Dahlia E1 vs. Light Cone: Perfect breakdown of Trailblazer, Ruan Mei, and Boothill investment priority! 🚀
This video provides a detailed analysis of whether to pull for Dalia's first Eidolon or her signature Light Cone in Honkai: Star Rail, and the investment priority for Firefly, Ruan Mei, and Boothill. It presents a defense-ignoring setup to maximize the efficiency of the Break team and optimal investment strategies for each character.
1. ⚔️ Dalia's Signature Light Cone vs. 1st Eidolon Effect Comparison Analysis
- ✅ Signature Light Cone: Increases Break DMG for the wearer and their dance partner, and restores SP when using Ultimate. The Break DMG increase buff is very unique and highly efficient.
- ✅ 1st Eidolon: Provides Super Break DMG buff to the entire team, and increases Break DMG for the wearer and the main Break DPS.
- ⚠️ In version 3.8, a healer is not essential, so the overall Super Break DMG increase for the party is not significantly noticeable.
- ✅ The Super Break DMG increase for the main DPS and Dalia alone is valuable enough.
| Effect | Description |
|---|---|
| Signature Light Cone | Increases Break DMG, restores SP |
| 1st Eidolon | Super Break DMG buff, increases Break DMG |

2. ⏱️ Hidden Value of Dalia's 1st Eidolon: Fixed Toughness Reduction Effect
- ✅ The core value of Dalia's 1st Eidolon is the effect of reducing the enemy's maximum Toughness by 25% when the ally Break DPS or Dalia makes the first hit.
- ✅ Shortens the warm-up time until the first Break.
- ✅ Prevents situations where Toughness is slightly insufficient and Break does not occur when using a Break team.

3. 🎯 Efficiency Analysis of Dalia's 1st Eidolon by Character: Firefly, Boothill, Ruan Mei
- ❌ E0 Firefly: Even if you don't Break thanks to Dalia, follow-up DMG is applied, and the additional DMG increase is minimal even if you do Break.
- ⚠️ E2 Firefly: Can act again upon Break, so you can benefit from the fixed Toughness reduction effect of Dalia's 1st Eidolon, but the conditions for triggering the re-action are not difficult.
- ✅ Boothill & Ruan Mei: The Break itself makes a big difference because they are less dependent on Super Break DMG, and the fixed Toughness reduction effect of Dalia's 1st Eidolon is very significant.
- ✅ Boothill: Since a 2-stage attack is triggered upon Break, the effect of Dalia's 1st Eidolon is very important.
- ✅ Ruan Mei: Since stacks are used to increase DMG upon Break, Dalia's 1st Eidolon effect is significant in multi-target situations.
- ✅ It is better to get Boothill and Ruan Mei's 1st Eidolon before Dalia's signature Light Cone.

4. 🛡️ Precautions for Defense Ignoring Setup and Strategy for Utilizing Nihility Characters
- ⚠️ After Dalia, the Break team can easily exceed 100% Defense Ignore, so be careful with the setup.
- ✅ Even if you only equip the signature Light Cone when Firefly and Ruan Mei are at E1, it is easy to exceed 100% Defense.
- ✅ Only one of the Nihility characters, Gallagher or Dalia, can be used.
- ⚠️ The debuff of the Nihility Trailblaze Light Cone does not stack.
- ✅ To avoid exceeding 100% Defense, it is good to have a signature Light Cone for either Gallagher or Dalia.
- ✅ Of the Iron Cavalry Defense Ignore 20%, 10% is applied to all Break DMG, and 15% is applied to Super Break DMG.
- ⚠️ Super Break DMG is important for Firefly, so it is a loss if Defense Ignore is excessive.
- ✅ Firefly may benefit more from the signature Light Cone than the 1st Eidolon.

5. 💰 Firefly Investment Priority and Recommended Eidolon Line
- ✅ Firefly has the highest efficiency at E2, so invest in E2 after pulling Dalia.
- ✅ Invest in Dalia's Eidolon rather than Gallagher for E0 Firefly.
- ✅ Secure Gallagher E0 first for E2 Firefly.
- ✅ It is recommended to secure the Aventurine Light Cone from 8-cost.
- ✅ From 9-cost Dalia E2 is the realm of investment.
- ✅ My personal recommended Eidolon line is up to 7-cost.
06:28 - 07:10
6. 🛠️ Boothill Investment Priority and Setup Tips
- ⚠️ Boothill's signature Light Cone and E1 are not very good, so the investment priority is low.
- ✅ Securing Dalia and Gallagher E0 is important.
- ✅ Up to Aventurine Light Cone is the general efficiency range.
- ⚠️ Boothill's signature Light Cone and E1 both have Defense Ignore, making it difficult to use Sweat for both Gallagher and Dalia.
- ✅ Consider placing Gallagher slightly higher than other characters.
- ✅ Boothill's main DMG is not Super Break DMG, so it is okay to compromise even if the Iron Cavalry follow-up Defense Ignore is a bit excessive.
07:11 - 07:56
7. ✨ Ruan Mei Investment Priority and Setup Strategy
- ✅ Ruan Mei's signature Light Cone is better than Firefly or Boothill.
- ✅ Both Dalia and Gallagher are important, but if you have to choose one, start with Dalia.
- ✅ It is recommended to secure Ruan Mei E0 up to at least 4-cost.
- ✅ The recommended cost is exactly 7-cost up to 0-cycle.
- ✅ Ruan Mei is the most free character in the 100% Defense Ignore setup because almost no one has her at E1.
07:57 - 08:35
8. 🎯 Final Conclusion: Summary of Investment Priority by Character
- ✅ It is better to pull Firefly's signature Light Cone before Dalia's E1.
- ✅ It is advantageous to start with E1 for Ruan Mei and Boothill.
- ✅ Dalia's Eidolon is better in terms of planning for Firefly, but the signature Light Cone may be better considering the price and Light Cone situation.
