Honkai Star Rail Light Cones — Every Cone, Effects at S1 to S5
StarGuide's Light Cones page is a reference for every light cone in Honkai: Star Rail, not only the ones you own. Each cone states its passive effect written out at all five superimposition levels, its Path, rarity, and where it comes from, plus the characters StarGuide recommends it for in priority order. If you have imported a roster, your own copies appear under each cone with their superimposition and the character holding them. Free, no account required to read it.
What does a light cone do at higher superimposition?
Superimposition raises a light cone's passive effect, not its base stats, and how much it raises varies enormously by cone — some scale steeply from S1 to S5, others barely move. StarGuide writes out the full S1 through S5 progression for every cone in one place so you can see what a second, third, or fifth copy is actually worth before you pull or spend an Eidolon-equivalent resource on it. The effect text is generated from current game data rather than summarized, so the numbers are the real ones.
Which characters should use this light cone?
Each cone lists the characters StarGuide recommends it for, ranked, drawn from the same authored per-character build data behind the character guides. That answers the reverse question most tools ignore: not "what should this character equip" but "who is this cone for". A cone's Path is stated first because it decides who can benefit from the passive at all — an off-Path character still equips a cone, but only its base stats apply.
How do I manage my light cone copies?
Copies are tracked individually rather than as a count, so two copies of the same cone can sit on two different characters at two different superimposition levels. From this page you can add a copy, assign one to a character, move one off another character, unequip it, change its superimposition, or remove it. Moving a copy asks first and names both characters, and says plainly that the number of copies you own does not change. Nothing is auto-merged or auto-deleted. If you are gearing one specific character, the light cone picker on that character's page does the same things while showing the score effect on them directly.
Where do light cone recommendations come from?
This page is the catalog and your inventory. For which cone to acquire next, or a roster-wide reassignment of everything you own, see the LC Optimizer. To import your account so your copies appear here, see My Roster. Scoring assumptions, including how much a best-in-slot light cone is worth relative to eidolons, are published on the methodology page.
