Some new Honkai: Star Rail 2.6 leaks about specific Light Cones are making me particularly excited about the game’s future. The popular turn-based RPG by HoYoverse is about to enter Version 2.5, a new patch focused on the story arc taking place on the Xianzhou Luofu as the Alliance celebrates the Wardance Festival and deals with the escape of a notorious prisoner from the Shackling Prison. The release of Honkai: Star Rail 2.5 will also bring forth three new playable characters: Feixiao, Moze, and Lingsha. These new units should improve the overall state of team comps focused on follow-up attacks.
While players’ attention is shifting toward the arrival of Version 2.5, there are already leaks about several upcoming patches to the game. Most of these rumors tend to focus on future playable characters, such as Tingyun’s new form and the new Herta form in Honkai: Star Rail. There are, however, leaks about other pieces of content, and it seems like Version 2.6 will receive a fantastic update that should make inconsistent and new players not feel too left out on the game’s previous limited-time content, namely the acquisition of Light Cones from previous events.
Honkai: Star Rail 2.6 May Add Event Light Cones In Herta’s Shop
Three Light Cones Are Cited In The Leak
According to information provided by an unknown leaker, which was shared in a post tagged as “Reliable” on Reddit, Light Cones that were only obtainable from limited-time events in the past may make a comeback in Herta’s Shop as early as Version 2.6. The leaked image showcases the Before the Tutorial Mission, the Hey, Over Here, and the For Tomorrow’s Journey 4-star Light Cones and their respective Superimposition materials. Each Light Cone will allegedly cost four Herta Bonds, with each copy of the Superimposition materials costing one Herta Bonds in Honkai: Star Rail 2.6.
For reference, Lil’ Twisty Bubble Gum is Before the Tutorial Mission Starts’ Superimposition, while Exorcismal Fulu and Clockwork Inspiration Notebook are Hey, Over Here and For Tomorrow’s Journey’s materials, respectively.
Rumored Return Of Event Light Cones Is Great News For Honkai: Star Rail Players
New Players Or Those Who Missed Out On The Events May Get A Chance To Obtain The 4-Star Weapons
The rumored return of Light Cones which were previously only obtainable via limited-time events is great news for players, old and new. Those who missed out on the events during their runs, for any reason whatsoever, may be able to acquire them and equip them on their characters. The same can be said for newer players who started after the events occurred in the first place, giving them a chance to have the main reward from those older events in Honkai: Star Rail.
Before the Tutorial Mission Starts, for instance, is one of the best Light Cones for Silver Wolf and Pela, especially if players don’t have Silver Wolf’s signature weapon. Hey, Over Here is a great Light Cone for HP-based healers, like Huohuo. Lastly, For Tomorrow’s Journey is a superb choice for Robin and Yukong. Even though I haven’t missed any of them so far, the idea of possibly missing out on one and then acquiring it in the future comforts me immensely.
The leak should be considered with caution, as it may be incorrect, subject to change, or even postponed. However, these are worthwhile Light Cones for several characters, so if the leak is accurate, players may get a chance at getting them, and I’m thrilled about the prospect of not having to necessarily grind through every single patch in Honkai: Star Rail.
