Here's why you should pull for Lingsha in Honkai Star Rail

1) Unique abilities and kit

Like Honkai Star Rail characters, Lingsha will boast a unique kit featuring one-of-a-kind abilities. Being an Abundance character, most players may think she only excels in healing her party members, but that's not quite true. The new Cauldron Master of the Alchemy Commission can simultaneously heal her party characters, cleanse them, and deal Fire damage to enemies.

This makes Lingsha quite the unique Abundance character in this HoYoverse title. If you want to replace Gallagher for your Firefly or any BE team compositions, Lingsha is the character you should be pulling for.

2) The perfect support for the BE (Break Effect) teams/characters

Currently, the Break Effect team compositions are one of the meta-defining teams popular among Trailblazers. The BE teams require the perfect DPS, buffers, and supports/healers to ensure everyone helps out each other to deal significant damage. Therefore, if you have the perfect DPS and buffers for the team, you may want to pull and invest in Lingsha as she is the best support unit for the playstyle.

Lingsha can not only consistently heal her party members with her abilities but also deal substantial Break damage to enemies. For some players’ team compositions, Lingsha is the perfect character as she can boost the efficiency of multiple team compositions featuring the Break Effect playstyle.

3) Exceptional character design and animations

One of the primary things players look for in every Honkai Star Rail character is their design and animations. As for Lingsha, she boasts quite a rather charming, unique design and stunning animations. Being a healer/doctor who treats her patients with incense, most of her abilities feature them and her summon Fuyuan, which looks somewhat like a rabbit.

As for Lingsha’s character design, it is quite alluring in a mysterious way just like her incense. Being a Vidyadhara, we can see some such characteristics in her character model.

4) Charming voice acting

Apart from character design and animations, one more thing players look for is the individuals voicing the character. Some Trailblazers tend to pull for the units solely because they love the character's voice. As for Lingsha, many players will likely pull for her because of this reason.

Lingsha’s English and Japanese voice lines are voiced by some prominent voice actors. Her English VA, Whitney Holland, has lent her voice in several video games, such as Monsters Never Cry and Mythic Heroes. Lingsha’s Japanese VA, Kaori Maeda, is quite popular as she voiced Ririsa Amano from 2.5 Dimensional Seduction, which is a comedy, harem anime.

5) Considerably low chance of getting power crept

Another reason you should pull for Lingsha in Honkai Star Rail is her slim chance of becoming the victim of power creep. Since the Break Effect teams have been trending for the past two to three updates, it is highly unlikely that it will fall out of the meta soon. Using the DoT teams as an example, they still have a rather decent pick rate in various high-tier activities.

Therefore, you can pull for Lingsha during the second phase of Honkai Star Rail 2.6 without any second thoughts. However, keep in mind that you must build and place her in the right teams to showcase the full extent of her abilities.
