4-star Gallagher Light Cone, Path, and abilities explained
Gallagher will be a 5-star Fire Abundance character, a brand-new combo of Path and Light Cone. Intended to be a dedicated damage dealer, Gallagher’s kit includes multiple ways to dish out pain while also packing some healing and debuffing.
As expected, Gallagher scales quite a bit off of ATK, so much so that it could be worth prioritizing pure ATK relics over ones that boost CRIT. Gallagher also makes use of a unique debuff called Besotted. Besotted enemies heal attacks and increases Break DMG, which could set up either an ally’s break or his own. He can also reduce enemy ATK after burning his Ultimate. Between that and his healing, Gallagher looks like a relatively selfless damage character meant to compliment a second attacker.
Based on his abilities, Gallagher’s best Light Cone will probably be Echoes of the Coffin, a 5-star Abundance weapon. Good alternatives include Quid Pro Quo due to its high base ATK and Post-Op Conversation for its healing buff.
Gallagher release date set for Honkai Star Rail 2.1
Hoyoverse has not confirmed Gallagher’s release date, but he will most likely drop on Mar. 20 for the Honkai: Star Rail 2.1 update. He is expected to appear on either Archeron orAventurine’s Warp. As a 4-star, he will be relatively easy to pull multiple Eidolons. His first two increase Effect RES and Energy at the start of battles and make his Skill remove a debuff, increasing his versatility as a support.
