Looking to power up your characters in Honkai: Star Rail without spending a dime? Look no further! This guide highlights the best free Light Cones you can acquire and how to snag them.
Honkai: Star Rail – Top Free Light Cones and How to Get Them
There are two main locations where you can snag free Light Cones: Herta’s Shop and the Forgotten Hall.
Herta’s Shop
This shop is linked to the Simulated Universe, where you fight through randomized challenges. Here, you’ll find three powerful five-star Light Cones and their corresponding Superimposers to enhance them. You can also purchase unlimited Star Rail passes using Herta Bonds, another currency earned here.
he shop offers three enticing options:
- Cruising in the Stellar Sea (The Hunt) – 8 Herta Bonds
- Texture of Memories (The Preservation) – 8 Herta Bonds
- On the Fall of an Aeon (The Destruction) – 8 Herta Bonds
Each one costs 8 Herta Bonds, which you can earn by:
- Clearing Worlds in the Simulated Universe (first time bonus)
- Earning weekly Point Rewards
Don’t forget to grab the special Superimposers from Herta’s Shop to further enhance these Light Cones.
Light Cone Manifest Store
This store unlocks after completing the Fleeting Lights mission and gaining access to the Forgotten Hall. Lucent Afterglow, the currency used here, comes from finishing stages in the Forgotten Hall and Echo of War challenges.
Here are some of the gems you can find:
- Quid Pro Quo (The Abundance)
- River Flows in Spring (The Hunt)
- Past and Future (The Harmony)
- Woof! Walk Time! (The Destruction)
- Fermata (The Nihility)
- The Seriousness of Breakfast (The Erudition)
- We Are Wildfire (The Preservation)
Each Light Cone costs 200 Lucent Afterglow, easily obtainable by completing stages in the aforementioned challenges.
Alternative Light Cone Sources
While Herta’s Shop and the Light Cone Manifest Store offer the most reliable free Light Cones, there are a couple of other options:
- Starlight Exchange: Here, you can technically exchange Undying Starlight (earned from pulling characters and Light Cones) for five-star Light Cones. However, the cost is quite high, making this method less efficient.
- Limited-Time Events: Keep an eye out for special events that might reward free Light Cones for participation.
These free Light Cones provide a fantastic way to strengthen your team in Honkai: Star Rail without spending a dime. With a bit of effort, you can unlock powerful options that will significantly boost your characters’ abilities. So, what are you waiting for? Start farming and unleash your team’s full potential!
