Ashveil E1 v S1 in Honkai Star Rail: Which One Should You Pull?

Ashveil is the latest 5-star Lightning Hunt Path character, who recently made his debut in 4.1v of Honkai Star Rail. He is a single-target specialized DPS who can deal devastating Lightning damage. Due to his unique gameplay mechanics, he can use follow-up attacks, which can deal further damage, making him a S-Tier character if utilised properly.

So players who are interested in his kit might invest more of their Stellar Jades to secure a copy of the character rather than getting the correct signature Light Cone to unlock Ashveil's further potential. In this guide, we will compare and figure out which is more useful as an investment for Ashveil: his Eidolon 1 or his signature Light Cone at S1. Let's find out more about Honkai Star Rail Ashveil Light Cones and kit details.

Ashveil S1 v E1 in HSR 4.1: Who Should You Pull

Ashveil's S1 Signature Light Cone in Honkai Star Rail

• Base HP: 846
• Base ATK: 635
• Base DEF: 529

Light Cone Effect (S1)

This Light Cone boosts the user's CRIT Rate by 18%, which greatly impacts Ashveil's Crit status. When the user starts a fight or every 4 instances of follow-up attacks the user uses, they will gain the Umbral Devourer effect, which will last for 3 turns. While having this effect, their ATK will be boosted by 40%, and the upcoming damage taken by the enemies will be boosted by 20%, which is massive.

The same effect cannot stack together. The signature Light Cone provides massive buff and utility to the user, in this case, to Ashveil. Seems like the most obvious choice to go with the Light Cone, but let's not decide that before checking out his Eidolon 1. Additionally, go through our detailed Honkai Star Rail Ashveil Build Guide before making any decision with your pulls.

Ashveil E1 in Honkai Star Rail

The only way you can unlock an Eidolon for a character is by securing a copy of the character, and once you do that, the base kit of the character gets a direct upgrade. Ashveil's E1 lets his targets take 24% more damage when he is on-field, and when a target's current HP is 50% or lower, then the damage they receive will be boosted to 36%.

This is a very good buff, but when comparing it with the S1 of his Signature Light Cone, Honkai Star Rail Ashveil Light Cones stand out as a clear option. Make sure to go through our Honkai Star Rail Tier List to find out where Ashveil stands in the current HSR meta.

Ashveil's E1 v S1: Which one should you go for?

After comparing the available data, we would advise the players to get the S1 Signature Light Cone over E1 Ashveil. The kit buff when you pair him with his Light Cone is way better than his Eidolon 1. But if you are planning to get his Eidolon as well, make sure you prioritize his Signature Light Cone. But before making any move, visit our comprehensive HSR Ashveil Pre-Farm Guide to utilise him better.
