It's also advantageous to have different element types since enemies often have different combat-type weaknesses. While there are some scary people who build Natasha for damage, her utility as a healer is her main selling point and is ultimately what will get your team through tougher cro

Sleep like the Dead is a Hunt light cone that greatly increases critical damage and provides critical rate for one turn if the wearer's last attack did not result in a critical hit. For the most part, the biggest reason to use this light cone over any other would be the massive boost to critical damage as the other part of the effect is inconsequential if you've built your characters eno

Through some cruel twist of fate or otherwise, there's a chance that your heavy hitters can be frozen and will just be picked on by the enemies until they're dead. However, Bailu can save you from that horrible twist of RNG by resurrecting this hard-hitting

When those conditions are met, it will also increase the wearer's damage for a turn. Unfortunately, this effect can only be activated once per turn, but it's still great for Clara who wants to be hit and Arlan who does better at low health. Perfect for its niche, this light cone is number se

In first place is the Nihility light cone, In the Name of the World. This light cone increases the wearer's damage against debuffed enemies, and when they use their skill, they receive and attack buff and are more likely to apply debu

Many who've had to fight the Doomsday Beast at Herta Space Station hated its multiple phases, but every Captain out there often touts the Doomsday Beast as a Benares copy-paste. So, it's not the first time they've had to fight something like th

The light cone in last place on this list is a Herta Store exclusive. Texture of Memories will make the wearer more resistant to debuffs and grant a shield when attacked if the wearer doesn't already have one. As a bonus, if the wearer does have a shield, they'll also take reduced dam

If you don't want to build Natasha, or you don't have Gepard yet, the Trailblazer is always a good addition to the team. Fire Type Trailblazer is notorious for being a strong damage dealer and a flexible support teammate. In this case, they can be utilized for their supportive qualities since their skill taunts enemies towards them and provides the entire team with some shielding. It might not be a thick shield, but they at least draw the enemies away from other characters through their ta

Since Curios are random, having a way to bring back some you've already used is very beneficial, especially when you can get another 3-star Blessing or party revive. It gets number nine since it's good but very situatio

Number five on this list will be a one-time use Curio called the Fruit of the Alien Tree. What it does is immediately revive allies after winning a battle and put them back at max health. It gets destroyed after this effect is activated, but having an emergency revive is always n

For 4-star Light Cones, the Honkai Star Rail missions: Star Rail Battle Pass weapon, Today is Another Peaceful Day is brilliant as it gives an unconditional, universal DMG Bonus to Jing Yuan. As for non-spenders, those who won The Birth of the Self Light Cone from the Warps can totally use it on Jing Yuan as it enhances the follow-up attack DMG done by his Lightning Lord. Genius' Repose is also viable, although not as good as the other non-F2P opti

As of now there are seven light cones available in the Starlight Exhange and three in the Herta Store, which can be purchased using Undying Starlight and Herta Bond respectively. These currencies can be accumulated as you play the game. This list will be ranking the 5-star light cones from each store, so you know which ones will be worth buy

This must be why a lot of the beasts that were infected by the Fragmentum look eerily similar to the Honkai Beasts, or why a lot of the symptoms of Fragmentum Corrosion in humans resonate strongly with Honkai Radiat

Destruction characters hit hard already, but they hit harder when their health gets lower. Something Irreplaceable is a light cone that works around that unique trait. It gives an unconditional attack boost to the wearer and heals them whenever they defeat an enemy or get

This simple Curio will randomly give you two 1 or 2-star Blessing that can help your team. Of course there's always a chance those Blessings don't do much depending on how your Simulated Universe run is going, but for the most part, an extra Blessing or two will benefit your pa

You can never go wrong with an all-around healer on your team. Since Sampo isn't really known for having great amounts of defense, it's no surprise that he can be vulnerable to heavier-hitting enemies. Natasha and Sampo have great synergy in a team since Natasha can contribute to the team's longevity, while Sampo can dish off-field damage through his Wind Shears and on-field damage through his skill or ultim
