Explanation

Past and Future has decent base stats since it's a 4-star Light Cone. When the wearer user their skill, Past and Future allows the wearer to increase the DMG of the next ally taking action.

With this, Past and Future is a solid Light Cone for most Harmony characters as long as you SPD tune them to act after the DPS.

Do note that you do not need to SPD tune Bronya to trigger the ability of this Light Cone since her Skill allows an ally to immediately take action!

Is Past and Future Worth It?

Great for Most Harmony Characters

Past and Future can be bought from the Forgotten Hall's Light Cone Manifest Store, making it a great F2P choice for Bronya and other Harmony characters.

At S5, the DMG bonus it provides is at 32%, further increasing the effectiveness of your DPS when used correctly. With this, we highly recommend buying Past and Future!

if you keep bronya or sparkle in mind, your dps can have more turns that way. For example: Jingliu takes her turn before Bronya, and after her Bronya uses her skill on Jingliu, action forwarding Jingliu to act again instead of in the next cycle and buffing her damage.

"With this, Past and Future is a solid Light Cone for most Harmony characters as long as you SPD tune them to act after the DPS." Why? wouldn't it make sense to have the harmony character act before the DPS, so that the next ally taking action is the DPS?
