by ” Far from Fire ” is a 4-star Cone of Light introduced in Honkai Star Rail 2.0 intended for Path of Destruction characters. This is a Cone that is quite good but is for quite niche characters.
This is because it is a Cone of Light designed mainly for those Destruction characters who lower their Life (yes, like Blade) since its activation depends on having a considerable health drop and depending on Whether it is the enemies that cause this drop is quite random and therefore it is better to equip it knowing that we will 100% be able to activate the effect.
The downside is that this reduction in life that the Cone asks of us is quite large, so other characters similar to Blade in that sense, such as Arlan, cannot take advantage of it.
ATTRIBUTES OR STATISTICS OF “FAR FROM FIRE”
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 : 1058.
- ATK : 476.
- DEF : 264.
Next, we will see the benefits that the passive of this Cone of Light brings us:
- S1 : +25% Damage for 2 turns if the user loses 25% of their Max HP on their own or due to an external attack, it will also restore 15% of their Max HP. The effect can be activated every 3 turns.
- S5 : +50% Damage for 2 turns if the user loses 25% of their Max HP on their own or due to an external attack, it will also restore 15% of their Max HP. The effect can be activated every 3 turns.
As you can see, the damage contribution of this Cone of Light is quite high, it even surpasses the “Cone of Arlan” by a little (I’ll stick it to you below, it’s very good), although it is also true that what activates the effect is a little more far-fetched and therefore not as many characters will be able to take advantage of it.
Secret Oath
+20% damage and +20% additional damage if the enemy we attack has a % max HP. superior to that of our character.
In order to activate the effect, our character will have to receive an attack that lowers at least 25% of his Max HP (a strong blow), although you should keep in mind that this also applies to when the character himself is the one who attacks himself. -lower life , which is when this Cone will really spread since depending on enemies to lower that amount of health is arbitrary and relying on chance is usually not a good idea (ironic to say this in a Gacha ).
In addition, in the process we will also recover some health, something that is appreciated given the type of character to whom we will equip this Cone, you know, those who take life from themselves to enhance themselves.
Anyway, something that I don’t like too much about this Cone of Light (which does not mean that it is quite good) is that the effect lasts 2 turns and yet the effect can be activated every 3 turns, this implies that we will have a turn without boosting and that does not mean a considerable damage reduction.
WHAT CHARACTER DID I EQUIP IT TO?
The ideal would be to equip it especially to those DPS characters who, due to their own mechanics, can reduce their health by 25% or more. I already told you that unfortunately Arlan does not fit because even though he self-reduces his life, he does not reach 25% of his Max HP, so he would not activate the effect.
Blade is the ideal candidate for this Cone of Light since he is a character who boosts himself by taking life from himself and unlike Arlan, he does manage to activate the effect of the Cone of Light since he reduces his Life by 30 % of his max HP when activating his Basic Skill. I consider “Secret Oath” to be more worth it for him in general, but “Far from Fire” is without a doubt a very valid alternative for this one.
Furthermore, it doesn’t hurt at all to be able to recover a little health since this character is always a little on the “tightrope” as far as his health is concerned and thus he will be a little safer.
Clara is another character that you could equip, although in this case I would not recommend it as much as in the previous one since, as I mentioned a little above, we would depend a little on chance since we would only activate the effect if an enemy hits us. and causes us damage equivalent to at least 25% of their Max HP.
I recommend her above other characters since she bases her strategy on being the target of attacks in order to carry out her powerful counterattacks, so by receiving more hits than usual, we will be more likely to activate the damage increase effect of this Cone of Light. Of course, if you equip her with this Cone, do not take her with characters that generate shields for her, such as March Seven , since the shields mitigate the damage that the character receives and the Cone of Light is activated when our health is lowered ( Fu Xuan would be a bad idea too since she takes almost all the damage), you see better with characters like Lynx .
Regarding other characters, it would be better not to equip this Cone of Light for the reasons already mentioned, in characters who do not lower their life it is too random and unproductive.
