Recommended Characters for Brighter Than the Sun
Imbibitor Lunae

Explanation

Brighter Than the Sun is Imbibitor Lunae's best in slot because it gives him an ATK and Energy Regen buff when using his Basic ATK, which is Imbibitor Lunae's main source of DMG. The Light Cone also provides Imbibitor Lunae with an increase in CRIT Rate from the get-go, a stat that is always needed for DPS units!

Is Brighter Than the Sun Worth It?

Great For Imbibitor Lunae

Given that it is Imbibitor Lunae's signature Light Cone, there is no doubt that it will be a great Light Cone for him. Aside from the CRIT Rate it provides, it also gives ATK% and Energy Regeneration when the character uses their Basic ATK which is Imbibitor Lunae's bread and butter.

This makes Brighter Than the Sun perfect for Imbibitor Lunae and other Destruction characters who mainly use Basic ATKs so they can easily use the buffs it provides!

Should You Pull?

Brighter Than the Sun's DMG easily outranks any other Destruction Light Cones that Imbibitor Lunae can use. An S5 On the Fall of an Aeon, Imbibitor Lunae's second-best Light Cone, is weaker compared to Brighter Than the Sun at S1.

If you have Imbibitor Lunae and have some Stellar Jades to spare, then Brighter Than the Sun is an amazing Light Cone to pair with him.
