Best Light Cone |

Rappa is an AoE-oriented DPS character in Honkai: Star Rail who specializes in Break DMG, much like Boothill or Firefly. Given her focus on this niche playstyle, she benefits most from stats such as Break Effect, ATK, and Speed. However, as the first Erudition character to center her kit around Break DMG, Rappa's ideal light cone options are somewhat limited, especially since she cannot effectively use common DPS stats like Crit Rate or Crit DMG.
Best DPS Characters in Honkai: Star Rail Ranked
As much as the battle mechanics in Honkai: Star Rail revolve around having Supports to carry the team’s utility, DPS units are the ones that get the job done. Since Honkai: Star Rail has a unique roster of characters, each DPS shines in their own kit while offering their unique specialties and Skills.
Fortunately, despite the narrower range of choices, there are still several great light cones available to maximize Rappa's potential. Whether players opt for premium 5-star light cones, 4-star gacha options, or more accessible F2P alternatives, these options can help her thrive in Break DMG-focused teams. Here are the best light cones for Rappa in Honkai: Star Rail.
5 Geniuses' Repose
|
HP |
ATK |
DEF |
|---|---|---|
|
847 |
476 |
397 |
|
S5 Passive |
||
|
Increases the wearer's ATK by 32%. When the wearer defeats an enemy, the wearer's CRIT DMG increases by 48% for 3 turn(s). |
||
While Geniuses' Repose isn't fully synergistic with Rappa, it can still serve as a solid option for players who have it at max superimposition and lack better alternatives from her list of light cones. This is because, despite the conditional Crit DMG buff—which isn’t particularly useful for Rappa due to her focus on Break DMG—the 32% ATK increase it offers immediately is valuable. Unlike other light cones like The Seriousness of Breakfast, which require stacking conditions to build up ATK, Geniuses' Repose provides its ATK bonus instantly, making it more reliable in that regard.
Similarly, The Day The Cosmos Fell operates in a comparable way, offering a passive ATK buff. However, its ATK increase is notably lower than what Geniuses' Repose provides when fully superimposed, making it a less effective choice for maximizing Rappa’s Break DMG potential, as her Break DMG scales with ATK as well.
4 Night on the Milky Way
|
HP |
ATK |

|
S1 Passive |
||
|
For every enemy on the field, increases the wearer's ATK by 9.0%, up to 5 stacks. When an enemy is inflicted with Weakness Break, the DMG dealt by the wearer increases by 30% for 1 turn. |
||
Night on the Milky Way can be seen as a "Freemium" option for Rappa, since it's not a limited 5-star light cone and can even be obtained through the in-game shop. While it's not recommended to prioritize purchasing this light cone solely for Rappa, players who already own it should definitely consider it, especially in content where multiple enemies are present on the field. When fighting against five enemies, Rappa can gain up to a 45% ATK increase, which greatly enhances her overall damage potential.
However, the second part of the light cone's passive, which involves boosting damage after inflicting Weakness Break, doesn't directly benefit Rappa's Break DMG. Instead, it contributes to her regular damage modifiers, which are not as critical to her kit compared to her Break-focused abilities. Thus, while it has some synergy, Night on the Milky Way isn't fully optimized for Rappa’s specific playstyle but can still be useful in certain scenarios.
3 Eternal Calculus
|
HP |
ATK |
DEF |
|---|---|---|
|
1058 |
529 |
396 |
|
S5 Passive |
||
|
Increases the wearer's ATK by 12%. After using an attack, for each enemy target hit, additionally increases ATK by 8%. This effect can stack up to 5 times and last until the next attack. If there are 3 or more enemy targets hit, this unit's SPD increases by 16%, lasting for 1 turn(s). |
||
Eternal Calculus is the best fully F2P option for Rappa, as it can be acquired from Herta's Store. When maxed at Superimposition 5, it offers a substantial ATK boost, especially in content like Pure Fiction where multiple enemies appear within the same wave.
In addition to the ATK increase, Eternal Calculus also boosts Rappa's Speed, a crucial stat for her since it allows her to take more frequent turns, aiding in her Break DMG potential. This Speed boost gives it an advantage over other light cones that focus solely on ATK, as it enhances both her damage output and turn efficiency, making Eternal Calculus a very well-rounded F2P choice for Rappa.
2 After the Charmony Fall
|
HP |
ATK |
DEF |
|---|---|---|
|
846 |

|
S1 Passive |
||
|
Increases the wearer's Break Effect by 28%. After the wearer uses their Ultimate, increases their SPD by 8%, lasting for 2 turns. |
||
After the Charmony Fall stands out as Rappa's best 4-star option, particularly due to its focus on Break Effect, which directly aligns with her kit. Alongside her signature light cone, it's only other option available that boosts Break Effect for Erudition characters during hte debut of Rappa, making it extremely valuable, however niche. Although it may be somewhat hard to obtain, as it's a relatively recent Gacha light cone, it shines even more when max superimposed, with the Break Effect buff becoming comparable to that of Rappa's signature light cone.
In addition to boosting Break Effect, After the Charmony Fall also grants a Speed increase after Rappa uses her Ultimate, much like Eternal Calculus. This added Speed allows Rappa to take more frequent turns, making it a well-rounded and more budget-friendly alternative to her signature light cone, especially for players who don't want to heavily invest in a 5-star option but still want to maximize her Break DMG potential.
1 Ninjutsu Inscription - Dazzling Evilbreaker
|
HP |
ATK |
DEF |

Increases the wearer's Break Effect by 60%. When entering battle, immediately regenerates 30 Energy. After the wearer uses Ultimate, obtains "Raiton." After using 2 Basic ATKs, advances the wearer's action by 50% and removes "Raiton." After the wearer uses Ultimate, resets "Raiton." |
||
Ninjutsu Inscription - Dazzling Evilbreaker is Rappa's best light cone option and, as her signature, offers the most synergy with her kit. This light cone significantly boosts her Break Effect, making it invaluable for maximizing her Break DMG, the core of her playstyle. Additionally, it provides a small amount of energy at the start of the battle, which is crucial for enabling her to activate her Ultimate early, further enhancing her combat effectiveness.
While this light cone doesn't offer a Speed increase like some other options, it compensates by advancing Rappa's action forward, allowing her to potentially take multiple actions per turn.
