The Xianzhou’s War Dance introduced many new faces, including Honkai Star Rail’s Lingsha. She’s the new cauldron master who now resides on the Luofu, and is a Vidyadhara. As a playable character, she’s a five-star healer who uses the fire element, and studied medicine under a renowned master – so you know she’s good.
These new Honkai Star Rail codes can add some stellar jade to your stash, and let you grab the latest Honkai Star Rail banner character. Not feeling the current options? Here’s who’s coming in the next Honkai Star Rail update.
Here’s everything in our Honkai Star Rail Lingsha build guide:
What’s the best Honkai Star Rail Lingsha build?
Lingsha is a five-star healer who walks the path of the Abundance and uses the fire element. If you need a healer and buffer for a break team, look no further than Lingsha. She can also help out in follow-up teams with her adorable summon, Fuyuan. This summon automatically attacks enemies and provides some follow-up attacks which can help specifically in Feixiao teams.
| Best light cone | Scent Alone Stays True |
| Light cone substitutes | Night of Fright, Quid Pro Quo |
| Best relic set | Passerby of Wandering Cloud |
| Planar ornaments | Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern |
| Main stats | Body – Outgoing healing Feet – Speed Link rope – Break effect Planar sphere – Attack |
| Sub stats | Break effect, speed, attack |
When Lingsha or Fuyuan attacks, she can restore HP to team members. Along with this, she ensures enemies take higher break damage – this places her as one of the best supports for Boothill and Firefly
In terms of what to equip her with, her best light cone is Scent Alone Stays True, and the best relic set for Lingsha is Passerby of Wandering Cloud. Pair this with a set of Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern planar ornaments to get the most out of her buffs.
What are the best light cones for Honkai Star Rail’s Lingsha?
The best light cone for Lingsha is, obviously, her signature five-star, Scent Alone Stays True. There are other options if you’re not in a position to pull this (honestly, who is?). Huohuo’s signature, Night of Fright, can increase Lingsha’s energy regen and healing, whereas the four-star option What Is Real? will add to her break effect.
| Light cone | Effect | How to obtain |
| Scent Alone Stays True (five-star) | Increases Lingsha’s break effect. When she uses her ultimate to attack, the targets become inflicted with ‘Woefree’, which lasts two turns. When in this state, they take increased damage. This effect gets a boost if Lingsha’s break effect is over 150% | Light cone banner (alongside Lingsha) |
| Night of Fright (five-star) | Increases Lingsha’s energy regeneration rate by 12%. When an ally uses their ultimate move, she restores HP for that ally equal to 10% of their maximum HP stat. When healing party members, she also increases their attack by 2.4%. This can stack five times and lasts for two turns | Light cone banner (alongside Huohuo) |
| Quid Pro Quo (four-star) | At the start of Lingsha’s turn, she regenerates 8/10/12/14/16 energy for a random ally, whose current energy is less than 50% | Forgotten Hall store |
| Post-Op Conversation (four-star) | This increases Lingsha’s energy regeneration rate by 8%, and her outgoing healing by 12% when she uses her ultimate | Gacha |
| Shared Feeling (four-star) | Increases Lingsha’s outgoing healing by 10%. When she uses his skill, she regenerates two energy for all team members | Gacha |
| What Is Real? (four-star) | This increases Lingsha’s break effect by 48%. After using his basic attack, she restores 4.0% of her own maximum HP, plus 800 |
What are the best relics for Lingsha?
The best set of relics for Lingsha as a healer is the Passerby of Wandering Cloud set – especially as the four-piece effect grants an extra skill point. If you want to improve her speed, you can use a set of Messenger Traversing Hackerspace.
Alternatively, if you want to focus on Lingsha’s break attack – especially if you have her light cone – using two sets of break effect-increasing relics will pay dividends.
As for planar ornaments, the Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern works very well on Lingsha, similar to Gallagher.

Who is Lingsha?
Lingsha is a brand-new character to the Honkai Star Rail world, appearing during the Xianzhou Luofu’s War Dance updates. She’s a Vidyadhara hailing from the Luofu itself, who studied the ‘healing arts’. That makes our second Vidyadhara healer coming from the Luofu – Honkai Star Rail’s Bailu is of the same species.
Lingsha studied under the name Dan Zhu, and left the Luofu with her master when she was unfortunately exiled due to political issues. Now she’s back with a changed name, and ready to take on a challenge as the new Cauldron Master in the Alchemy Commission.
