Rappa, the new 5-star Erudition character, is releasing in Honkai Star Rail 2.6, and her kit is Break DPS focused. She is an AoE Break DPS and can deal Toughness Damage from multiple sources regardless of enemy weakness type. Her best build sadly doesn’t have many great Light Cone options, as she is a Break Effect-focused character. Nevertheless, here are the top 5 best Light Cones for Rappa in Honkai Star Rail that you can still use on her.
5. Geniuses’ Repose
Geniuses’ Repose is one of the best Erudition Light Cones in Honkai Star Rail, but it is not the best option for Rappa. This Light Cone increases the wearer’s Attack by 16%, and after defeating an enemy, it increases the Crit Damage by 24% for 3 turns. This Light Cone is good for other Erudition DPS units but for Rappa, only the 16% Attack increase is useful. Although she can always use the extra Crit Damage, Rappa’s best build will always prioritize a Break build instead.
4. The Day the Cosmos Fell (S5)
The Day the Cosmos Fell is one of the better Light Cone options for Rappa. At S5. It increases the wearer’s Attack by 24% and increases the wearer’s Crit Damage by 40% when hitting at least two enemies with the corresponding weakness. However, as Rappa is a Break DPS, this Light Cone is still weak for her compared to her best options. A Crit build can get the best out of this Light Cone, and it’s still a good option if you don’t have the others mentioned on this list. You can easily get this Light Cone to S5 by purchasing it from the Light Cone Manifest store.
3. The Seriousness of Breakfast (S5)
The Seriousness of Breakfast has remained one of the best F2P Light Cones for Erudition characters. This Light Cone is also effective with Rappa as it directly increases the Damage dealt and Attack of the wearer. At S5, this Light Cone can increase the wearer’s Damage by 24%, and for every enemy defeated by the wearer, increases an additional 8% of Attack (max 3 stacks). Getting this Light Cone to the S5 is very easy as you can purchase it from the Light Cone manifest store.
2. After the Charmony Fall
After the Charmony Fall is the best 4-star Light Cone option for Rappa. It is the only 4-star Erudition Light Cone at the moment that increases Break Effect, making it the best option for Rappa’s kit. This Light Cone increases the wearer’s Break Effect by 28% and after using Ultimate, it additionally increases the wearer’s Speed by 8% for 2 turns. As her kit is based on using her Ultimate early to enter the Sealform State, both the effects of this Light Cone are quite effective on her.
1. Ninjutsu Inscription: Dazzling Evilbreaker
Ninjutsu Inscription: Dazzling Evilbreaker is the Signature Light cone of Rappa and it increases the Break Effect by 60%. This is the only other Break Effect Light Cone for Erudition characters, making it the undisputed best option for Rappa, but not a great pick for other Erudition characters in your roster. This Light Cone also regenerates 30 Energy after entering battle, allowing Rappa to enter the Sealform state from the get-go. Other than that, when the wearer uses 2 Basic Attacks after using an Ultimate, their action is forwarded by 50%. This Light Cone is a great option for Rappa, but might not be the best pick for other characters at the moment.
