Linghsa is the 5-star character being added in the 2nd phase of Honkai Star Rail 2.5 version, and her kit is a Break Sustain, with the best healing kit in the game. Her Ultimate is her main strength, having offensive, support, and healing capabilities packed into one. Lingsha is easily one of the best healers in the game and perfect for Break Effect teams. If you are planning to get Lingsha, here is a complete guide for the best HSR Lingsha build.

Honkai Star Rail Lingsha: Path and Damage Type

Lingsha is a5-star Abundance character with the Fire Damage typeand she is a Break Sustain, with one of the strongest healing kits since Huohuo.Her kit is focused on Break Effect, increasing the Break Damage and Super Break damage taken by enemies, while also having tons of AoE healing paired with offensive capabilities. Every part of her kitdamages enemies while also giving AoE healsto allies. When her Summon takes action, she removes 1 debuff from all allies alongside healing them, making it a very strong cleansing kit as well.

When it comes to her Lore and Backstory, she is thecurrent Cauldron Master of Xianzhou Luofu’s Alchemy Commission. She is a perceptive and intelligent Vidyadhara healer, with a keen sense of smell. Her healing technique uses Aromatic therapy to diagnose ailments and calm minds.

Lingsha is a Break-Sustainwith a mix of offensive, healing, and support in her kit. She is an AoE character that both deals damage and heals all her allies using her Skill, Talent, and Ultimate. She summons Fuyuan, which also deals AoE Fire damage to enemies while healing allies, andremoves 1 debuff from all allies, making her kit complete with all healing capabilities.

The main part of her kit is her Ultimate, which does AoE Fire damage,makes all enemies take increased Break damage, heals allies, and also action forwards her summon by 100%. With her kit, start with using her Skill to summon Fuyuan, and use her Ultimate when your allies need health or the enemies are close to Weakness Break.

The4-piece Iron Cavalry Against the Scourgeis the best relic set for Lingsha, as she is primarily a Break Sustain. This is a very strong Break Effect relic set. It increases the wearer’s Break Effect by 16% and allows the wearer to ignore enemy defenses when the wearer meets the Break Effect threshold. Having this Relic set on Lingsha is perfect in Break Effect-focused teams to maximize her Super Break damage.

The4-piece Passerby of Wandering Cloudis the best alternative for every other team. This set gives a 10% healing boost to the wearer, making it the most standard Sustain Relic Set in the game. Other than that, you can also use a4-piece Thief of Shooting Meteoror paired with a2-piece with Messenger Traversing Hackerspaceto increase Break Effect and Speed for Lingsha.

The2-piece Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern is the best Planar Ornamentfor Lingsha’s kit as it increases the wearer’s speed by 6% and increases the Break Effect by 40% for 1 turn when the wearer hits an enemy with Fire Weakness. However, if the enemy doesn’t have Fire Weakness, then the effectiveness of this Planar Ornament is reduced by quite a lot.

The2-piece Talia: Kingdom of Banditryis the best alternative planar ornament set, as it can increase the Break Effect of the wearer by 36%. Other than that, you can also use the2-piece Broken Keel, which is always a good Planar Ornament set for Sustains if you can meet the 30% Effect Resistance.

When it comes to Lingsha’s main Relic and Planar Ornament stats, use aHealing Boost Body,Speed Boots,Attack % Planar Sphere, andEnergy RegenerationorBreak Effect Link Rope.

For Sub stats, focus on reaching100-110% Break Effectat least and160 Speed Breakpoint. Other than that, put the rest of the stats on her Effect Resistance, Health, and Defense. Make sure to add enough Health and Defense to keep her alive against the enemies’ assault.

Scent Alone Stays True is the best Light Cone for Lingsha, which is also her Signature Light Cone. This Light Cone significantly increases the Break Effect (by 60%), giving a massive buff to her kit. Additionally, it debuffs enemies when hit with the wearer’s ultimate, making themtake 18% increased damagewhen the wearer has a Break Effect higher or equal to 150%.

For her alternative Light Cones, theWhat is Real?is the best 4-star Light Cone alternative for her. Other than that, you can also useShared Feeling,Post-Op Conversation, andPerfect Timing, however, these Light Cones don’t provide any buff to Break Effect, which is a major part of Lingsha’s kit.

Here is why these are thebest Lingsha Light Conesin Honkai Star Rail.

Status Boosts:

Thebest team for Lingsha will be a complete Break-Effect focused teamwith Break DPS units likeFireflyand Boothill and Break Supports like Ruan Mei and Harmony Trailblazer. Other than that, she can also be a great asset to Follow-up attack teams, combining withFeixiao, Robin, and Topaz to create a strong combo.

For her F2P teams, pair Lingsha with Hunt March 7th and Moze with a complete Break Effect DPS build while using Harmony Trailblazer in the team to delete enemy health bars using Break Damage.

Overall,Lingsha provides a ton of value to any team as a sustain, while being particularly good in Break Effect and FUA teams. I think Lingsha is a great option to bolster your Honkai Star Rail team. However, I still feel that she is a weaker option than Huohuo, so unless you already have Huohuo,I will recommend you go for Lingshaif you have enough Stellar Jades. If you have Boothill, Firefly, or any other Break Effect DPS units, then Lingsha is a great choice for their sustain.

So, that’s everything we know so far about Lingsha’s best build. Share your thoughts on Lingsha in the comment section, and let us know if you are going to pick her or Topaz in the Honkai Star Rail 2.5 banners.
