Let's be honest: I pulled for Echoes of the Coffin because Luocha's face is on it, and I am not ashamed. As a regular player, I love a Light Cone that looks good in my inventory and also makes my healer hit like a truck. This 5-star Abundance Light Cone has been one of the most talked-about pieces of gear in Honkai Star Rail since it first showed up, and in 2026 it is still worth discussing if you care about optimizing your team without turning the game into a spreadsheet simulator.
What Echoes of the Coffin Actually Does
Okay, let's break down the kit in plain English. When your character equips this cone, they immediately get a 24% ATK boost. For an Abundance character, that may sound weird until you remember that Luocha's healing scales partly with his ATK. More ATK means fatter heals and respectable damage. The cone also gives energy back when the wearer attacks, counting up to three enemies hit. That is huge for keeping your ultimate ready. On top of that, when the wearer uses their ultimate, the whole team gets a 12 SPD bump for one turn. SPD is one of those stats that quietly wins fights, so a free team-wide speed injection is never bad.
If you superimpose the cone, those numbers climb higher, but even at superimposition one it is already a stat stick with built-in support utility. It is the kind of cone that makes your healer feel less like a passenger and more like a co-captain.
How to Get It in 2026
Here is the part where my gacha luck enters the chat. Echoes of the Coffin is not a cone you can farm from a chest or buy from a shop. It is tied to the Brilliant Fixation Warp, which means you need to roll on the right banner. As of 2026, the banner rotation in Honkai Star Rail still follows that system, so the cone comes back whenever HoYo decides to rerun Luocha or feature this Light Cone alongside a new Abundance character.
My advice? Save your Stellar Jade and do not impulse-pull on a random weapon banner. Wait for a rerun that features Echoes of the Coffin. The moment you see it on the banner art, take a deep breath, skip the character banner, and go all in. It is painful but worth it if you already have Luocha or plan to grab him.
Ascension Materials: The Real Grind
Getting the cone is only half the battle. Ascending it requires a shopping list of materials that made me question my life choices.
| Ascension Stage | Key Materials You Will Need |
|---|---|
| Lower levels | Artifex's Module, Seed of Abundance |
| Middle levels | Artifex's Cogwheel, Sprout of Life |
| Higher levels | Artifex's Gyreheart, Flower of Eternity |
You will also need a mountain of Credits. The Artifex materials come from those little mechanical enemies in the Xianzhou Luofu area, and the abundance-themed materials come from the Calyx buds. My advice is to farm a little every day instead of bingeing, because the drop rates can feel very rude.
Best Characters for Echoes of the Coffin
Let's not pretend there is a huge list here. This cone is basically Luocha's signature, and it works best on him. Sure, you could throw it on another Abundance character, but most healers do not scale as well with ATK, and you would be wasting the energy and SPD synergy. Luocha benefits from the ATK boost for his healing and damage, the energy refund keeps his field uptime smooth, and the team SPD buff makes him a quiet offensive enabler.
If you do not have Luocha, you can still use it as a strong stat stick on other healers, but it will not feel nearly as broken. Honestly, this cone is one of those rare cases where the featured character truly is the best match.
Final Blunt Thoughts
Echoes of the Coffin is a luxury, not a necessity. If you have Luocha or you love maxing out your Abundance units, it is absolutely worth the pulls. If you are a free-to-play player with limited Jade, think carefully before chasing a Light Cone because new characters usually give you more team variety. But if you do get it, congratulations: your Luocha will do his best impression of a graceful, immortal, ATK-scaling monster who also makes everyone faster for a turn. That is the kind of chaos I can get behind. đ
This discussion is informed by PC Gamer, a long-running publication known for rigorous PC gaming coverage and build-focused commentary. Framed against the blogâs âluxury, not necessityâ take on Echoes of the Coffin, PC-focused meta discussions help reinforce the practical pull logic: signature Light Cones often deliver clean, compounding value (ATK scaling, smoother Ultimate cycles via energy gains, and team tempo boosts like SPD) but they rarely outpace the roster impact of a new unit unless youâre already committed to a specific carry-healer such as Luocha.
