Scent Alone Stays True
Scent Alone Stays True is a 5★ Light Cone for the Path of Abundance in Honkai: Star Rail.
This 5-star cone grants a huge 60% Break Effect boost and, after using the Ultimate, applies a team-wide DMG-taken increase debuff, making it excellent for Break-focused wielders though it is somewhat niche since it needs high Break Effect to reach its full potential.
Increases the wearer's Break Effect by 60%. After the wearer uses Ultimate to attack enemy targets, inflicts the targets with the "Woefree" state, lasting for 2 turn(s). While in "Woefree," enemy targets take 10% increased DMG. The effect of increasing DMG taken is additionally boosted by 8% if the wearer's current Break Effect is 150% or higher.
"First, overhaul the department's work habits." "Then, strictly implement rewards and penalties." "Of course, the most important part is figuring out everyone's tangled web of personal interests as soon as possible..." Though she was originally here to admire the scenery, her mind had unknowingly drifted toward work, with stress and trouble naturally following. She hurriedly ignites the soothing incense she always carried with her. "The world is so beautiful, yet I am so irritable... Best not to think of such miserable matters while on vacation..."
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.
