Honkai Star Rail Blade Tier List – All Light Cones Ranked

Just pulled Blade and not sure which light cone to use? Well, that’s exactly the problem this Honkai Star Rail Blade tier list aims to help with. In this guide, I rank all of the light cones from S tier, with S being the best and D being the worst. I’ll go into more details about the specific tiers later on in this guide.

Honkai Star Rail is the latest game in the Honkai series by HoYoverse, who you may know best as the makers of Genshin Impact. You board the Star Rail Express and head out on an adventure across a variety of different worlds. Along the way, you meet a bunch of different characters that you can add to your party and take on more challenging adventures.

You can learn more about Honkai Star Rail on the official website. I’ve also put together a Honkai Star Rail Silver Wolf tier list, Honkai Star Rail Luocha tier list, and Honkai Star Rail Jing Yuan tier list.
