Story

Looking back at her childhood, she remembered the first time she heard adventure stories of the Trailblaze. Her tiny heart beat for the mystery and vastness of the universe, so she picked up a paintbrush and drew her very first imaginings of the cosmos. "A comet ship, a silver rail, a Navigator..." "With this, is it possible to Trailblaze now?" But a curse delayed her footsteps, and a sickbed confined her youth. During those lonely times, towering stacks of books, scattered engine blueprints, and empty bottles of paint became her everyday life. Her frail figure wielded the brush, carefully outlining the dream she yearned for. "Perhaps I can seize more possibilities within this limited time." "Even a dream is worth being illuminated by colors." As the stars shifted once more, in the blink of an eye, she had already departed on her journey to the stars. Carrying the wish she shared with her friend, she became the person she had always dreamed of becoming. "The journey of the Trailblaze begins at this very moment." The Express traverses the universe, and the footprints of the Navigator and her companions advancing side by side form a solid silver rail. "Together, let's reach the future where the stars reside!"

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.
