Version 4.4 of Honkai: Star Rail brings three new Light Cones, and all of them are 5-star signatures tied to the update’s limited characters. Himeko Nova, Rin Tohsaka, and Gilgamesh each arrive with a Light Cone built around their kit, so if you plan to pull the character, the matching cone lives on the same run of banners.
Quick answer: Pull A Star That Lights the Night on Himeko Nova’s Brilliant Fixation banner, Flickering Stars on Rin Tohsaka’s Kaleidic Coruscation warp, and I Am As You Behold on Gilgamesh’s Age of Gods Golden Gate warp. Rin’s and Gilgamesh’s cones go live with the second Fate/stay night collaboration inside 4.4.
The three 4.4 Light Cones at a quick glance
Two of the new cones follow the Erudition path, while Gilgamesh’s follows Destruction. Here is how each one lines up with its character and banner.
| Light Cone | Path | Character | Banner |
|---|---|---|---|
| A Star That Lights the Night | Erudition | Himeko Nova | Brilliant Fixation |
| Flickering Stars | Erudition | Rin Tohsaka | Kaleidic Coruscation |
| I Am As You Behold | Destruction | Gilgamesh | Age of Gods Golden Gate |
A Star That Lights the Night (Himeko Nova signature)
Himeko Nova’s cone rewards a team that leans on Assist Skills. At Superimposition Level 1, the wearer ignores 32% of the target’s DEF when dealing damage. Whenever the wearer uses an Assist Skill, they regenerate 6 Energy and gain a stack of Sail that lasts for two turns, stacking up to three times. Each Sail stack raises Assist Skill damage by 20%, and once Sail hits three stacks, every stack also raises Ultimate damage by 20%.
Base stats land at 635 ATK, 847 HP, and 529 DEF, which fits an Erudition damage dealer built around follow-up and assist actions.
How to get it: Warp on the Brilliant Fixation banner during Version 4.4 using Stellar Jade or the Star Rail Special Pass.
Flickering Stars (Rin Tohsaka signature)
Flickering Stars is built for Skill Point-hungry teams. At Superimposition Level 1, it raises the wearer’s CRIT Rate by 18%. When any ally in the team spends a total of four or more Skill Points in a single turn, the wearer gains Radiant Crown for three turns. During Radiant Crown, every ally’s damage ignores 20% of the target’s DEF, and the wearer’s own Skill damage climbs by 72%. This effect cannot stack with itself.
Its base stats match the other Erudition cone at 635 ATK, 847 HP, and 529 DEF.
How to get it: Head to the gacha banners once the second Fate collaboration opens and warp on the Kaleidic Coruscation event to pull this 5-star cone.
I Am As You Behold (Gilgamesh signature)
Gilgamesh’s Destruction cone scales with Energy and Ultimate use. At Superimposition Level 1, it increases the wearer’s ATK by 18% and Energy Regeneration Rate by 10%. Using the Ultimate raises that instance’s Ultimate damage by 0.2% for every 1 Energy consumed, up to a cap of 72%. Entering combat or firing the Ultimate grants King’s Entertainment for three turns, which boosts every ally’s CRIT DMG by 24%.
Base stats sit at 635 ATK, 953 HP, and 463 DEF, giving it more survivability than the Erudition pair.
How to get it: Warp on the Age of Gods Golden Gate event, which runs alongside Gilgamesh during the Fate collaboration in 4.4.
When you can pull the 4.4 Light Cones
Version 4.4 is expected to launch on July 14, 2026, opening with the Himeko Nova banner and A Star That Lights the Night. The second phase of the Fate/stay night collaboration is expected to begin on July 24, 2026, which is when Rin Tohsaka and Gilgamesh, along with Flickering Stars and I Am As You Behold, join the banner lineup.
Because the character banner and its matching Light Cone share the same run, plan your Stellar Jade before the update goes live so you can commit to the cones you actually want. No official end time for the Gilgamesh and Rin collaboration banners has been confirmed yet, so treat the collaboration window as a moving target until it goes live.
