by ” The Birth of the Self ” is a 4-star Cone of Light from Honkai Star Rail for characters of the Path of Erudite and the truth is that it is a very interesting cone since it is aimed at greatly enhancing the damage of Additional Attacks and There are many characters on the route who stand out for doing very good damage through this type of Attacks.
Of course, this is not something that applies to all Path characters, but for those who do a lot of damage through their Additional Attacks (and who also do them often), this Cone of Light is undoubtedly a very good option .
Now we will investigate the matter a little more. We will start as always by talking about the statistics and passive of this Cone of Light and after this we will see which are the best characters to whom you can equip this very useful Cone of Light and those who can wear it but who we do not recommend so much.
ATTRIBUTES OR STATISTICS OF “THE BIRTH OF THE SELF”
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 : +24% Additional Attack Damage. +24% Extra Attack Damage if the enemy has 50% health or less.
- S5 : +48% Damage from Additional Attacks. +48% Extra Attack Damage if the enemy has 50% health or less.
A very simple but also very effective passive, most of the characters of the Path of Erudite stand out for having good damage through their Additional Attacks with some exceptions such as Serval , who does not directly make this type of attacks.
As standard we will obtain a considerable increase in damage (between 24% and 48% more damage for this type of attacks), but when we hit an enemy with health below 50% this increase will be doubled, thus obtaining between +48% and +96% Damage for these attacks, which is stupid.
WHAT CHARACTER DID I EQUIP IT TO?
We can equip it to those characters of the Path of Erudite who deal a lot of damage through Additional Attacks and who perform them often, this last condition will take a few characters out of the equation; We only want to equip it to those who really tend to do this type of damage a lot.
The law (not always true) that the character in the photo can take advantage of it works on this occasion. Herta takes advantage of it wonderfully because she is a character who makes quite a few Additional Attacks, especially when we face waves of enemies, which is where she stands out the most.
The best of all is that it even takes advantage of the second part of the passive very well (the issue of more damage to enemies with health at 50% or below) since it activates its Additional Attacks precisely when we hit an enemy with health at 50% or less (it can only happen once per enemy, which is the bad thing about Herta, if it weren’t for that, she would be a tremendous character).
Jing Yuan is a beast when it comes to Extra Attack damage. He does them often and also causes a lot of damage with them. For that reason, this is one of the most interesting 4* Light Cones for him.
Now we will talk about other characters who could equip it, but the truth is that in these cases I wouldn’t recommend it as much because they use it much less:
- Himeko : It is true that she causes a lot of damage with her Additional Attacks, the problem is that she generally does not perform them very often and therefore does not take advantage of this Cone of Light as much as the characters we mentioned above.
- Qingque : If you have it in E4 it can be an option because we will have the possibility of making a very powerful Additional Attack. But since this depends a bit on chance, I wouldn’t recommend it so much. In your case, a Cone like “ Today is Another Quiet Day ” is much more worthwhile.
