Those Many Springs

For the Path of: Nihility Tier S

Those Many Springs is a 5★ Light Cone for the Path of Nihility in Honkai: Star Rail.

A powerful 5-star cone for DoT/debuff teams thanks to +60% Effect Hit Rate and a high-chance Unarmored debuff granting 10% increased DMG taken, but its full value depends on pairing with DoT-inflicting characters, limiting its universality.

Effect
✦ Worldly Affairs Leave No Mark
Superimposition

Increases the wearer's Effect Hit Rate by 60%. After the wearer uses Basic ATK, Skill, or Ultimate to attack an enemy target, there is a 60% base chance to inflict "Unarmored" on the target. While in the Unarmored state, the enemy target receives 10% increased DMG, lasting for 2 turn(s). If the target is under a DoT state inflicted by the wearer, there is a 60% base chance to upgrade the "Unarmored" state inflicted by the wearer to the "Cornered" state, which additionally increases the DMG the enemy target receives by 14%, lasting for 2 turn(s). During this period, the wearer cannot inflict "Unarmored" on the target.

Story

After a few sudden drizzles, spring tides rise, birthing lush greenery. "How many springs has it been?" He recalls those young soldiers heading to the battlefield for the first time. Year after year, the faces were all different, yet they radiated the exact same vigor and hope. The willow withers as it waits for their return. But what they manage to bring home is often... the frost that can never melt. Birds' warbles linger in the air as he closes his eyes, allowing sunlight to fall on his face through the gaps between the leaves. —"Alas, those who remain are the loneliest of all."

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.
