There’s Always a Way Home For Every Journey
In the comments, manyHonkai: Star Railfans shared their interpretations of the Light Cones' names. Particularly, they think Sunday’s Light Cone is a reference to Icarus falling after flying too close to the sun, which could symbolize the character’s own fall from grace. It’s also safe to assume that the rumored Light Cones are following the Path of Harmony and Path of NIhility, and each will likely have stat buffs that benefit both characters.
As a Harmony character, Sunday will serve as a support, and there are rumors that he might have the ability to regenerate allies' Ultimate energy. Meanwhile,Fugue is essentially the damage-dealing counterpart of Tingyun, as she transforms into a Nihility character from Harmony and can reportedly deal burn damage over time while also offering support to allies. It will be interesting to see how these rumored Light Cones will benefit the new 5-star characters in battle, or even existing characters who are following the same Paths.
Apart from the 5-star banner characters, not much is known yet aboutHonkai: Star RailVersion 2.7, other than it will launch sometime in November. There are also speculations that this might be the final update before the release of Version 3.0, which will debut therumored Greek-inspired planet inHonkai: Star Railand introduce more exciting additions to the game.
