Best Light Cone

Back to All Characters

Bailu shines as one of the top-tier 5-star characters in Honkai: Star Rail, particularly for her healing capabilities. As a Lightning element character following the Abundance path, she stands out as one of the few available healers in the game, making her an invaluable asset for early game teams. Players fortunate enough to acquire her can rely on her exceptional healing prowess to overcome challenging obstacles.

Furthermore, Bailu possesses a distinctive skill that allows her to safeguard an ally from being knocked down once per battle, providing an invaluable layer of protection and resilience to the team. As the availability of healers in Honkai: Star Railremains limited, it is strongly advised for players fortunate enough to have Bailu to prioritize building her. Equipping her with suitable light cones further enhances her abilities, significantly improving the team's chances of conquering challenging content in the game.

5 Cornucopia

Honkai_ Star Rail – Bailu and Cornucopia
  • Base ATK (LVL 80): 264
  • Base DEF (LVL 80): 264
  • Base HP (LVL 80): 952
  • Effect : When the wearer uses their Skill or Ultimate, their Outgoing Healing increases by 12%/15%/18%/21%/24% .

F2P players who don't have access to higher-tier light cones can still improve Bailu's healing abilities with the 3-star light cone, Cornucopia. Since Bailu can heal with both her Skill and Ultimate, equipping Cornucopia increases her Outgoing Healing unconditionally, ensuring she always heals at a higher rate than if no Outgoing Healing light cone is used. Additionally, Cornucopia's rarity makes it easier to max level, giving players the potential to heal their allies at a high rate even with a lower-rarity weapon.

4 Quid Pro Quo

Honkai_ Star Rail – Bailu and Quid Pro Quo
  • Base ATK (LVL 80): 423
  • Base DEF (LVL 80): 396
  • Base HP (LVL 80): 952
  • Effect : At the start of the wearer’s turn, regenerates 8/10/12/14/16 Energy for a randomly chosen ally (excluding the wearer) whose current Energy is lower than 50%. 16%/18%/20%/22%/24% .

Quid Pro Quo, a 4-star light cone, presents another excellent option for Bailu. It can be purchased from the Forgotten Hall Light Cone Store using Lucent Afterglow or obtained as a Trailblazer Level reward. While it doesn't provide additional healing compared to Cornucopia, considering their equal HP values, it does offer Bailu users the opportunity to benefit from additional stats and assists in ally energy generation, albeit not as consistently. This makes it particularly useful for teams that require energy generation, allowing Bailu to fulfill a dual role as both a healer and energy support.

3 Shared Feeling

Honkai_ Star Rail – Bailu and Shared Feelings
  • Base ATK (LVL 80): 370
  • Base DEF (LVL 80): 396
  • Base HP (LVL 80): 1058
  • Effect : Increases the wearer’s Outgoing Healing by 10%/12.5%/15%/17.5%/20% . When using Skill, regenerates 2/3/3/4/4 Energy for all allies.

Shared Feeling, a 4-star light cone obtainable from gacha, offers Bailu a more effective means of fulfilling the role of an energy support in addition to being a healer compared to the previous options. While the unconditional increase in Outgoing Healing percentage may be slightly lower than that of Cornucopia, it shares the energy-generating ability with Quid Pro Quo. This makes it an incredibly convenient choice for players who have acquired this light cone, as Bailu can provide both enhanced healing and energy generation for all allies when using her skill.

2 Post-Op Conversation

Honkai_ Star Rail – Bailu and Post-Op Conversation
  • Base ATK (LVL 80): 423
  • Base DEF (LVL 80): 330
  • Base HP (LVL 80): 1058
  • Effect : Increases Energy Regeneration Rate of its wearer by 8%/10%/12%/14%/16% and increases Outgoing Healing when they use their Ultimate by 12%/15%/18%/21%/24% .

At first glance, Shared Feeling and Post-Op Conversation may appear similar due to their shared aspects of energy regeneration and outgoing healing. However, there is a significant difference in their focus. Post-Op Conversation is designed to maximize the usage of Bailu's Ultimate, rather than her skill. This makes it an ideal choice for players who prefer to allocate skill points more frequently to other characters, especially if they find the healing bouncing of Bailu's skill to be unreliable. With Post-Op Conversation, players can enjoy higher and more reliable healing capabilities. However, it is important to note that while this light cone helps save skill points for allies, it does not generate energy for them. As a result, Bailu will only function as a dedicated healer. Ultimately, the decision between these two weapons depends on the team composition and the player's preference on how to build Bailu.

1 Time Waits For No One

Honkai_ Star Rail – Bailu and Time Waits for No One
  • Base ATK (LVL 80): 476
  • Base DEF (LVL 80): 463
  • Base HP (LVL 80): 1270
  • Effect : Increases the wearer’s Max HP by 12%/15%/18%/21%/24% and Outgoing Healing by 12%/15%/18%/21%/24% . When the wearer heals allies, record the amount of Outgoing Healing. When any ally launches an attack, a random attacked enemy takes additional DMG equal to 50%/62.5%/75%/82.5%/95% of the recorded Outgoing Healing value. This additional DMG is of the same Type as the wearer’s, is not affected by other buffs, and can only occur 1 time per turn.

Time Waits For No One, Bailu's signature 5-star light cone, stands out as the optimal choice for her. It not only enhances her outgoing healing capabilities but also increases her maximum HP, which directly influences the effectiveness of her healing. This light cone is equally valuable for other healers like Natasha or any future healers who rely on HP scaling for their healing abilities. Although it lacks energy generation properties, Time Waits For No One allows Bailu to contribute additional damage based on her outgoing healing value. Its overall benefits make it a versatile and powerful option for Bailu in Honkai: Star Rail.

Honkai: Star Rail is now available on Android, iOS, and PC. A PlayStation version is in development.
