Honkai Star Rail Light Cone Optimizer — LC Advisor
StarGuide's Light Cone Advisor manages your entire light cone inventory across three tabs: Optimizer for globally optimal reassignment, Acquire for finding which LC to get next, and Battle Pass for picking the highest-impact BP light cone each cycle. A best-in-slot S1 light cone is worth roughly one full tier step in character rating, so proper LC management is one of the highest-leverage things you can do for your account.
How does the LC Optimizer work?
The Optimizer uses the Hungarian algorithm to compute the globally optimal light cone assignment across your entire roster. It evaluates every possible swap and finds the assignment that maximizes total team power, weighted by character tier so your meta-relevant characters get priority. A 3% retention bias prevents the optimizer from stranding a high-tier character's only LC for a marginal gain elsewhere, but genuine upgrades above that threshold are always recommended. Applied changes are tracked so you know which swaps you've already committed to.
What does the Acquire tab recommend?
The Acquire tab identifies the biggest light cone gaps in your roster and recommends which LC to obtain next. It factors in how many characters would benefit, the tier of those characters, and how much the LC would improve their team scores. Recommendations are filterable by source: banner, standard pool, events, or Battle Pass, so you can focus on what's actually obtainable. For account-wide upgrade ranking across pulls, eidolons, and light cones together, see Next Best Action.
Which Battle Pass light cone should I pick?
The Battle Pass tab evaluates which BP light cone would have the highest impact on your roster for the current cycle. It considers which of your characters are currently using weaker alternatives and how much the BP option would improve their team scores. Manage your LC inventory on the roster page and find the strongest teams that use your optimized light cones in Best Teams.
