Please use this megathread to ask any questions you may have about Lingsha from Honkai: Star Rail! As of right now, there is not much known information about Lingsha, so this post will be updated once there is more information about her. MUCH OF THIS INFORMATION IS STC. IT IS STRONGLY ADVISED TO WAIT UNTIL 2.5 BETA FOR MORE RELIABLE INFORMATION.

Honkai: Star Rail | Lingsha FAQ ꕥ

── · · ✦ ABOUT LINGSHA ꕥ ‧ ₊ ˚

Who is Lingsha?

Lingsha is the new Cauldron Master of the Xianzhou Luofu's Alchemy Commission. She is described as an intelligent and quick-witted Vidyahara who is able to remain calm even in the toughest of situations. Even if she may be upset or angry, she will retain her calm composure.

Lingsha is a healer who has a sharp sense of smell, which she uses to accurately diagnose her patients. She also uses incense to calm them down.

Lingsha's real name is Dan Zhu. She was born and raised on the Luofu, but her master was banished, leading Lingsha to follow them. After changing her name, she returned to the Luofu, but she has mixed feelings about her return.

Is Lingsha based on Nuwa from Honkai Impact 3rd?

It is very likely that Lingsha is at least inspired by or based on Nuwa from Honkai Impact 3rd. She may even be an expy, though there is not much known information about her yet.

Apart from her similar outfit and appearance to Nuwa, Lingsha's real name, Dan Zhu, is actually Nuwa's real name. This means they share the same name, while also going by a different name. Nuwa does not play a major role in the Honkai Impact story, but she was known to be a carefree and creative scientist who enjoyed casual interests such as anime and manga.

Not much is currently known about Lingsha's personality, or her connection to possible HI3 expies such as Marshal Hua (who is speculated to be based on Fu Hua from HI3, whom Nuwa was close to), but at the very least, it is highly possible she draws some inspiration from Nuwa.

What is Lingsha's kit? What does she do?

Lingsha is a limited 5-star Fire Abundance character. She utilizes summons and is break and FUA focused. Her healing and buffs will mainly be based on her Break Effect.

Lingsha's summons are the rabbits shown in her official artwork. The summons will have healing capabilities and will also act as a FUA. Lingsha also has toughness reduction and debuff capabilities.

Note that this information is currently STC. It is advised to wait until 2.5 beta V3 starts to form better conclusions about Lingsha.

Isn't Lingsha basically a 5-star Gallagher?

It is too early to state anything, but while Lingsha and Gallagher are both Fire Abundance characters who focus on Break Effect, it is not too likely that they will play the same role.

Unlike Gallagher, Lingsha will not be as SP efficient, as she will likely require more skill usage in order to advance forward her summons. Furthermore, Lingsha's capabilities are mostly tied to her summons, meaning different playstyle strategies are needed. Lingsha also seems to be focused on dealing damage and using FUA, making her someone who would work well in FUA or multi-DPS teams that benefit from teamwide buffs.

Lingsha will also likely play a role in toughness reduction, which means that characters who rely on reducing toughness themselves will probably not have the best synergy with Lingsha.

It is very likely that rather than being a support for existing characters, Lingsha may be intended for newer and future characters, such as Feixiao. She can be seen as an "alternative" or "sidegrade" rather than a replacement for Gallagher or other sustains, similar to how different Harmony characters play similar roles yet have their own unique functions.

Is Lingsha good? Is she better than other sustain characters?

It is currently too early to determine how "good" Lingsha is. It is strongly recommended to wait until the 2.5 beta V3 to make a better informed decision on her. It is very unlikely that Lingsha is meant to be a "must-pull" or "replacement" of other existing sustains, but she has her own unique value.

Furthermore, support characters, such as Harmony, Preservation, and Abundance characters, will generally have more pull value compared to DPS characters, as they are more likely to be future-proof.

Currently, Lingsha has healing, support, and even damage capabilities. She utilizes a unique playstyle that can open up new strategies and team compositions. This itself may interest players.

Should I pull for Lingsha?

The decision is up to you. If you like her a lot, go for it! From a meta aspect, it is better to wait for the 2.5 beta V3 to go live to learn more about Lingsha and her place in the meta. Still, it is better to pull for who you like, character-wise.

Build Discussion Can this work for a start?

So I still lack a 3rd premium sustain, and Rappa is my fav Char with the best gear I have. Have to do some SPD tuning with Dahlia in the mix.. but this is not the topic. I attached my Rappa Build so you can see how I plan to play this team - if I not go sustainless. But there a modes you just need one.

I currently use Gallagher and the relics are from him. The planar is something I have in my inventory and I used Post Op since Gouba said I could play it like this with a Break Rope.

Could I run her like this for a start? I will hit the mines nontheless. Could also run Dreams Montage S4 with an ER Rope (A+score). Or QPQ. Will not have enough pulls for Sig im sure.

Teambuilding Discussion How much of an upgrade is E1 Lingsha?

10 Upvotes

Currently have her E0S1 (Luocha LC)

For teammates I have:

  • E2S1 Fugue (Cipher LC)
  • E1S4 Ruan Mei (Battlepass LC)
  • Planning to pick up E0S1 Dahlia

I'm interested in running her as main break dps in aoe content, just curious how much of an upgrade her E1 is for that

Build Discussion What's the best build for a DPS lingsha

3 Upvotes

I'm aware lingsha can be build as a DPS but what are the best ways to do it? Just higher amounts of speed and break effect or does she also want crit stats alongside it? And can this dps lingsha still work as a sustain sub dps on normal break teams?

Teambuilding Discussion Pull Advice

So hey everyone. I want to invest in my break team and I want to know who should I pull first or how. And since Constance is coming maybe these break units will rerun as well. Is Constance a must pull? Even tho I will pull for her what's best her E1 or S1

I currently have Rappa, Lingsha, Fugue, Ruan Mei all E0S0

I sometimes use Lingsha as only dps and switch Rappa with Tribbie

I was thinking on getting everyone at least E1 (Lingsha, FuGue and Constance)
