For the best Hypercarry Dan Heng IL build in Honkai Star Rail, you should consider picking up his signature Light Cone, Brighter Than the Sun, to improve his entire kit. The equipment increases his CRIT Rate and generates a stack of Dragon's Call after he uses his Basic ATK. It stacks up to two times, and each of them further increases its ATK and Energy Regeneration.

When all the effects are active, he should reach his maximum damage threshold and regenerate his Ultimate quickly. The ability makes him consistent as it mitigates his Skill Point needs to unleash enhanced basic attacks.

Lunae also has quite a few good F2P Light Cones for the non-frugal playerbase in Honkai Star Rail. Among them, On the Fall of an Aeon stands out as his best accessible option since players can acquire it from the Herta Store and superimpose it to its maximum level in exchange for a few bonds.

The passive from the Light Cone increases his ATK stat after he unleashes any attack during battle. It also provides a hefty damage boost whenever he inflicts a Weakness Break. Activating the second effect is easy for Lunae, given that his enhanced basics greatly damage a target's toughness.
