🔥 The Hell Where Ideals Burn: Archer’s Perfect Signature Cone
Archer’s signature Light Cone—The Hell Where Ideals Burn—is the standout offensive piece for any Hunt-path build. It supercharges his core playstyle with top-tier CRIT Rate and ATK stacking, seamlessly synced to his kit.
🌟 What Makes It So Powerful?
1. Elevated Critical Potential
Right off the bat, this Light Cone offers a baseline 16–32% CRIT Rate, giving Archer a strong critical foundation every match.
2. Huge ATK Boost with SP Condition
If your team enters combat with 6 or more max SP, Archer gains a massive 40–80% ATK boost right away—an effect his self-SP generation easily satisfies.
3. Skill Stacks for Continuous Ramp-Up
Each time Archer uses his skill, he gains +10% ATK (up to 4 stacks)—leading to a sustained damage ramp through the turn. Altogether, it’s up to +80% ATK potential.
🎯 Why It’s Built for Archer
Archer is a quantum Hunt character who uses Skill repeatedly in the same turn—making perfect use of every passive from Ideals Burn. His traces help ensure SP ≥6, letting the ATK buff trigger instantly. In short: this cone is tuned to his loop.
Game8 calls it “amazing for Archer since… the conditions for ATK bonuses are easily met by his kit alone.”
📅 How to Acquire It
- Available in the Fate/stay night collab during Honkai Star Rail 3.4, starting July 11, 2025.
- Unlockable by spending 200 Star Rail Special Passes during version 3.4 event warps (July 2–Aug 13)—and claimable once the collab banner starts.
That makes it both free-to-redeem (if you’re committed) and timely, aligning with Archer’s release.
🤝 Team Synergy & Alternatives
- Pair Ideals Burn best with SP‑gen allies like Sparkle, but still operates perfectly solo thanks to Archer’s design.
- If you don’t have it, strong alternatives include:
- In the Night (fast‑speed focused CRIT)
- Cruising in the Stellar Sea (F2P with kill‑based CRIT buffs)
- Sleep Like the Dead (CRIT DMG focus)
- Return to Darkness (4★ CRIT DMG + Skill buff)
But all of these fall short compared to Ideals Burn for Archer specifically—especially once superimposed.
💬 Bottom Line
If you’re fielding Archer on a Hunt SP‑heavy team, The Hell Where Ideals Burn is literally tailor‑made for him. It unlocks his full burst potential, stacking damage throughout your turn while ensuring high CRIT consistency.
Players with 200 Special Passes in 3.4 should absolutely secure it—it transforms Archer from strong to unstoppable.
