A Thankless Coronation: Stats and Unique Effect in Honkai Star Rail
As mentioned, A Thankless Coronation is the signature 5-star Light Cone of Saber in Honkai Star Rail. It is designed to bring out the most out of this new Fate Stay Night collab character and can currently be summoned from the warp banners of version 3.4.
Let’s look at the stats and the unique effect of this Path of Destruction Light Cone in the game at level 80:
- HP: 952
- DEF: 529
- ATK: 582
The unique effect of this Light Cone is called King of Knights and offers the following benefits:
“Increases the wearer’s CRIT DMG by 36%. When using their Ultimate, increases the wearer’s ATK by 40%, and if the wearer’s Max Energy is greater than or equal to 300, regenerates a fixed amount of Energy equal to 10% of the wearer’s Max Energy and once again increases the wearer’s ATK by 40%, lasting for 2 turns.”
The Light Cone is capable of buffing Saber’s Crit DMG and ATK stats significantly to deal increased damage. Furthermore, it can also regenerate Energy for her to ensure she can use her Ultimate often.
