Ranking all 5-star Light Cones in Honkai Star Rail 3.0

8) Sailing Towards a Second Life

Boothill’s signature Light Cone, Sailing Towards a Second Life, can only be equipped on characters following The Hunt Path. In the current version of the game, Boothill is the only The Hunt character that can fully utilize the effects of the equipment. Other units following the same path will have a hard time using the LC to its maximum potential.

If you already have Boothill or aiming to acquire Boothill in Honkai Star Rail 3.0, Sailing Towards a Second Life is a must-pull LC.


7) Yet Hope is Priceless

Jade’s signature Light Cone, Yet Hope is Priceless, is an excellent LC for most Erudition units, especially the ones that can unleash follow-up attacks. The unique effect of the LC can easily grant the wielder a significant damage boost when they use a follow-up attack. Owing to this, units like Herta (4-star) or even Himeko can effectively use this LC.

If you don't have Jade and like using any of the above-mentioned 5-stars, you can spend your Special Passes and acquire this piece of gear in Honkai Star Rail 3.0.


6) I Venture Forth to Hunt

I Venture Forth to Hunt is an excellent LC to pull if you already possess Feixiao. Since the 5-star gear is specifically made while keeping her abilities in mind, she can unleash her potential while having this Light Cone equipped.

Even if you don’t have Feixiao in your collection, characters such as Moze can effectively use it.


5) Incessant Rain

Weird enough, Silver Wolf’s signature Light Cone, Incessant Rain, is quite useful. Most characters treading on the Nihility Path can use this LC’s ability while fighting. Coincidentally, Fugue, the newest unit following this path can easily unleash its true potential.

Since this 5-star Foxian somewhat scales with Effect Hit Rate and can place debuffs on the enemies, the Light Cone is perfect for her. If you don’t have enough Jades to acquire Fugue’s signature LC and want a good replacement for it, Incessant Rain is the one you should get in Honkai Star Rail 3.0.


4) Into the Unreachable Veil

The Herta’s signature LC, Into the Unreachable Veil, is a great gear to pull in Honkai Star Rail 3.0, especially if you are thinking of acquiring the Genius Society member. The 5-star piece of gear can easily help The Herta deal a significant amount of damage to her adversaries.

Since the Genius Society member will be featured in a banner during the first phase of Honkai Star Rail 3.0, players will have a decent amount of time to get their hands on this LC.


3) Scent Alone Stays True

Even if you don’t have Lingsha added to your collection, you should pull for her signature in Honkai Star Rail 3.0. Since the BE team compositions are exceptionally popular, every team will either have Lingsha or Gallagher as the support/healer.

Since both units’ kits are quite identical, you can simply pull for Lingsha’s signature Light Cone and hand it to Gallagher as he can utilize it without handicapping himself.


2) Flowing Nightglow

Robin is a must-have support/buffer for most follow-up attack team compositions to clear the end-game activities Honkai Star Rail offers. The best way to boost her ability's potency is to acquire Flowing Nightglow.

Robin’s buffs require her ultimate to remain active at all times, and this Light Cone can help her achieve that since it boosts her Energy Regeneration Rate.


1) Time Woven Into Gold

Time Woven Into Gold, Aglaea’s signature Light Cone, is the best piece of gear Trailblazers can acquire in Honkai Star Rail 3.0. We recommend pulling for it, especially if you are thinking of rolling the 5-star Remembrance unit from Amphoreus.

Since the meta will be switching over to the Remembrance/summon characters, this LC will have an exceptional amount of impact.
