by « Image in the Memory » is a Cone of Light belonging to the Way of Harmony in Honkai Star Rail that provides very different effects to those we are used to seeing in other cones of this way. It can be obtained randomly by performing a jump on the Normal Jump banner, Cone of Light Event banner, or Character Event banner.
As we have already mentioned, if we compare it with the vast majority of the Cones of Light that we can find in the Way of Harmony, it will be quite out of tune with the rest. This is because in general, these tend to provide positive effects for the rest of the characters in the group; but in the case of «Image in the Memory», we will be boosting the damage of the Weakness Breaks produced by Harmony itself.
Therefore, it will be a Cone of Light quite incompatible with those characters that do not deal damage with their abilities beyond their Basic Attacks. The only aspect of “Image in Memory” that serves as a bit more of a support, is that every time the character attacks an enemy, they will recover a certain amount of energy additionally to speed up the recharge of the Ultimate.
ATTRIBUTES OR STATISTICS OF “IMAGE IN MEMORY”
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 : 423
- DEF : 396
Now we go with the passive that is what really interests us:
- S1 : +28% to the wearer’s Rupture effect. After attacking, the user of this Cone of Light recovers an additional 4 energy points (can only be activated 1 time per turn).
- S5 : +56% to the wearer’s Rupture effect. After attacking, the user of this Cone of Light recovers an additional 8 energy points (can only be activated 1 time per turn).
The passive of this Cone of Light will increase the Rupture effect of the character to whom we equip it, enhancing this parameter will have the following consequences:
- Increased the damage generated when breaking the stamina bar of enemies.
- Greater amplitude of delay in the actions of the enemies (only for the Quantum Element and the Imaginary).
- Increased Damage Over Time generated by Weakness Breaks (almost all Elements generate this type of damage except Imaginary, for example, Burn will deal Fire Damage each time the affected enemy starts their turn).
The passive of this Cone will also allow us to recover a little energy every time we make any type of attack on an enemy, which will help us have the Ultimate Ability recharged more quickly. Of course, it is not a very significant amount and it will only activate once per turn, so even if we hit several enemies, we will continue to recover the same amount of energy.
WHICH CHARACTER DO I EQUIP IT TO?
There are many Path of Harmony characters that can’t take advantage of this Cone of Light, but there are some that are especially good at creating Weakness Breaks and will be able to take advantage of “Image in Memory”:
Asta has a Basic Ability that allows him to attack up to six times in a row (if you have his E1, otherwise he will hit 5 times), this gives him a great facility to destroy the strength bars of enemies and constantly generate Weakness Breaks.
By increasing the effect of Shaft Rupture with this Cone of Light we will be able to inflict greater damage when breaking the bars of steadfastness and the Damage over Fire Time received by enemies affected by the Burn state that this applies will also be increased character by breaking the stamina bars of enemies.
In addition, this cone will also help us a little to recover energy every time we attack enemies with Asta’s Basic Ability or with his Basic Attack, so we can use his valuable Ultimate Ability more frequently, which increases the SPD of the entire team. party .
When it comes to generating Weakness Breaks, Yukong is an excellent character to take care of this task since his Talent makes his Basic Attacks more powerful and lowers the strength bar of enemies with 100% more effectiveness (although this effect of the Talent has a one turn cooldown after using it).
As it belongs to the Imaginary Element, it cannot deal Damage Over Time when creating a Weakness Rupture, but it can delay the action of enemies, so it is not bad for us to take advantage of the Rupture effect that this Cone of Light gives us. to amplify the delay of the action of the enemies.
Of course, keep in mind that in the case of Yukong this will be something very secondary, since we need to use the Basic Ability for as long as possible and it does not generate damage.
These are other characters that can take advantage of the bonuses of this Cone of Light:
- Tingyun : In the case of this character, it is preferable to equip him with other Cones of Light that make him a better support for the team, such as « Sculpt the Moon and Weave the Clouds » or « Planetary Encounter ». But after all, Tingyun is a character that usually only needs to use his Basic Ability once every three turns, so we’ll be attacking with basics the rest of the time and it won’t hurt to equip him with this cone to recover a increased amount of energy when hitting enemies and to increase the damage of possible Weakness Breaks it can generate.
