A new Honkai: Star Rail leak has revealed two Light Cones that will be added to event warps in version 2.4. Over the past few days, leaks about Honkai: Star Rail's version 2.4 have given fans an insight into the upcoming content. The game's next major update will allegedly promote two new five-star units, Jiaoqiu and Screwllum, that have their own team roles and abilities.
Each Honkai: Star Rail update brings at least two banners, which feature new five-star characters and Light Cones with increased drop rates. These temporary banners are a fundamental part of the game's Warp system that requires players to use Special Rail Passes. They are usually time-limited to 21 days, like in-game events. One thing to note is that Honkai: Star Rail's event banners also include four-star rerun units and Light Cones.

A new Honkai: Star Rail leak from HomDGCat has revealed two Light Cones that players will claim in version 2.4. According to their descriptions, one applies the Fragile debuff on enemies and reduces their DEF for a couple of turns, while the other boosts the damage dealt by follow-up attacks. They will reportedly have a five-star rarity and appear on time-limited banners. As yet, no details are available about their base stats.
Honkai: Star Rail's Jiaoqiu Could Use One of the Upcoming Light Cones
There's a likelihood that Honkai: Star Rail's Jiaoqiu will use the one that provides DEF reduction as his signature Light Cone. Players will most likely spend their Special Rail Passes on event warps to get these leaked weapons in version 2.4. As per the schedule, Honkai: Star Rail's next update will be available across all platforms in July.
Light Cones in Honkai: Star Rail are as important as relics and planar ornaments, allowing players to empower their favorite characters. They change the playstyle of the wearer and improve their stats significantly. Moreover, Light Cones offer players a unique ability that enhances their offensive or defensive capabilities. For example, Brighter Than the Sun increases the wearer's CRIT Rate, while Earthly Escapade boosts their CRIT DMG by a percentage.
Speaking of Light Cones, Honkai: Star Rail will introduce three of them in version 2.3, each with its unique passive ability. These weapons follow the path of Erudition and improve the character's base stats. As per some beta leaks, one of the upcoming Light Cones, After the Charmony Fall, could be given as an event reward in update 2.3. Its artwork will reportedly contain Honkai: Star Rail's Sunday.
