Honkai Star Rail Light Cones Tier List: Best 4-Star and 5-Star Options

This Honkai: Star Rail Light Cones tier list is a little different than others you might come across. Instead of ranking all of the Light Cones in HSR, we’re focusing on the best 4-Star and 5-Star options. Like many aspects of Honkai: Star Rail, the quality of Light Cones follows a star system, with these being the best ways to make your characters more powerful.

Honkai Star Rail Light Cones Tier List Breakdown

The tier structure I’ll be using here is S, A, and B. Here’s how that breaks down.

• S is for the best Light Cones you can get.
• A Cones are better than average.
• B is for Light Cones that are average.

Currently, there aren’t any C Tier Light Cones in the game, so all of these options are, at the very least, decent and worth using, depending on your luck and situation.

Given the nature of gacha games, it can be difficult to get items like 5-Star Light Cones without spending money or having a great amount of patience and a bit of luck. However, we’re hoping you can nab some of these for your builds! For more, you can check out our HSR relic guide or view our Honkai Star Rail guides hub to get information about the game.
