4) Life Should Be Cast to Flames
- Signature of: Anaxa (Erudition)
- Why it ranks last: While Anaxa himself benefits greatly from this Light Cone, it offers little value to other Erudition units. Its power is tied too closely to his kit, meaning if you don’t have Anaxa, the weapon loses most of its potential.
Verdict: Only worth pulling if you plan to build Anaxa. Otherwise, skip.
3) Though Worlds Apart
- Signature of: Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae (Preservation)
- Why it’s weaker: This Light Cone scales primarily on ATK and healing effects, which conflicts with most Preservation characters who scale off DEF. While it works for Dan Heng’s alternate form, it doesn’t offer much versatility for other Preservation units.
Verdict: Niche pick. Strong for Dan Heng, but other Preservation characters have better options.
2) To Evernight’s Stars
- Signature of: Evernight (Remembrance)
- Strengths: This Light Cone boosts HP, grants allies’ memosprites DEF-ignoring damage, and generates extra Energy. Castorice and Hyacine, for example, can make excellent use of it—especially Castorice since her kit benefits from HP scaling.
Verdict: A solid support-oriented Light Cone, but not completely game-breaking. Good for Remembrance teams.
1) Into the Unreachable Veil
- Signature of: The Herta (Erudition)
- Why it’s the best: This Light Cone passively boosts CRIT Rate and enhances Skill/Ultimate damage when the latter is used. Since these conditions are easy to activate, it’s an incredibly strong option not just for The Herta but for many Erudition DPS characters in Honkai Star Rail.
Verdict: The standout Light Cone of version 3.6. Highly recommended if you play Erudition damage dealers.
In summary, while all four Honkai Star Rail 3.6 Light Cones have unique value, not every one of them is worth pulling for general players.
- Best Overall: Into the Unreachable Veil
- Great for Niche Teams: To Evernight’s Stars
- Situational/Signature-Only: Life Should Be Cast to Flames & Though Worlds Apart
If you’re low on Stellar Jade, prioritize Into the Unreachable Veil for the most versatile investment.
Now you’re fully prepared for version 3.6 Light Cones—so you can save your pulls for the best gear.
