The Finale of a Lie: Ashveil’s Signature Hunt Weapon
The Finale of a Lie increases the wearer’s CRIT Rate by 18%, and at the start of battle or for every 4 instances of Follow-Up ATK, the wearer gains “Umbra Devourer” lasting for 3 turns, which increases ATK by 40% and increases DMG taken by all enemies by 20%. This Light Cone perfectly synergizes with Ashveil’s execute-focused kit, enabling back-to-back deletions of priority targets.
The cone stacks exceptionally well with Ashveil’s “Bait” mechanic—mark an enemy, watch them suffer DEF reduction, and trigger devastating follow-up attacks. Every fourth follow-up attack refresh your “Umbra Devourer” buff, creating a feedback loop where continuous aggression becomes your damage amplification engine.
Elation Brimming With Blessings: Herta’s Shop Exclusive
This fresh Elation Light Cone offers an alternative path for players who prefer saving their Stellar Jade. Players can obtain Elation Brimming With Blessings from The Herta Store in the Simulated Universe by spending 8x Herta Bond, making it an accessible long-term investment. While its exact stats haven’t been fully detailed, Elation Light Cones typically amplify group-wide buffs and ally damage, positioning this cone as the go-to choice for Elation-focused team compositions.
This is perfect if you’re building an Elation stack team featuring characters like Yao Guang or future Elation units. The Herta Bond system lets you upgrade Superimposition levels affordably—each additional copy costs just 2x Herta Bond.

Light Cone Banner Schedule & Pulling Strategy
The Finale of a Lie will be featured in Brilliant Fixation from March 24, 2026 (UTC-5) to April 21, 2026, spanning the entire 4.1 duration. This extended availability gives F2P players and Welkin buyers ample time to secure Ashveil’s best-in-slot weapon without rushing pulls.
Pro Tip: Since Ashveil stays featured throughout 4.1, prioritize pulling his Light Cone in early phases. Phase 2 shifts focus to Boothill reruns, so front-load your Special Passes for The Finale of a Lie before April 8, 2026.
4-Star Light Cones: Hidden Gems This Patch
Shadowed by Night, Make the World Clamor, and Dream’s Montage appear in both phase banners with boosted drop rates. While not Ashveil-exclusive, these 4-star cones fill team gaps and offer solid stat breakpoints without competing for your rarest pulls.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is The Finale of a Lie worth pulling if I’m F2P?
A: Absolutely! As a 5-star signature weapon for a new character, it’s one of the best investments for F2P accounts. Ashveil without it is still strong, but the Light Cone transforms him into a damage deletion machine with consistent “Umbra Devourer” uptime.
Q: Can I get Elation Brimming With Blessings for free without pulling?
A: Yes! It’s the only Light Cone purchasable with Herta Bonds through the Simulated Universe shop, making it genuinely free for all players willing to farm Herta Store currency over time.
