Lingsha’s abilities in Honkai Star Rail 2.5

Since Lingsha follows the Path of Abundance, it is quite predictable that she excels in healing her allies while they are busy fighting enemies. Apart from specializing in healing, she can boost her allies’ Weakness Break Effect damage.

Let’s take a look at the Cauldron Master’s kit in Honkai Star Rail 2.5:

• Basic ATK: Lingsha unleashes an attack dealing Fire damage to a singular opponent.
• Skill: Upon activation, Lingsha deals Fire damage to all opponents and heals her allies, simultaneously.
• Ultimate: When triggering this ability, Lingsha inflicts the unique effect “Befog” on all enemies. Adversaries affected by this will take 30% more Weakness Break damage for a whopping two turns.
• Additionally, deals Fire damage to all adversaries and provides healing to all allies. At the same time, Fuyuan’s action will be forwarded.
• Passive Talent: When Lingsha triggers her skill, she summons Fuyuan with the default SPD of 90. When Fuyuan takes action, it launches a follow-up attack that deals Fire damage to all enemies. Additionally, Lingsha’s summon can dispel a single debuff from all allies and heal them.
• When Lingsha uses her skill, Fuyuan’s action count increases by three, and a total of five actions can be accumulated. Running out of actions or Lingsha getting knocked down will result in Fuyuan disappearing from the battlefield.
• Technique: Upon activating this ability, Lingsha summons Fuyuan at the start of the next fight and inflicts "Befog" on all adversaries for two turns.

Lingsha works as a healer and a support hybrid who harmonizes well with the Break Effect characters. Since the Break Effect DPS characters are the current meta, the Cauldron Master will be a popular pick for most BE team compositions.

Additionally, Lingsha can dish out a great deal of healing along with the ability to boost her allies’ BE damage. This allows her to be an excellent support pick for the Break Effect team compositions, boosting their damage-dealing potential.

Should you pull for Lingsha in Honkai Star Rail 2.5?

Yes, you should pull for Lingsha in Honkai Star Rail 2.5, if you already have the Break Effect DPS units such as Firefly. If you don't have Firefly, avoid pulling Lingsha as placing her in team compositions other than the BE damage play style is wasted potential. So, if your account doesn't have any BE damage dealers, don't pull for Lingsha in Honkai Star Rail 2.5.

However, at the end of the day pulling for characters solely depends on the players pulling them. So, if you're fond of Lingsha’s character design, abilities, or more, you can pull for her without having the characters that have an excellent collaboration with her.
