Story

"What did Introduction to Detective Deduction say again? Unless absolutely necessary..." Fangs woven in red and black crept inch by inch up his shoulder. Where the night drowns deepest, clouds of doubt emerge. In the shadowed forest, vicious beasts lurk. "This game of cat and mouse... it's time to end it." The crimson fades. Moonlight still gleams silver across the sky, and the stars rest in peaceful slumber. This is yet another one of his searches for the truth, but the shadows of the past tap his shoulder, then dissipate into nothing. The maneuvering of this very moment continues, until— "Until... the day retribution falls upon the wicked."

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.
