Back to All Characters
Kafka is a unique Nihility character that works around DoT inHonkai: Star Rail. For that, not every Nihility Light Cone can work on her and give her the stats and buffs she needs.
RELATED:Honkai: Star Rail – The Best Jing Yuan Light Cone
Since Kafka and her entire team will be ensuring every enemy is debuffed with DoTs and other effects, it’s good to give her a Light Cone that enhances her damage against debuffed enemies. Players can also use Light Cones which increases her general damage since she has so many ways of inflicting Lightning damage inHonkai: Star Rail.

After using Skill, the wearer’s next Basic ATK deals an additional DMG equal to 120% of ATK to the target enemy.
For players who don’t want to invest at all in Kafka’s build, Hidden Shadow is the least demanding choice since it’s a 3-star Nihility Light Cone that players can easily S5. For beginners, this Kafka weapon is a good start since it grants her the stats she needs and the extra little damage on her Basic ATK. However, even beginners should not use her Basic ATK, unless there are no Skill points left.

Passive
Increases the wearer’s Effect Hit Rate by 24%%. When the wearer deals DMG to an enemy that currently has 3 or more debuffs, increases the wearer’s CRIT Rate by 12%. After the wearer uses their Basic ATK, Skill, or Ultimate, there is a 100% chance to implant Aether Code on a random target that does not yet have it and was hit by the ability. Targets with Aether Code receive 12% increased DMG for 1 turn.
Incessant Rain works better on Nihility characters that take a more supportive approach by debuffing enemies to improve allies’ performance. As for Kafka, she’s a very offensive Nihility unit that has her entire team built around her to pop all their DoTs and deal as much damage as possible through these DoTs. For that, Incessant Rain should not be the first choice of Light Cone forKafka inHonkai: Star Rail.

Increases Break Effect dealt by the wearer by 32%, and increases their DMG to enemies afflicted with Shock or Wind Shear by 32%. This also applies to DoT.
Fermata offers slightly less effectiveness than Eyes of the Prey performance-wise for Kafka. However, given that players can easily S5 Fermata, it’s better to go for it than S5 Eyes of the Prey. The F2P 4-star Light Coneincreases Kafka’s Shock damageand grants her better Break Effect damage.
Increases the wearer’s Effect Hit Rate by 20% and increases DoT by 24%.
Since Kafka’s kit is all about inflicting enemies with Shock and exploding their DoT, Eyes of the Prey isa great weapon for her inHonkai: Star Rail. The 4-star Light Cone increases her DoT alongside improving her Effect Hit Rate, which is important for Kafka to be able to apply more DoTs. At S5, Eyes of the Prey is on par with In the Name of the World, a 5-star Light Cone that Kafka can perform well with.

After the wearer uses Basic ATK or Skill, deals Additional DMG equal to 48% of the wearer’s ATK to a random enemy that has been attacked.
One thing battle pass weapons suffer from is how hard it is to get their superimposition. At S1,We Will Meet Again is a decent Light Cone for Kafka, but doesn’t come close to other S5 4-star Light Cones like Eyes of the Prey or Fermata.
Increases the wearer’s DMG to debuffed enemies by 24%. When the wearer uses their Skill, the Effect Hit Rate for this attack increases by 18%, and ATK increases by 24%.
In the Name of the World isa decent 5-star Light Cone inHonkai: Star Rail. Kafka can take advantage of all that the Light Cone offers, from Base Stats to the buffs provided by the passive. If players don’t have Patience Is All You Need, this 5-star Light Cone is a very close alternative.
For every debuff the target enemy has, the DMG dealt by the wearer increases by 12%, stacking up to 3 time(s). This effect also applies to DoT.
Having a damage increase on enemies inflicted with DoTs is amazing for units that can further benefit from the DoTs, which is the case for Kafka. Good Night and Sleep Well Light Cone easily grants Kafka a huge amount of extra damage since her team should revolve around continuously debuffing enemies. At S5, this 4-star Light Cone is on par with Patience Is All You Need, damage-wise.
Increases DMG dealt by the wearer by 24%. After every attack unleashed by the wearer, the wearer’s SPD increases by 4.8%, stacking up to 3 times. If the wearer hits an enemy target that is not affected by Erode, there is a 100% base chance to inflict Erode on the target. Enemies afflicted with Erode are also considered to be Shocked and will receive Lightning DoT at the start of each turn equal to 60% of the wearer’s ATK, lasting for 1 turn.
The Patience Is All You Need Light Cone is Kafka’sbest weapon inHonkai: Star Rail. Other than the decent Base stats the Light Cone grants, Kafka’s BiS Light Cone also grants a great passive that speeds up Kafka’s turn and inflicts an extra DoT on enemies that Kafka will eventually pop with her Skill.Honkai: Star Railis now available on Android, iOS, and PC. A PlayStation version is in development.
