IS COSMIC COLLAPSE DAY ON HONKAI STAR RAIL WORTH IT?

« Cosmic Collapse Day » is a 4-star Cone of Light introduced in version 2.0 of Honkai Star Rail for Erudite characters and the truth is that it is a very good Cone of Light since given the effects and conditions that has this Cone, practically all the characters on the Way can take advantage of it.

As you probably know, Erudite characters specialize in Damage or Area or AoE and based on that, this is a Cone of Light that most characters in the path can equip since the condition to activate all their effects is that our character hits two enemies that are weak to his element with an attack.

In any case, it is true that this Cone of Light has some tough rivals similar to it, such as the following (I’ll paste them below), but it never hurts to have more options as versatile as this one and also something very important to keep in mind. The main thing is that this Cone of Light has cats in its image and that obviously greatly increases its value.

The Solemnity of Breakfast

+12% Damage. Each time the wielder kills an enemy, their ATK will increase by 4% (maximum 3 stacks).

The Rest of the Geniuses

+16% ATK. +24% CRIT Damage for 3 turns when the wearer defeats an enemy.

ATTRIBUTES OR STATISTICS OF “COSMIC COLLAPSE DAY”

Let’s start by looking at its basic attributes, keep in mind that we will give you the data that it has at level 80 (the maximum):

HP : 953.
ATK : 476.
DEF : 331.

Next, we will see the benefits that the passive of this Cone of Light brings us:

S1 : +16% ATK. +20% CRIT Damage for 2 turns when attacking 2 enemies with a weakness to the wearer’s element with one attack.
S5 : +24% ATK. +40% CRIT Damage for 2 turns when attacking 2 enemies with a weakness to the wearer’s element with one attack.

From the outset we will obtain ATK%, a statistic that is interesting for the vast majority of characters in the Path of Erudite, if not all of them. However, we are going to focus on talking more about the next part of the passive, which is what we need to expand on a little more.

We will obtain a fairly high amount of Critical Damage (an invaluable statistic for DPS characters such as those of this Path) with a condition that is quite simple to achieve since we will simply have to hit two enemies simultaneously that are weak to the wearer’s element with one of our attacks. That is, if we equip it to Himeko, for example, it would be enough to simply hit two enemies weak to Fire.

The activation condition is very easy to fulfill for the Path characters as long as we carry those who can hit the enemy weaknesses (which is common), but it is true that comparing this activation effect with other similar Cones such as The aforementioned “Repose of the Geniuses” and “The Solemnity of Breakfast” would be, we consider that it is easier to activate the effects when defeating enemies . Anyway, it is true that unlike in Pure Fiction , there are not so many enemies in the Forgotten Hall, so it will be easier to activate the effects of “Cosmic Collapse Day”.

WHAT CHARACTER DID I EQUIP IT TO?

You can really equip it to all characters in the Path of Erudite, that’s how versatile this Cone of Light is, so we will recommend equipping it mainly to the most notable characters in this Path.

Argenti is an incredible character since he stands out a lot in both Pure Fiction and the Forgotten Hall and that is why we believe that he is undoubtedly one of the best options for this Cone of Light, since he will be able to get good use out of it in both modes in a simple way and as we have mentioned, this Cone of Light is also very viable for the Forgotten Living Room.

Himeko is undoubtedly another of the great highlights of the Path of Erudite thanks to her powerful Additional Attacks and her Ultimate, although it is true that she mainly stands out in Pure Fiction (a monster in that mode since she will activate her Additional Attacks very often) .

The days of Herta being considered a useless character have ended since the inclusion of Pure Fiction, where she is undoubtedly one of the most relevant characters in the game; The truth is that a character like this deserved it because, well, I think we all like him a lot and every day there are more Kuru-kuru followers . Suffice it to say that she will get great benefit from this Cone of Light, although in her case I prefer to opt for the following:
