by «The Rest of the Geniuses» is a 4-star Cone of Light from Honkai Star Rail for characters of the Path of Erudite and it must be said that it is a very interesting Cone because it has very good effects and because practically all characters of the Path can take advantage of it.
This is the typical very versatile cone, which is something that is always very appreciated in this game and in other similar ones such as Genshin Impact. Mainly because we have to equip many characters and these types of Cones that are useful for practically every character in the Path are always a gem. “The Solemnity of Breakfast” is another very good example of this.
The Solemnity of Breakfast
+12% Damage. Each time the wielder kills an enemy, their ATK will increase by 4% (maximum 3 stacks).
Furthermore, the only condition you have to get the most out of it is one that Erudite characters can meet extremely easily. But well, let’s go with the detailed analysis of the Cone and I’ll tell you about it.
ATTRIBUTES OR STATISTICS OF “THE REST OF THE GENIUSES”
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):
- PV: 847.
- ATQ: 476.
- DEF: 397.
Next, we will see the benefits that the passive of this Cone of Light brings us:
- S1: +16% ATK. +24% CRIT Damage for 3 turns when the wearer defeats an enemy.
- S5: +32% ATK. +48% CRIT Damage for 3 turns when the wearer defeats an enemy.
As you can see, it is a very versatile Cone. Attack % is a statistic that practically all characters in the game take advantage of with a few exceptions; In the case of the Way of Erudition there is no exception, at least at the time when I am writing this text.
Critical Damage is a vital statistic for any character specialized in DPS (all Erudite characters are specialized in it) and as I mentioned, the condition to activate this effect is a breeze for characters from this Way since they stand out for having very good area damage, since it is very common for them to eliminate enemies. Also, the Critical Damage effect lasts 3 turns, which is quite a bit. It will be very easy to maintain this effect unless we stay against a single enemy, of course.
WHAT CHARACTER DID I EQUIP IT TO?
You can equip it to absolutely all characters in the Path of Erudite. My recommendation is that you save this Cone a bit as a “wild card” to equip it to the character you want. I will give you some recommendations anyway, they will mainly be characters who do not stand out as much for the damage of their Additional Attacks, since these usually have better options focused on increasing that type of damage.
In the absence of the “Today is Another Quiet Day” Light Cone (it’s the PB Erudite Light Cone, it’s an incredibly good Cone), this is a very good alternative for Qingque.
Today is Another Quiet Day
+0.2% Damage for each point of the wearer’s Maximum Energy up to a maximum of 160 points.
Since this character does a lot of area damage, it will be very easy for him to defeat an enemy and get that juicy Critical Damage that comes in so handy.
Argenti takes advantage of “The Rest of the Geniuses” extraordinarily well because it has a lot of area damage. Additionally, since he does not have any Additional Attacks, he has fewer Cone of Light options than other characters. In any case, in his case I would recommend that you equip him with the Cone of “Let the World Call” is already a very good option for his case and he is one of the few characters who take advantage of it.
Let the World Cry
Restores 20 Energy Points when entering battle. +32% Ultimate Skill Damage.
Himeko is another character that stands out for her good area damage and although she has Additional Attacks, as she performs them from time to time, it is preferable to equip her with more generic options in terms of damage as is this Cone of Light.
Regarding other characters to whom you could equip the Cone, what I have already told you, you can equip it to any character on the Way of Erudite without problems. Those that we have already mentioned are the ones that we consider take advantage of it a little better, but everyone can take advantage of it.
