Best Light Cone
Back to All Characters
As a Nihility character, Pela is highly sought-after for her debuffing abilities, especially since there are limited options within this path inHonkai: Star Rail. Her ultimate significantly reduces enemies' DEF while dealing AoE Ice damage, and her skill can remove buffs from single enemies, making her valuable in various battles.

With her primary role as an enemy debuffer, she can also serve as asub-DPS and toughness-breaker whenpaired with characters like Asta, particularly against enemies weak to them. Choosing how to build Pela inHonkai: Star Railand selecting a suitable light cone depends on player preference and team composition, but there are numerous excellent options available for her regardless.
5Void
Considering Pela’s role as an ideal character for inflicting negative status effects on enemies, it is generally recommended that players prioritize building her with Effect Hit Rate. This is important even though her ultimate already has a base 100% chance to inflict the Exposed debuff. Some may assume that this guarantees consistent debuffing, but it’s worth noting that enemies may have resistance to certain debuffs. Building Pela withEffect Hit Rate can help ensuremore reliable status infliction.

Additionally, as an Ice character, Pela can be particularly useful for inflicting Frozen on enemies, making a high effect hit rate even more beneficial. In this regard, Void is an ideal 3-star light cone option that is relatively easier to superimpose due to its rarity, making it a viable F2P choice to some extent.
4Eyes of the Prey
While the artwork of Eyes of the Preyfeatures Sampo, this 4-star light cone is can be suitable for other Nihility characters like Pela as well since it provides a benefit in increasing the Effect Hit Rate just like the Void. Although Pela doesn’t typically focus on Damage over Time (DoT), this effect can be advantageous in various scenarios, such as inSimulated Universe challenges, particularly if players have chosen the Nihility path.
3Good Night and Sleep Well
Good Night and Sleep Well is another 4-star light cone that primarily enhances Pela’s sub-DPS role compared to other available 4-star light cones for the Nihility path. Given Pela’s ability to inflict multiple debuffs on the enemy, particularly when combined withother Nihility characters like Welt, she can significantly amplify her damage output with her traces.
2In the Name of the World
Being a 5-star light cone andconsidered Welt’s signature light cone, In the Name of the World is an excellent choice for Nihility characters like Pela, offering a range of beneficial effects that enhance her capabilities in multiple ways. This light cone not only increases Pela’s Effect Hit Rate and ATK specifically for her skill, but also boosts her overall damage against debuffed enemies. As a result, Pela can unleash more potent attacks while maintaining greater consistency in applying the Frozen effect. However, if players are fortunate enough to acquire both this light cone and Welt himself, it is a more fitting option for him, as it synergizes better with his kit and enables him to unleash significant damage output with his skill.
1Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat
It may come as a surprise to some players that a 4-star light cone can outperform a 5-star option, but this is indeed the case, especially for those who haven’t fully optimized Pela’s damage potential alongside her debuff capabilities and want to focus on maximizing the number of debuffs applied. Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat allows Pela to not only utilize the debuffs already present in her kit, but also apply an Ensnared debuff, further reducing enemies' DEF and enabling the team to deal even greater damage.

The notable aspect of this light cone is that its effect isn’t limited to a specific condition such as Basic ATK, Skill, or Ultimate, which means Pela can apply debuffs even with her Basic ATK, making it a cost-effective option in terms of skill points, and can apply them in an AoE range through her Ultimate. It’s important to mention that while higher superimposes enhance the consistency, the base DEF decrease percentage is not significantly higher, making even a single copy of this light cone a viable option.
