Honkai Star Rail Light Cones Tier List: Best Light Cones in Version 2.7
Make sure your party is powered by the best Light Cones.
UPDATE 20/12/2024: We have updated this page with more Light Cones to be up to date with Version 2.7 of Honkai Star Rail.
Throughout Honkai: Star Rail, you’ll come across Light Cones. Dozens of them, even. These act as your character's weapons, to an extent, giving them powerful buffs and abilities to utilise in battle. These are essential to getting the most out of your characters, so making sure they’re equipped with the most relevant and best Light Cones is important.
Considering there are so many Light Cones to read through and choose from, it can be hard to work out what’s best, and which ones you actually want to buy from Herta and beyond. We’ve gone ahead and detailed a Light Cone tier list for each Path in Honkai Star Rail, to help you figure out which Light Cones are worth Warping or grinding for.
Honkai Star Rail Light Cones Tier List
We’ve arranged our Light Cones tier list for Honkai Star Rail by the Path that each Light Cone is a part of. This way, you can easily see which Light Cones can be equipped to which character!
These tier lists are arranged by what we believe to be the most powerful Light Cones in the game, community feedback, and a little theory-crafting when it comes to powerful cards that we don’t yet have, but of course, use your own discretion when equipping these to characters. Some B tier Light Cones might be better for one character or party composition than an S tier, and vice versa!
That said, S tier Light Cones are among the best of the best, and the cones you should often strive to have equipped. A and B tier Light Cones are perfectly okay to be using while you no doubt grind for five-stars, and C tier Light Cones should be your last resort.
