The Birth Of Self

• Base ATK (LVL 80): 476
• Base DEF (LVL 80): 330
• Base HP (LVL 80): 952
• Effect : DMG dealt by the wearer’s follow-up attacks is increased by 24%/30%/36%/42%/48%. If the target enemy’s current HP is less than 50% of their Max HP, the DMG inflicted by follow-up attacks is increased by 16%/20%/24%/28%/32%.

For players who prioritise constructing a weakness break squad around Himeko, The Birth Of Self is a highly recommended light cone. The Birth Of Self intensifies Himeko’s destructive follow-up assaults by giving her the unique ability to conduct a follow-up attack after inflicting weakness break on three adversaries. while facing groups of foes, especially while they are already weakened, this light cone glows brilliantly, making it an ideal choice for farming settings.

However, it’s important to note that The Birth Of Self may not give the same degree of performance in every type of material, especially when competing against bosses. Breaking a boss’s weakness usually takes more time and effort, decreasing Himeko’s chances of triggering follow-up attacks. However, against bosses like Cocolia, who regularly spawn new opponents, The Birth Of Self can be extremely powerful. Finally, when deciding if The Birth Of Self is the best option for Himeko’s light cone, players should examine the specific material they are participating in.

Today Is Another Peaceful Day

• Base ATK (LVL 80): 529
• Base DEF (LVL 80): 330
• Base HP (LVL 80): 846
• Effect : Increases the wearer’s DMG based on their Max Energy after entering battle. DMG rises by 0.2%/0.25%/0.3%/0.35%/0.4% per point of Energy, up to a maximum of 160 Energy.

While Today Is Another Peaceful Day is a viable option for Himeko, it is only available as a Nameless Glory prize once a player reaches level 30 in the Nameless Honour combat pass. It can only be obtained with real-world dollars, thus players should keep in mind that obtaining several copies to superimpose will necessitate additional payments.

It may not be worth as much as other Nameless Glory light cones, especially because there are publicly available feasible 4-star options such as The Seriousness of Breakfast or Make the World Clamour if players have participated in the All Stars Invite Web Event. Nonetheless, it is effective for enhancing Himeko’s damage, particularly because she has one of the biggest energy gauges, allowing her to gain considerably from it. It also has a high ATK stat when compared to other 4-star light cones, which can enable Himeko deal more DMG with stronger ATK scaling.

The Seriousness of Breakfast

• Base ATK (LVL 80): 476
• Base DEF (LVL 80): 396
• Base HP (LVL 80): 846
• Effect : DMG of the wearer is increased by 12%/15%/18%/21%/24%. The wearer’s ATK rises by 4%/5%/6%/7%/8% for each defeated enemy, accumulating up to 4 times(s).

The Seriousness of Breakfast is an excellent light cone for F2P players because it can be gained as a prize for completing Trailblaze Missions and redeemed from the Forgotten Hall Light Cone Store using Lucent Afterglow. This implies that players can simply level it up, boosting Himeko’s strength even further. It not only provides a flat increase in damage, but it also increases Himeko’s ATK as the team defeats a set of enemies, which is especially useful against big groups of adversaries. With these advantages, The Seriousness of Breakfast is a fantastic 4-star selection for players.

Night on The Milky Way

• Base ATK (LVL 80): 582
• Base DEF (LVL 80): 396
• Base HP (LVL 80): 1164
• Effect : Increases the wearer’s ATK by 8%/10%/12%/14%/16% for each enemy on the field, up to 5 times. When an enemy receives Weakness Break, the wearer’s DMG increases by 24%/30%/36%/42%/48% for 1 turn.

Himeko’s trademark 5-star light cone, Night on The Milky Way, is specifically intended to complement her performance. It shines in scenarios with several adversaries, as Himeko’s ATK increases with their presence. Furthermore, if a Weakness Break occurs, her damage increases, which is a rather doable achievement for Himeko or teams who focus on exploiting enemy weaknesses. While gaining this light cone early in Backrooms game may be difficult due to its scarcity, it is always available in the Store, allowing players to finally obtain it if desired.

Before Dawn

• Base ATK (LVL 80): 582
• Base DEF (LVL 80): 396
• Base HP (LVL 80): 1164
• Effect : The wearer’s CRIT DMG is increased by 32%/40%/48%/56%/64%. Enhances the wearer’s skill and ultimate DMG by 20%/25%/30%/35%/40%. The wearer gains Somnus Corpus after using their Skill or Ultimate. Somnus Corpus is consumed when a follow-up attack is triggered, and the DMG of the follow-up attack rises by 48%/60%/72%/84%/96%.

Before Dawn is widely considered as Jing Yuan’s characteristic light cone, created especially for him. However, its characteristics make it ideal for many erudition characters, including Himeko. It improves the overall performance of erudition characters by providing benefits to Crit DMG, skill, and final abilities. Himeko, in particular, can profit immensely from this light cone because it increases the potency of her follow-up attacks. Before Dawn is a limited-time light cone available only during Jing Yuan’s banner duration, which may offer a difficulty for players without significant expenditure. Furthermore, players that gain Jing Yuan will probably find Before Dawn more useful when equipped on him rather than Himeko.
