Honkai: Star Rail – Lingsha build and ascension guide

by

Overpower your adversaries using an exceptional setup for Lingsha in Honkai: Star Rail, while keeping your teammates hale and hearty through the soothing effects of aromatherapy. This five-star follower of The Abundance discharges Fire damage and can conjure a being named Fuyuan to restore and purify her comrades.

Lingsha’s ability, “Flames, Fog, and Majesty,” unleashes fire damage proportional to her attack strength on all active opponents, restores health equivalent to her attack for allies, and calls forth Fuyuan. Once summoned, Fuyuan takes a position in the turn order and moves its action forward.

In the game, Fuyuan has a limit of performing five actions initially, which can be reset whenever a Skill is utilized. On its turn, Fuyuan launches a Sequential Attack that inflicts Fire Damage to all adversaries according to Lingsha’s Attack power and restores health to all allies using the same metric. Furthermore, Fuyuan removes one debuff from each ally, and deals additional Fire Damage to a single random opponent based on Lingsha’s HP. However, it will target enemies with a Fire Weakness and an active Toughness bar first.

In simpler terms, Lingsha’s powerful move, “Dripping Mistscape,” discharges fire damage to all opponents relative to her attack power. At the same time, it restores health to all allies based on her attack power as well. This ability also triggers Fuyuan’s next action and shrouds all enemies in a fog-like debuff called “Befog.” This debilitating effect lasts for two turns and boosts the break damage these targets take.

Boosting Lingsha’s Eidolon Levels will grant her access to greater powers. At level 1, her ability to mitigate weaknesses becomes more efficient and weakened opponents see a decrease in their defense. Level 2 empowers her ultimate skill, enhancing the break effect on all allies for three consecutive turns. At level 4, when Fuyuan acts, Lingsha will restore health to the ally with the least health. Lastly, at level 6, having Fuyuan on the field reduces the overall resistance of all enemies and allows Fuyuan to unleash additional extra attacks.

Honkai: Star Rail – Lingsha: best Light Cones

Lingsha’s moves are tied to her Attack (ATK), meaning that enhancing her ATK becomes crucial for maximizing her performance. Therefore, any Light Cone that elevates this stat would be advantageous, such as Luocha’s Echoes of the Coffin. In contrast, Lingsha’s unique Light Cone, Scent Alone Stays True, bolsters her role as a damage multiplier. It grants her additional Break Effect and enables her to inflict another debuff with her Ultimate, causing those affected to sustain increased damage. This damage amplification effect can be intensified when a specific Break Effect threshold is achieved.

Lingsha has the ability to transform a portion of her Break Impact into Attack strength due to one of her Traits, which makes Scent Alone Stays True her most effective choice in general.

Best Light Cones for Lingsha in HSR:

  • Scent Alone Stays True (5-Star)
  • Echoes of the Coffin (5-Star)
  • What Is Real? (4-Star)
  • Night of Fright (5-Star)
  • Time Waits for No One (5-Star)
  • Warmth Shortens Cold Nights (4-Star)
  • Hey, Over Here (4-Star)
  • Shared Feeling (4-Star)

Honkai: Star Rail – Lingsha: best Relics

For Lingsha, it’s important to focus on two key stats: ATK and Break Effect. These stats boost both her attacking power and healing abilities. Furthermore, enhancing her SPD (Speed) and Energy Regeneration is advisable. This speeds up her actions, enabling her to quickly deploy Fuyuan and cast her Ultimate as frequently as possible. The debuff from her Ultimate will greatly benefit the entire team.

While it’s possible for a Lingsha character to excel when equipped with high Critical Damage (CRIT DMG) and Critical Rate (CRIT Rate), this isn’t her most effective playstyle. A more advisable approach would be to prioritize enhancing her survivability by focusing on stats like Health (HP) or Effect Resistance (Effect RES) for her secondary attributes.

Best Relic Sets for Lingsha in HSR:

  • Thief of Shooting Meteor / Watchmaker, Master of Dream Machinations / Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge (2) + Messenger Traversing Hackerspace (2) – +16% Break Effect, +6% SPD.

Best Planar Ornaments for Lingsha in HSR:

  • Talia: Kingdom of Banditry (2) – +16% Break Effect, +20% Break Effect when the wearer’s SPD is 145 or higher.
  • [vs. Fire Weakness / on Firefly team] Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern (2) – +6% SPD, +40% Break Effect for one turn when the wearer hits an enemy with Fire Weakness.

Honkai: Star Rail – Lingsha: best team comps

Lingsha is beneficial for every team configuration, yet it really stands out when paired with teams that specialize in Break or Follow-Up Assaults.

  • Firefly (Main DPS), Trailblazer (Harmony) (Sub DPS), Ruan Mei (Support), Lingsha (Support)

Lingsha and Gallagher are both using the same strategy, but don’t assume that Lingsha is always superior to Gallagher, especially in terms of dealing damage on a Break team. In fact, Gallagher often outshines Lingsha when it comes to inflicting massive damage. However, Lingsha excels at maintaining the team’s health due to her ability to clear status effects, which is a significant advantage.

Regardless of who you select as your healer, the essential team consisting of Firefly, Trailblazer (or Fugue), and Ruan Mei remains unchanged. By empowering Firefly’s Super Break DMG with their abilities, Trailblazer and Ruan Mei send it soaring high into the skies. Fugue can effectively fill in for Trailblazer in this composition.

  • Feixiao (Main DPS), March 7th (Hunt) (Sub DPS), Topaz (Sub DPS), Lingsha (Support)

Lingsha stands out as the initial healer with Follow-Up Attacks, making her an ideal addition to any team focusing on Follow-Up Attacks (FuA). Characters such as Feixiao and Acheron, who effortlessly apply Weakness Break, significantly profit from Lingsha’s debuff in her Ultimate. Interestingly, Lingsha is capable of dishing out substantial Break Damage with these abilities herself.

  • The Herta (Main DPS), Trailblazer (Remembrance) (Support), Ruan Mei (Support), Lingsha (Support)

Lingsha is an exceptional healer for The Herta’s squad. Her broad-spectrum attacks not only harm all opponents but also produce a substantial amount of Energy for The Herta. This accelerates the rate at which she can activate her ultimate ability.
