600 STARLIGHT! Summons or Light Cone?! (Honkai Star Rail)

Today in Honkai Star Rail we've accumulated 600 Undying Starlight and deciding on if we'll buy summons or a 5-star Light Cone, and also which one.

Don't sleep in that extra HP and DEF, because Tingyun is super squishy.

I think 5* LC's are worth if you can buy them to the characters they were made for.

[Silver-Arm]

At this point of the game I value limited 5* characters much more than 5* lightcones, so I'm getting summons to get closer to them.
I'll probably start saving for lightcones in the future

[Treeko]

Dance x3 is really good because unlike speed increases, the action advance % can give you a ton more actions

[nugguht]

for me, ive always been fine with using 4 star weapons/lightcones. theyve always been sometimes better than the 5 star lightcones too, imo.

[distritochristianangeloa.]

LC will always be the best option but you ONLY get the pulls if you are near pity guarantee to get the feature limited 5star banner. Also the Advance forward of Dance! Dance! Dance! passive is Very Broken like Forgotten hall you get a extra turn without changing the cycle. It is a very crucial passive of getting 3 star in forgotten hall

I think putting pulls towards another character is very important, but unlike with the Light Cones limited characters are guaranteed at some point. You may never get the five star LC you want just pulling occasionally on the standard banner. In my pulls on standard I’ve gotten Bailu’s LC twice, and I don’t have a Bailu. That could have been any character or any LC, which is why if you want something in specific buying it from the shop is better than waiting on getting lucky.

Increased Damage Is different from "More Damage", More damage is applied after every other buff so it would be the total calculation of %attack and Increased damage and then you add more damage, at least that is the way it generally is in most games, and that would make it the biggest multiplier in the game, making bronya's lightcone insane.

[kansouse]

Lightcones are more worth than buying wishes because from 600 you will only get 30 wishes and buying a lightcone is considered ~80 wishes as per the banner. Which also calculates that you need 1600 of those to get 80 wishes whereas you can buy 2 lightcones and eventually use your wishes to get more lightcones in the permanent banner or lightcone one.

[jeannedark]

Honestly I think its 100% depends on what you, I mean if you dont have a decent light cone and one of the shop ones would be that big of a boost, its better for that, but on the other hand if you dont need any of them summons are just too good

[justinedzard]

The thing is, I've already gotten like 4 5-star light cones (excluding SU's LC), so I'd rather use the starlights to get more characters

[rhezer]

It's 120 pulls on average to pull a limited 5*, so 30 pulls would be 1/4 of a 5* and 3 eidolones for your 4*

[midnightscara]

Personally i would use it for lightcones bc it’s a guaranteed upgrade rather than gamba, although you can argue you get pity, i find that you actually get a bunch of wishes just playing the game

[malsawmzela]

I'm definitely going for 30 pulls. Yes 5* cone is great, but there are good 4* substitutes. And you might accidentally pull the 5* cones later too. I currently have two of Clara's cone i have no use for, for example.

30 pulls is such a huge value. And with the starlight we'd get back from those summons, maybe it's like a 35 pull in total?

[KuraiKodoku]

I will hoard the Starlight and wait and see which 5* Light Cones I get from standard banner. Yes more pulls seem better but unless you are lucky in your pulls, 30 pulls don't get you a 5* Light Cone.

It's anyone's choice if they want to beef up their favorite unit or go for extra pulls for a limited character, none if the choices is a bad one.

[joshsolders]

Basically, if you don't have a copy of the 5* lightcones, definitely buy them. You essentially spend half the pulls to guarantee the lightcone you want. I guess the downside of this is that you can't get 5* characters this way, but its probably worth it in most situations since those artifacts do so much (or most of them do anyway). Some of them even change how you can use your characters.

[yashtandon]

Dance, Dance, Dance is Tingyun's second best option after Bronya's signature lightcone, but only because Bronya's lightcone has higher stats. Also, you cannot guarantee Seele goes before Tingyun since Seele buffs her own speed.

[andryanX]

Gepard cones is amazing, especially if you use belobog relics (gain 15% more def if hitrate above 50%). I can see future tanks offer some sorts of debuff thats why effect hit rates are really welcome

[CosmicDuskWolf]

I ended up getting Bronya and Clara's light cone, and I don't have either of them. I got those light cones from losing 50/50's. I would love to get Wel's light cone. One day I will get Clara, but until then it's just collecting dust. So what I learned from getting the light cones that I got, is that I almost thing getting pulls is better in a way, it does let you get more characters and light cones. So I guess it depends on what you want.

[sorakey]

only Bronya and Gepard lc worth the point imo, would rather go for pulls other than that, unless u are a whale and wanna max a standard lc. Bronya is good because of the Err, that thing make her ult 1 turn faster and somewhat solve her skill point problem, for Gepard it literally a better Landau's Choice since not only it increase survivability for ur tanker and draw aggro, it also give their teammate bigger shield by adding alot of def, ehr on top of that for easier taunt/cc and easier to trigger bonus 15% def by achieve 50% ehr on bolobog 2 piece set, which for even more shield
