Three new Light Cones have been revealed so far, including the signature Light Cones for the two 5-star characters. They are all limited and include:

• Incessant Rain: Silver Wolf’s signature Light Cone. Increases the wearer’s hit rate and damage output on a targeted enemy. It is a 5-star Light Cone that is support oriented and for characters following the Path of Nihility.
• Echoes of the Coffin: This is Luocha’s signature Light Cone. It is a support based Light Cone that increases the ATK and SPD of the wearer and allies, respectively. It can only be equipped on characters following the Path of Abundance. It is also a 5-star Light Cone.
• Before the Tutorial Mission Starts: Only usable by characters following the Path of Nihility. Equipping this Light Cone increases the wearer’s Hit Rate and Energy regeneration. This 4-star Cone can be farmed directly from the Starhunt Game event in Honkai Star Rail.
