The long-anticipated banner of Lingsha, the latest 5-star character in Honkai Star Rail, has finally arrived. Players can now use their Special Passes to pull for the 5-star unit and add it to their collection. However, as a new character, much of her kit and the specific Relics or materials she needs to function optimally are still unknown to most players.

This Honkai Star Rail guide covers the complete Lingsha build, including the best Light Cones, Relic sets, Planar Ornaments, and more. Additionally, it lists her ascension materials and some team compositions to help players farm efficiently.

Best Relic sets for Lingsha in Honkai Star Rail

Since Lingsha is a healer who can boost her allies’ Weakness Break damage in Honkai Star Rail, there are various sets that you can give her. Here are a few that benefit the newest Abundance unit:

2-piece Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge + 2-piece Watchmaker, Master of Dream Machinations
2-piece Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge (or any BR buffing set) + 2-piece Messenger Traversing Hackerspace

If you want to maximize the amount of Weakness Break damage that Lingsha can deal and the damage buff that she can grant to her allies, the 2-piece Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge and Watchmaker, Master of Dream Machinations combo is great. If you want, you can use the 4-piece Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge as it synergizes with her kit.

The 2-piece Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge (or any BR buffing set) and Messenger Traversing Hackerspace combo allows Lingsha to get more turns, which helps her accumulate ultimate Energy faster. This helps her inflict the BE damage boosting debuff on enemies and assist her allies more frequently, especially DPS units.

Light Cone recommendations for Lingsha in Honkai Star Rail

As Lingsha is a limited-time 5-star unit, it's a no-brainer that her signature Light Cone, Scent Alone Stays True, is her BiS (Best in Slot).

Apart from her BiS LC, there are not many Abundance Light Cones that suit her kit and playstyle. The LCs that suit her kit to some extent are as follows:

Night of Fright
What Is Real?
Post-Op Conversation
Multiplication

Night Of Fright is a decent Light Cone for Lingsha. It can boost her ERR (Energy Regeneration Rate) and restore the HP of the unit with the lowest health in the party.

What is Real? is also an excellent Light Cone for Lingsha. It can boost the wielder’s Break Effect, which is an important stat that the Cauldron Master of the Alchemy Commission needs.

Post-Op Conversation is a great LC for Lingsha but is only recommended if you have three or higher Superimposition levels. It enhances its user’s ERR, which helps out Lingsha in accumulating Energy for her ultimate.

Multiplication should only be used if you don't have any other LCs for Lingsha. If you are a new player and don’t have lots of LCs at your disposal, you can use this 3-star option. However, it's recommended you replace it as soon as possible.

Best Planar Ornament sets for Lingsha

Depending on what playstyle you like or what stats you are lacking after you have finished farming Relic pieces for Lingsha, here are the Planar Ornaments that you can use:

Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern
Talia: Kingdom of Banditry
Sprightly Vonwacq

The Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern set is the best one you can give to Lingsha as it can enhance her SPD and Weakness Break damage simultaneously.

Talia: Kingdom of Banditry and Sprightly Vonwacq are also great alternatives. The former boosts a hefty amount of the wielder's BE, while the latter enhances the user’s ERR.

Best stats and Traces to prioritize while building Lingsha

The key to dealing damage and healing with Lingsha is the stats she obtains from the Relic and Planar Ornament sets. When building the character, look for the following main and sub-stats for the best functionality:

Main stats

Body piece: Outgoing Healing Boost
Boots: Speed
Link Rope: ERR% or Break Effect% (Depends on what stat you need)
Planar Sphere: ATK%

Sub-stats

Break Effect
SPD
HP%
DEF%
ATK%
ERR

As for Lingsha’s Trace priority, here are the abilities you should focus on:

Ultimate > Passive Talent/Skill > Basic ATK

After you finish your Lingsha build, you should have atleast 3,000 - 4,000 HP, 2,500 - 3,500 ATK, 150-160 SPD, 100 - 130% Break Effect (Without BE Link Rope), 100 - 130 ERR.
