Leaked Light Cones Unveiled for Version 2.1
Dim Leaks, a reliable source for such information, has disclosed details about the three upcoming Light Cones in Honkai: Star Rail's version 2.1. The five-star Preservation Light Cone, "Inherently Unjust Destiny," is set to increase character defense by a substantial 36%. Meanwhile, the four-star "Concert for Two" provides a slightly lower defense boost.
Additionally, the five-star Nihility Light Cone, "Along the Passing Shore," is anticipated to amplify user CRIT damage by at least 36%. The exact availability of these Light Cones in the update's first or second phase remains unclear.
Use of Light Cones by Characters
According to leaked information, characters in the upcoming version are expected to strategically utilize these Light Cones. Aventurine, a key character in Honkai: Star Rail, is rumored to enhance survivability in combat by wielding the Preservation Light Cone, "Inherently Unjust Destiny." Meanwhile, the Lightning unit Acheron is poised to benefit from the Nihility-type Light Cone, "Along the Passing Shore," to boost CRIT damage. The four-star Light Cone, "Concert for Two," is speculated to synergize well with characters following the path of Preservation.
In addition to these Light Cones, version 2.1 will also feature characters that players can acquire using Rail Passes from a time-limited banner. Among these characters is Acheron, a Lightning unit from the Nihility path, rumored to serve as a formidable main DPS. Leaks suggest that Acheron excels in delivering Lightning damage and synergizes effectively with the character Luka. Players eager to experience these new additions will have to await the official release of version 2.1 to see if the rumored features live up to expectations.
