by Calderón is a 4-star Honkai Star Rail Cone of Light for characters on the Way of Nihility. In general terms, it seems to me to be a fairly good cone, but it is true that unlike others such as ” Good Night, Sleep Well “, it is much more niche and will only be useful for characters that match with the passive requirements (below we will discuss it better).
These requirements are that it be carried by a Wind or Lightning character and it should also be a character with good damage both in the standard way and through debuffs… so there are quite a few conditions to take into account. Of course, it is a very good cone for those characters that fit well in this and well… Kafka does not appear in the photo by chance as you may already be imagining.
ATTRIBUTES OR STATISTICS OF «CALDERÓN»
Let’s start looking at its basic attributes , keep in mind that we will give you the data it has at level 80 (the maximum):
- HP : 952
- ATK : 476
- DEF : 330
Now we go with the passive, which is what really interests us:
- S1: +16% Rupture Effect and +16% Damage to enemies affected by Electrocution (Lightning) and Weather (Wind). It also increases the Damage of the DoTs of these elements by 16%.
- S5: +32% Rupture Effect and +32% Damage to enemies affected by Electrocution (Lightning) and Weather (Wind). It also increases the Damage of the DoTs of these elements by 32%.
It is true that it is a somewhat niche cone, especially due to the increase in damage to DoTs because despite the fact that DoTs are applied by any character in the end (by causing a Weakness Break ), yours would be to equip it on a character that uses them. apply constantly and that also belongs to the element of Wind or Lightning (which luckily we have some).
The best thing is that it also increases the Break Effect to enhance our Weakness Break and will increase the damage that characters cause to enemies affected by debuffs of the aforementioned elements. The truth is that for the characters that meet these conditions it is a very interesting cone.
WHICH CHARACTER TO EQUIP IT TO?
We have already discussed the conditions for this Cone of Light in the intro and analysis of this post, so you will get an idea. We need to meet these requirements:
- Character of the Lightning or Wind element.
- Good standard damage.
- Debuff regularly .
- Let it hit several targets (to take better advantage of the Effect Break increase and that this character is the one who usually performs the Weakness Break).
Come on, we need a DoTer of these elements that also has good damage with its standard damage (when I say standard damage it is to differentiate common damage from damage over time). These would be the main candidates:
I think no one doubted that Kafka would be here since he meets each of the conditions perfectly, in fact it is clearly one of his best Cone of Light options (4 stars, of course). Good damage and it can also hit several targets, good application of powerful DoTs and it has a Lightning element… so don’t hesitate, a very good character to equip “Calderón” to.
Sampo is another good option for this Cone of Light, although it is true that he does not take advantage of it AS well as Kafka. It meets practically all the mentioned requirements, but where it falters a bit is in the damage it does, which of course is not as high as that of our goddess Kafka, so it ends up taking less advantage of it. That does not mean that it is not a very good Cone of Light for him, it is in this section for a reason, but the truth is that for that matter it would be better to equip him with « Prey Vision ».
