Honkai Star Rail tweaks Dr. Ratio’s signature Light Cone in the latest beta

As detailed in the Reddit post by user shinsetsu_fuji, the leak indicates a slight rework to Dr. Ratio’s signature Light cone. Specifically, the Baptism of Pure Thought has been adjusted to reflect the following alterations to his Mental Training skill:

• Crit DMG remains unaffected at 20%
• Crit DMG stacks also remain unaffected
• Debate Effect has been renamed to Disputation Effect
• Follow-up attacks now ignore 20% of the target’s DEF instead of 16%
• The effect still lasts for two turns

While the change may seem insignificant, a 4% net increase in follow-up attack shred is nothing to scoff at. This change cements the Baptism of Pure Thought as the Light Cone to get for Dr. Ratio, owing to its impressively strong ability. However, his rotations and general playstyle should remain unaffected.

Note that this information is made available by third-party sources unaffiliated with developer HoYoverse. As such, these buffs do not reflect the final version of the Light Cone and may be nullified upon final release.
