Honkai: Star Rail Leak Details Firefly's Signature Light Cone (2024)

A new leak from Honkai: Star Rail is detailing the signature Light Cone for upcoming five-star character Firefly, expected to release during Version 2.3. Honkai: Star Rail's Light Cones serve as one of the most effective ways of powering up a player's character, offering major stat boosts and unique effects. Each new character added to the sci-fi RPG typically comes with their own unique Light Cone for players to acquire, granting buffs catered to that character's abilities and strengths. Now, one of the game's upcoming characters is seeing their Light Cone surface early.

First appearing during the main story of Penacony, Firefly serves as one of Honkai: Star Rail's most highly-anticipated characters. She plays a major role throughout the story of Honkai: Star Rail's newest world, also serving as the centerpiece of one of Penacony's biggest plot twists. While fans have long speculated about her debut within Star Rail's roster, HoYoverse recently officially confirmed her release for Version 2.3 alongside fellow five-star character Jade. Now, details about Firefly's signature Light Cone have emerged ahead of her debut.

A recent leak shared by prominent HoYoverse leaker Dim has revealed the details for Firefly's signature Light Cone with Honkai: Star Rail. The Light Cone, named "Whereabouts Should Dreams Rest," is a Destruction Light Cone providing 846 HP, 635 ATK, and 529 DEF. The unique effect of Firefly's Light Cone, dubbed "Metamorphosis," gives a massive 60% boost to Break Effect, while increasing the damage an enemy receives and reducing their Speed after their Weakness is broken. Firefly and her signature Light Cone are expected to launch during the first half of Version 2.3, releasing on June 18.

Honkai: Star Rail Leak Teases Firefly's Light Cone

"Whereabouts Should Dreams Rest"

• 846 HP
• 635 ATK
• 529 DEF
• Unique Effect, "Metamorphosis": Increases the wearer's Break Effect by 60% (100%). When the wearer deals Break DMG to an enemy, inflicts the enemy with Crushed, lasting for 2 turn(s). Crushed enemies' received DMG increases by 15% (25%) and SPD decreases by 15%. Effects of the same type cannot stack.

Firefly's leaked Light Cone comes as previous information has already started to hint at how she will play within Honkai: Star Rail. A past leak related to Firefly's kit suggests that Firefly's Normal Attack will deal AoE damage, while her overworld Technique will provide her with temporary invulnerability before attacking an enemy. Fewer details have been given about her combat abilities with Version 2.3's beta yet to release, though it is expected she will play a damage-oriented role in Honkai: Star Rail teams.

Firefly will join Honkai: Star Rail's roster as one of two new characters confirmed to debut in Version 2.3. The second half of the update is expected to welcome Jade as a new five-star Quantum element character in the Erudition Path. Jade is expected to focus heavily around buffing allies and dealing heavy AoE damage, with previous leaks about Jade's kit suggesting she will feature several ways to perform follow-up attacks. Firefly and Jade look to bring a pair of powerful characters to Honkai: Star Rail's roster with their impending launch in Version 2.3.
