A recent leak from Honkai: Star Rail is hinting at a brand-new free Light Cone coming to the game, set to be given out as an event reward during an upcoming patch. Light Cones serve as one of the HoYoverse sci-fi RPG’s most influential means of improving a player’s characters, granting powerful stat boosts alongside unique effects. Many of the game’s Light Cones are also catered towards specific characters or playstyles, allowing players to further optimize their favorite units for maximum performance. Now, fans will soon get the chance to pick up a new Light Cone for free.
Honkai: Star Rail‘s Light Cones are typically found through two main methods, both within the gacha and during gameplay. Each new character added to the game comes with a coinciding Light Cone gacha banner, with a five-star Light Cone featured as the banner’s main prize alongside the standard rotation. Some of the game’s major events for its individual updates have also featured Light Cones as rewards, like “Before the Tutorial Mission Starts” and “For Tomorrow’s Journey.” One of Star Rail‘s next updates is now rumored to be adding a new event-exclusive Light Cone.

Honkai: Star Rail Leak Hints at Free Light Cone
A new update shared by prominent Honkai: Star Rail leaker Sakura Haven is hinting at a new event Light Cone coming to Honkai: Star Rail. The post does not share any details about the unique effects of the event Light Cone, though it does confirm the Light Cone will be usable by Erudition characters. The new Light Cone will reportedly be tied to an event coming either during the Version 3.2 or Version 3.3 update. Honkai: Star Rail‘s Version 3.2 is currently expected to release on April 8.
Honkai: Star Rail‘s newest event Light Cone could potentially be looking to arrive alongside one of the game’s next Erudition characters. Version 3.2 is currently expected to welcome Castorice and Anaxa to the playable roster, with the latter joining the game as an Erudition character. The Light Cone will likely serve as an effective “budget” option for players not wanting to shell out to pull Anaxa’s signature Light Cone within Honkai: Star Rail. Version 3.0 also introduced a new Erudition character to the game with the release of The Herta.
The upcoming updates to Honkai: Star Rail are set to significantly expand the game’s playable cast with Amphoreus’ launch. Version 3.1, releasing next week, will bring with it two new characters in Tribbie and Mydei, while HoYoverse has already confirmed the previously-mentioned five-star characters for Version 3.2. Leaks have also hinted at the release windows for several future Amphoreus characters, including Cipher, Hyacine, and Phainon among others. A free event Light Cone should serve as a welcome option for players looking to optimize their characters, both old and new.
