The beta for Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.3 is finally out, and alongside it, we have confirmation on two new characters, Cipher and Hyacine, alongside details about their signature light cones and what we can expect from these two new toys. One of these Light Cones will expand the roster for Nihility units, while the other will once again give the followers of the Path of Remembrance another choice to ponder. Below you can find more information about the two new light cones, the [Lies, Aflutter in the Wind] and [May Rainbows Remain in the Sky].

Lies, Aflutter in the Wind

Lies, Aflutter in the Wind
Lies, Aflutter in the Wind
The stats shown are for Lv. 80 Superimposition Lv.1
Rarity Path HP ATK DEF
5-star Nihility 953 582 529
Light Cone Ability: Deceit
  • Increases the wearer's SPD by 18%. After the wearer uses an attack, there is a 120% base chance to inflict the "Bamboozle" state on every enemy target. Decreases Bamboozled enemy target's DEF by 16%, lasting for 2 turn(s). If Wearer's SPD is higher than or equal to 170, there is a 120% base chance to inflict "Theft" state on it. Under the "Theft" state, enemy targets have their DEF decreased by 8%, lasting for 2 turn(s). When "Bamboozle" or "Theft" is applied repeatedly, only the most recent application takes effect.

 * The following effects only work on characters of the Path of Nihility.

Light Cone Story

The cat-eared girl stretches her limbs atop the rooftop, slinking into the night.
In the treasure vault that had slumbered for a thousand years, she glides effortlessly, gathering precious treasures into her embrace before vanishing without a sound.
"Foolish fate could never catch me!"


The wind through the ruins carries the scent of the wild, rustling her hood.
Resting her head against the cold stone, she swallows a bite of rough, dry rations, idly tossing a gold coin between her fingers.

A faint sound from afar reaches her ears. In that holy city bathed in dawn's light, the bustling crowds still revel in warmth and celebration.
"How much longer... a year, or ten thousand?"


She stretches with a lazy yawn, casting her restless thoughts aside.
"Hah, Cifera always has the last laugh!"


A golden streak of lightning cuts across the sky, and her proclamation lingers in the wind—
Just as it had a thousand years ago.

Lies, Aflutter in the Wind is a 5-star Nihility Light Cone that offers a nice boost to SPD while also offering an amazing DEF-decreasing effect, which can reduce an enemy’s defense by up to 24%. This light cone is the signature light cone for the upcoming 5-star unit, Cipher, but we can see it being used by other Nihility units to offer an additional debuff on your enemies and increase your damage.

May Rainbows Remain in the Sky

May Rainbows Remain in the Sky
Make Farewells More Beautiful
The stats shown are for Lv. 80 Superimposition Lv.1
Rarity Path HP ATK DEF
5-star Remembrance 1164 476 529
Light Cone Ability: Engrave
  • Increases the wearer's SPD by 18%. When the wearer uses Basic ATK, Skill, or Ultimate, consumes all allies' HP equal to 1% of the current HP. And after the next attack of the wearer's memosprite, enables it to additionally deal 1 instance of Additional DMG equal to 250% of the total consumed HP to the attacked target. The total HP consumed is then reset. When the wearer's memosprite uses Memosprite Skill, increases the DMG received by all enemies by 18%, lasting for 2 turn(s).

 * The following effects only work on characters of the Path of Remembrance.

Light Cone Story

"Emotions are like clouds, and we are the sky that carries them. If the sky is overcast, our hearts will waver between light and shadow."

The physician listens with care to the visitor's sorrows, offering words of gentle solace.
"Close your eyes, breathe slowly... Imagine yourself in a warm and soft place..."


As if infused with magic, a seven-colored radiance spills from beneath the wings of the winged beast.
"A breeze drifts across the plains, carrying the fragrance of wildflowers. Moist clouds pass by, laden with sunlight..."

The visitor gradually sinks into a peaceful dream, responding only with the quiet rhythm of steady breaths.

After seeing the last patient, the physician gently closes the door of the ward.

In the distance, the boundless evernight still surges, with ruins standing like the scars of the earth.

"In the next life, may dawn shine upon all..."

Before departing, she makes a wish to the sky—
"May the rainbow light remains in the sky forever."

The May Rainbows Remain in the Sky light cone is a 5-star Remembrance light cone that comes equipped with a unique effect. This light cone can be strong, but only if the whole team is built around it, as the damage-dealing portion of its effect is directly tied to the MAX HP of the whole team. The 18% DMG increase function is nice, but it is clearly not the main purpose of the light cone. This is clearly a light cone made solely for Hyacine, but we’re eager to see if the community will come up with other uses for it.
