Rather than weapons, Honkai: Star Rail gives its characters Light Cones, which are memories that boost the HP, Attack, and Defense Stats of every character. They also provide abilities for characters on certain paths. Five-star Light Cones will naturally provide the biggest boost to character stats, as they are rarer than most. I highly recommend you wait to Superimpose any Five-Star Light Cones you can, just in case more than one character can use them.
Want to know what the best Light Cones are for each Path? We've got you covered. Here are the best ones in Honkai: Star Rail.
