AHonkai: Star Railleak from Dimbreathhas revealed a four-star Light Cone that some Nihility-based characters, such as Welt and Acheron, can use to enhance their offensive capabilities. Called Boundless Choreo, this weapon increases the wearer’s CRIT rate up to 16% when upgraded. Using Boundless Choreo, characters can deal 48% more CRIT damage to enemies with defense reduction debuff. The Light Cone’s artwork shows Acheron dancing with Black Swan, which leads many to believe that the upcoming weapon will be suitable for both characters. One thing to note is that it will be available in version 2.2.

Honkai: Star Rail’s Acheroncan benefit from Boundless Choreo, considering it increases her damage against debuffed enemies. The weapon will probably be locked behind a limited-time banner in version 2.2. However, if it’s an event Light Cone, players will be able to get it more easily.

Each Light Cone inHonkai: Star Railhails from a different path that defines its passive ability. When a character from the same path equips the weapon, they gain access to its unique ability, which usually improves specific stats. For example, Nihility characters like Acheron and Black Swan receive a CRIT damage boost when they use the ‘‘Along the Passing Shore’’ Light Cone.

Aside from Boundless Choreo, the next major version ofHonkai: Star Railwill add another four-star Light Cone, For Tomorrow’s Journey, which follows the Harmony path. The good news is that it will reportedly be free to claim for players. As per its description, For Tomorrow’s Journey increases the wearer’s ATK up to 36%, which makes it a reliable choice for damage dealers from the same path.
