Best 5-star Acheron Light Cone in Honkai Star Rail

Along the Passing Shore

ATK	HP	DEF
635	1058	396

Acheron’s signature Light Cone in Honkai Star Rail, Along the Passing Shore, is her best option in the 5-star department. It has a powerful passive consisting of a flat 36% CRIT DMG boost for the wearer.

Whenever the character hits an enemy, the Light Cone inflicts Empty Bubbles on the target, which lasts for a single turn. The status effect enables the wielder to deal 24% more DMG to the afflicted target. It further increases the unit’s Ultimate DMG by 24%.

All of these buffs will help Acheron shine as a hypercarry DPS.

The Starlight Exchange Store in Honkai Star Rail features quite a few strong Light Cones, including In the Name of the World, the signature option for Welt that can also benefit Acheron.

The passive increases the equipping character’s DMG to debuffed enemies by 24%. In addition, the wearer obtains an 18% Effect Hit Rate and 24% ATK after launching their Skill.

Acheron should easily utilize the first segment of the passive, although the other effects could be a little tricky to activate.

ATK	HP	DEF
476	952	330

The Acheron Light Cone guide is incomplete without some powerful 4-star options. Among them, Good Night and Sleep Well should be your top priorities.

This LC boosts the wearer's DMG dealt by 12% on a target for every debuff they are afflicted with. The effect applies to DoT and stacks three times, which sums up to a 36% DMG boost.

Now all you have to do is superimpose Good Night and Sleep Well to max level, and you have yourself a powerful Acheron build in Honkai Star Rail. Besides, the character will be paired a lot with Pela, Silver Wolf, and other debuffers, so activating the passive effect should be easy.

One of the newest 4-stars in the Light Cone Manifest store, It’s Showtime, is also a solid option for an accessible Acheron build. It generates a stack of Trick every time the wielder inflicts a debuff, something the 5-star character is capable of doing during combat.

The effect stacks up three times, increasing the wearer’s DMG by 6%. The Light Cone also increases the equipper’s ATK by 20% only if their Effect Hit Rate is 80% or higher.

Best 3-star Acheron Light Cone in Honkai Star Rail

Unfortunately, the Nihility Path does not have any good 3-star Light Cones to use on a DPS character.

However, a new player in Honkai Star Rail can not go wrong with the Loop LC on Acheron. It has a neutral passive that increases the wearer’s DMG to slowed enemies.
