Explanation
Return to Darkness is a 4-star Light Cone with decent stats. Its ability is unique since it has a small chance of dispelling a buff on a target enemy after a CRIT Hit. Return to Darkness also provides a guaranteed CRIT Rate buff to its wearer!
While the buff dispel looks useful in certain situations, its RNG factor is very limiting and you ideally want to buff your The Hunt characters' DMG instead!
Is Return to Darkness Worth It?
Not Worth it
While Return to Darkness has a unique ability, only claim it if you have nothing else to pick from the Nameless Honor Battle Pass.

Moze arguably fits better here than ratio since his attacks deal multiple hits to proc the dispel more reliably
