The Vidyadhara healer, Lingsha, in Honkai Star Rail and is currently one of the best support units for break and follow-up attack teams.
Lingsha is a 5-star character of the Abundance Path, who, in addition to providing healing support and break damage boost to allies, deals AOE Fire damage to enemies.
If you want to build the best version of Lingsha, you’re in the right place. This ONE Esports guide explains the best Lingsha build in HSR, including details like Light Cones, Relics, Planar Ornaments, and team compositions.
Best Lingsha build: best Light Cones
| LINGSHA LIGHT CONE | LIGHT CONE DESCRIPTION | HOW TO GET |
Scent Alone Stays True (5-star) | Increases the wearer’s Break Effect by 60-100%. After the wearer uses Ultimate to attack enemy targets, inflicts the targets with the “Woefree” state, lasting for 2 turn(s). While in “Woefree,” enemy targets take 10-18% increased DMG. The effect of increasing DMG taken is additionally boosted by 8-16% if the wearer’s current Break Effect is 150% or higher. | Lingsha Light Cone warp |
Echoes of the Coffin (5-star) | Increases the wearer’s ATK by 24-40%. After the wearer uses an attack, for each different enemy target the wearer hits, regenerates 3-5 Energy. Each attack can regenerate Energy up to 3 time(s) this way. After the wearer uses their Ultimate, all allies gain 12-20 SPD for 1 turn. | Luocha’s Light Cone warp |
Night of Fright (5-star) | Increases the wearer’s Energy Regeneration Rate by 12-20%. When any ally uses their Ultimate, the wearer restores HP for the ally currently with the lowest HP percentage by an amount equal to 10-14% of the healed ally’s Max HP. When the wearer provides healing for an ally, increases the healed ally’s ATK by 2.4-4.0%. This effect can stack up to 5 times and lasts for 2 turn(s). | Huohuo’s Light Cone warp |
What is Real (4-star) | Increases the wearer’s Break Effect by 24-48%. After using Basic ATK, restores HP for the wearer by an amount equal to 2.0-4.0% of Max HP plus 800. | Forgotten Hall Store |
Shared Feeling (4-star) | Increases the wearer’s Outgoing Healing by 10-20%. When using Skill, regenerates 2-4 Energy for all allies. | Any warp banner |
Lingsha’s signature Light Cone is the perfect fit for the best Lingsha build as it boosts her Break Effect, thus directly affecting her ATK and Outgoing Healing. Furthermore, her ultimate applies a debuff on enemies, which allows them to take additional damage.
Please note that enemies affected by Lingsha’s ultimate are already prone to Break Damage, and this LC buff can further increase the damage they receive from all sources.
Loucha’s signature Light Cone, Echoes of the Coffin, also works well for Lingsha. It gives her a tremendous ATK boost, which impacts her overall damage output and outgoing Healing.
Furthermore, it increases energy regeneration, allowing her to unleash her ultimate more frequently and apply break damage debuff on enemies. Using Lingsha’s ultimate with this LC equipped also boosts the speed of allies, benefitting units like Firefly.
Huohuo’s signature Light Cone, Night of Fright, is another premium alternative for Lingsha. It drastically increases energy regeneration, allowing Lingsha to use her ultimate more frequently.
Furthermore, every time an ally uses their ultimate, Lingsha will heal the unit with the lowest health and boost their ATK effect. It’s quite effective for increasing the survivability and damage output of sub-DPS units like Topaz in Lingsha’s team.
If you’re interested in more free-to-play Light Cone options for Lingsha, look no further than What is Real and Shared Feeling. The former boosts Break Effect, whereas the latter bolsters outgoing Healing, both of which are vital aspects of Lingsha’s kit.
Best Lingsha build: best Relics
| LINGSHA RELIC | RELIC DESCRIPTION |
Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge | 2-piece effect: Increases Break Effect by 16% 4-piece effect: If the wearer’s Break Effect is 150% or higher, ignores 10% of the enemy target’s DEF when dealing Break DMG to them. When the wearer’s Break Effect is 250% or higher, the Super Break DMG they deal to enemy targets additionally ignores 15% of the targets’ DEF. |
| Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge Watchmaker Master of Dream Machinations  | 2-piece effect: Increases Break Effect by 16% 2-piece effect: Increases Break Effect by 16% |
The best Relic set for an optimal Lingsha build is the Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge. We recommend equipping all four pieces of this set if Linghsa gets a decent Break Damage boost from alternative sources, such as through her signature LC, and by Harmony Trailblazer.
If not, 2-pieces of Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge and Watchmaker Master of Dream Machinations Relic sets are great for boosting Lingsha’s Break Effect.
Best Lingsha build: Planar Ornaments
| LINGSHA PLANAR ORNAMENTS | PLANAR ORNAMENT DESCRIPTION |
Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern | 2-piece effect: Increases the wearer’s SPD by 6%. When the wearer hits an enemy target that has Fire Weakness, the wearer’s Break Effect increases by 40%, lasting for 1 turn(s). |
Talia: Kingdom of Banditry | 2-piece effect: Increases the wearer’s Break Effect by 16%. When the wearer’s SPD reaches 145 or higher, the wearer’s Break effect increases by an extra 20%. |
The best Planar Ornament for Lingsha is the Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern, granted there is at least one enemy weak to Fire damage. With this, simply targeting enemies prone to Fire will give her a tremendous Break Effect boost.
Talia: Kingdom of Banditry is also a good choice for boosting Lingsha’s Break Effect, though you will need decent speed to proc the bonus boost.
