The best Light Cone for Luka in Honkai Star Rail is Good Night and Sleep Well. This Light Cone bases damage dealt by the wearer on an enemy’s number of debuffs. This effect also applies to DoT, stacking up to three times.

However, if you want a 5-star option, we suggest using In the Name of the World, which can be purchased from the Starlight Exchange Store for 600 Undying Starlight.

In terms of a 4-star option, Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat is arguably another great option for Luka. This Light Cone has a chance to Ensnare enemies and also reduce their DEF by 12%. It can be obtained from both the Character as well as Light Cone Event Warp.

Luka is a DoT character in Honkai Star Rail. Therefore, his best partners in the game are Kafka, Silver Wolf, and Luocha. In this team, Kafka enables Luka massively, while Silver Wolf debuffs enemies and Luocha provides the heals.
