Highlights
- Version 2.2 of Honkai: Star Rail introduces a new Light Cone for Nihility characters like Acheron.
- Nihility characters in the game focus on debuffing enemies to reduce their capabilities.
- The upcoming Boundless Choreo weapon will enhance CRIT damage against debuffed enemies in version 2.2.
Honkai: Star Rail version 2.2 will allegedly bring a new Light Cone that characters from the Nihility path can use as their primary weapon. Honkai: Star Rail‘s Nihility path offers strategic depth for building rosters, allowing characters to reduce enemies’ capabilities. Units that follow the path of Nihility fit into the debuffer role since their skills apply various debuffs to enemies.
Currently, Honkai: Star Rail features nine distinctive characters following the path of Nihility, including Acheron who recently made her introduction in version 2.1. They serve as damage dealers and enhance their teams’ offensive capabilities. They utilize a range of blessings, which provide increased DoT damage, Break Efficieny, and Break Effect, to take down some intense enemies easily. Overall, characters that follow this path can apply status effects and deal massive damage through DoT.
Honkai: Star Rail Leaks Robin’s Animations
A new Honkai: Star Rail leak showcases combat animations for Robin, a Penacony-based unit that will be released in version 2.2.
A Honkai: Star Rail leak from Dimbreath has revealed a four-star Light Cone that some Nihility-based characters, such as Welt and Acheron, can use to enhance their offensive capabilities. Called Boundless Choreo, this weapon increases the wearer’s CRIT rate up to 16% when upgraded. Using Boundless Choreo, characters can deal 48% more CRIT damage to enemies with defense reduction debuff. The Light Cone’s artwork shows Acheron dancing with Black Swan, which leads many to believe that the upcoming weapon will be suitable for both characters. One thing to note is that it will be available in version 2.2.
The Upcoming Light Cone Could Be a Popular Choice for Nihility Units
Honkai: Star Rail‘s Acheron can benefit from Boundless Choreo, considering it increases her damage against debuffed enemies. The weapon will probably be locked behind a limited-time banner in version 2.2. However, if it’s an event Light Cone, players will be able to get it more easily.
Each Light Cone in Honkai: Star Rail hails from a different path that defines its passive ability. When a character from the same path equips the weapon, they gain access to its unique ability, which usually improves specific stats. For example, Nihility characters like Acheron and Black Swan receive a CRIT damage boost when they use the ”Along the Passing Shore” Light Cone.
Aside from Boundless Choreo, the next major version of Honkai: Star Rail will add another four-star Light Cone, For Tomorrow’s Journey, which follows the Harmony path. The good news is that it will reportedly be free to claim for players. As per its description, For Tomorrow’s Journey increases the wearer’s ATK up to 36%, which makes it a reliable choice for damage dealers from the same path.
