Before Dawn

The 5-star Light Cone Before Dawn is Qingque's best Light Cone. It significantly boosts her skill and ultimate damage by 18% and her critical damage by 36%. After she uses an ultimate or skill Before Dawn additionally bestows Somnus Corpus, which increases the damage of her follow-up strike by 48% when consumed. For players who wish to optimize Qingque's damage output, Before Dawn is an excellent option for the Erudition DPS Characters due to its skill and ultimate buff.

For Qingque, the Before Dawn Light Cone is the best option, especially if her Eidolon is at Level 4 (E4). By addressing Qingque's Crit DMG weakness, this light cone lets you equip a CRIT Rate Relic for a more balanced stat build. Before Dawn also gives her an 18% increase in skill and ultimate DMG, but the follow-up attack buff is exclusive to E4 Eidolon. The Before Dawn Light Cone can be found in the Bygone Reminiscence Warp Banner until March 26, 2024.
