The best 4-star and 5-star light cone options for Himeko unlock her true potential as an AoE damage dealer.
Himeko, a beloved character from Honkai Impact 3rd, made her return in Honkai: Star Rail as a standard 5-star character. As a Fire element Erudition Path character, she has gained popularity for her exceptional AoE DPS capabilities, making her an excellent choice for farming or dealing with large groups of enemies.

While Himeko is a sought-after Erudition character in Honkai: Star Rail, alongside limited options like Jing Yuan, some players may initially find her underwhelming. This is primarily due to her heavy reliance on a proper build and unlocked traces. To fully unleash her potential, players need to carefully consider her light cones and invest time in farming the necessary materials to maximize her power. By strategically selecting suitable light cones and obtaining her required materials, players can unlock Himeko’s true strength and witness her devastating AoE damage in action.
The Birth Of Self is a highly recommended light cone for players who prioritize building a weakness break team around Himeko. With Himeko’s unique ability to perform a follow-up attack after inflicting weakness break on three enemies, The Birth Of Self further amplifies the devastating impact of her follow-up attacks. This light cone shines brightly when facing groups of enemies, especially when they are already weakened, making it an excellent choice for farming scenarios.

However, it’s worth noting that The Birth Of Self may not deliver the same level of performance in every type of content, particularly against bosses.
