How to Get Golden & Silver Companion Spirit and Light Cone Memory Shard in Honkai: Star Rail
New Character Dupes System in Honkai: Star Rail 3.2
In Honkai: Star Rail, each character can be upgraded with up to six Eidolons. Once you reach this cap, additional pulls (commonly referred to as “E7s”) become redundant and only reward 100 Undying Starlight, which is equivalent to five pulls. However, with the arrival of Version 3.2, HoYoverse introduces a new system to make E7s more meaningful: Golden Companion Spirit, Silver Companion Spirit, and Light Cone Memory Shards.
These new items can now be exchanged for 5-star characters and Light Cones, making future duplicates far more rewarding for players who continue pulling after maxing out their favorite characters.
What Are Golden and Silver Companion Spirits?
There are two key types of Companion Spirits:
- Silver Companion Spirit
- Golden Companion Spirit
Whenever you obtain a seventh Eidolon (E7) for a 5-star character, instead of receiving just Undying Starlight, you will now get a Silver Companion Spirit. Two Silver Companion Spirits can be converted into one Golden Companion Spirit.
This offers a reliable way to accumulate meaningful currency just by playing and pulling characters, even if you hit the Eidolon cap.
How to Get Silver Companion Spirit
- Pull an E7 (duplicate of a maxed 5-star character)
- One E7 = One Silver Companion Spirit
Obtain two Silver Companion Spirits and you’ll be able to combine them into one Golden Companion Spirit, which is the key to unlocking select 5-star characters.
How to Get Golden Companion Spirit
Besides combining Silver Companion Spirits, there are other methods to obtain Golden Companion Spirits:
- Free Reward in Version 3.2: All players can receive one Golden Companion Spirit for free.
- Cherished Recollection Event (Spenders): Spend 18,000 Oneiric Shards to earn another Golden Companion Spirit.
Where to Use Golden Companion Spirit
To redeem a 5-star character:
Go to Store > Stellar Convergence > Character Redemption
The current roster of available characters (Version 3.2) includes:
- Ruan Mei
- Luocha
- Himeko
- Clara
- Bronya
- Welt
- Gepard
- Yanqing
- Bailu
These characters span different Paths and Elements, providing great flexibility for team-building.
What Is the Light Cone Memory Shard?
The Light Cone Memory Shard is another new item introduced in Version 3.2. It works similarly to Companion Spirits but is focused on 5-star Light Cones, the game’s powerful weapons.
How to Get Light Cone Memory Shard
There are two primary sources for this item:
1. Cherished Recollection Event (Spenders)
- Spend 8,000 Oneiric Shards to obtain four Light Cone Memory Shards.
2. Battle Pass Rewards
- Reach Level 10 in the Battle Pass (paid version) to obtain one Light Cone Memory Shard.
- Upgrade to Nameless Medal for an additional Shard.
Where to Use Light Cone Memory Shard
To redeem your shards:
Go to Store > Stellar Convergence > Light Cone Redemption
Note: There is no expiration or time limit on using these shards, so you can accumulate them and take your time selecting the best Light Cone for your team composition.
Why This System Matters
Prior to 3.2, pulling E7 characters or Light Cones offered diminishing returns, making it a poor value for players investing in banners. With this update:
- E7s now have meaningful value.
- Players can slowly work toward selecting 5-star characters or weapons of their choice.
- Whales and free-to-play players alike benefit from long-term rewards.
The Silver and Golden Companion Spirits and Light Cone Memory Shards offer more freedom and transparency for Trailblazers. No longer does an unlucky E7 feel like a waste — now, every pull counts.
Final Thoughts
Honkai: Star Rail’s 3.2 update adds substantial improvements to the gacha system by turning overpulls into progress toward new 5-star units or Light Cones. These changes show HoYoverse’s willingness to enhance player satisfaction without changing the core gameplay loop.
Whether you’re a spender or a free-to-play Trailblazer, the new currency system is a win across the board. Be sure to check your in-game Stellar Convergence store to start planning your next big upgrade!
