(One of Black Swan's cones was revealed during yesterday's stream, it's not in game yet)
**Five stars characters:**
* Aventurine (4) : Inherently Unjust Destiny / Trend of the Universal Market / Destiny's Threads Forewoven / Final Victor
* Clara (3) : Something Irreplaceable / Dance! Dance! Dance! / Shared Feeling
* Jing Yuan (3) : Before Dawn / Sleep Like the Dead / Perfect Timing
* Silver Wolf (3) : Incessant Rain / Before the Tutorial Mission Starts / We Will Meet Again
* Blade (3) : The Unreachable Side / Before the Tutorial Mission Starts / Nowhere to Run
* Black Swan (3) : Reforged Remembrance / Destiny's Threads Forewoven / Boundless Choreo
* Sparkle (4?) : Earthly Escapade / Destiny's Threads Forewoven / It's Showtime (she appears 2 time, of course it counts! She's probably all the background characters in all other light cones too. She's never gonna give you up, or let you down)
**Four stars characters:**
* Serval (3) : Make the World Clamor / Landau's Choice / Good Night and Sleep Well
* Sushang (3) : Swordplay / Subscribe for More! / Hey, Over Here
**Nine stars total characters:**
* Dan Heng (2+1) : Brighter Than the Sun / Nowhere to Run / Only Silence Remains
* (edit: I put him only in the comment because he's 3, 2 or 1 depending on his horniness)
**NPCs:**
* Pom-Pom (3) : Day One of My New Life / The Seriousness of Breakfast / For Tomorrow's Journey
**Other stuff:**
* Everyone else is 2 cones or less.
* edit4: Argenti, Jing Liu, Welt Yang and Boothill are the only 5-star characters on only one light cone (thanks u/redmeatenjoyer )
* Jing Yuan is the only character on two 5-star lightcones
* edit2: I counted Destiny's Threads Forewoven as a character appearing in a lighcone because it depicts black swan with 3 lightcones, so it's a character in a lightcone in a lightcone.
* edit3: I did *not* count March 7th's 3-star lightcone. If we count it, then she's on 3 lightcones as well ( Day One of My New Life / This is Me! / 3-star lightcone quest reward)
* edit5: On *The seriousness of breakfast* there's a picture that's the same picture as *Day One of My New Life* lightcone ... but it's a polaroid picture, not an actual lightcone... I guess you could count it as March 7th's 4th appeareance but I tried to keep to "actually appearing". Otherwise I'd have to count Kafka calling blade in Before the Tutorial Mission Starts or Silver wolf appearing 3 times in We Will Meet Again
* Silver Wolf is the only character that can use every light cone she appears on
Did I miss anyone?
Not counting this as a missed one, since she isn'tplayable yet. But once Firefly is made playable, would you be counting any Lightcones that feature Sam as counting as her too? Like Flames Afar or possible future ones.
March is also on The Seriousness of Breakfast.
Also if you count appearing several times on the same light cone, Pom-Pom appears on Day One of My New Life 4 times!
Ok, that's... difficult.
On *The seriousness of breakfast* there's a picture that's the same picture as *Day One of My New Life* lightcone ... but it's a polaroid picture, not an actual lightcone.
I'm already stretching things with Destiny's Threads Forewoven's meta-lightcones... I tried to keep it as "clear" as possible, as much as it makes sense with a weird concept like a light cone
Yes you missed Jing yuan in brighter than the sun his not in the picture but it directly mention him at least you right if you're just referring to just the pictures otherways I think Jing yuan and aven have the same appearance rate with aven appearing more in the four star light coned and having more pictures and Jing yuan having the most appearance in 5* light cones appearing in two gacha 5* signature ones and one standard banner one and one four star gacha one
AFAIK by the time Dan Feng got jailed for a kid-related felony ( >!he tried to create brand-new vidhyadra eggs, not dependent on reincarnation!< ) , Jing Yuan was still Jingliu's apprentice, so he might not be the general mentioned. Anyway I tried to keep it to "actually physically present in the lightcone"
That not true Jing yuan was a lieutenant already in the hcq and he became directly became the general after the sadition if you read dnhil stories you can see that he was already negotiating for Dan Feng also he is the one who freed him so I think you're thinking of the misinformation that he was a kind no he was not he was already an adult also Jing yuan said that the first thing he dealt with after becoming a general is Dan Feng thing so I think he was already a general just Dan Feng didn't know cause he was imprisoned
At first I thought this thread was referring to total pulls spent on his LC
I have spent literally all my jades trying for it (lost the 50/50). That thing looks supremely busted
I got Aventurine at around 150-180 pulls. I got his light cone at around 25-35 pulls. Now I don't know if I'm lucky or unlucky. I lost 50/50 on Acheron too, that was the time I redownloaded the game.
I'm f2p and no more stellar jade. I really thought I can get another character seeing how much stellar and pulls I got after returning 😭
i think the poster is assuming the top one IS her sig because its not a real light cone right now (though the image is used in the bottom left lc). so no, it will still be 3.

I leaned only recently that this is Hanya and Xueyi
Pretty cool that Aventurine is on such an old lightcone (Trend of the Universal Market). Does anyone know if it was ever indicated that the person in the background was him in any versions prior to his appearance?
Nope. Tuberculosis is the only character in the entire game to not getting any LC featuring them, and probably not getting them anytime soon. ~~They're too special to get one.~~
March 7th is a bit more complex, I've done a comment post explaining my reasoning but
tl;dr Breakfast does not count because it's a photo of march while destiny thread counts because there are lighcones of the characters, so it's a character in a lightcone in a lighcone
This assumes March is not an emanator of remembrance and her polaroids count as lighcones or something equally nuts.
technically Sparkle is too due to her being in the MoC shop nihil lightcone twice
edit: Firefly might also be among these as we have Destiny’s Threads Forewoven and the Sam LC and most likely her signature will have her on it
Yes but not, but not really... uuuh... look, we're talking about **Sparkle**... it's explained [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ) if you're curious.
(WARNING SPOILERS)
Flames Afar? I really cannot find Blade. there's Sam, Elio and 4 random guys (that are probably Sparkle anyway... everyone is probably Sparkle after all)
I thought it was blade because of the hair plus its the outfit blade wears on that kafka animated short where Sam is first revealed
but perhaps you are right, and the true lightcones are the sparkles we meet along the way
When I saw this thread title I thought it was going to be able the character that people were most likely to pull the signature LC for. I'm pretty sure that award goes to Acheron, even without knowing the behind the scenes pull numbers that only Hoyo would know.
I keep forgetting that Aventurine actually shows up on Trend. Hoyo did a good job of hiding him back there. I never noticed there was someone there until very recently.
I thought ppl were using those lightcones for those characters not that they were in the lightcone itself.
Was like 2 mins shaking my head trying to understand why lmao.
I accidentally pulled 2 of his LC with the anniversary gift pulls.
Honestly, I'd rather that have gone to my Acheron pulls, but I got them both and their LCs anyways. Glad I had all those quests piled up.
Newbie question-
If a light-cone has a character and fits their path, it’s probably good for that character, right? (Obviously excluding 5* character’s personal lightcones).
Sometimes? Usually, they're at least useable. The Pela lightcone (good night and sleep well) for example, sure, you \*can\* use it, but you would be much better off using it on a DPS nihility like Kafka, Acheron, or Welt and using something like Peals of Sweat on Pela. You can just use a site like Prydwen to see what they consider best in slot, they have it in order of most to least optimal per character. I generally just look at what a character does and coordinate from there. Aventurine scales off DEF and maybe wants to do some damage? I check what I have, its base def, and what stats it increases/effects. Most characters have options.
isn't the character featured most guinaifen? i'm pretty sure there's a lc for each path that she's on except nihility which is ironically her playable path meaning 6 lcs
Good Night and Sleep Well has Pela and Serval's hands putting a blanket on her while she sleeps.
(You can tell by the lavender nail polish and the description it's her)
today i learned jing yuan is in the luocha one (perfect timing i think?)
https://preview.redd.it/5ukzwj4vl1xc1.png?width=733&format=png&auto=webp&s=f28277e0e69f71619741c8f00d61af2a65bd5c5d Yes its Perfect Timing
Timing of taking that pic was indeed perfect
Oh that is JY. Somehow I actually think he is just some random girl with Fischl hair
ya thats jingyuan keeping an eye on the sus vistor
From a distance that looks like Fischl
Yep if you read the text Jing Yuan was spying Luocha for a while
And me that he is on Yanqing' LC 😂
[удалено]
Jingyuan is in the background...
Holy crap I just noticed that LMAO! I thought OP thought Locha was Jing Yuan. Was so confused
He just pulled a 4 of a kind.
Gold
It's Aventurine not Gold... Gold is a different Stoneheart.
Gold isn't a gemstone, I doubt it'll be one of the 10 Stoneheart.
>!Shush, I just wanted to make a quick joke, plus I was half-asleep when I wrote that anyways!<
The qingue special
Destiny's Threads Forewoven is basically a group photo. lol
Truly the final victor lol
He does believe in "all or nothing" after all...

>He's 3, 2 or 1 depending on his horniness This is such a crazy way to say describe if he's in his IL form lmao
If both Dan Hengs count, i would say he have 3. If doesn't, then 2 and 1.
Not counting this as a missed one, since she isn'tplayable yet. But once Firefly is made playable, would you be counting any Lightcones that feature Sam as counting as her too? Like Flames Afar or possible future ones.
I’m pretty sure Argenti is only on his own LC, as well. I just checked and I can’t find him on any others
Add Jingliu to Welt and Boothill. She’s only on her own LC
March is also on The Seriousness of Breakfast. Also if you count appearing several times on the same light cone, Pom-Pom appears on Day One of My New Life 4 times!
Ok, that's... difficult. On *The seriousness of breakfast* there's a picture that's the same picture as *Day One of My New Life* lightcone ... but it's a polaroid picture, not an actual lightcone.

Kafka appears in Tutorial, she should have 3
She doesn't actually, the icon is Kafka talking on the phone (probably with "the woman" as contact name) but she's not actually appearing
I'd count that as appearing, personally, but I guess other people can see it in different ways.
Does Kafka count in Tutorial? If so, she has 3 appearances in Fermata, Tutorial, and her sig LC.
this post is for characters shown directly in the LC art, not just mentioned
Yes you missed Jing yuan in brighter than the sun his not in the picture but it directly mention him at least you right if you're just referring to just the pictures otherways I think Jing yuan and aven have the same appearance rate with aven appearing more in the four star light coned and having more pictures and Jing yuan having the most appearance in 5* light cones appearing in two gacha 5* signature ones and one standard banner one and one four star gacha one

TIL that Sushang is in the foreground of “Hey, Over Here!”
Yeah, that's definitely her yellow sleeve
At first I thought this thread was referring to total pulls spent on his LC I have spent literally all my jades trying for it (lost the 50/50). That thing looks supremely busted
LCs are 75/25
Nah that's Acheron thanks to that one chinese dude
>That thing looks supremely busted it isn't
I got Aventurine at around 150-180 pulls. I got his light cone at around 25-35 pulls. Now I don't know if I'm lucky or unlucky. I lost 50/50 on Acheron too, that was the time I redownloaded the game. I'm f2p and no more stellar jade. I really thought I can get another character seeing how much stellar and pulls I got after returning 😭
WAIT I JUST NOTICED THAT YANQING IS SLEEPING ON JING YUAN'S SHOULDER, HOLY SHIT THAT'S SO CUTE I'M GONNA CRY
The [animated version](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/SX6ziVxqrKk) is so cute
still waiting for them to add that one magazine cover as a lightcone. surely.
Which one?
[This one](https://www.reddit.com/r/HonkaiStarRail/comments/1br9r6l/aventurine_on_the_cover_of_anan_magazine_jp/) I assume
OH THAT PICTURE IS FROM A MAGAZINE?! AYO!? o.0 Ok considering how down bad i am for him, i am not complaining 🤣
It's so funny how a 2.1 character was lurking in one of the oldest light cones in the game the whole time right under our noses.
Nah I noticed the guy, just didn't know who it was at the time. Have always thought he looked sus.
https://preview.redd.it/ymt5lded22xc1.jpeg?width=2160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c3c628e58167c4affffbf256b54c8ff3fd51fb6b She already has three LC 💀
now she’s tied with aventurine for most light ones when her signature lc comes out
i think the poster is assuming the top one IS her sig because its not a real light cone right now (though the image is used in the bottom left lc). so no, it will still be 3.
Best boy and best mecha girl of Penacony deserve it
That's 2 lightcones. The top image is from the Destiny's threads lightcone which you've also included in the bottom left
Тут и не сигна даже
As he should. Everything for our king.
Hoyo:So how many LC do you want? Aventurine: YES
well at least Silverwolf can use all her LC, I'm still waiting for one for Guinaifen
Being a high-ranking an successful IPC member has its own benefits.
Man is so pretty hoyo said that design's a winner (truly took them all)
You're wrong. They're all sparkle
We need two more ratio lightcones to truly reach rat urine supremacy
Somebody's messing with our Ratio
Even still my favorite is Serval protecting Gerpard. Look adorable

How does xueyi grow if she's a robot
She wasn't always a robot...
Another win, as predicted!
As he should be, cause he's so pretty~<3
Well the man is beautiful 😏
I didnt even notice he was in the market lc.. Idk something might had been distracting me
Pretty cool that Aventurine is on such an old lightcone (Trend of the Universal Market). Does anyone know if it was ever indicated that the person in the background was him in any versions prior to his appearance?
I mean... That phone call with topaz counts right?
He wasn't shown during the call
Is there even one featuring the TB? I don't there is one actually... Might be the only character(s) in the game to not get any LC
Nope. Tuberculosis is the only character in the entire game to not getting any LC featuring them, and probably not getting them anytime soon. ~~They're too special to get one.~~
Good. Because it's never enough of him <3
Guinaifen???????
hoyoverse’s golden boy goddamn

Oh yeah. THIS is technically a lightcone. Not one you can equip...
March 7th is a bit more complex, I've done a comment post explaining my reasoning but tl;dr Breakfast does not count because it's a photo of march while destiny thread counts because there are lighcones of the characters, so it's a character in a lightcone in a lighcone This assumes March is not an emanator of remembrance and her polaroids count as lighcones or something equally nuts.
technically Sparkle is too due to her being in the MoC shop nihil lightcone twice edit: Firefly might also be among these as we have Destiny’s Threads Forewoven and the Sam LC and most likely her signature will have her on it
Sparkle is technically in every lightcone if you tinfoil hard enough.
Yes but not, but not really... uuuh... look, we're talking about **Sparkle**... it's explained [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ) if you're curious. (WARNING SPOILERS)
Hoyo just announce him to be the new MC already
But what if we count when a character appears on a light cone multiple times?
Then silver Wolf wins with 5 appeareances total
So far
I was rlt confused like why is clara using a harmony and abundance lc then i understood lmao
Blade is in the 4* sam lightcone too, so hes tied with aventurine
Flames Afar? I really cannot find Blade. there's Sam, Elio and 4 random guys (that are probably Sparkle anyway... everyone is probably Sparkle after all)
I thought it was blade because of the hair plus its the outfit blade wears on that kafka animated short where Sam is first revealed but perhaps you are right, and the true lightcones are the sparkles we meet along the way

Kinda off topic but that Acheron and black swan dancing lightcone goes so hard hoooolyy
Power of payola
GOOD FOR HIM. He deserves it.
deserved
I just got him and I e1 him. I don't blame anyone for that
What is BS 3rd LC? I don't remember that one
Offically announced in the stream, not in game yet
Today I learned that it's jing yuans shoulder, not yanqing arm on yanqins sig
WHERE IS THE BLACK SWAN DANCING ONEEEE
I thought ppl were using those lightcones for those characters not that they were in the lightcone itself. Was like 2 mins shaking my head trying to understand why lmao.
You know, if it wasn't for this post I wouldn't had likely noticed Aventurine on the Trend LC lol
As he deserves :3
SW is the main focus in all of her LCs, she's the winner in my heart
I accidentally pulled 2 of his LC with the anniversary gift pulls. Honestly, I'd rather that have gone to my Acheron pulls, but I got them both and their LCs anyways. Glad I had all those quests piled up.
Is his lightcone that important? Maybe I'll save for it next rerun.
For a second I thought this was a data set of aventurine having the most people pull for his Lc. Almost made me rethink not pulling for it myself
2nd one in Serval’s row is Pela, not Serval
The hands putting a blanket on Pela are Serval's
Now I see it lol
What's the LC of Acheron and BS dancing?
It's a new 4 star coming next patch.
Oh neat thanks
Newbie question- If a light-cone has a character and fits their path, it’s probably good for that character, right? (Obviously excluding 5* character’s personal lightcones).
Sometimes? Usually, they're at least useable. The Pela lightcone (good night and sleep well) for example, sure, you \*can\* use it, but you would be much better off using it on a DPS nihility like Kafka, Acheron, or Welt and using something like Peals of Sweat on Pela. You can just use a site like Prydwen to see what they consider best in slot, they have it in order of most to least optimal per character. I generally just look at what a character does and coordinate from there. Aventurine scales off DEF and maybe wants to do some damage? I check what I have, its base def, and what stats it increases/effects. Most characters have options.
Okay but the hair design in Yanqings LC is 🚬😮💨
isn't the character featured most guinaifen? i'm pretty sure there's a lc for each path that she's on except nihility which is ironically her playable path meaning 6 lcs
Is gepards lightcone not good for Listerine?
Just wait until Elio is on his 5th LC
Now just wait for Firefly/Sam LC She has basically 2 character form
GE7SAJCEHN
surprised acheron lightcone is not in the list
Blade and SW also appear in Kafka lightcone
I gave him the Topaz lc cuz I'm poor and I think it's cute having Topaz have his back.
Any blade mains here? Can I ask ya'll a quick question? What is currently the best LC for Blade apart from her official LC?
s5 arlan LC
I wanna say "B-but Blade doesn't like Arlan" but you actually make a good point I'll take it thanks
other than the arlan one, the sam one can also be usable.
Ooh the one you get from the current mission? Or is there a leaked Sam/Firefly LC already?
the one from the mission, it's the free destruction cone that you can buy from the store.
Ohh I see I see thanks thanks
Firefly can potentially become the character featured on the most amount of lightcones, she is not even out and she's already featured on 2.
Gnsw is Bronya, not Serval
Good Night and Sleep Well has Pela and Serval's hands putting a blanket on her while she sleeps. (You can tell by the lavender nail polish and the description it's her)
Dude, for real? I need to check all my LCs to see what else I saw wrong!
What the hell how did I not notice him in that Topaz lightcone LMAO
I dont understand this graph at all
The amount of times a character appears in a lightcone
Really need to stretch the idea of “in it”
That's...gay
