Honkai Star Rail 4.0 Yao Guang Signature Light Cone Revealed

The Honkai Star Rail 4.0 Closed Beta test gives players an idea of Yao Guang’s trademark Light Cone. According to the source, Hakushin, the title When She Decided To See has been identified as a 5-star Light Cone reserved exclusively for characters who follow the Elation Path.

As is the case for the other Light Cones in the Honkai Star Rail, this particular item does come with flat stat increases, in addition to another skill that is universally useful to any lead Elation character. Fully upgraded to level eighty, it is said to provide 529 in attack power, 1058 in HP, as well as another 529 in defensive efficacy.

The fact that the leaked information for the Honkai Star Rail 4.0 Yao Guang signature light cone reveals that it could play well for players wishing to synergize Elation suggests that it might work well as sub-DPS or main DPS. This is much like the use of other Light Cones for Phainon or Lingsha. The passive abilities give it some versatility so that even if Yao Guang isn’t the main DPS, the item will still be somewhat useful.

Yao Guang Ascension Materials Leaked

The list of items needed to ascend was also released. It appears to be trace items, regular enemy drop items, and craftable parts. Below are the items players will need:

• Credit – 385,000
• The Fluffy Collector’s Edition - 15x
• The Fluffy Serialization Memorial Issue - 12x
• The Fluffy Hand-Drawn Storyboard – 4
• Lucid Awl – 14x
• Dreamweave Steel – 20x
• Whimsy Wax – 20x

The Trace items, Collector’s Edition, Memorial Issue, and Hand-Drawn Storyboard, are intended solely for Elation characters. Farming them is likely impossible until the release of the official update of Honkai Star Rail 4.0. Under normal circumstances, Trace items can be found in Elation Crimson Calyx, but their exact spawn points aren’t yet known.

Finding the more common drops, such as Lucid Awl, Dreamweave Steel, and Whimsy Wax, can be obtained by defeating normal enemies, for example, the Imagenae line. More Rare variations can and should be created by the Omni Synthesizer, as the Light Cones can.

Strategic Overview

The leaked Yao Guang signature light cone from Honkai Star Rail 4.0 is a mix of offense and defense. The flat stat boost lets characters take more hits while also dishing out decent Elation-based damage. It seems to be more balanced compared to older 5-star Light Cones. The passive effect plus the Trace material suggests that it will shine more in teams with multiple Elation characters.

For players who want to maximize rewards or gather items early, news like How to Unlock Honkai Star Rail 3.8 Twitch Drops can be useful in understanding how seasonal or special content ties into Light Cone progression and item farming.

Farming Notes

They can also expect farming and events on the Trace items relative to their characters being Elation. The content on the drop of Lucid Awl, Dreamweave Steel, and Whimsy Wax maintains the same rhythm as before, focusing on defeating enemies, procuring resources, and synthesizing higher-tier resources through the Omni Synthesizer.

For those looking to anticipate new content and drops, sources like Honkai Star Rail 4.0 drip marketing reveals Sparxie provide early hints about upcoming characters and farming priorities, helping players plan efficiently.

Comparison With Older Light Cones

Compared with the previous signature Light Cones, this leak of Honkai Star Rail 4.0 Yao Guang's signature light cone seems focused on balanced utility rather than over-specializing in any particular stat. Older Light Cones used to give either super massive ATK or DEF, and usually had no flexibility. This one is looking more versatile.

Players who used older Elation-focused Light Cones will likely notice that this one opens up more options for teams, particularly in multi-enemy fights or protracted combat. The Punchline synergy might make an appreciable difference to how Elation Path characters perform in 4.0.
