Top Light Cones for Ice Trailblazer in Honkai: Star Rail

Author: Jacob May 29,2025

If you're a fan of Honkai: Star Rail, you've likely encountered the Remembrance path, especially its role in the Simulated Universe for its ability to freeze enemies and control the battlefield. With the version 3.0 update, Remembrance has evolved into a playable character path, shifting its focus toward summoning units to the field—much like Jing Yuan's Lightning Lord. These summoned units bring a range of utilities, whether dealing damage or offering crucial support.

As the latest Trailblazer iteration joins the ranks as an Ice Remembrance character, their primary function revolves around charging their summon, Mem. Mem enables allies to deal True DMG while excelling in support by advancing an ally's actions and boosting their Critical Rate and Damage. This makes Trailblazer a pivotal support unit within this path. However, with this fresh path comes a scarcity of light cones that perfectly match the Trailblazer's kit.

Avoid focusing on damage-centric light cones like Sweat Now, Cry Less (4-star), Geniuses' Greetings (4-star), or Time Woven Into Gold (Aglaea's 5-star), as they fail to align with the Trailblazer's supportive nature. Instead, here are the best light cone options tailored specifically for Remembrance Trailblazer and why they excel in Honkai: Star Rail.


Victory In a Blink

The Best Support Light Cone for Remembrance Trailblazer

S5 Passive Increases the wearer's CRIT DMG by 24%. When the wearer's memosprite uses an ability on any ally target, increases all ally targets' DMG dealt by 16%, lasting for 3 turns.

The standout light cone for Remembrance Trailblazer is Victory In a Blink, freely available through the Light Cone Manifest Store in the Forgotten Hall. Its accessibility ensures players can easily acquire and max superimpose it, provided they have enough currency. Although increasing the Trailblazer's Crit DMG isn't crucial given their support-oriented role, the light cone's secondary effect—boosting all ally targets' damage output for three turns—is invaluable and synergizes flawlessly with Mem's support abilities.

Overall, Victory In a Blink stands out as the most resource-efficient and effective option for Remembrance Trailblazer among currently available light cones. For those who can't obtain it right away, there are two other viable alternatives, though they may fall slightly short in comparison.


Shadowburn

Best 3-star Rarity Light Cone for Remembrance Trailblazer

S5 Passive When the wearer summons memosprite for the first time in battle, recovers 1 Skill Point and regenerates 20 Energy for this unit.

While Shadowburn isn't a bad choice for Remembrance Trailblazer, it offers convenience by slightly speeding up battles. Its most significant advantage lies in recovering a skill point and generating Energy for Trailblazer when Mem is summoned for the first time. This effect proves especially useful in shorter battles or scenarios where efficiency is key, such as clearing within a limited number of turns. By accelerating Energy gain, Shadowburn helps Mem charge faster, allowing players to use Mem's abilities sooner.

However, its utility diminishes in longer battles or content spanning beyond 2–3 turns since its effect only triggers upon Mem's initial summon. In such cases, players might prefer more reliable light cone options. For quick clears, though, Shadowburn remains a solid choice.


Reminiscence

Best 3-star Rarity Light Cone for Personal DMG

S5 Passive When memosprite's turn starts, the wearer and the memosprite each gain 1 stack of "Commemoration." Each stack increases DMG dealt by 12%, stacking up to 4 times. "Commemoration" is removed from the wearer and the memosprite when the memosprite disappears.

If you lack access to higher-tier light cones or aim to enhance Mem's DMG, Reminiscence serves as a viable 3-star option. Unlike 4-star and 5-star light cones focusing on Basic ATK DMG or Crit Rate (which don't benefit Mem or Trailblazer), Reminiscence offers a DMG increase at a low cost.

Reaching full stacks takes up to four turns, with stacks accumulating separately for both the memosprite (Mem) and the wearer (Trailblazer). Thus, its full potential shines only in longer battles. Unlike Shadowburn, which provides immediate but fleeting utility, Reminiscence offers delayed but sustained benefits, making it ideal for drawn-out encounters. For players lacking better alternatives, it provides a modest yet worthwhile boost.
