The TOP Light Cones for the Break Effect Meta! | Honkai: Star Rail
Ойындар
It's time to go through the top light cones for the "Break Meta" Honkai: Star Rail has been promoting recently. Where base stats and DMG buffs are less relevant and SPD and BE is the new way, we have some old light cones that get better, as well as strong cones that keep on winning. I go through every cone I think players should look out for for break characters, and if you have any other suggestions let me know! I hope it helps.
Have a guoba day! ˁ(◠ᴥ◠)ˀ

With this new way of building characters they need to add a relic loadout system. I would definitely be more willing to try out BE teams if that didnt mean swapping all the relics and LC on every character every time you want to run them with HMC

It's crazy how Harmony MC have single-handedly raised the stocks of several characters and now several LCs. Like I would have never thought about using Xueyi (although she IS very cool), Galagher, or even Sushang again; and now all I can think about is building them.

Don't fall into the trap of building them if you don't ever plan to get thier best teams. My e4 Xueyi with over 350% break effect still only does 115k an ult. Maybe 40k a skill use. This is without Ruan Mei buffing the toughness dmg which helps alot. Ruan Mei Buffs less than the MC when talking about break dps by a long shot but she is the only way to make it's 10x easier for units that aren't Boothill to break. If I get her I can get rid of 10 of my spd too which will help me add 23% more break effect and also add crit. I have 2 builds for Xueyi. 70/133 crit with 330 BE and 130 SPD in battle. Or 60/80 crit with 370 BE 149 SPD in Battle. Without Ruan the current MOC clear is still 5 cycles with both builds and teams I use.

Do build galagher, i honestly havent used huohuo since i got him. Huo huo is definitely the best healer, but galagher gets the job done, plus he is amazingo for breaking. In my kafka team i always use him if there is fire weak enemies, even tho he doesn’t apply dot, i time him to break the enemies, wich isnt hard at all since his ult advances him 100%

@@NeuviletteBR Honestly he is just a different version of Luocha. They are equal in their healing capabilities. Gallagher however can deal dmg atleast and in super break teams it gets even higher. Mine has no issues healing. It only becomes an issue like with every healer in the game when the enemy just hits the same ally over and over before Gallaghers turn. I haven't used Fu Xuan or Lynx really unless I'm forced to since I got him tbh.

@@Helperishere Gallagher passive healing might be only not enough if you're using Harmony characters that don't attack much (Bronya, Sparkle) but usually you build them defensively anyways that Gallagher can just skill once in a while to top them off. That's less SP gained from Gallagher though, so that's something to keep in mind. With Nihility supports though, or Harmony characters that attack a lot (Tingyun, Hanya, RM, HMC) he's disgustingly strong and comfy

@@leonidesbabanto1585 Even with my Sparkle he works perfectly. Sparkle is tanky with her signature LC and I only sometimes need to use skill to heal her. Usually the Besotted augmented attack heal gets her enough hp to not worry about it. I only ever have issues in the current MoC 12 bc rng comes into play. If the dino hits one target multiple times aswell as Cocolia hitting them they may get extremely low. The only time I'll ever suggest Luocha tbh is if you wanna be lazy bc of his easy emergency heal or if you're running Bronya since she is so sp negative. Specifically with Boothill since he taunts.

I think it might finally be useful on Boothill, as his damage seems to come from Basic Attacks or Skill and you just use his Ultimate to mark weaknesses
Insightful video. Made me connect some dots I hadn't yet.
I'm glad to see someone talking about the break meta, particularly 3 star cones and HMC. I think many people have glossed over not only HMC, but these 3 star light cones just on the basis that it's very different to what we are used to (TB being mid, focus on 4 and 5 star cones). Before I watched this vid I decided to try Kafka Himkeo with Ruan Mei and HMC as you were showing in the background, and I was really surprised with the performance. Currently waiting to max out my Serval, as I think there's a chance to 0 cycle with Ruan Mei, HMC, Kafka, and Serval on current MOC 12. I really love super break as it's such a shake up to how we usually build, and the playstyle is really fun and satisfying.

Break Effect(and Super Break) is an interesting mechanic to build teams around. It has some requirements you can play around by playing around the challenge you're facing or you can just use Xueyi or Boothill(or SW) to make it more consistent. The downside is that you can't just throw Ruan Mei in a team without thinking,because if you're playing MoC or PF the Break team will always want her and there isn't really an option that's similar to her(well,Robin is,but then in this scenario you'd need to have both)

There's one way to work around I can think of if having only 1 MotP (superimpose or not) that normally are bind to RM. When pairing with HMC, if you can unlock his/her e4 that share 15% of the BE% then RM can use other harmony lc like Bronya one etc and get her threshold of 180% or more from HMC.

Solitary Healing is amazing for Kafka in PF, break build or atk build. She gets so much extra energy from the passive and can spam her ult back to back with it, especially with Tingyun. I run her with ERR Rope and if I had a decent relic set, Thief set for more energy.

Super Break is really exciting. I had flirted with Break playstyle but building HTB was the first time I went all in on it. HTB hit 130k damage on the Bug boss (on skill with Ruan Mei) and I haven't fully built them yet. It's making me reconsider how to build some of my other supports even though I doubt I'll use HTB in every team it really shows that I've been sleeping on Break effect.
this break meta is so dangerous for my account's resource. I've never bothered with building Sushang, Serval, but now they are viabe for funny break build. Would love to try building them but I have to save resource for firefly.
Using this knowledge to build BE Acheron with hat MC, wish me luck
That "Subscribe for More is now a banger..." had my heart racing for a second. How dare you send me on that roller coaster of emotions
as a sushang main in my beginner days to never using her anymore im glad i can use her again in a more meta/viable comp w the new MC
OH MY GOD, I LOVE THE NEW SUSCRIBE BUTTON ANIMATION
Sampo with Fermata is really good since his skill does hit multiple times. I've been having fun running a team with him, HMC, Ruan Mei, and Huohuo. Also, his DoT is not something to scoff at either with the build. Really make him way more viable with Super Break.
One quick question. I love boothill and I am going to wish for him(maybe his lc as well) and I am f2p. Everyone is talking about how he will get powercrept in the next update by firefly and he isn't worth it. So am I doing a mistake? Or should I just go for him

I do hope they add more break cones esp harmony ones.

I usually stop leveling my charas at level 75 for early game efficiency and it just carries over to today, but now that we’re starting to see break shine I was wondering how much difference does these 5 level gaps make for break damage? Are there calculations for this?

Is Break Debuff based on your current Break Effect or the Break Effect you had when you break the enemy? Like if my Xueyi with 100BE breaks an enemy but the enemy takes action while Harmony TB's Ult is active will Entanglement deal dmg equal to 100 or 130% of my Xueyi's Break Effect?

I wanted to give Harmony MC a 5-star LC for superbig stats, but “Memories of the Past” is so damn perfect for them, and considering they don’t need ATK and can get HP/DEF from relics, the stat difference between 4 and 5 star is basically negligible. I think the biggest issue I have with break builds is that my best characters for toughness damage are DHIL and Acheron. Given my preferred story setup is “double preservation, abundance, DPS,” for maximum immortality, I’ve kinda overoptimized those two. They keep killing people before I can get use out of super-break.
Somehow I have Ruan Mei's LC and S5+S4 Memories of the past, also decent roll for break relic. Is this a sign of Break God loves me?

Im having an issue with MC bc specifically I dont have Ruan Mei or e6 for energy reasons. It would make playing Xueyi 10x easier. I have e4 Xueyi with 370 BE, 149 SPD, and 60/80 crit in battle. I can lower BE by 50 and SPD by 19 to go for a crit build of 70/133. I still only do 115k an ult when they are broken. Ruan Mei for Xueyi in particular will be great for me. Keeping them broken longer while also providing me with the toughness efficiency is crazy good. The only break unit i wouldnt care to have Ruan with would be Boothill since he really doesnt care for her buffs as much as he does MCs. Using them together skyrockets his dmg which i love. I sadly will have to skip dispite him being my most looked forward to unit in the entire game. I was gonna pull but i also wanted e1 Topaz(lost 50/50) and also e4 Xueyi. So now im skipping for Ruan Mei. I have alot of great dps options already so he wont make my account stronger. My Seele is already cracked so i dont mind. 250k an ult and 110k a skill is nice. I just need to get her LC next time.

Harm MC seems like a lot of fun. Too bad I haven't built any break characters. And without RM, the investment doesn't seem worth it...
