A new free Light Cone has been leaked forHonkai: Star Railand it may make you feel obligated to pull for Anaxa in Version 3.2. The turn-based RPG is currently at the start of Version 3.1, an update that continues the contents introduced with Version 3.0 and brings two new playable characters who had previously been introduced as NPCs: Tribbie and Mydei.There is still a lot of content to explore in Version 3.1, but some attention is shifting toward Version 3.2 thanks to the beta tests, which have revealed information such asCastorice’s materials inHonkai: Star Rail.
The Version 3.2 beta tests are revealing a lot of key details about the upcoming patch.While new characters and reruns tend to shine brightest in the spotlight when it comes to leaks, the leaked information is also bringing attention to new playable content. The Version 3.2 leaks have already shown that players will get access to anew pet inHonkai: Star Rail3.2via a limited-time event, for example. The story quests have not been detailed so far, but there is new content on the way, and proof of that seems to lie with a new Light Cone.
New Light Cone Has Been Leaked For Honkai: Star Rail 3.2
The 4-Star Erudition Weapon May Be A F2P Reward From An Event
According to information provided by the leaker known as Dim,a new free event Light Cone has been seen in Version 3.2’s beta tests, and it may be released during the next patch. The leak was shared in a post tagged as “Reliable” onReddit. As seen in the leak, this is a 4-star Erudition Light Cone, though its name is still unknown. The artwork features Owlbert and Pom-Pom happily conversing over a phone call. Additionally, the leak also mentions that the new Light Cone offers 952 base HP, 476 base ATK, and 330 base DEF inHonkai: Star Rail.
Honkai Star Rail 3.2 Leaks: Character Banner Reruns Actually Make A Lot Of Sense
New leaks about the possible rerun banners in Honkai: Star Rail 3.2 have emerged and the rumored lineup may actually make a lot of sense for the meta.
Aside from its stats and the materials needed to upgrade it, the leak also highlights the Light Cone’s skill. According to the leak, when equipped, this Light Cone increases the user’s ATK by 8% (up to 16% at Superimposition level 5).Furthermore, for every different Weakness Type an enemy opponent has, it will increase the DMG the user deals by 4% (up to 8% at S5), up to a maximum of seven Weakness Types. As such, if players are targeting an enemy with sevenWeaknesses inHonkai: Star Rail, the user will deal 28% more DMG to them (at S1).
At S5, the rumored Light Cone’s DMG increase against enemies with seven Weaknesses should reach a whopping 56%.
Leaked 4-Star Light Cone In Honkai: Star Rail 3.2 May Be F2P Option For Anaxa
The Leaked Weapon’s Ability Meets Anaxa’s Rumored Needs
This specific leaked Light Cone may turn out to be a F2P (free-to-play) option for Anaxa. Currently, now Erudition characters in the game are specialized in applying Weaknesses to enemies to fully exploit this weapon’s rumored ability.There are ways of inflicting new Weaknesses on opponents, such as Silver Wolf’s Skill and Firefly’s Enhanced Skill, but the application through these sources is very limited and it should be difficult to see all seven Weaknesses applied simultaneously. However, the leaks aboutAnaxa’s gameplay kit inHonkai: Star Rail3.2indicate that applying Weaknesses will be the core aspect of their abilities.
I Have A Theory For Why Honkai: Star Rail Fate Collab Character Leaks Seem So Weird
New leaks about the Honkai: Star Rail collab with Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works have emerged and, initially, they may seem strange.
According to the recent leaks about Anaxa’s kit, which stem from the Version 3.2 beta tests, the 5-star Wind character on the Path of the Erudition will be capable of using their Ultimate to inflict all seven currently available Weaknesses on all the enemies on the field.This is unprecedented and if used correctly, Anaxa could become an invaluable member of several teams, enabling the usage of any type of DPS since the enemies will be weak against the damage-dealer’s element. Combined with the effects of the leaked Light Cone inHonkai: Star Rail3.2, Anaxa could become even stronger.
This is because Anaxa is rumored to not only provide support in the form of Weakness debuffs against enemies but also deal damage themselves. With all seven Weaknesses on opponents and abilities that target all enemies on the field,Anaxa could significantly contribute to the team’s damage output, enhanced by the leaked Light Cone’s rumored ability that enhances the user’s damage per Weakness. This leaked Light Cone seems to be tailor-made for Anaxa, even if it is rumored to be an event-exclusive 4-star weapon inHonkai: Star Rail3.2.
Honkai: Star Rail Leaks Show Disheartening Update On Mr. Reca’s Rumored Release
Mr. Reca’s rumored release in Honkai: Star Rail seems to have undergone a disappointing update that could heavily affect the current meta.
By having access to a Light Cone that plays right into Anaxa’s kit, players may not feel pressured into pulling for their signature 5-star Light Cone.With a F2P weapon, they could comfortably use Anaxa’s unique toolkit, which doesn’t work too well with any of the current Erudition Light Cones. This Light Cone, upon release, shouldn’t really serve any other Erudition character, unless Anaxa is in the party to ensure that the Erudition DPS equipping it can exploit the increased DMG per Weakness mechanic. Even so, this rumored Light Cone is most likely dedicated toAnaxa inHonkai: Star Rail.
Other Erudition characters are better off with other Light Cones that work more closely with their own kits since it would make them heavily dependent on Anaxa’s leaked kit.
HoYoverse Has Pushing Limits To Incentivize Banner Pulls In Honkai: Star Rail
Back-To-Back Releases Feel Indispensable
While the news of a F2P Light Cone is extremely positive, especially one that attends to a 5-star character with unique gameplay needs as opposed to forcing players into pulling for a 5-star Light Cone that only works for them, it also seems like an intense push toward a new character. Surely,it’s in developer HoYoverse’s best interests that players pull for their characters as this is the main way the company gathers revenue from the RPG, but this push has been intense over the past few patches, starting with The Herta andAglaea inHonkai: Star Rail.
Honkai: Star Rail’s Amphoreus Leaks Say Character’s True Form May Not Be Playable, But An Upcoming Boss
New Honkai: Star Rail leaks have allegedly showcased the true form of an Amphoreus character, which may become a boss to face in the campaign.
Both characters introduced with Version 3.0 brought forth nearly indispensable kits, with Aglaea easily becoming one of the strongest DPS units so far. Her frailness is compensated for with a huge amount of SPD and damage output – and she converts SPD into more damage output, too. Version 3.1 introduced Tribbie, a new 5-star Harmony character who can operate as a support capable of increasing the team’s RES PEN and contributing to the team’s damage. In Phase 2, players will also gain access to the banner forMydei inHonkai: Star Rail, an anticipated HP loss DPS character.
So far, all these characters have felt like must-pulls, but given the game’s limitations on free Stellar Jade, most of us have been forced to make difficult choices and only pull for some of them.Things may get worse with Version 3.2, as both Anaxa and Castorice are building up to be indispensable characters based on their leaked kits. Anaxa’s Weakness application feels like an unskippable game-changer, while Castorice’s kit should provide an insane amount of damage based on her rumored HP drain mechanic – which combined with Tribbie and Mydei’s large HP pools, could be destructive.
Honkai: Star Rail - Best Tribbie Builds (Light Cones, Relics, Team Comps)
Optimizing Tribbie’s build in Honkai: Star Rail can make her more effective as a support unit or secondary damage dealer in team comps.
To make matters worse, specifically with Castorice, a certain leak about her abilities makes her feel even more unskippable. According to the leaked information about Version 3.2,Castorice’s off-field revival mechanic inHonkai: Star Railcould forever change the game, as she seemingly isn’t required to be in the team comp to restore a character back to health.
Overall, these extremely powerful abilities, especially compared with past releases, seem to indicate that HoYoverse is trying to push its character pulls up more than ever, putting indispensable characters in back-to-back banners and even providing solutions to make them more appealing, such as a global revival effect that could break the game and even a F2P Light Cone to supplement the lack of more options inHonkai: Star Rail.
