Lingsha in Honkai Star Rail: Build Guide and Best Teams

In HSR, Lingsha is a skilled healer, able to weaken enemies with a negative status that increases the break damage they receive, and deal damage outside of her turn with the summoned creature Fuyuan. In combat, the girl focuses on restoring the health of allies and inflicting fire DPS on all enemy targets.

The Vidyadhara is a support healer in all squads, but she will reveal her full potential in specific teams whose mechanics are tied to break effect or bonus attacks. With the right choice of allies and equipment, the dragon lady will help to clear difficult levels of some endgame content.

Hero's story

Lingsha is a skilled Vidyadhara healer, a native of Luofu Xianzhou and the new Cauldron Master of the Alchemy Commission. She was formerly known as Dan Zhu, but after her master was exiled due to a political conflict, she followed her and took a new name.

The girl has deep knowledge in the field of medicine, and with the help of a unique sense of smell, she is able to detect diseases and calm the mind with special incense. Regardless of the situation or the difficulty of communicating with other people, she always remains calm and even in moments of anger, she is able to maintain complete composure.

How to Get the Character

Lingsha can be dropped in the limited-time Event Jump: Character banner, available 15 January to 5 February 2025, in the first half of the 3.0 update.

If you don't want to miss the next Lingsha rerun, we recommend you follow the updates in our banner schedule.

Features

Ascension increases base attack power, defense, and health, while speed and taunt remain unchanged. The value of each stat is presented in the table below.

How Lingsha's Skills Work

Lingsha is a heroine of the Path of Abundance, who, in addition to healing all allies, is able to weaken enemies and deal good damage in the area. During the battle, she summons the hare Fuyuan, which is a separate member of the squad with its own speed and actions.

The summoned creature is a bonus attack performer that not only deals damage, but also removes debuffs and additionally heals allied characters. In the following paragraphs, we will tell you in more detail how the heroine's abilities work and analyze the leveling sequence. We will consider traces and eidolons separately.

Active skills

Passive Skills

Leveling Order

Super Ability > Talent > Skill > Basic Attack

All skills except basic attack are recommended for leveling. When resources are scarce, first priority is given to the superpower, which spreads healing and damage, as well as to the talent, which allows you to heal and deal damage with a bonus attack. In addition to this, the ult applies the "Befog" debuff, due to which enemies get more break damage.

The Skillperforms similar functions: mass healing and damage. Although the multipliers are lower, the skill is also used to summon Fuyuan or advance its action. The Basic attack is only needed to restore energy and skill points, so increasing its level will not bring much benefit. However, if you want the heroine to continue to make an impact in battle, upgrade the normal strike as well.

Traces

When all hidden talents are unlocked, the stat increase will be:

• break effect - 37,3%;
• health - 18%;
• attack power - 10%.

Eidolons

All consts:

The best Eidolons of Lingsha are the first and the sixth ones:

• E1 - allows you to quickly deplete the stamina bar of all enemies, and the eidolon is also extremely useful in squads that play from the mechanics in question, for example, in synergy with Firefly.
• E6 — increases damage dealt to enemies by reducing their resistance to all elements. At the same time, the talent's bonus attack deals additional damage.

F2P players are recommended to stop at E1. E2 is only beneficial if the heroine will act as a support for damage dealers who specialize in reducing enemy toughness.

How to Play Lingsha in HSR

The gameplay is focused on summoning and maintaining Fuyuan on the battlefield, which is a separate squad member and is considered a bonus attacker. The summoned creature not only deals damage, but also heals all allies and removes debuffs. Initially, it has 3 actions, which are restored by the skill (maximum - 5). Thus, it is important to ensure that the actions do not run out and periodically use the skill.

During combat, the healer will primarily prioritize her basic attack to generate skill points and gain energy, as a normal attack will fill the gauge in the same way as a skill due to the trace. For this reason, Fuyuan's main method of progression is through her super ability, and her passive healing is provided by her bonus attack. However, the skill is still an important skill for instantly healing allies or dealing additional damage.

Let's take a closer look at Lingsha's rotation, providing some general recommendations:

1. Always try to engage in combat after using the technique. This will cause Fuyuan to appear at the start of the battle and apply the negative status "Befog" to all enemies for 2 turns.
2. When it's the heroine's turn, use basic attack unless there is an urgent need for healing or the summoned creature has actions remaining. Otherwise, activate the skill.
3. Usual combination: 2 basic attacks and a skill. This will allow you to charge your ult, saving skill points for your team. However, if your main DD is not too "gluttonous" and you need more stable passive healing, then alternate between basic strike and skill.
4. The super ability can be used not only for mass healing, but also for weakening enemies with "Befog", as well as increasing the assistant's action by 100%.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Let's take a closer look at the pros and cons of the healer for the Alchemy Commission in Xianzhou.

Best Lingsha Builds in Honkai: Star Rail

Lingsha acts as a healer, a secondary source of DPS and partly a debuffer. During combat, she consistently heals allies, applies the "Befog" debuff, and also deals fire AoE DPS with active skills and a bonus attack. Based on the features of the heroine's mechanics, we will highlight the following priority characteristics in the build:

• Break effect — one of the most important parameters due to the trace, which converts this stat into ATK and outgoing healing. As a result, damage increases along with healing effectiveness.
• Speed - needed to maintain the creature with a bonus attack on the battlefield and emergency healing, as well as to generate skill points and energy through the use of basic attack.
• Outgoing Healing - has a direct impact on the effectiveness of the distributed heal.
• ATK — this parameter scales healing and damage, so it is needed for the character to clearly perform her functions. However, where possible, preference is given to break effect.
• Energy recharge - Allows you to consistently activate the super ability to weaken enemies, heal and advance the assistant's action by 100%.

Despite the fact that the healer is capable of dealing damage, this is usually not a priority task in the context of combat. However, if you want to increase your own DPS outside of the main mechanics of depleting stamina (if other important characteristics are not in short supply), you can look for crit. mass in the sub-stats. In the points presented below, we will analyze Lingsha's build in HSR in more detail.

Recommended Stats

The main stats recommended for artifacts:

As additional stats, we recommend considering:

• speed;
• break effect;
• ATK;
• HP, defense and resistance to effects;
• crit rate and dmg are optional.

Stats that are recommended to strive for when reaching character level 80:

• EP: 100% - minimum; 200% - to get the full buff from the "Vermilion Waft" trace; 250% - when using the "Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge" set.
• ATK: 2+.
• Speed: 151/160+ (at a lower rate, bonuses to speed during combat or the ability to advance the action are desirable).
• Health: 3-000+.
• DEF: 800 and more

How to gain 200% break effect

This stat has a significant impact on the heroine's potential, since with the first trace it increases DPS and outgoing healing. Let's look at how this stat can be increased:

• Leveling of traces - 37,3%.
• 2x2 Relic Combination with "Watchmaker, Master of Dream Machinations" or Thief of Shooting Meteor, and also the Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge - 16%.
• Planar ornaments Talia: Kingdom of Banditry — 36% or Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern - 40%.
• Light cone What Is Real? — 48% (S5) or the signature cone "Scent Alone Stays True" — 60% (S1).
• Ruan Mei - 20% (trace "Inert Respiration").
• Imaginary MC - 52,5% (150% break effect, E4, ult lvl 10).
• "Watchmaker, Master of Dream Machinations" on the support of the Path of Harmony - 30%.
• Link rope - 64,8%.

Total increase: ~304,6%-320,6%.

Please note that we list all the available sources of break effect, and this does not take into account sub-stats or factors such as character availability and build selection. For this reason, items can be adjusted or excluded depending on the situation.

Light Cone Rating

When considering a weapon, pay attention to the Path it belongs to. In this case, the character requires Abundance for the passive to work. Among the bonuses, the following are recommended: break effect, attack power, healing bonus, energy recovery speed or buffs for allies.

The signature "Scent Alone Stays True" is the optimal and one of the best light cones, which will perfectly fit into any builds and situations due to the available buffs. Alternative weapon "cards" are similarly presented in the table below.

Light cone	Effect	Recommendation
Scent Alone Stays True ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 48-1058 ATK 24-529 DEF 24-529	Increases break effect by 60-100%. After the character uses a super ability to attack enemies, they are inflicted with the Woefree status for 2 turns. Enemy targets in this state receive 10-18% more damage. If the owner's break effect is higher than or equal to 150%, then the damage received by the enemy increases by an additional amount. 8-16%.	Signature Light Cone provides the largest increase to break effect among the available weapons, which will make it much easier to reach 200% of the stat and allow you to get the max. buff from the trace. In addition to this, if you use the ult on enemies, a universal negative status is applied, which increases the damage received by targets.
What Is Real?  ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 48-1058 ATK 19-423 DEF 15-330	The character's break effect is increased by 24-48%. Basic attacks restore 2-4% health and an additional 800 units.	Free and also one of the most suitable 4* light cones. In addition to the signature, only this weapon affects break effect, and given its availability, you can increase the final bonus to the maximum value. In addition, when the heroine makes a basic attack, she restores some health to herself, which will provide more of her own survivability.
Night of Fright ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 53-1164 ATK 21-476 DEF 24-529	The rate of energy recovery increases by 12-20%. When one of the team members activates the ultimate, the health of the ally with the lowest HP percentage is restored by 10-14%When the wearer heals any ally, their attack power is increased by 2,4-4%The effect stacks up to 5 times and lasts for 2 turns.	Superpower is an important skill that contains beneficial options for the team. Due to this, the frequency of its activation will positively affect the effectiveness of the healer, which makes energy regeneration a beneficial stat. Cone also increases ATK when she heals, and passively heals the lowest-health ally.
Echoes of the Coffin ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 52-1164 ATK 26-582 DEF 18-396	The wearer's attack power is increased by 24-40%. After dealing damage, for each enemy hit by the attack, the 3-5 energy. The effect can be triggered up to 3 times. After using the ultimate, the speed of all allies increases by 12-20 within 1 turn.	An excellent weapon with an ATK bonus, which is an equally important stat. Energy is restored for each enemy that receives damage. Considering that the healer deals damage to the area with almost all skills, she activates the bonus without any problems. Another "plus" is the increase in squad speed after activating the ult.
Dream's Montage ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 19-423 DEF 18-396	Increases SPD by 8-12%. After attacking an enemy with a broken vulnerability, restores 3-5 owner's energy. This effect can trigger up to 2 times per turn.	An optimal cone that increases speed and also provides additional energy if you hit an enemy with a broken weakness. All this has a positive effect on rotation and timely use of the ult. Considering that the heroine consistently deals damage with each ability and in most cases plays in squads that specialize in breaking through, she will be able to constantly activate the passive.
Post-Op Conversation ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 48-1058 ATK 19-423 DEF 15-330	The character's energy recovery speed increases by 8-16%. When the superpower is activated, outgoing healing is increased by 12-24%.	An epic version of a weapon aimed at increasing the speed of energy recovery. The passive allows for a much more stable activation of the superpower, but is not limited to this. When using the ult, the heroine will receive a bonus to outgoing healing, which will increase the effectiveness of HP regeneration for allied characters.
Quid Pro Quo (S5) ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 19-423 DEF 18-396	At the start of the turn, the weapon carrier restores 8-16 energy to a random ally (except yourself) whose current energy is less than 50%.	A F2P variant that is primarily useful for the squad and is a good alternative to the previous cones. The heroine will not receive any personal benefit from the equipment, but will be able to restore up to 16 energy to one team member on a stable basis at the beginning of her turn, which is a valuable support effect.
Multiplication (S5) ⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 14-317 DEF 9-198	After making a basic attack, the next action advances by 12-20%.	An optimal light cone of three-star rarity with an action advance when performing a basic attack. The enhancement will allow you to act much more often, respectively, more actively use the skill or restore skill points for allies. All this together has a positive effect on the character's effectiveness in battle.
Shared Feeling ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 19-423 DEF 18-396	Increases the character's outgoing healing by 10-20%. After using the skill, it restores all team members 2-4 energy.	Offers a passive boost to outgoing healing and grants some energy to the entire party each time the healer activates the ability. Since the bonus is granted not only to allies but also to the healer herself, this light cone will be a universal solution if there is a lack of energy to activate the super ability in a timely manner.
Time Waits for No One ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 57-1270 ATK 21-476 DEF 21-463	Increases max health by 18-30% and outgoing healing 12-20%. When a character heals allies, the healing done is recorded. When a party member attacks, one random enemy will receive additional damage based on the wearer's element, which is 36-60% from stored outgoing healing. The extra damage is not affected by other buffs and is calculated once per turn.	The healer gets more survivability from her health, as neither her DPS nor her heal scale with HP. However, the cone directly buffs outgoing healing and has a high base ATK. Another nice feature is the ability for allies to deal additional damage with fire.
Hey, Over Here ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 19-423 DEF 18-396	Owner's Max HP increases by 8-12%. When using the skill, outgoing healing is increased by 16-28% for 2 turns.	A free "card" that increases the heroine's health, as a result, making her less vulnerable due to a larger HP reserve. In addition, using the skill will increase outgoing healing. The healer periodically uses the skill to advance the assistant's action, deal damage and instantly heal, so she can adjust the rotation and activate the buff every 2 turns.
Perfect Timing ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 19-423 DEF 18-396	Increases resistance to effects by 16-32% and outgoing healing on 33-45% from effect resistance. Outgoing healing can be increased to a maximum of 15-27%.	A good option when equipping the planar set of "Broken Keel", as an additional way to increase resistance to effects. The characteristic itself is also useful, since it will allow you to avoid negative statuses, such as control, with a higher probability. In turn, SE will have a positive effect on the effectiveness of healing due to the passive.
Warmth Shortens Cold Nights ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 48-1058 ATK 16-370 DEF 18-396	Max. health increases by 16-32%. Performing a basic attack or skill restores health to all allied heroes equal to 2-4% of their max. HP.	The health boost will allow the healer to take more incoming damage, especially if the weapon is at max stacking level. At the same time, the cone additionally heals all allies when using a basic attack or skill. So even if the normal attack is preferred, there is no need to worry about the team's HP dropping significantly.
Trove of Marvelous Treasures (S5) ⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 12-264 DEF 12-264	When a character activates a skill and ultimate, their outgoing healing is increased by 12-24%.	An acceptable option in the early stages of the game. Offers a healing bonus when the healer uses a skill or ultimate. Both abilities are aimed at restoring the health of allies, which means the heroine fully realizes the passive effect.

What relics and ornaments are needed

Artifacts, like weapons, should be aimed at developing her healing abilities, i.e. increasing break effect, ATK or giving a healing bonus. In addition, sets with speed and energy recovery are useful.

Cavern relics

Name	Effects	Recommendation
Thief of Shooting Meteor   Watchmaker, Master of Dream Machinations Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge + Messenger Traversing Hackerspace	2 parts: Increases break effect by 16%. 2 parts: Increases speed by 6%.	An optimal combination that will provide a 16% increase to break effect, as well as increase the speed for a more comfortable and consistent rotation (or fulfill the requirement for Talia: Kingdom of Banditry). A balanced combination that allows you to achieve the required values ​​of priority stats.
Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge	2 parts: Increases break effect by 16%. 4 parts: break damage ignores 10% of enemy defense if break effect is equal to or higher than 150%. When break effect exceeds 250%, super break damage dealt ignores an additional 15% of defense.	Possible and quite strong gear for a hybrid build, where the healer focuses on increasing her own DPS. However, healing still remains one of the key tasks, so the main stats do not change. It is also worth noting that the full potential of the set can only be unlocked in squads that specialize in depleting stamina, if there is a source of boosting super break, such as: the Imaginary MC.
Thief of Shooting Meteor	2 parts: Increases break effect by 16%. 4 parts: Increases break effect by 16%. When the character penetrates the enemy target's weakness, gains 3 energy.	Alternatively, a full set of break effect with a final stat increase of up to 32% will do. An additional advantage will be an energy bonus if the enemy's toughness is broken, which in most cases is helped by a bonus attack. Can be used if there are parts with the required parameters or with a significant deficit of break effect.
Passerby of Wandering Cloud	2 Piece: Increases outgoing healing by 10%. 4 Piece: At the start of the battle, restores 1 action point to the team.	A set that is potentially suitable for any healer. In addition to directly increasing outgoing healing, equipping the set gives the ability to restore a skill point at the beginning of a fight. Thanks to this, it will be possible to use the skill with fewer losses in the first cycle.
Passerby of Wandering Cloud Messenger Traversing Hackerspace	2 Piece: Increases outgoing healing by 10%. 2 parts: Increases speed by 6%.	Instead of break effect, you can give preference to a direct increase in outgoing healing. This will also allow the heroine to perfectly cope with her task as a healer and keep her allies' health high, but will have less impact on her own DPS.
Passerby of Wandering Cloud Musketeer of Wild Wheat	2 Piece: Increases outgoing healing by 10%. 2 parts: Increases attack power by 12%.	Relics containing stats that affect the effectiveness of a character's healing (and attack power is also useful for damage). If the required amount of break effect is collected using external sources or sub-stats, this option is available and will prove to be no worse than the previous set combinations.
Musketeer of Wild Wheat	2 parts: Increases attack power by 12%. 4 parts: Increases the character's speed by 6% and his basic attack damage by 10%.	A set that is equipped for the first time or as a main set if the characteristics are optimal. It offers an increase in ATK and speed, which is useful in any situation. Increasing the damage of the basic attack is also no less beneficial, since the heroine uses it to obtain skill points.
Eagle of Twilight Line	2 parts: Increases wind damage by 10%. 4 parts: After using the ultimate, action advances by 25%.	A specific option for those who prefer to experiment and want to realize the character on a different level. In this case, the emphasis is on increasing the number of actions, which allows you to activate the skill more often at certain checkpoints of the cycle in endgame modes, for example, Forgotten Hall. Recommended only with a clear understanding of the sequence of the heroine's turns, in particular, taking into account the action advancement by 25%.

Planar ornaments

Name	Effects	Recommendation
Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern	2 parts: Increases speed by 6%. When the character deals damage to a target with weakness to the fire element, break effect increases by 40% for 1 turn.	Provides an increase to one of the most important stats. And if the speed is always given, then to get break effect it is necessary that at least one enemy has fire vulnerability. Thus, the set is placed either under certain enemies, or in combination with Firefly.
Talia: Kingdom of Banditry	2 parts: Increases break effect by 16%. Provided that the speed is 145 or more, the character's break effect is further increased by 20%.	Another set with break effect. The total increase in the parameter is 4% lower and there is no bonus for speed. However, in terms of implementation, the set is more versatile and only requires achieving a certain speed indicator. The option is less situational, but loses under equal conditions.
Fleet of the Ageless	2 parts: Increases HP by 12%. Provided that the character's speed is at least 120, the attack power of all party members increases by 8%.	A set aimed at strengthening the team. The healer herself only receives a health boost, which increases her survivability - healing or damage are not buffed in any way. But she is given the opportunity to increase the ATK of all allies if the heroine's own speed is not lower than 120.
Broken keel	2 parts: Increases status resistance by 10%. If the character's status resistance is 30% or more, the critical damage of all party members increases by 10%.	Support set with an increase in crit dmg, which is more profitable in regular squads not from the exhaustion of tenacity. There may be difficulty with resistance to effects, since this parameter is not in the traces. If 20% is not collected in sub-stats, it is recommended to put the "Perfect Timing" cone.
Penacony, Land of the Dreams	2 parts: Increases energy recovery speed by 5%. Increases damage of an ally who owns the same element as the wearer by 10%.	This Planar set is revealed when combined with a fire damage dealer, such as Firefly, Topaz, or Himeko. Passively provides energy for more comfortable use of the ultimate and will also increase the DPS of a teammate who wields the same element type.
Sprightly Vonwacq	2 parts: Increases energy recovery speed by 5%. Provided that the character's speed is 120 or higher, the action is instantly advanced by 40% at the start of battle.	Like the previous set, it helps fill the superpower scale faster. In addition, if the heroine's speed is 120 units, at the beginning of the battle she will have a high chance of going first in order to immediately advance the assistant's action with a skill or restore a skill point with an attack. It shows itself especially well at a speed of 160 and higher.
Lushaka, the Sunken Seas	2 parts: Increases energy recovery speed by 5%. If the owner is not the first character in the team, the attack power of the first character increases by 12%.	A versatile and easy-to-use energy restoration set. Suitable for strengthening any DPS characters. To activate the second part of the passive, it is important to put the main DD on the first slot in the squad, and place the healer in any other place.

Team Guide for Lingsha in HSR

In a team, Lingsha plays the role of a healer and supports the survivability of allies. In addition, she can act as a secondary damage dealer and debuffer. As a follower of the Path of Abundance, she is in demand in many compositions, but is best revealed in:

• Break teams. The healer applies the debuff called "Befog", which increases the damage from mechanics, and also quite well reduces toughness with her abilities.
• Bonus attack teams. In this case, the heroine personally benefits from the mass buffs that are usually present in such groups. At the same time, she helps with additional AoE DPS.

Best team samples

Using the characters presented above, the following teams can be set up:

Character 1	Character 2	Character 3	Character 4	Features
Firefly Boothill Rappa	Ruan Mei Tingyun	Imaginary MC Fugue	Lingsha	A squad focused on wearing down enemy toughness and then dealing high damage. Ruan Mei and Harmony MC/Fugue are perfect for this build due to their buffs in all active abilities. The healer not only heals, but also applies a debuff with her ultimate, increasing the damage of the mechanic.  In the case of Rappa, you can optionally replace Ruan Mei with Tingyun, since the scientist's superpower prolongs the state of a broken vulnerability, which complicates the collection of charges of the ninja talent. In turn, the fox will increase DPS, ATK and restore energy, which will be no less useful for Rappa.
Acheron	Pela Cipher	Jiaoqiu Welt	Lingsha	Acheron is a strong damage dealer who needs Nihility heroes on E0 to work the Abyss trace. Pela, as a universal debuffer, does her job optimally and lowers the defense of all enemies with her ultimate. Another key support is Jiaoqiu, one of the best partners for the Galactic Ranger. However, they can be replaced, for example, by Cipher or Welt.
Doctor Ratio Feixiao Yunli	Robin	Topaz Moze Jade	Lingsha	A group built on constantly carrying out a bonus attack, and the support in this case is selected in such a way that the main DDs consistently receive useful buffs. Robin is an ideal buffer in such a squad, as is Topaz, who acts as a secondary source of damage. Jade with AoE DPS or Moze, who enhances the bonus attack, are also good choices for the sub-DD role.
Kafka	Black Swan Sampo Guinaifen	Ruan Mei Asta	Lingsha	A DoT team led by Kafka. The Stellaron Hunter instantly activates all damage over time effects, so other heroes with similar mechanics are usually placed next to her. For example, she is ideally combined with Black Swan, but alternatives will do as well. It is advisable to choose a Harmony character with mass buffs that affect all allies.
Imbibitor Lunae Jing Yuan Argenti	Sparkle Sunday Robin	Tingyun Hanya	Lingsha	Hypercarry squad. The support characters in question are versatile and can be used with any main DD. However, it is worth considering the characteristics of each damage dealer. For example, Argenti and Jin Yuan need stable energy regeneration, which is why Tingyun and Sunday are good partners with them. The Imbibitor consumes a lot of skill points, so Sparkle is a good choice for him.
Jingliu Blade	Bronya Sunday	Pela Clara Yunli	Lingsha	A group with damage dealers who are good in hypercarry builds or in combination with other damage dealers. Both main DDs will benefit from Bronya or Sunday as support, providing skill progression and increasing overall damage. Pela is aimed at weakening enemies by reducing defense, and Clara or Yunli will take the position of sub-DD and tank.
Seele Yanqing	Sparkle Ruan Mei Asta	Silver wolf	Lingsha	A team with Path of the Hunt and Silver Wolf, which allows you to ignore the vulnerability of one enemy with the help of the skill. Since it creates a weakness based on the elements present in the squad, it is recommended to use supports of the same elements. The healer, in turn, will also be able to implement the debuff and help by inflicting additional damage with a bonus attack.
The Herta	Jade Serval Herta	Tribbie Ruan Mei Robin	Lingsha	A team with The Herta, who needs an Erudition character, as this will strengthen not only her, but also the rest of the squad. The optimal addition to the build will be a buffer/debuffer, giving useful effects or weakening enemies. In addition, it is worth noting that the heroine values ​​allies who can accumulate stacks of "Interpretation" with their attacks.
Aglaea Castorice	Sunday	Tribbie Ice MC	Lingsha	A squad where the main damage dealer is Aglaea or Castorice together with their memosprites. Sunday and the Remembrance MC will perfectly complement the build due to the fact that they specialize in supporting characters that summon creatures. You can also use Tribbie to spread buffs to all allies.

It is also important to mention budget builds that include free and epic characters:

Character 1	Character 2	Character 3	Character 4	Features
Xueyi Hook Serval	March 7 Hunting Asta	Imaginary MC	Lingsha	A team with characters that are great at draining the stamina bar. Support is aimed at bringing benefits not only with buffs, but also with damage. The optimal units for such a group will be March 7 Hunt and the Remembrance MC, as they directly increase break effect. However, other buffers will do instead.
Sampo	Guinaifen Luka	Tingyun Hanya	Lingsha	DoT Team. Sampo is presented as the main DD, although those who are in the second position are also capable of playing a leading role. All heroes interact well with each other, consistently imposing DoT statuses. Harmony support increases overall DPS, ATK and provides other necessary bonuses.
Dan Heng Sushang	Ice MC Tingyun	Herta Pela March 7 Preservation	Lingsha	A squad with damage dealers fighting against single targets. They can be joined by one support with buffs, for example, the Remembrance MC or Tingyun. The build will be complemented by a sub-DD with area damage, a debuffer or another character with defensive functions. The choice depends on the opponents or the content that needs to be completed.
Physical MC Arlan Misha	Yukong Pela Qingque	Asta Hanya	Lingsha	A team with representatives of Destruction. They can play as a hypercarry build with buffers/debuffers or, if necessary, combine with another damage dealer. For example, Qingque can help in dealing auxiliary damage both in an area and in a solo-target thanks to her mechanic of jade tiles.

Is Lingsha worth getting?

Lingsha is a healer with a variety of functions. She is able to heal, debuff and deal good area damage, providing support to allies in many ways. Her main feature is in the summoned creature - Fuyuan. The assistant is a bonus attack and resembles Topaz's Numby or Jing Yuan's Lightning Lord. This creature acts as a passive source of healing, damage and allows you to remove debuffs from all allies.

As a support character, the heroine is a versatile unit that will fit into most builds and bring significant benefits. However, her mechanics are conducive to interaction with certain types of heroes. For example, the negative status "Befog" increases the damage received by enemies from the destruction of tenacity, and the girl herself receives a lot of benefit from break effect. Do not forget about Fuyuan, who deals damage throughout the fight.

Based on this, the healer should be pulled for, if you:

• Need a support healer for break teams, for example, with Firefly, if Gallagher is missing, or he is not leveled up.
• Need to supplement the squad with a character capable of consistently dealing damage with active skills or a bonus attack. In particular, this is beneficial for Feixiao.
• Are missing a second healer to clear "Forgotten Hall" or need a support with AoE DPS for "Pure fiction".

The heroine cannot be called irreplaceable in all the above cases, but it should be said that she fulfills the tasks for 100%. As for the build, there are many budget alternatives as equipment, and eidolons are not mandatory. The main difficulty is that for full disclosure, not only ATK, healing bonus and speed are required, but also a significant amount of break effect.

Lingsha or Gallagher E6: Character Comparison

Lingsha and Gallagher have similar mechanics that are in demand in specific builds. In this regard, the question arises - is it worth leveling the dragon girl if you already have Gallagher on your account? Let's compare the two characters based on their key abilities. Considering that the bartender is an epic hero, he has to have all of his eidolons.

Conclusion: Lingsha, being a legendary event hero, is more convenient and stronger than Gallagher in many ways. However, the difference between them is not that significant, especially if the bartender is fully leveled and has all the eidolons. In this case, from the point of view of optimal resource distribution, it is more expedient to obtain Lingsha's lightcone for him to further enhance his potential. However, it is obvious that if you want and can invest in the heroine, a squad with her will show itself better in any case.

Which is better: signature or E1

Signature Cone "Scent Alone Stays True" is a versatile choice that will suit any team or situation. Even at the initial awakening level, the weapon provides 60% break effect, which is very important for the character. In addition, it increases the damage received by the enemies.

E1 will be more beneficial in teams focused on depleting stamina: after the scale is completely depleted, the opponents' defense decreases, and the healer herself gets the opportunity to deplete the stamina bar faster. All this will be in great demand in such groups.

Achievements

There is one achievement associated with the character:

• Marshmallow Rabbit - use Lingsha to keep Fuyuan on the field until victory. Reward: star jade ×5.

We hope our Honkai: Star Rail guide helped you put together the best build for Lingsha. Feel free to ask any questions about the character if you have any so that the author or other players can help.
