Story

The instant magical energy surges forth, the gem's brilliant hues splash across the walls. The teenage girl breaks into a delighted smile, carefully enfolding the dancing light with her palms. "I did it! Does this mean I can also become a great mage someday?" She envisions her future as a mage, planting the seed of a wish deep in her heart. "You can do this, Rin Tohsaka! Succeeding once isn't enough! You need to succeed countless times!" "I don't know what the future holds, but right now, just follow your heart and press forward!" In this moment of triumph, her expectations of herself, her family's hopes, and the responsibility she shoulders all converge. The girl quietly cheers herself on. She's ready to become the best version of herself. The road ahead stretches long and arduous, yet her blazing heart shines brighter than any magic.

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.
