Is Rin Tohsaka’s signature mild cone value getting in Honkai Star Rail 4.4?

Rin Tohsaka’s signature light cone, Flickering Stars, can be acquired from its respective banner in Honkai Star Rail 4.4. Since the LC is made for characters treading on the Erudition path, only units from that path can utilize the item to its full potential. As you must spend a substantial amount of Stellar Jade to get your hands on Flickering Stars, knowing the worth of the item is a good decision.

In Honkai Star Rail 4.4, you can skip RinTohsaka’s signature light cone. Here’s why.

Exploring why you should pull Rin Tohsaka’s signature light cone in Honkai Star Rail 4.4

Before we discuss why you shouldn’t pull Rin Tohsaka’s signature light cone, let’s take a look at the official effect of Flickering Stars in Honkai Star Rail 4.4:

• “Increases the wearer’s CRIT Rate by 18%. When any ally character consumes a total of 4 or more Skill Points in a single turn, the wearer gains Radiant Crown, lasting for 3 turns. While the wearer holds Radiant Crown, all allies’ DMG dealt ignores 20% of the target’s DEF, and the Skill DMG dealt by the wearer increases by 72%. Effects of the same type cannot stack.”

As mentioned earlier, you can easily skip Flickering Stars in Honkai Star Rail 4.4, which is primarily because Rin Tohsaka can deal almost the same amount of damage while using other LCs. If you have The Herta’s signature added to your collection, you can use it on Rin. Furthermore, Anaxa’s LC works similarly to her own signature, which allows her to deal the most damage among all alternative light cones.

Hence, you can save those Star Rail Special Passes needed to get Rin Tohsaka’s light cone and use them to pull her Eidolons instead. Since you at least need 60 pulls to obtain Flickering Stars in HSR, that amount will get you a 5-star in the character banner (if you are somewhat lucky). Otherwise, you’ll need 80 pulls for a 5-star to show up.

In conclusion, you can use most signature light cones of other Erudition characters on Rin Tohsaka that grant SPD, DEF reduction, Energy regeneration, or even Skill/ultimate damage boost. Furthermore, the free-to-play light cone Eternal Calculus is a good choice.
