Honkai Star Rail Luocha: Best Build Guide

Luocha in HSR, being a legendary character, adheres to the Path of Abundance, in teams takes the role of a healer and attacks opponents with an imaginary type of damage. The main feature of the character is his talent zone "Cycle of Life", which is created after receiving two charges of the "Abyss Flower".

While the area is active, every time an ally deals damage to enemies, they are healed for a certain amount of health. For this reason, the unit becomes increasingly important in teams whose mechanics are built around absorption and HP consumption (own and/or allies').

Otherwise, the hero, who is represented as a "traveling merchant" in the game, is considered a top-tier unit and has the typical functions for a representative of Abundance: good mass and target healing in active and passive ways, the ability to remove various types of debuffs from the team, and also to get rid of enemy buffs.

Hero's story

First appears at the beginning of the Trailblazing story on Xianzhou Luofu and introduces himself as a traveling merchant, citing business as the purpose of his visit to the Flagship. However, it is difficult to understand whether he is telling the truth or lying: the true intentions of the mysterious man remain a secret until the very end. On the merchant's back there is always a coffin, which, according to his confessions, was a gift from an old acquaintance, who sent him to Luofu, having bound him with an oath.

In conversations, the man often mentions demons, the church, and illness. In the distant past that the merchant lived through, people would form groups and try to climb higher to watch their city fall. One day, someone asked him: "Why are you still wearing clothes from your home world?"To this the man replied: "It reminds me of the path I have to take.".

The hero's storylineis revealed in his personal companion mission "A Knight Stranger".

How to Get the Character

At the moment, there are two ways to add the hero in question to your collection of legendary characters.

Event Warp: Laic Pursuit

The banner from which you can get Luocha is called "Laic Pursuit". First of all, the hero can be obtained after launching this "Warp".

If you don't want to miss Luocha and other limited characters' reruns, keep an eye on our banner schedule.

Stellar Convergence: Character Redemption

Additionally, 5⭐ units can be purchased in the in-game store Stellar Convergence for 1 Golden Companion Spirit.

Features

The main basic characteristics of the character are HP, attack power and defense. Speed ​​and taunt remain unchanged throughout the entire leveling. The exact parameters of each indicator are presented in the table:

How skills work

The Abundance's abilities are aimed at providing support to the team in the form of restoring health, removing negative effects from allies and positive bonuses from enemies. Dealing damage is not a strong point, but the ultimate will be useful in some situations for high break of imaginary vulnerability.

The ability to passively heal turns the character into a support that is not demanding of action points, and the powerful HP restoration by active skills and the area from "Abyss Flower" allows for cooperation with DPS representatives who play from consuming and/or absorbing health. First of all, these are Quantum Castorice, Imaginary Mydei and Wind Blade.

The activities that the traveling merchant can cover are extremely extensive: the hero will become an excellent support in clearing "Pure Fiction", "Apocalyptic Shadow" and "Forgotten Hall". In addition, the character will allow you to easily clear high-level stages of branch modes of the Simulated Universe using the corresponding bonuses and blessing cards.

Active skills

The character's active skills include:

• technique - when entering battle, activates the effect of the talent;
• basic attack - deals damage to the selected enemy;
• skill - restores the health of the selected ally, additionally, if during the battle the ally loses a significant percentage of health, heals him without spending action points;
• ult - Deals massive damage, removing buffs from attacked targets.

In the following sections, we will go into more detail about the description of each ability, and also consider the hero's eidolons, hidden talents, and the order of skill upgrades, so that you can understand which skills you can save on upgrade materials.

Passive Skills

The healer's passive abilities include the talent, which when activated creates a special area on the battlefield, otherwise known as "the zone".

Leveling Order

Talent ≥ skill > ult > basic attack

The talent is the key link that is responsible for the effectiveness of the character's healing. The Skill is an additional source of health restoration, as a result, both skills are recommended to be leveled side-by-side with each other. If there is a shortage of resources, priority is first given to "Cycle of Life", an after that to "Abyss Flower".

The main purpose of superpower is to remove buffs from enemies and deal massive damage. Due to the fact that the ult ascension does not affect the effectiveness of removing the positive bonus, and third-party DPS is not a key mechanic of the Abundance representative, "Death Wish" is leveled after talent and skill. In turn, basic attack is only needed to restore action points and is rarely used.

Traces

All traces of the legendary unit:

Total increase in characteristics will be:

• attack power - + 28.0 %
• health - + 18.0 %
• defense - + 12.5 %

Eidolons

All consts of the follower of Abundance:

Luocha's best eidolons are the first, second and sixth ones:

• E1 — makes the character not only a healer, but also a buffer who can increase the attack power of allied heroes, which will be useful for most representatives of DPS classes.
• E2 — increases the hero's outgoing healing or places a shield on an ally depending on the amount of HP of the ally on which the skill effect is triggered. Despite the fact that the shield from Cleansing Revival cannot compete with the defensive effects of Preservation units in terms of toughness, it can still delay the sudden death of a team member. It will be especially useful in high-level modes, where incoming damage may be distributed unevenly.
• E6 — the ability to weaken opponents by reducing their resistance to any type of damage is added to the functions of the healer and buffer. Thus, at the time of receiving the constellation Reunion With the Dust the hero becomes a universal unit, capable of partially satisfying the need in three directions at once.

How to Play Luocha in HSR

The Intergalactic Trader skill restores health to one ally, the skill also works immediately if the ally's HP drops below 50%. At the same time, using the skill and super ability allows you to accumulate the charges of "Abyss Flower". After receiving two levels of the named status, a special "zone" is created.

Whenever a team member attacks an enemy that is within the zone, they are instantly healed for a certain amount of health. Thus, Luocha's rotation boils down to consistent application of the "Abyss Flower" and "Death Wish". As a result, for the full disclosure of the character within the framework of battles, we recommend adhering to the following rules:

1. At the beginning of the battle, use the technique Mercy of a Foolto instantly activate the talent "Cycle of Life" and create a zone that will passively heal allies when they attack enemies.
2. When it's the character's turn, use basic attack (especially if you need to restore action points and the team's health is at an acceptable level).
3. If one of your allies has a low HP percentage, use the skill Prayer of Abyss Flower, to not only heal, but also to get 1 level of "Abyss Flower".
4. Remember that when two charges are reached, a "zone" is created, within which allies' attacks heal them. In turn, if you have the hidden talent Sanctified, while using attack skills, the entire team will restore health.
5. Depending on the battlefield situation, either use the skill twice or combine the skill and basic attack/superpower to keep the zone in the arena at all times. Since the unit only has the skill as an active healing ability, this sequence will effectively maintain the survivability of the group.
6. Try not to use the ultimate unnecessarily, especially in situations where the "zone" is active. The reason is that when the zone is active, the "Abyss Flower" charges do not accumulate.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Best Luocha Builds in Honkai: Star Rail

When selecting equipment for the character, consisting of a light cone and cavern/planar relics, emphasis should be placed on the development of the following characteristics:

• ATK — the amount of health restored to allies, as well as the damage inflicted by the basic attack and super ability, depends on the increase in this indicator;
• healing bonus - increases the overall efficiency of HP restoration;
• speed - affects how often the hero can make a turn and use active skills (can be accelerated to extreme parameters thanks to sets of artifacts, which will allow generating action points and maintaining the team's health at a high level);
• energy recharge - Allows you to accumulate energy faster to activate your ultimate skill.

The main role of the character is healing allies, at the same time he is able to deal damage in an area with the help of the ultimate skill. However, the latter is only a pleasant addition and expansion of functionality. In the support position, the wandering merchant plays much better, therefore, the priority build of Luocha in HSR should not be concentrated on increasing damage, this is inappropriate. However, due to active skills and healing scaling with attack power indicator, the hero will, one way or another, increase his personal DPS.

Recommended Stats

The main indicators that are recommended to look for in cavern relics and planar ornaments:

The priority regarding additional characteristics is based on:

Speed ≥ATK (%) > defense/HP (%) > Effect RES

Optimal stat values ​​when reaching hero level 80:

• HP — 3 and more;
• defense — 800 and more, being a non-priority characteristic;
• ATK — 2-400 and more;
• speed — 134 / 143 / 160;
• energy recharge — 119.4% with a link rope.

Light Cone Rating

When choosing a weapon, give preference to the Abundance Light Cones, which will provide the character with attack power, an increase to healing and energy recharge:

Light cone	Effect	Recommendation
Echoes of the Coffin ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP: 52-1 164 ATK 26-582 DEF 18-396	ATK is increased by 24-40%. After making an attack for each enemy hit, energy is restored by 3-5 - This effect can be triggered up to 3 times. After using an ultimate, the speed of all allies increases by 12-20 for 1 turn.	The character's signature fully matches its mechanics, providing everything necessary. The bonus to attack power will not only allow for more effective healing, but will also increase outgoing damage. The weapon also offers the ability to restore energy for enemies hit by attacks, which will allow the ultimate to be used more often. An additional increase in speed during combat, in turn, will have a positive effect on the course of the battle.
Night of Fright ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP: 53-1 164 ATK 21-476 DEF 24-529	Energy recovery rate increases by 12-20%. When one of the team members uses an ultimate, they restore 10-14% health of the ally with the lowest HP percentage. When the owner heals any ally, that ally's attack power will be increased by 2.4-4% - This effect can stack up to 5 times and lasts for 2 turns.	A light cone that steadily increases the rate of energy recovery, allowing you to use the ultimate more often, which will have a positive effect on the support zone from the talent. Additional bonuses are offered to the team: after using an ultimate by any team member, the most exhausted ally is healed, and after the healing is triggered, the attack power is buffed.
Quid Pro Quo (H5) ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 19-423 DEF 18-396	At the start of his turn, the owner recovers 8-16 energy to a random ally other than the owner whose current energy is below 50%.	It is purchased from the Light Cone shop, making it a free piece of equipment that can be upgraded to max superimposition level in a short period of time. Although the "card" in question does not provide any buffs to the wearer, it does help random allies regenerate energy faster, which can be extremely effective in certain groups.
Perfect Timing (H5) ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 19-423 DEF 18-396	Increases resistance to effects for 16-32% and outgoing healing on 33-45% from resistance to effects (max. up to 15-27%).	The hero has certain problems with survivability, so he will benefit from increasing resistance to effects. The weapon also combines well with the talent "Through the Valley", which gives a 70% chance to avoid control. The bonus to outgoing healing from the effect resistance value, in turn, can be implemented extremely effectively if the character is equipped with a set of planar ornaments. Broken KeelThis combination will significantly accelerate the unit's recovery properties.
Shared Feeling ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 19-423 DEF 18-396	Increases the wearer's outgoing healing by 10-20%. After using the skill, restores all allies 2-4 energy.	While the overall increase to outgoing healing is not that high, it is given without any conditions. Additionally, the light cone offers the ability to restore a small amount of energy to the entire team after using the skill.
Post-Op Conversation ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 48-1058 ATK 19-423 DEF 15-330	Increases energy recovery by 8-16%. Additionally increases outgoing healing when using the ultimate on 12-24%.	The character's ultimate is considered inexpensive in terms of energy cost (100). Thanks to the bonus to energy recovery, it will be possible to maintain the buff on the increase in healing within the rotation of skill + 2 basic attacks.
Multiplication (H5) ⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 14-317 DEF 9-198	After using a basic attack, the next action advances by 12-20%.	An attractive loadout option that can be used to favor more frequent moves. It is used in the early stages, as well as during later gaming, provided that the hero's primary tasks do not sag.

In addition, the unit can be equipped with the following weapon options:

• Time Waits for No One (Legendary) - an alternative that increases health and outgoing healing, and will additionally allow you to support the team with third-party "recorded" damage.
• "Hey, Over There!" (Free Epic) - Offers HP and healing bonus boosts. The latter bonus will force you to activate the skill every two turns, which can be costly in terms of action points.
• Fine Fruit (rare) and Cornucopia (rare) - budget equipment for beginners.

What relics and ornaments are needed

Cavern relics and planar ornaments, in turn, must have characteristics that increase healing and attack power. Alternatively, you can consider sets that provide increases to energy and speed recovery. The latter is especially important if you want to increase this indicator to 160 and higher.

Cavern relics

The set is	Effect	Recommendation
Messenger Traversing Hackerspace Sacerdos' Relived Ordeal	2 parts: Increases speed by 6%. 2 parts: Increases speed by 6%.	A combination of two sets, aimed at increasing the speed of the healer, and, as a result, more frequent actions within the battle. As for the increases in attack power to increase overall healing - ATK is gained through "upper/lower" parameters and other equipment.
Messenger Traversing Hackerspace Passerby of Wandering Cloud Musketeer of Wild Wheat / Prisoner in Deep Confinement / The Wind-Soaring Valorous / Hero of Triumphant Song	2 parts: Increases speed by 6%. 2 parts: Increases outgoing healing by 10%. 2 parts: Increases attack power by 12%.	An alternative option made up of 2×2 sets, which can increase both speed and outgoing healing along with attack power. The choice, in turn, is based on the needs of the character, that is, if, for example, healing is low, it is worth giving preference to the bonus to healing + ATK.
Musketeer of Wild Wheat	2 parts: Increases attack power by 12%. 4 parts: Increases speed by 6% and basic attack damage by 10%.	A great starter set that can be equipped early in the game and then worn later on until parts of more desirable sets are found.
Passerby of Wandering Cloud	2 parts: Increases healing done by 10%. 4 parts: Instantly restores 1 skill point at the start of the battle.	A universal set for any healer. It is interesting because if you have four parts, it immediately gives 1 skill point to the entire team after entering the battle. This will be especially useful if you did not use the "Mercy of a Fool" technique before the battle, and you need to gain the "Abyss Flower" level as quickly as possible. However, other allies also benefit from this.

Planar ornaments

The set is	Effect	Recommendation
Broken keel	2 parts: Increases status resistance by 10%. If status resistance is greater than or equal to 30%, all allies' critical damage is increased by 10%.	The best option for planar ornaments, aimed at increasing the wearer's survivability and an additional positive bonus to allies' critical damage. Will make the most profitable combination when equipped with the "Perfect Timing" light cone (S5).
Lushaka, the Sunken Seas Penacony, Land of the Dreams Fleet of the Ageless	2 parts: Increases energy recovery speed by 5%. If the owner is not the first character in the party, the attack power of the first character increases by 12%. 2 parts: Increases energy recovery rate by 5%. Increases damage dealt by allies of the same type as the owner by 10%. 2 parts: Increases Health by 12%. When Speed ​​reaches 120 or more, all allies gain an 8% bonus to Attack Power.	An alternative option that offers increases to energy recovery. Additionally, if the conditions are met, it offers third-party bonuses to teams, so it is recommended to choose depending on the needs of the team or the main DPS unit of the group.
Space Sealing Station	2 parts: Increases attack power by 12%. When speed reaches 120 or higher, additionally offers a 12% increase to attack power.	Another optimal option among planar ornaments due to the significant bonus to attack power. Since the hero can accelerate his speed to 120 with the help of equipping speed boots, you can easily get the maximum increase to ATK in the form of 24%.
Tree of Deep Thoughts	2 parts: increases speed by 6%. If the speed is greater than or equal to 135/180 unit, the outgoing healing of the owner and their memosprite is increased by 12/20%, respectively.	An additional option that increases the hero's speed indicator, which will allow him to make more frequent turns in the battle cycle. It will be especially useful as permanent equipment if the total value of the characteristic reaches 160 units (speed in the "lower" characteristics and 2×2 combination of cavern relics for speed).
Sprightly Vonwacq	2 parts: Increases energy recovery speed by 5%. When the speed reaches 120 units or more, the action moves forward by +40% immediately after entering combat.	If there are no previous sets with suitable stats, you can use the starting ornaments for energy recovery. This is especially useful when choosing "attack power" in the link rope to balance the stats and charge the ultimate in a timely manner. Another plus is advancing the action at the beginning of the battle.

Team Guide

Given the set of active and passive skills, Luocha plays the role of a healer in the team, in other words, a sustainer, and accordingly, he takes the last fourth slot when creating a team. We will prioritize several points that make the hero the best choice for a certain type of character:

• thanks to the passive health recovery feature that is built into the skill Prayer of Abyss Flower and talent "Cycle of Life", works well with units that play from summoning memosprites, or representatives who act as the “tank” in the group;
• The skill effect, which is triggered when the health of team members is reduced to 50%, will be useful for heroes whose abilities are tied to the consumption/absorption of HP (their own value and/or allies).

Which characters are suitable?

Given the above, the list of "perfect" allies for a traveling merchant can be narrowed down to the following heroes:

Character	Damage Path and Type	Features
Castorice	Remembrance Quantum	Castorice's specialty is that she uses her allies' health to increase her personal damage. For this reason, a healer who can heal on a permanent basis is extremely important in her team. Considering that the Abundance hero in question offers passive HP restoration due to the action of "zone", he will fit perfectly into any of the heroine's teams.
Mydei	Destruction Imaginary	Mydei gains "Charges" every time he spends health. When the number of "Charges" reaches a certain number, the unit enters the Vendetta state, in which it begins to use an enhanced skill and thus inflict increased damage. As a result, it requires good healing from the outside (both active and passive).
Blade	Destruction Wind	The main DPS character, whose damage increases proportionally to the lost health. In high-level battles, he needs the support of a healer from the outside. The most comfortable sustains are those who can offer auto-healing.
Jingliu	Destruction Ice	During the Spectral Transmigration state, it consumes HP of allies. Given this feature, the Foreign Merchant will allow the team with Jingliu to maintain a high level of survivability without any problems.
Yunli	Destruction Physical	The main damage dealer, who strives to stay under enemy attacks to perform counterattacks. Despite the built-in passive healing in the skill, due to the constant incoming damage, he needs additional stable health restoration.
Clara	Destruction Physical	A tank that acts as a primary and secondary damage dealer. It is aimed at destroying groups of enemies and single targets, as well as absorbing damage: after using the ultimate, the probability of being attacked increases. Thanks to this, it combines well with the features of the foreign merchant.
Arlan	Destruction Lightning	Has a mechanic where he sacrifices health in exchange for increased damage. For this reason, the healer in question becomes one of the best choices for him among the heroes of Abundance.
Aglaea	Remembrance Lightning	During battle, the Chrysos Heir is responsible not only for its own survival, but also for the health value of the personal memosprite of the Seamstress's memory. Accordingly, during the battle, the demigoddess needs stable support, which can be provided by an intergalactic merchant with high passive and active healing.
The Trailblazer	Remembrance Ice	Similar to the demigoddess Aglaea, summons Memo the memosprite to the battlefield, who needs additional support from the outside, since he can be attacked by the enemy. Otherwise, the hero of Remembrance performs the functions of a support: in addition to additional damage, he increases the crits of allies, and also advances the action.
Tribbie	Harmony Quantum	Plays the role of not only a buff character, but also a secondary damage dealer. Ideally included in compositions designed to destroy groups of enemies, and is also one of the best allies for heroes such as Imaginary Mydei and Quantum Castorice, for whom it is desirable to have a powerful healer with autoskills.
The Trailblazer	Preservation Fire	A good sustain for F2P accounts, which, however, is more focused not on supporting the group's survivability, but on tank mechanics: after using the skill, there is a certain chance to apply the "Taunt" status to enemies. This negative effect, in turn, increases the chance of the Trailblazer (Preservation) to be attacked.

However, this does not mean that the traveling merchant will not be able to provide adequate support to other heroes. Considering that the man is a healer of the highest tier, most DPS units will feel comfortable under his supervision:

1	2	3	4	5
The Trailblazer (Destruction: Physical)	Imbibitor Lunae (Destruction: Imaginary)	Firefly (Destruction: Fire)	Misha (Destruction: Ice)	Hook (Destruction: Fire)
Xueyi (Destruction: Quantum)	Boothill (The Hunt: Physical)	Feixiao (The Hunt: Wind)	Topaz (The Hunt: Fire)	March 7 (The Hunt: Imaginary)
Doctor Ratio (The Hunt: Imaginary)	Seele (The Hunt: Quantum)	Yanqing (The Hunt: Ice)	Dan Heng (The Hunt: Wind)	Sushang (The Hunt: Physical)
Moze (The Hunt: Lightning)	Anaxa (Erudition: Wind)	The Herta (Erudition: Ice)	Rappa (Erudition: Imaginary)	Jade (Erudition: Quantum)
Argenti (Erudition: Physical)	Jing Yuan (Erudition: Lightning)	Himeko (Erudition: Fire)	Qingque (Erudition: Quantum)	Serval (Erudition: Lightning)
Herta (Erudition: Ice)	Acheron (Nihility: Lightning)	Black Swan (Nihility: Wind)	Kafka (Nihility: Lightning)	Welt (Nihility: Imaginary)
Guinaifen (Nihility: Fire)	Luka (Nihility: Physical)	Sampo (Nihility: Wind)

Representatives of Harmony and Nihility will also appreciate the healing abilities of the Abundance character:

1	2	3	4	5
Cipher (Nihility: Quantum)	Fugue (Nihility: Fire)	Jiaoqiu (Nihility: Fire)	Silver Wolf (Nihility: Quantum)	Pela (Nihility: Ice)
Sunday (Harmony: Imaginary)	Robin (Harmony: Physical)	Sparkle (Harmony: Quantum)	Ruan Mei (Harmony: Ice)	Bronya (Harmony: Wind)
The Trailblazer (Harmony: Imaginary)	Hanya (Harmony: Physical)	Yukong (Harmony: Imaginary)	Tingyun (Harmony: Lightning)	Asta (Harmony: Fire)

Best team samples

The following teams can be formed with the listed characters:

Character 1	Character 2	Character 3	Character 4	Features
Castorice	Tribbie Ruan Mei Pela	MC Remembrance Sunday	Luocha	Setup with Castorice, playing from the summoning of the memosprite. The third position supports provide the best bonuses for such units, and Tribbie perfectly synergizes directly with the heroine due to universal buffs (replaceable with ice support). The chosen healer, in turn, helps the team not to sag in health, which is constantly decreasing due to the peculiarity of the girl's skill.
Mydei Blade	Sunday MC Remembrance	Tribbie Sparkle Cipher	Luocha	A hyper-carry team variant with a health-consuming mechanic: Blade specializes in a boosted skill and bonus attacks, Mydei — two variations of a boosted skill. Bonuses are distributed by selected support heroes (action advancement + other effects).
The Herta	Jade Anaxa Serval	Tribbie Asta	Luocha	A team with The Herta, who needs +1 Erudition character, as it boosts not only her, but also the rest of the team. The optimal addition to the build will be a buffer, increasing the overall combat power of the team. It is also worth noting that the heroine values ​​​​allies who can accumulate stacks of "Interpretation" with their attacks.
Acheron	Jiaoqiu Cipher	Pela	Luocha	Acheron deals the main damage while in the damage dealer position. The characters of the Nihility provide the max bonus from the trace "Abyss" and apply debuffs, helping to accumulate points of "Slashed Dream" and stacks of "Crimson Knot". The Sustainer passively heals with "zone", removes buffs from enemies with the Ultimate and debuffs from allies with the effect of the skill.
Aglaea Jing Yuan	Sunday	MC Remembrance Robin Tingyun	Luocha	Hyper-carries Aglaea and Jing Yuan play from the mechanics of summoning an additional creature on the battlefield: for Chrysos Heir it is considered a memosprite, for the general - a bonus attack. The main support is Sunday, whose gameplay is focused on supporting heroes with memosprites / other summoned creatures. The third slot is another Harmony, which is chosen based on the needs of the main damage dealer.
Argenti Anaxa	Sunday Tingyun	Sparkle MC Remembrance	Luocha	Argenti and Anaxa are standalone DPS characters that receive multiple bonuses from the other two support heroes in the second and third positions. Teams that can drain energy (Sunday or Tingyun) are of great value, since Argenti's ultimate is basic damage, while Anaxa's ultimate is damage and +7 types of vulnerabilities on all enemies.
Feixiao D. Ratio	Topaz March 7 Moze	Robin Pela	Luocha	A team with high single target damage from bonus attacks, supported by good secondary damage and top tier supports. Feixiao works great with any of the units listed, while Dr. Ratio would benefit from a team of Topaz/Moze and Pela (or another Nihility hero capable of inflicting multiple negative statuses).
Kafka Little Gui	Black Swan Jiaoqiu Sampo	Ruan Mei Asta	Luocha	A damage over time team with Kafka as the main damage dealer. She uses DoT statuses from Black Swan or Jiaoqiu/Sampo to deal increased damage with her skill and ultimate. Ruan Mei or Asta support all allies with buffs. Kafka can be replaced by Guinaifen, but it is important to consider that this heroine plays from "Burn" and cannot affect other statuses of periodic damage. Accordingly, it requires the selection of signature units in the team.
Himeko	Anaxa Herta	Robin Ruan Mei Asta	Luocha	A group with high AoE potential that is suitable for a quick run "Pure Fiction" and other similar activities. The first positions are occupied by Erudition units that synergize well with each other, and the third is Harmony with bonuses that apply to the entire team.
P. Moon Jingliu Yunli	Sparkle Bronya	Pela Hanya	Luocha	Top-tier destruction for top-tier Harmony with extra support in the form of budget supports. Preferred heroes for Imbibitor Lunae are Sparkle and Pela (advance + buffs + skill point regen/defense reduction), for Jingliu and Yunli - Bronya and Pela/Hanya (advance + buffs/defense reduction or extra speed and attack power buffs).
Firefly Boothill Rappa	Fugue MC Harmony	Ruan Mei	Luocha	Break team with a very greedy gameplay for skill points, which increases the importance in sustain, which rarely uses them due to auto-healing.
Seele Sushang Dan Heng	Sparkle Hanya	Bronya Yukong	Luocha	A group with decent single target damage, focused on multiple attacks through constant progression of actions. Legendary supports are replaceable with Epic alternatives, but it is recommended to upgrade to higher tier Harmony for greater bonuses.

The table only shows examples of possible teams where the unit acts in the sustain position. Based on them, you can create your own team, if difficulties arise, write a comment, so that the author or other players can help build a good group to complete various content.

Is The Character Worth Pulling?

Luocha is a legendary rarity character who specializes in healing allies. Unlike other heroes of the same path, he focuses on gradual healing due to the "zone" mechanic. In addition to this, the intergalactic merchant is able to deal AoE damage, the damage multiplier depends entirely on attack power indicator. The named characteristic also affects the effectiveness of healing properties, which greatly simplifies the build of the hero.

A DPS-focused superpower forces the male to sacrifice having instant healing for all allies, such as Wind Huohuo, Lightning Bailu or 4⭐ Natasha— the ultimate skills of the listed heroines restore HP en masse, which turns them into more stable sustainers. However, the peculiarity of the "Death Wish" does not prevent the wanderer from Luofu from remaining one of the strongest and most relevant representatives of his path after many updates. Especially considering the fact that the mechanics of his healing in certain situations wins and becomes more in demand.

Thus, when answering the question of whether it is worth spending Special Star Passes or Golden Spirit of the Companion on a given Abundance hero, it is important to take into account the above nuances. For example, if there are heroes on the account that play from HP consumption (Servant of Death Castorice, Demigod Mydei or Swordsman Blade), then the healer will be a great acquisition, which will eliminate the need for a good sustain for a long time. Similarly, it is recommended to take the character if the profile needs a stable unit responsible for the survival of the group.

Which is better: signature or E1

The hero's first eidolon, "Ablution of the Quick", is responsible for additional increases to the attack power of allies while the talent zone is active. This acquisition can be called good, but not all DPS representatives need an increase in ATK. For example, it will be completely useless for units whose damage scales with other parameters, be it defense or HP.

In contrast, the signature weapon Echoes of the Coffin offers many pleasant bonuses:

• increased attack power of the wielder - it is this characteristic that influences the healing properties of the traveling merchant;
• additional energy recharge - to get the bonus, it is enough to attack opponents when possible;
• increases speed of allies after using the ult, which will significantly speed up their actions in the battle cycle.

Therefore, it is recommended to give preference to the signature light cone.
