Intensify the power of Destruction!
Getting Firefly added to your collection of Honkai: Star Rail characters is lucky! Not only is she a wonderful character in the Trailblazer’s adventure, but she is also a powerful warrior. The might of the mechanical armor Sam is on her side to defeat lots of monsters. There is one thing that could make Firefly even better — a proper Light Cone.
Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.3 adds Firefly as a playable character, and the Light Cone Event Warp Phase 1 banner offers a 5-star Light Cone for her. Still, the randomness of drops may be unmerciful, and it takes quite a few Star Rail Special Passes to try and get a 5-star item. There should be quite a few other Firefly Light Cones in your possession, and we will help you find the best among them.
In this post on esports.gg, we highlight Honaki: Star Rail Light Cones that go nicely with the specific abilities from Firefly’s kit.

Path of Destruction
There are 16 Light Cones of the Destruction path in Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.3. All of them can be used to amplify the abilities of Firefly. Still, some of them are more in tune with the specific kit of this character.
If you play the game, you know this feeling — you activate another series of 10 warps and get lots of 3-star Lights Cones. Most of them are duplicates. The 4-star Light Cones also drop quite regularly, and eventually, you have a vast collection of these pieces of refined memory.
It is possible to exchange excessive Light Cones for items by salvaging them, but it is a good idea to keep some for your new characters. And then, when the warp system blesses you with someone you want to develop and use in battles, it may be a bit overwhelming to read through all the Light Cones explanations to figure out what is the best for this character.
Firefly follows the path of Destruction, and you should have some suitable Light Cones right in your inventory. Let’s figure out what enhances Firefly’s kit better.
Firefly in Honkai: Star Rail battles
While encountering monsters or during various events of Honkai: Star Rail, Firefly transforms into Sam — she joins the battles in her mechanical armor. Sam has two forms:
These features directly affect what Light Cone you want to use for Firefly.
The best Firefly Light Cones
Let’s break the whole list of Destruction Light Cones into categories by rarity and highlight only those to consider for Firefly.
5-Stars
Most of the 5-star Light Cones have been made specifically for a character’s kit. Still, some of them can be universal. For the Destruction path, we have these 5-star Light Cones suitable for Firefly.
A great thing about the On the Fall of an Aeon Light Cone is that you don’t need to hope for the random drop from warp. Head to the Simulated Universe, complete missions there to earn eight Herta Bonds, and then buy the Light Cone in Herta’s Store.

4-Stars
Light Cones of this rarity level are much easier to get from the warp drop, but they are still pretty effective in Honkai: Star Rail battles. Here are the best 4-star Firefly Light Cones.
To get Flames Afar or Woof! Walk Time!, buy these Firefly Light Cones for 200 Lucent Afterglow from the Forgotten Hall Store. Obtain Nowhere to Run from the Nameless Honor Battle Pass at level 30, get Treasure of the Starry Seas, and spend it for the Light Cone. Only Indelible Promise from our list drops from Light Cones warps.
You need to enhance and level up each Light Cone to get the most out of its effect.

3-Stars
Such Light Cones are pretty common, and you should have quite a lot of them in your Honkai: Star Rail inventory. They are mainly universal, and the effect of rarer Light Cones is better for Firefly. Still, these two may do good for the character.
5-star Light Cone Whereabouts Should Dreams Rest
Firefly has her own dedicated Light Cone: Whereabouts Should Dreams Rest. It emphasizes the Break Effect, which is great for the character.
However great the idea of having a specialized Light Cone seems to be, the lack of healing effects is a disadvantage here. It could be compensated for with a clever team composition.
Getting Whereabouts Should Dreams Rest may be difficult and costly. If you already have Light Cones from our list, hunting for this one might be unnecessary.
Team composition with Firefly in Honkai: Star Rail
To get the most out of Firefly’s kit, you need to add a proper team composition to the best Light Cones. Let’s briefly highlight the main principles.
As Firefly is a tanky character with a focus on Break Effect and CRIT Rate, you don’t need other mighty attackers in your team. It would be better to have:
As for the Trailblazers, the combination of the Harmony path and the Imaginary character type is one of the best choices for Firefly. Your main character will be able to increase the Break Effect.
