The Finale of a Lie
The Finale of a Lie is a 5★ Light Cone for the Path of The Hunt in Honkai: Star Rail.
This 5-star cone grants solid flat CRIT Rate plus a powerful buff that raises ATK by 40% and increases all enemies' DMG taken by 20%, making it excellent but best suited to Follow-Up ATK focused characters.
Increases the wearer's CRIT Rate by 18%. At the start of battle or for every 4 instance(s) of Follow-Up ATK the wearer uses, the wearer gains "Umbra Devourer," lasting for 3 turn(s). While the wearer holds "Umbra Devourer," increases ATK by 40% and increases the DMG taken by all enemies by 20%. Effects of the same type cannot stack.
"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.
