Is Cipher’s signature Light Cone worth pulling in Honkai Star Rail 3.3?

Alongside Cipher, her signature Light Cone will debut in the second phase of Honkai Star Rail 3.3. Like most signature weapons, the item can easily boost the Nihility unit’s fighting prowess. This helps Cipher become more effective in most team compositions and end-game activities. Since the item is quite new in HSR, Trailblazers might want to know if it is worth the Stellar Jades.

You should get Lies Dance on the Breeze only if you are getting Cipher during the second phase of Honkai Star Rail 3.3. Otherwise, it's better to skip the weapon.

Why should players pull for Cipher’s signature weapon in Honkai Star Rail 3.3?

Before jumping into the details on why you should do so, let’s take a look at the item’s unique effect:

“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. While under the "Bamboozle" state, enemy target's DEF decreases by 16% for 2 turn(s). If the wearer's SPD is higher than or equal to 170, there is a 120% base chance to inflict the "Theft" state on every enemy target. While under the "Theft" state, enemy target's DEF decreases by 8% for 2 turn(s). When "Bamboozle" or "Theft" is inflicted repeatedly, only the latest effect inflicted can be active.”

Since Lies Dance on the Breeze is Cipher’s signature weapon, the developers made the item while keeping the character’s kit in mind. When equipped, she can render the enemies vulnerable by placing unique debuffs on them. If you are getting Cipher in the second phase of Honkai Star Rail 3.3, this Light Cone is a must-have item.

Other Nihility debuffers can also use the weapon to some degree, but due to the high SPD requirement, they can't fully utilize its potential. Hence, it's better to skip the weapon and save your Stellar Jades for other units and their LCs.
