When your memosprite dies, the ability boosts up your ATK gets boosted up by 12%. This effect only triggers once, with the trigger count resetting with every ultimate.
Synergy: The Light Cone is made just for Castorice. She is from Remembrance, and has great DPS. She summons her memosprites for doing AoE damage and doing debuffs. It also goes well with Mydei's summon focused kit, but goes best with Castorice's HP scaling mechanics.

Stats: It has a base ATK of 635 at level 80, a base DEF of 396, and a base HP of 1,058. It also boosts the damage of the Ultimate by 24%, and normal damage by 24%.
Ability: It increases your CRIT damage by 36% and also inflicts empty bubbles upon the enemies whenever you hit them. The effect lasts for a single turn, but can be used for every single target, for every attack that you do.
Synergy: Archeon goes the best along with this Light Cone. It boosts up her Ultimate by stacking buffs on it, and Nihility debuff synergy when there are supports like Jiaoqiu. It also supports Welt when it comes to SPD control.
Life Should Be Cast to Flames (5-Star, Erudition) - Anaxa's Signature
Stats: Has a base ATK of 582, base DEF of 529, and a base HP of 952, all being at level 80. When your turn starts, it regens energy. When the target gets damaged by you, it decreases their DEF by 12% for 2 turns

Synergy: Built for Anaxa, an Erudition DPS who excels in AoE damage. Also works for Himeko or Argenti in Break-heavy teams but loses most of its impact without Anaxa.
Baptism of Pure Thought (5-Star, The Hunt) - Dr. Ratio
Stats: Has a base ATK of 582, DEF of 529, and HP of 952, all at level 80.

Those Many Springs (5-Star, Nihility) - Jiaoqiu's Signature
Stats: With a base ATK 582, DEF of 529, base HP of 952, at level 80.
Ability: At level 5, the ability Boosts boosts the Effect Hit Rate by 100%. After you use a basic attack, skill, or Ultimate to attack, there is a 60% chance you leave the enemy "Unarmored".

Conclusion
Honkai: Star Rail's Version 3.2 adds Light Cones which completely redefine your team's potential. Along with Castorice's and Acheron's as the top picks- for their high DPS boosts, Anaxa's is also a strong choice. Skip Jiaoqiu's Light Cones unless you use their best set ups. You should hoard Jades to get S Tier banners, and should farm them, while using your Oneiric Shards for extra pulls. Choose wisely, and let these Light Cones light up your game.
