HoYoverse has clearly taken player feedback to heart with the Version 3.4 Nameless Honor Battle Pass in Honkai: Star Rail. In the past, some Battle Pass Light Cones felt lackluster, leaving players wanting more bang for their buck. This time, HoYoverse has stepped up their game, delivering eight new 4-star Light Cones that are not only powerful but also tailored to the current meta and future-proof for upcoming characters. Overview of the 8 New Light Cones in Nameless Honor (Version 3.4)

You can pick these Light Cones from the Treasure of the Starry Seas at Nameless Honor level 30. All effects are listed at Superimposition Level 1 (S1).

Journey, Forever Peaceful (Preservation)

Light Cone Journey Forever Peaceful Artwork

Boosts the wearer’s Shield Effect by 12%. Allies with a shield get a 12% DMG boost. This one’s a game-changer for shielders, pumping up their shields and giving the whole team a damage kick when shielded. It’s like Zhongli’s shield from Genshin Impact but with a team damage bonus.

  • Best Characters: Fire Trailblazer makes their shields tougher and boosts team damage, perfect for shield-heavy squads. Gepard’s tanky shields get even better, and the damage buff helps his team hit harder. March 7th (Preservation)’s shields get a nice upgrade, and the damage boost works great for her playstyle. Aventurine’s shields also benefit, making him a strong future option.
  • Future Potential: With only a few Preservation characters out there, this is a solid pick for future shielders like Aventurine or DPS Preservation units.

Unto Tomorrow’s Morrow (Abundance)

Ups the wearer’s Outgoing Healing by 12%. Allies with HP ≥50% deal 12% more DMG. This Light Cone makes your healer better at keeping folks alive and gives a damage boost to allies who aren’t half-dead. It’s more flexible than Warmth Shortens Cold Nights, which is all about HP and team healing.

  • Best Characters: Luocha’s ATK-scaling heals get a boost, and the damage buff helps allies in tanky teams. Natasha’s healing gets stronger, and the damage boost is nice for high-HP squads. Gallagher’s healing and debuff kit pairs well with the damage buff for healthy allies.
  • Future Potential: Works for any Abundance character in teams that stay topped up, but it’s not great for low-HP units like Blade or Jingliu.
  • Notes: Good for teams that keep HP high, like those with Phainon or Archer as DPS. Its priority is lower compared to Quid Pro Quo for Energy Recharge or Dream’s Montage for Speed.

See You at the End (Hunt)

Light Cone See You At The End Artwork

Boosts CRIT DMG by 12% and increases Skill DMG and Follow-up Attack DMG by 24%. A beefy Light Cone for Hunt characters who love follow-up attacks or spam Skills. It’s better than Return to Darkness for raw damage but not ideal for Hunt units without follow-ups.

  • Best Characters: Feixiao’s follow-up attack focus makes this a perfect fit for her big damage numbers. Topaz & Numby’s follow-up attacks are their bread and butter, so this Light Cone slaps for them. Dr. Ratio’s follow-ups and Skill usage get a nice boost from this. Archer, a new Quantum Hunt character from the Fate collaboration, can use this for his Skill-heavy kit.
  • Future Potential: Not many Hunt characters have follow-ups yet, but new ones like Archer in 3.4 could make this shine.
  • Notes: Skip it for Hunt characters like Seele or Dan Heng, who don’t do follow-ups.

Holiday Thermae Escapade (Nihility)

Light Cone Holiday Thermae Escapade Artwork

Increases DMG dealt by 16%. After attacking, 100% chance to slap Vulnerability on the target, making them take 10% more DMG for 2 turns; similar effects don’t stack. A solid pick for Nihility characters, boosting their damage and making enemies softer for the whole team. It’s more accessible and team-focused than We Will Meet Again, which deals random damage.

  • Best Characters: Silver Wolf’s debuff-heavy kit (like Weakness Implant) pairs well with the damage boost and Vulnerability debuff, especially with her 3.4 Novaflare buffs. Pela’s AoE debuffs make this a solid pick for her damage output. Welt’s debuff spam benefits from the extra damage and debuff. Kafka’s DoT playstyle gets a boost from the Vulnerability debuff.
  • Future Potential: Universally applicable to Nihility characters, making it a strong choice for current and future units.
  • Notes: Great for any Nihility character, as the Vulnerability debuff helps the whole team. It’s stronger than Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat due to its longer debuff duration.

A Dream Scented in Wheat (Erudition)

Light Cone A Dream Scented In Wheat Artwork

Increases CRIT Rate by 12% and boosts Ultimate DMG and Follow-up Attack DMG by 24%. A strong alternative to Today Is Another Peaceful Day, but it’s picky since it only boosts Ultimates and follow-ups. Some Erudition characters don’t fit the bill.

  • Best Characters: Herta’s follow-up attack spam makes this a great pick, especially for farming. Jade’s follow-ups are her thing, so this Light Cone pumps her damage. Jing Yuan’s follow-up attacks benefit from this, especially with his high Ultimate Energy cost. Himeko gets a boost for her Ultimate, but follow-ups aren’t her focus. Qingque at E4 can leverage follow-ups, but it’s not her main focus.
  • Future Potential: Good for Erudition characters with follow-ups, with room to grow for future units.
  • Notes: Not great for Qingque (without E4) or Argenti, who don’t rely on follow-ups. Compared to Today Is Another Peaceful Day, it’s less versatile for all-purpose damage, so it’s not a top pick for new Erudition characters.

A Trail of Bygone Blood (Destruction)

Light Cone A Trail Of Bygone Blood Artwork

Increases the wearer’s CRIT Rate by 12%. Their damage dealt by Skill and Ultimate is boosted by 24%. A versatile Light Cone that boosts crit and enhances Skill and Ultimate damage, making it great for most Destruction characters who rely on these abilities.

  • Best Characters: Blade’s high-damage Skills and Ultimate benefit from the crit and damage boost. Clara’s Skill and counterattack-focused kit pairs well with the damage increase. Phainon, a new Physical Destruction DPS in 3.4, loves this for his Skill and Ultimate-heavy playstyle. Saber, a Wind Destruction character from the Fate collaboration, also benefits from this for her Skill and Ultimate damage.
  • Notes: Works for most Destruction DPS characters, especially those who use Skills and Ultimates a lot. It’s a great alternative if you don’t pull for limited-time DPS Light Cones.

The Flower Remembers (Remembrance)

Light Cone The Flower Remembers Artwork

Increases the wearer’s CRIT DMG by 24%. The CRIT DMG dealt by the wearer’s memosprite is also enhanced by 24%. A fantastic Light Cone for Remembrance characters, boosting their crit damage and their memosprite’s damage, which is key for the Path’s playstyle.

  • Best Characters: Hyacine’s memosprite, Little Ica, can hit 100% CRIT Rate with the right build, making this Light Cone a better choice than Sweat Now, Cry Less for her. Aglaea, a new Remembrance character, benefits from the crit boost for her and her memosprite.
  • Future Potential: With few Remembrance characters currently, this Light Cone is future-proof for new units like those in Version 3.4 and beyond.
  • Notes: Amazing for Remembrance characters who rely on crit stats, but less useful if you don’t have Hyacine or Aglaea. It’s a top pick for Remembrance DPS builds.

In Pursuit of the Wind (Harmony)

Light Cone In Pursuit Of The Wind Artwork

After entering battle, all allies deal 16% more Break DMG. Abilities of the same type cannot stack. A beast of a Harmony Light Cone that gives the whole team a rare Break DMG boost, perfect for Break-focused teams.

  • Best Characters: Harmony Trailblazer’s Break-focused kit makes this a no-brainer for them. Ruan Mei’s Break Effect buffs make this Light Cone a match made in heaven. Fugue’s E4 has a similar Break DMG boost, so this stacks nicely.
  • Future Potential: Perfect for Break-heavy teams with Firefly or Boothill, and it’ll stay relevant for future Break-focused units.
  • Notes: A must for Weakness Break teams, but less useful if you’re not into Break strategies. Compare to Carve the Moon, Weave the Clouds for ATK or CRIT DMG buffs if Break isn’t your focus.

Recommendations and Final Notes

  • Top Choice: In Pursuit of the Wind (Harmony) is the way to go for most players. That Break DMG boost is a rare gem, perfect for Break teams with Ruan Mei or Firefly, which crush endgame content.
  • Team Matters: Pick based on your characters. If you don’t have strong Harmony or Preservation units, Holiday Thermae Escapade or A Trail of Bygone Blood are safer bets.
  • Future-Proofing: Journey, Forever Peaceful, The Flower Remembers, and In Pursuit of the Wind will stay relevant for new shielders, Remembrance characters, and Break-focused units.
  • Superimposition: You can level these Light Cones up with Superimposition by buying Nameless Glory multiple times (e.g., See You at the End’s CRIT DMG goes from 12% to 24% at S5). Plan ahead if you’re a regular Battle Pass buyer. It takes five versions (up to 3.8) to fully stack a Light Cone, so your initial choice matters.
