Honkai Star Rail Lucent Afterglow is obtained from the Forgotten Hall and Echoes of War. These areas are unlocked at various stages in the game. The Forgotten Hall is unlocked after completing the mission "Fleeting Lights" upon reaching Trailblaze Level 21. 

Echoes of War, on the other hand, are unlocked after completing the mission "In the Dangerous Muddy Swamp" upon reaching Trailblaze Level 25. Only the first Echo of War (Supply Zone) will be available at first, but after completing Jarilo-VI, the second Echo of War (Everwinter Hill) will become available. Unfortunately, Echoes of War can only be challenged three times a week.

Honkai Star Rail Lucent Afterglow is used to obtain Light Cones. Players can speak with the Parlor Car Messenger to browse the menu of available Light Cones. It should be noted that this Messenger will not appear if you have not yet unlocked the Forgotten Hall. 

Each Light Cone costs 200 Lucent Afterglow, and the following items are available:

  • Quid Pro Quo
  • Fermata
  • We Are Wildfire
  • River Flows in Spring
  • Past and Future
  • Woof! Walk Time!
  • The Seriousness of Breakfast. 

Because Lucent Afterglow is very difficult to come by, it is recommended to take a little extra time before making any purchase using this rather rare currency. Due to the limited availability to farm Echoes of War and the steadily increasing difficulty of the Forgotten Hall, players will likely not be in abundance of Lucent Afterglow. They will only be able to pick up one of these Light Cones periodically. 

Take a look at your current team composition and decide who will benefit from each Light Cone the most. Each Light Cone in the Light Cone Manifest shop is tied to one of the seven Paths, meaning if you have one character of a specific Path in dire need of a Light Cone, the choice becomes that much easier!

And that's everything you need to know about Lucent Afterglow in Honkai Star Rail!
