quite effective when they are equipped with this LC, as it increases the attack effectiveness with each FUA. Moreover, you can easily stack this LC to the maximum level which will boost its unique effect’s potency even more.
