Aventurine’s signature Light Cone in Honkai Star Rail, is undoubtedly his best pick, considering it is tailored to improve every aspect of his abilities. Dropping with a whopping 661 DEF at max level, this LC helps him with powerful shields. On top of the base stat, the passive also provides a 40% DEF increase and further boosts the wearer’s CRIT DMG by 40% when they deploy a shield on an ally.

When Aventurine launches a follow-up attack, there is a 100% chance to amplify the DMG taken by the target by 10% lasting for two turns. This will benefit him in the battle since he has decent damage output built into his kit.

Consider using Moment of Victory for your Aventurine build in Honkai Star Rail. Although this Light Cone does not benefit his sub-DPS playstyle, it can easily empower his shielding ability.

The passive increases the wielder’s DEF by 24% and Effect Hit Rate by 24%. The character will also have a higher chance of being targeted by enemies. Since you will build Aventurine with a lot of DEF stats, he should be able to tank the majority of the incoming damage.

Moreover, the LC will increase his defense by an extra 24% upon taking a hit. This further strengthens his barriers, which in turn increases the sustainability of the entire team.

The 3-star Light Cones are quite weaker than their premium counterparts. Hence, you should avoid using them for end-game builds.

However, newcomers can consider picking up Amber to build Aventurine, as it can boost his DEF by 16%. The Light Cone will further increase his defense by the same amount when his HP gets lower than 50%.
