Story

He immediately falls in love with the golden vessel and is about to buy it, but the foxian girl drags him aside and whispers: "Please return at night, Mr. Benefactor, and make up your mind then." As promised, he returns at night. The same foxian girl opens the door and smiles at him. "Please follow me, Mr. Benefactor." A ray of moonlight shines onto the base of the etched plate. The artisan had traced the petals with lines of various depths, and he would not be able to see such details without the moonlight. He finally recalls why this item is called "Carve the Moon, Weave the Clouds."

Trivia & Origins

HoYoverse's own game data has no gacha table pairing this cone with a specific character, and the internal flavor text doesn't name one either — not enough evidence to assign a signature owner, no guessing.

How to read this Light Cone page

Every Light Cone has exactly one passive effect tied to the wielder's combat performance; that effect scales up as you Superimpose it from S1 to S5 — use the S1-S5 buttons above to see the exact numbers at each level instead of guessing or interpolating. A Light Cone only delivers its full value on a character who shares its Path; "Characters who use this cone" lists every character on that Path, while "Best users" is a narrower list pulled from real build consensus, not a guess.

Base stats (HP/ATK/DEF) are shown at Lv80 for every cone of the same rarity so they can be compared directly; a 5-star cone will always edge out 4-star and 3-star ones here — the real difference lives in the passive effect, not the flat stats. The "Alternative cones on the same Path" section suggests a few other options if you do not own the signature cone yet, or want to compare before spending ascension materials.

See the full list on the Light Cones page, or check terms in the HSR Glossary.
