Scent Alone Stays True in Honkai Star Rail is the newest Abundance Light Cone players can acquire from the event LC banner. Being Lingsha’s signature LC, this 5-star piece of gear is naturally tailor-made to suit her playstyle and abilities and enhance her a little. However, since the LC can be equipped on other Abundance characters too, players may wonder if it's still worth pulling for even if they are not aiming for Lingsha.

In this article, we will discuss whether Scent Alone Stays True is worth it or not.

Overview of Scent Alone Stays True and if you should go for it in Honkai Star Rail

The new 5-star piece of gear, Scent Alone Stays True is an Abundance Light Cone, meaning only characters following the Abundance Path can wear it.

Now let's take a look at what effects the LC can grant to the wearer in Honkai Star Rail:

• When worn by the user, they gain a passive 60% Break Effect boost. When the wielder uses their ultimate ability, they are able to inflict the Woefree debuff on the enemies. This unique debuff renders the opponents vulnerable and makes them receive an extra 10% damage.
• If the user’s Break Effect stat exceeds 150%, the Woefree debuff deals 8% additional damage to the adversaries affected by the debuff.

The answer to the question of whether you should pull for the Scent Alone Stays True LC in Honkai Star Rail is rather complicated. Since Lingsha's kit is quite unique compared to other Abundance characters, the stats and effects are tweaked to help her the most. Given the scarcity of Abundance units that can utilize the Break Effect stat properly, there are not many viable choices for this LC.

Simply put, if you already have Lingsha or are planning to pull for her then you should roll for Scent Alone Stays True. Otherwise, it's recommended that you skip it. While it can be a significant upgrade for Gallagher, acquiring it can be quite hard as it boasts a 5-star rarity and requires you to spend a decent amount of Stellar Jades/Special Passes.

If you are running low on Stellar Jades or saving for one of the upcoming characters, this Light Cone is not worth it right now if you don't have the right units. If the developers decide to later introduce more Abundance characters with identical playstyle and abilities as Lingsha, this Light Cone will become worthy of consideration. Until then, you can skip it without a second thought.
