Best Light Cone

Back to All Characters

The Remembrance path, known from the Simulated Universe for its crowd-control freezing mechanics, takes on a new role in Honkai: Star Rail’s version 3.0 update. Now a playable character path, Remembrance shifts focus to summoning units, akin to Jing Yuan’s Lightning Lord, offering both damage and support capabilities.

As the Ice Remembrance Trailblazer, this character excels at charging their summon, Mem, which enables allies to deal True DMG while boosting their Crit Rate, Crit DMG, and action priority. This positions the Trailblazer as a support-oriented unit. However, the newness of this path limits light cone options tailored to its kit.

Avoid damage-focused light cones like Sweat Now, Cry Less (4-star), Geniuses' Greetings (4-star), or Time Woven Into Gold (Aglaea’s 5-star signature), as they don’t align with the Trailblazer’s support role. Below are the top light cone choices and why they excel in Honkai: Star Rail.

Victory In a Blink

Top Support Light Cone for Remembrance Trailblazer

HP

ATK

DEF

847

397

S5 Passive

Boosts the wearer’s CRIT DMG by 24%. When the wearer’s memosprite uses an ability on an ally, it increases all allies’ DMG dealt by 16% for 3 turns.

Victory In a Blink, a fully F2P-friendly light cone available via the Forgotten Hall’s Light Cone Manifest Store, is the ideal choice for Remembrance Trailblazer. Its accessibility allows players to max superimpose it with enough currency. While the Crit DMG boost is less relevant for a support unit, the 16% DMG increase for allies over three turns perfectly complements Mem’s support abilities, making it a top-tier option.

Victory In a Blink is both cost-effective and highly effective, though two alternative light cones can serve as backups if it’s unavailable, albeit with slightly reduced performance.

Shadowburn

Top 3-Star Light Cone for Remembrance Trailblazer

HP

ATK

DEF

847

318

265

S5 Passive

Upon first summoning the memosprite in battle, recovers 1 Skill Point and regenerates 20 Energy for the wearer.

Shadowburn is a decent pick for Remembrance Trailblazer, especially for speeding up battle pacing. Its key strength lies in recovering a Skill Point and generating 20 Energy when Mem is first summoned, which is ideal for short battles or time-sensitive content. This effect accelerates Mem’s charge, enabling faster ability use.

However, Shadowburn’s effect only triggers on Mem’s initial summon, limiting its value in prolonged battles beyond 2–3 turns. For extended fights, other light cones may offer greater consistency.

Reminiscence

Top 3-Star Light Cone for Personal Damage

HP

ATK

DEF

635

423

S5 Passive

At the start of the memosprite’s turn, the wearer and memosprite gain 1 stack of “Commemoration,” each increasing DMG dealt by 12%, up to 4 stacks. Stacks are lost when the memosprite disappears.

For players lacking higher-tier light cones or seeking to enhance Mem and Trailblazer’s damage, Reminiscence, a 3-star light cone, is a solid choice. Unlike 4-star or 5-star options that focus on Basic ATK or Crit Rate, which don’t suit Mem or Trailblazer, Reminiscence’s DMG boost offers modest value for minimal investment.

However, accumulating full stacks takes four turns, as Mem and the Trailblazer stack separately. This makes Reminiscence better for longer battles rather than quick clears, unlike Shadowburn’s immediate but fleeting benefit. It’s a viable option for players without better alternatives.
