Best Light Cone
Back to All Characters
Yunli and Clara share many similarities inHonkai: Star Rail. They’re both young, have Physical elements, follow the path ofDestruction inHonkai: Star Rail, and have a playstyle that works around Counter. Both characters are also a 5-star unit, which means it’s not easy to get them from the Warp Banners.
Thankfully, when it comes to Yunli’s best Light Cones inHonkai: Star Rail, some available options are easier to get than a 5-star unit. For instance, an F2Pweapon from the Simulated Universe.

This effect can only be triggered once every 3 turn(s).

Due to Yunli’s damage coming from her Counter, Ultimate, and Skill, Yunli won’t be using her Basic Attack to triggerBrighter Than The Sun’s passive.

This effect will be removed after the wearer uses an attack.
It’s a shame that the passive ofJingliu’s signature Light Cone,I Shall Be My Own World, only works if other allies get attacked or lose HP, as it limits its potential for Yunli. Nevertheless, considering many enemies have AoE hits, Yunli can still benefit from the passive occasionally, even when she’s taunting the enemies.
