Best Light Cones to pull in Honkai Star Rail version 2.7

4) Before Dawn

Before Dawn is one of the least popular Light Cones in Honkai Star Rail. Since it is Jing Yuan’s signature LC, it can only be equipped on the Erudition units. Among all of the characters following the aforementioned Path, only a handful of them like Herta, Himeko, and Jade can use this Light Cone since it boosts their FUA damage by a hefty margin.

Moreover, the passive skill and Ultimate damage boost are also very helpful for most Erudition units since they amplify their outgoing damage by a decent amount.

3) Whereabouts Should Dreams Rest

Firefly’s signature Light Cone, Whereabouts Should Dreams Rest, is a good Light Cone but not as effective if you don’t have the Stellaron Hunter. Since Firefly is the only Destruction unit that scales with the BE (Break Effect) stat, you won't be able to unlock the equipment’s full potential.

However, if you already have Firefly in your collection, spending some Jades and pulling for the Light Cone is a no-brainer.

2) Long Road Leads Home

Long Road Leads Home, Fugue’s signature Light Cone is an exceptional piece of equipment that you should try to pull in Honkai Star Rail version 2.7. Since Fugue’s abilities scale with the Break Effect stat, the LC grants a decent BE boost. If you are thinking of pulling for Fugue, you should definitely roll for Long Road Leads Home as there are not many Nihility Light Cones that scale with the BE stat.

Judging solely by value, Long Road Leads Home is an excellent LC that can be used by various debuffers since it can help their DPS units deal a hefty chunk of damage whenever they hit a Weakness Broken enemy.

1) A Grounded Ascent

A Grounded Ascent is a Harmony Light Cone which will primarily be used by Sunday after his debut in Honkai Star Rail. Since Sunday is one of the most anticipated characters, many Trailblazers will be pulling for him and his signature LC during the first phase of version 2.7.

Solely judging by the value of A Grounded Ascent, you should pull for this even if you are not getting Sunday. The gear can be used by any Harmony character whose abilities target one allied character. Hence, characters such as – Sparkle, Bronya, and Hanya are the perfect picks for it.
