      yeah.I think it's underrated especially in firefly teams, because motp generally makes the rm lc feel unnecessary because of how the dmg bonus is not that good for break units. The sp refund helps e0 firefly maintain skill points, and you can put it on HTB which makes it generate even more sp because of how frequently HTB ults, and end up with too much sp to know what do do with (hence lingsha wanting to use sp isn't that bad)

    I agree with Kafka's Light cone being the best Nihility LC, but I think Jiao Qiu's LC is also very close in terms of value and versatility. It is the only LC I would consider pulling without owning the Character.
    It gives 60% EHR which is 20% more than other LC that give EHR. It applies a debuff that increases damage taken.
    At the moment only Kafka cannot make use of Jiao Qiu's LC. Pela and Silver wolf perfer running the Tutorial over JQ's LC, but they still make great use of this LC.
    Black swan with JQ's LC allows her become a better support in not DOT teams. It also makes hitting 120% EHR a lot easier.
    All of the 4* DOT units can run JQ's LC allowing them to not need an EHR Chest or any EHR sub stats. This allows them to build more Speed and attack.

      Her LC gives her an ATK% buff and DEF shred, which is amazing for her (let's you reach 87% def shred with 4 piece prisoner) and is her BiS for personal damage. JQ LC applies a debuff that gives 24% Vulnerability, so while her own damage falls down by 10%, Kafka also starts dealing more, pulling ahead in team damage by around 2%. With further Kafka and RM eidolons (E1, E2), BS LC starts pulling ahead again. Where JQ LC really shines is Dotcheron, as it boosts Acheron's damage, resulting in around 10% higher team damage. So overall, JQ LC is a sidegrade in DoT teams and her BiS where she supports another main DPS (Acheron). It can also beat her sig LC in DoT if you have a cracked Robin.

    The aggro manipulation on Yunli's lightcone is very useful for Clara and Blade as well as Yunli herself, and all three off them can use all of the buffs provided to some degree. It can also help keep your other teammates alive, since that destruction character is the main one getting attacked. This aggro manipulation is also unique to lightcones so far, only available otherwise through Lynx's skill, Clara's ultimate, and Yunli's ultimate.

    When I look at lightcones I don't see them as the same as getting an eidolon for a character for these reasons ->
    A: They have a better pity rate of 75/25 over 50/50
    B: Reaching hard pity is slightly easier because it's 80 pulls instead of 90
    C: Whereas an eidolon will strengthen a character, a good 5 star lightcone can also strengthen other characters when said character gets power-crept (easier for vertical investment)
    D: Depending on the lightcone lineup, you are able to S5 more strong 4 star lightcones to strengthen your entire account
    This is why I am considering Topaz S1 over E1, because while E1 does provide more for allies, S1 will just be easier to get for me as a light spender.

    You don't need to consume the skill points for Earthly Escapade. There's a line that mentions skill points recovered exceeding the skill point limit also count towards it. So, with Sparkle, her ultimate always refreshes the count on the Mask, and is generally 100% uptime since you get Mask at battle start as well. But yes, other than Sparkle it is hard to give that Light Cone to a unit that can keep the Mask up all of the time.
    Great analysis on the Light Cones, gave me some good insight on whether or not I want to pull for certain Light Cones in the future.

      Earthly Escapade can be very good on Ruan Mei as well if you play her slow (about 120 speed) since the buff lasts for 3 wearer turns, which for slow Ruan Mei is sometimes the entire fight if you clear in ~2 cycles. Not recommended for players who aren't aiming for low cycle clears though.

    @ElinneaG 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

    I appreciate getting this same concept revisited from time to time - it helps to consider LCs again as the game state changes over time.
    Personally, I actually really dislike swapping equipment around. I'd rather have all my characters in a ready-to-go state so I can just put them in a team and go whenever they seem useful. In the beginning of the game I followed all the advice 'just use On the Fall of an Aeon' (or the equivalent ftp version for any path). But as my roster has grown over time it has gotten frustrating that I only have limited copies of those f2p LCs, and I don't enjoy having to switch it between characters depending on who I'm using. I pulled Jingliu's signature and I don't regret it in the least, because she's the only one who wants it and I just never have to think about what LC she'll wear.
    I understand the argument for valuing LCs that are the most flexible to be used with multiple characters in the future, but there's also something to be said for prioritizing a LC that will be bespoke for one character. It just makes the game less frustrating overall (for me).

    RM has additional value because of its skill point recovery and this is pretty big the energy recovery per wave is very huge in endgame. This allows alot of units that cannot achieve a 1st turn ultimate to achieve it with this LC and not waste overcapping with skill/basic which opens up new strats and in general is better energy efficiency. With 2 waves in MOC your looking at 80 energy for the whole team which is honestly insane.

    Honestly DPS LCs imo have the most value since it usually provides everything the dps needs like most of the time a crit main stat and an additional effect that synergizes with their kit. Supports are cool too but most of the time they are just premium pick ups that just help with building the character, but most of the time 4 star LCs usually do the job for supportive units

      Particularly DPS LC when the non-sig options just feel so bad in comparison. Like an e0s0 Acheron kind of hits like a wet noodle (especially before Fox Guy). For some characters there is not a big drop off. For example, while she isn’t really meta anymore, Jingliu LC was never that much better than Herta store one. I lost the 75/25 on Acheron LC my first time, and it is my main LC that I want in the future.

  • @TrentOhNo
    @TrentOhNo 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +37

    I am confused about your stance on Topaz's LC. Her LC and E1 are about similar in value. Her LC gives her a huge 18 percent crit rate, 30% followup damage (I think you missed this part), and 24% crit damage when someone has the Tame state for the entire team. All that in one lightcone is pretty insane. On top of that, the Tame state counts as a debuff, which makes her so good when paired with Dr. Ratio.Her E1 is great as well, but that is usually why people say if you're gonna invest in Topaz, go E1S1. Also, her LC isn't just good for her. It works great on Dr. Ratio, Moze, Feixiao, and even March to some extent.
    Also you said her LC costs as much as a limited character? That's every limited LC. Same argument can be made for all of them haha.

    • @null_value
      @null_value 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      Another thing about Topaz LC is that if you're running Topaz, you're probably running 2x Hunt characters. Especially if you are F2P, the main DPS would already be using Herta shop Hunt LC, and you can't get a 2nd one of those. So IMHO, it's better to get Topaz's sig LC to be used on the 2nd Hunt / sub-dps, because it'll work on pretty much all of them, and there's no real alternative Hunt LCs for F2Ps for the sub-dps / support DPS.

      @evil4zerggin972 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

      In fact, limited LCs are cheaper on average than limited characters. The consolidated 5-star rate for characters is 1.6% and it takes 1.5 5-stars on average to get a limited character (apparently actually 1.4375 since the failed 50-50 has a 1/8 chance of drawing the limited character anyways) for a mean of about 90 pulls per limited. Meanwhile, LCs have a higher consolidated rate of 1.870% and a 75-25 chance of getting limited, which comes out to a mean of about 67 pulls per limited -- overall about 25% cheaper. 4-star characters do produce more Starlight than LCs after reaching E6 which could effectively narrow but not eliminate the gap.

    My 5* sig LC Tierlist.
    Exceptional value [no close substitutes]:
    - Archeron LC
    - Bronya LC
    High value [versatile]:
    - Seele sig LC
    -Jing Yuan sig LC (majority of Erudition chars have FUAs)
    - Topaz sig LC (works on literally any Hunt char with FUA, and also the 4* Hunt LCs aren't close substitutes)
    - Jiaoqiu sig LC (highest free EHR)
    Good-value [situationally good]:
    -Argenti sig LC (for Erudition chars that have high energy cost)
    - Yunli sig LC (for counter DPS + maybe Blade)
    Average value:
    - Gepard LC (fairly universal + it's standard banner)
    - Kafka sig LC (most DOT chars have much higher EHR needs than Kafka and thus prefer other options)
    - Ratio LC (realistically only works on Moze and Ratio)
    - Blade sig LC (expected future meta will be HP-reducing DPS, so the value of this LC may increase)
    - The rest of the DPS sig LCs that aren't listed
    Questionable value:
    - Silver Wolf sig LC (for like the 3 Welt DPS mains out there)
    - Robin sig LC (there are two types of ppl who get Robin's sig LC - ppl who don't know how to use her or ppl who want to zero cycle)
    - Aventurine sig LC (good stuff but costs limited tickets and not particularly necessary)
    - Sparkle sig LC (helps Seele's crit rate in mono quantum but apart from that it's ehh)
    If you have skill issue:
    - Ruan Mei sig LC (1 sp every 3 turns is not saving u buddy)
    Trash:
    - All Abundance and Preservation sig LCs (excluding Aventurine, Gepard)
    - Firefly LC (On the Fall of An Aeon exists)

    * I was a Blade main ever since I got him on his first run. I used to run him with Clara's LC and he worked fine. But ever since I got his LC on his rerun, his damage improved a lot (well for me).
    * I got lucky with Acheron ( I got her E1) and I tried to run her using the different LCs I have (Welt's, other 4*LC) but her damage was a little meh (my own skill issue). When i was able to get her LC, her damage has increased significantly and i was able to complete some end game content.
    * The third LC i tried to pull hard for but ran out of time was Yunli's. So with only a few pulls left for pity, I decided to get Jiaoqiu's LC for Black Swan instead. It actually improved her damage too. SHe is now more effective in my Nihility Mommies team..

    I have only pulled 3 light cones so far, Acheron’s signature, Topaz’s signature, and Robin’s signature. I can safely say the thing that makes a light cones most attractive to me is the quality of life it gives to the team/character. Acheron gets better dmg and lets her generate ult stacks faster. Topaz’s gives her and the whole team better dmg, especially so for Ratio since he wants debuffs. Robin’s gives her attack and dmg bonus which increases her dmg and will give her teammates more attack, but most importantly it gives her the most ERR of the of all the light cones, which is very important for her team dmg. I have been tempted for Jing Yuan’s light cones but most other light cones are just for more dmg, which I feel are safe to skip for F2P and low spending players

There will still be some scenarios where you can’t get your ult back right after concerto ends, but it will get you closer than any other light cone.

    That's the thing with eidolons or lightcones. You could just save and have a better unit in the future.
    The one for Ruan Mei is good, i dont have it, and also dont have even a single MoP, so my Ruan Mei feels kinda weird.

      It kinda follows what you said about saving too. If you didn't get RM on release and saved instead, then you coulda gotten both FF + RM and not needed RM's sig LC at all either. It doesn't hurt if you already got RM + her sig LC in the past, but it also doesn't hurt if you got RM on rerun and didn't get her sig LC as well.

  • @mongrelshadow14
    @mongrelshadow14 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Long yap ahead. To be some what brief I do agree that LC's are not "needed." However I have an issue with the follow up of that line which is usually either "because E1 is more valuable/pulling another character could be more valuable" or "because F2P options exist." The issue with the former is that it's far easier to win a light cone 50/50 than it is to win a character 50/50. If the pulls needed were the exact same then sure. As for the latter there's only so many decent F2P options, you need a minimum of 2 teams to complete all content. You will run into problems.
    Anyway to get into specific parts of the video:
    About Topaz LC: while the buffs on the cone are nice the real value from it comes from the debuff it applies. Debuffs are quite universal and wanted where as your F2P example of removing buffs is not something that has shown itself to be a sought after effect as of yet. I wouldn't say pull Topaz's LC over E1 first or pull it specifically because of that fact. But that's the main value it provides. Not the stats.
    About Aventurine's LC: So I pretty heavily disagree about trend being a good replacement for his sig's debuff. Is it a debuff? Yes. But it's nowhere near as consistent even in a meta where enemies blast your team regularly. But even RNG aside on getting hit there are situations where you can get hit with Trend and the debuff still does not apply. Aventurine's LC is nice not only because of the debuff and the ability to make him more DPS but because it makes his shields thicker. Even me sitting at 4k shields still regularly runs into situations where someone loses a shield because of enough damage. Getting that extra defense stat stick from his LC is huge.
    About FuXuan's LC: I have this LC and I will tell you that the healing it can do is not at all a selling point. Either you're in content that won't threaten to kill your characters and thus the healing doesn't matter. OR you very well can lose someone and that heal never goes into effect. It like the skill point you can get from RM's LC is nice to have but should never be the reason you pull the LC for. In FX's case you correctly assessed the value is she scales from HP and not defense like other preservation characters do.
    Harmony LC's: I feel like Robin's is probably one of the weaker LC's. Not because it's not good effects but because despite Robin's high energy cost it's quite easy to just get her energy from a frequent attacking team by default when you run her with QPQ Gally. even without him you're almost always just one skill away from getting it. If you're really looking for energy RM's is much better since her's actually makes it possible for many characters to turn 1 have their ultimate. I would actually value RM's over Robin's not only for that fact but because Harmony MC makes amazing use out of that break effect.

  • @OmegaShanic
    @OmegaShanic 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    As for my second comment: the real trick is that a sig Light Cone is a vertical investment by definition. And due to 75/25 and a lower hard pity, it is often cheaper than the alternative, which is to pull an Eidolon. So evaluating the 4* characters and light cones, the sig Light Cone might be the better value proposition depending on the character. However, it also means that signature light cones for the Harmony and DPS units tend to outshine sustain Light Cones, because you'd rather vertically invest in those characters. There are also "trick" Light cones, like Yunli's and Kafka's, that are worth the effort because their effect is unique and strong. Along with all of that, and keeping an eye out for what your own Light Cone situation is, (Do you have S5 or S0 Memories of the Past? How many Harmony Break characters do you have?) determines a lot of the value of these Light Cones.

  • @sovyenn

It's really not that great outside of Kafka, Jiaoqiu's lc has more value since it's great on him and Black Swan and it will be decent/good on any character that requires a lot of ehr. Imo it's a lot better to pull a lc that's insane on one character (that you like) but unusable on others than a lc that's kinda universal but in almost every case 4* options are better (even for Kafka s5 gnsw is barely worse then her sig)

    if I gonna pull the 5 star limited chara I also pull their sig LC just for the satisfaciton. the longer the game going in there will be a lot of characters with different mechanic, so for long run having their character with their LC help a lot from solving the problem of not having the right choices of light cone....for me having LC > Eidolon 1 or higher.......the only 5 star limited LC I dont have is SW lightcone because she is my 1st limited characters, and cannot afford to pull the LC back then

    I think in this case, I'm disagree with EOD. If his definition on the best LC is who can use it on a lot of people, in this case is char, then Yanqing LC is the best. his LC can lift your Crit DMG a lot and if you can't pop the crit, you get a nice amount of Crit Rate. Of course because this is a DPS LC.
    If you want to fit on that category, then support or debuffer LC Sign is your answer. Their LC can be used on multiple char, even all on the party can feels the value of it. DPS LC always fit perfectly with whose they made off and its kinda rare to fit with another char outside their archtype.

    One thing that sometimes pisses me off about signature light cone design in HSR is how oddly specific some of the passives are, like some of them provide basically nothing for any other character. The most extreme example off the top of my head is Jing Liu's LC mechanic. Some characters also benefit so greatly from the light cone that it's as if they sold you half the package when getting just E0 character. Example is Yunli who needs to get hit, and Acheron.

    Hate how mihoyo has being doing gacha weapons lately in their newer games. In genshin, you can atleast use a majority of weapons on other chars, but in Star rail and ZZZ? They are extremely tuned to their characters, even so much that most of the time you can't make of use them effectively on other chars, so much so they effectively design the chars around their gacha weapons. Take archeons lightcone for example, her 9 stacks are balanced around that things existance. You might say that's obivously the case but that's the problem, chars kits are beginning to more often than not be locked behind their weapon counterparts. Don't even wanna look at lightcones and dupe effects anymore, just warps your perception of the character, but sometimes its impossible to ignore, due to the number of people making guides using them.

  • @tokyovampire1
    @tokyovampire1 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I personally prefer s1 to e1. 75/25 vs 50/50 80 hard pity instead of 90. Four star rate up lcs are often better than rate up 4 star characters so many banners have a never used character where most lcs are sometimes useful. Also losing on lc banner feels better cause all standard lcs are useable but I will never use Yanqing or Bailu

  • @alexlamberd9052
    @alexlamberd9052 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The two light cones I'm considering picking up in the future are (1) Before Dawn to give to Himeko; I find it difficult to give her all the stats she needs (2) Jiaoqiu's LC when he reruns, along with him as well. Getting hime to high speed with ~149 EHR sounds like it's much more manageable with his LC. Outside of that, I chise Robin's E1 over LC this rerun, Id like to get her LC on the next. And I lost my 75/25 trying to get Ruan Mei's, so I'd try again for that one.

  • @Hyozanru
    @Hyozanru 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    This is PSA for someone out there who would consider picking up SW's LC "incessant Rain":
    If you are F2P and on the path of Horizontal Investment, it is not recommended to even pick up this LC.
    Her LC essentially gives: decent EHR, a conditional CR provided the enemy are debuffed, and a special debuff "Aether code" which practically a DMG increase.
    the LC of itself was good, however it is only for making her investment in other department negligible. In 1.1, E0S1 SW to me was practically was all over the place given the intention of her kit. "Do you wanna do DMG or what? if so, why it is like you don't mean it?".
    Given the inflexibility of this LC has, it is still usable on some character like Welt or Acheron. on SW, it is basically ONLY giving you option to turn her into a sub-DPS.

  • @Jfernandez02
    @Jfernandez02 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Idk about it being useful for multiple characters, but I will pull for Yunli's LC on her rerun because she is the character I like to play the most.
    I've been tempted to pull FuXuan's as well, but her lightcone doesn't change her playstyle like with Yunli

  • @PharmDiff
    @PharmDiff 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The LC I have pulled are the signature for Jingyuan, DanIL, Firefly. Jingyuan's very versatile imo, still use it to this day for PF, usually on Himeko (don't have Milky Way, but probably the preferred for PF). DanIL LC is pretty mid, can be used on Clara and destruction is very competitive for Aeon. Firefly I pulled purely for fun, I had gotten E2 in 37 pulls so I decided to minmax her. I debated Feixiao or Robin, but I pulled Robin E1 instead and it's ridiculously broken.
    Overall I think that giving longevity to a character you really like using is my goal for pulling LC. I still clear content with Jingyuan and DanIL, and I enjoy doing so.

  • @Mizdigo
    @Mizdigo 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Aventurine LC is awesome stat-wise, it has 635 base DEF bonus. Also works great with Acheron team. Trends for Aventurine are not so good as DEF is really poor there to reach 4k Def if you are building offensive Aventurine, which is badass. 100/200 Aventurine is pure joy with Robin even more. Trends works great for Gepard as he has passive to increase aggro. For Aventurine I would say better avoid Trends. I wouldnt pull his LC, but i dont own Gepard LC.

  • @RaikamiX
    @RaikamiX 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    To me, limited cones are the best vertical investment, better than eidolons (except some cases like Robin's E1)
    As an f2p with not really impressive luck, losing 7 50/50s and winning 3, I still find myself with enough jades to pick a light cone. I took kafkas jiaoqius and jing yuans
    And all those 3 are still useful for characters other than the owner for me

  • @CapSoo999

  • @eimanoh
    @eimanoh 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    i only ever pull lightcone if i feel like im gonna get skill issued when going for relic substat or because i like the character and they deserve their sig LC. like right now i have fu xuan, firefly, ruan mei and feixiao LC and all of them have pretty bad relics but their LC really carried their gameplay. tbh i do like them so the relic part isnt really that real lol. fyi im a low spender only buying BP and express pass and never getting shards ever.

  • @Xaerjin
    @Xaerjin 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The problem I have is that I’m either too lazy or forgetful to swap gear from character to character as I play. As I build up my roster I need signature light cones because the good free or cheap ones are all being used elsewhere.

    @thapotatonater827 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Spicy choice, I’m torn between pulling S1 Robin and S1 Boothill, I have the fua ipc team (no fei, I like dr ratio enough) all e0s0 while my robin is currently using the event lc and my boothill team consists of bronya e1s1 hmc with ddd and gal (I don’t have Mei but waiting for her rerun to switch with hmc) but currently outside of battle he’s at 220% break with a mix of meteor/messenger at 160 speed but with talia im at 240% during battle no hmc buff, so with his lc no Mei I hit 300% break, he’s using s5 swordplay atm and i know there’s the 4star coming out but my luck with pulling specific 4stars on banner sucks. Both will be great and im 60 in pity atm with guaranty so i could definitely pick up robins now or wait on boothill.

    @andysabur4966 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Without watching first, from my very limited playing (started 2.1, my first gacha) topaz lc imo works for her and ratio and i guess feixiao, use stellar sea for the other one. I played welt with acheron, and from what I've heard he can use her lc too (or even jiao's). The destruction lc idk, the erudition one ive heard jingyuan is universal. Harmony lc is pretty tailor made so not really useful asides stats and some passive

    • @andysabur4966
      @andysabur4966 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Looking up the destruction lc, kinda funny that yunli's lc work for blade I presume? Also yea, I pulled for rm lc cuz I had zero memories. Got it in 50 plus like a ddd and memories (plus if I don't use rm at all, giving it to Robin to help the first ult is really nice)

      @andysabur4966 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      "It's more important for Robin e1"

  • @wtpiv6041
    @wtpiv6041 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    This might be a lengthy question, but in ya’lls opinion what would be the best LC to go with for me? Currently I tend to use the FART follow up team with Fei Xiao’s LC and could go for Robin’s Aventurine’s or Topaz’s. I also have E0S1 Acheron and E1S1 for Fu Xuan. I also have Blade’s LC and Ruan Mei’s LC. So I’m wondering if I should be going for Aventurine’s or is E1 or if I should be going for Topaz’s or her E1? Or just save for E2 Acheron?

  • @trulycursed-_-2356
    @trulycursed-_-2356 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    FuA is my favorite playstyle but sadly the most expensive as well. I feel like you should pull LC and eidolons based on the teams you like. I liked FuA so I got E1S1 Robin and E1S1 topaz. I am waiting for Adventurine rerun and hopefully I can get E2S0 or E2S1. Invest more in the playstyles you enjoy is my recommendation.
