Explanation

Sleep Like the Dead gives a guaranteed CRIT DMG to the wearer which is amazing. It also buffs the wearer's CRIT Rate if they failed to proc a CRIT Hit when using their Basic ATK or Skill (on a 3turn cooldown).

Due to Sleep Like the Dead's high base stats and CRIT DMG bonus, the Light Cone is great for any Hunt character currently in the game.

Is Sleep Like the Dead Worth It?

Not Worth to Use Undying Starlight

While Sleep Like the Dead is a great Light Cone, In the Night is slightly better in terms of DMG. Also, Cruising in the Stellar Sea is a solid F2P 5-star Light Cone for most Hunt characters.

Because of this, we do not recommend buying Sleep Like the Dead from the Starlight Exchange Store unless you're overflowing with Undying Starlight and you really have no other alternatives.

March and Boothill need disclaimers that while they can use this LC, it does not synergise with their popular break playstyles at all and should only be used for them in a crit configuration.
