The summoned creature is a bonus attack that not only deals damage, but also removes debuffs and additionally heals allied characters. In the following paragraphs, we will explain in more detail how Linsha's abilities work and analyze the leveling sequence. We will also consider traces and eidolons separately.

• When the action counter drops to 0 or Lingsha becomes unable to fight, Fuyuan disappears.
• While the summoned creature is on the battlefield, using the skill can increase its number of actions by 3.

The order of leveling abilities

Super Ability > Talent > Skill > Basic Attack

All of Linsha's skills, except for the basic attack, are recommended for upgrading. When resources are scarce, priority is given first. superpowers, which spreads healing and damage, as well as talent, which allows you to heal and deal damage with a bonus attack. In addition to this, the ult applies the "Foggy" debuff, due to which more DPS from penetration goes through enemies.

Emboldening Salvo performs similar functions: mass healing and damage. Although the multipliers are lower, the skill is also used to summon Fuyuan or advance its action. Basic Attack is only needed to restore energy and skill points, so leveling it up won't do much good. However, if you want Linsha to continue making an impact in battle, you can level up her regular attack as well.

Tracks

All traces of Linsha:

Penetration effect +5,3% (level 1)
"Bright Red Flame": Increases attack power/outgoing healing by 25-10% of the penetration effect. Maximum is 50-20%.	HP +4% (A2)	Penetration effect +5,3% (A3)	Attack Power +4% (A3)
"Forest Haze": When using a basic attack, an additional 10 units of energy are restored.	Penetration effect +8% (A4)	HP +6% (A5)	Penetration effect +8% (A5)

This attack does not consume Fuyuan's action. The effect can be activated again after 2 turns.	Attack Power +6% (A6)	HP +8% (lvl 75)
Penetration effect +10,7% (level 80)

When all hidden talents are unlocked, the stat increase will be:

• penetration effect - 37,3%;
• health - 18%;
• attack power - 10%.

Eidolons

All Linsha cons:

number	Name	<font><font>Materials</font></font>
1	A bouquet of bad weather	Penetration efficiency is increased by 50%. When an enemy's weakness is penetrated, their defense is reduced by 20%.
2	Carmine smoke	When using the super ability, the penetration effect of all allies is increased by 40%. The effect lasts for 3 turns.
3	Wild Flame Stalk	Superpower level +2. Talent level +2. The maximum level is 15.
4	A fleeting bouquet	While Fuyuan is active, the ally with the lowest HP at the moment will be restored to HP equal to 40% of Lingsha's attack power.
5	The quintessence of balance	Skill level +2. The maximum level is 15. The level of basic attack +1. The maximum level is 10.
6	Hidden fragrance	While Fuyuan is on the battlefield, all enemy resistances are reduced by 20%. Fuyuan deals 4 additional hits when attacking. Each attack deals fire damage equal to 50% of Lingsha's attack power and 5 stamina damage. Priority is given to enemies with stamina greater than 0 and weakness to fire.

The best constellations of Lingsha are - first и the sixth:

• E1 - allows you to quickly deplete the stamina bar of all enemies, and the eidolon is also extremely useful in squads that play from penetration, for example, in synergy with Firefly.
• E6 — increases damage dealt to enemies by reducing their resistance to all elements. At the same time, the talent's bonus attack deals additional damage.

F2P players are recommended to stick with E1. E2 can also be beneficial if Linsha is a for damage dealers who specialize in reducing enemy stamina.

How to Play Linsha: Rotation

Lingsha's gameplay in Hankai: Star Rail is centered around summoning and maintaining Fuyuan, which is a separate party member and is considered a bonus attack. The summoned creature not only deals damage, but also heals all allies and removes debuffs. It initially has 3 actions, which are restored by the skill (maximum 5). Thus, it is important to ensure that the turns do not run out and periodically use the skill.

During combat, Linsha mainly prioritizes the basic attack to generate skill points and gain energy, since a normal hit fills the gauge in the same way as a skill due to the trace. For this reason, Fuyuan's main way to advance is through the super ability, and the ive healing is provided by the bonus attack. However, the skill is still an important skill for instantly healing allies or dealing additional damage.

Let's take a closer look at Linsha's rotation, providing some general recommendations:

1. Always try to enter the battle after using the technique. Thanks to this, Fuyuan will appear at the beginning of the battle and apply the negative effect "Fog" to all enemies for 2 turns.
2. When it's the heroine's turn, use basic attack unless there is an urgent need for healing or the summoned creature has actions remaining. Otherwise, activate the skill.
3. Usual combination: 2 basic attacks and a skill. This will allow you to charge your ult, saving skill points for your team. However, if your main DD is not too "gluttonous" and you need more stable ive healing, then alternating basic attack and skill.
4. The super ability can be used not only for mass healing, but also for weakening enemies with "Fog", as well as increasing the assistant's action by 100%.

Advantages and disadvantages

Let's take a closer look at the pros and cons of being a healer for the Alchemy Commission in Xianzhou.

Advantages	Disadvantages
Instant team healing. The skill and ult restore the health of all allies, which can repeatedly save the group from death during a powerful attack during a battle with an elite enemy.	Need to consume skill points, to urgently heal the squad during the turn or add actions for Fuyuan. At the same time, the ive heal and the main part of Linsha's damage depend on the assistant's activity.
Constant regeneration out of turn. Linsha summons a creature that attacks enemies with a bonus attack and heals. Moreover, it does not disappear, even if the heroine is under control, and does not depend on the actions of opponents, which ensures stable healing.	Healing scales with attack power and penetration effect. The first trace increases outgoing healing and attack power depending on EP. Although this is a buff, it somewhat complicates the build, since at least 200% of this stat is needed to get the max. increase.
Deals fire damage to an area. When using skills, not counting healing, it does good damage to all opponents. At the same time, it consistently carries out a bonus attack due to the summoned creature.	Doesn't stand out that much from other heroes of the Path of Abundance. Linsha is an effective healer and performs well in many builds, especially against penetration, but is not indispensable as a .
Applying a debuff. The Super ability applies "Foggy", which increases the damage taken by targets from penetration. This is primarily useful in teams focused on reducing durability.	Can't compete with other sub-dds. Low multipliers and the initial specialization of a healer do not allow the heroine to reveal herself as a full-fledged damage dealer, at least until the last eidolon is unlocked.
Removes debuffs from all allied heroesWhen performing a bonus attack, Fuyuan removes one negative effect from each squad member, providing even more survivability.

Best Builds for Linsha in Honkai: Star Rail

Linsha in HSR acts as a healer, a secondary source of DPS and partly a debuffer. During combat, she consistently heals allies, applies the "Fog" debuff, and also deals fire damage to the area with active skills and a bonus attack. Based on the features of the heroine's mechanics, we will highlight the following priority characteristics in the build:

• Penetration effect — one of the most important parameters due to the trace, which converts this stat into attack power and outgoing healing. As a result, damage increases along with the effectiveness of the heal.
• Speed - needed to maintain a creature with a bonus attack on the battlefield and emergency healing, as well as to generate skill points and energy through the use of a basic attack.
• Outgoing Healing - has a direct impact on the effectiveness of the distributed heal.
• ATK — this parameter scales healing and damage, so it is needed for the character to clearly perform its functions. However, where possible, preference is given to the penetration effect.
• Energy recovery - Allows you to consistently activate the super ability to weaken enemies, heal and advance the assistant's action by 100%.

Despite the fact that Linsha can deal damage, this is usually not a priority task in the context of combat. However, if you want to increase your own DPS healer outside of penetration (if other important characteristics are not in short supply), you can look for crit. damage and crit. chance in the sub-stats. In the points presented below, we will tell you in more detail how to assemble Linsha in XSR.

Recommended Specs

The main indicators recommended in artifacts:

Relic	Main characteristic
Head	HP (permanent)
Arms	Attack Power (Permanent)
Body	Healing Bonus
Legs	Speed
planar sphere	ATK
Connecting rope	Energy recovery (priority); penetration effect (situational)

As additional stats, we recommend considering:

• speed;
• penetration effect;
• Attack Power;
• HP, defense and resistance to effects;
• Crit. damage and crit. chance are optional.

Stat values ​​at level 80

Stats that are recommended to strive for when reaching the maximum character level:

• Penetration effect: from 100% - the minimum threshold; 200% - to get the full buff from the "Bright Red Flame" trail; 250% - when using the "Iron Cavalry Against the Invasion" set.
• ATK: from 2 units.
• Speed: from 151/160 units (at a lower rate, bonuses to speed during combat or the ability to advance the action are desirable).
• Health: from 3-000 units.
• DEF: from 800 units

How to collect 200% penetration effect

The penetration effect has a significant impact on the heroine's potential, since with the first trace it increases the attack and outgoing healing. Let's look at how this stat can be increased:

• Pumping of traces - 37,3%.
• 2x2 Relic Combination with "Iron Cavalry Against Invasion" - 16%.
• planar decorations "Talia - the land of bandits" — 36% or Lotus Lantern Palace - 40%.
• light cone "What is reality" — 48% (S5) or signature cone "Only the aroma remains true" — 60% (S1).
• Ruan Mei - 20% (trace "Inert Breath").
• False Pathfinder - 52,5% (150% EP, E4, ult lvl 10).
• "The Watchmaker of Sleepy Shenanigans" on the of the Path of Harmony - 30%.
• Connecting rope - 64,8%.

Total increase: about 304,6%-320,6%.

Please note that this is a count of available sources of EP, and does not take into sub-stats or factors such as character availability and build selection. For this reason, items can be adjusted or excluded depending on the situation.

Best light cone

When considering a weapon for Linsha, consider the Path it belongs to. In this case, it requires Abundance for the ive effect to work. Among the bonuses, the following are recommended: penetration effect, attack power, healing bonus, energy recovery speed or buffs for allies.

Linsha's signature "Only the Aroma Will Remain" is an optimal and one of the best light cones, which will perfectly fit into any builds and situations due to the available buffs. Alternative weapon "cards" are similarly presented in the table below.

Best relics

Linsha's artifacts, like weapons, should be aimed at developing her healing abilities, i.e. increasing the penetration effect, attack power, or giving a healing bonus. In addition, sets with speed and energy recovery are useful.

cave relics

planar decorations

Detachments

In HSR, Linsha takes the position of a healer and s the survivability of allies. In addition, she can act as a secondary damage dealer and debuffer. As a follower of the Path of Abundance, she is in demand in many compositions, but is best revealed in:

• Commands from penetration. Linsha applies the weakening "Foggy", which increases the damage from penetration, and also quite well reduces durability with her abilities.
• Squads from bonus attack. In this case, the heroine personally benefits from the mass enhancements that are usually presented in such groups. At the same time, she helps with additional damage in the area.

Best characters

Most of the game characters fit into the team with Linsha due to her usefulness and effectiveness. Each of them is distributed by roles in the tables below.

• Main DPS characters:

• Secondary DPS characters:

• s that provide positive bonuses to allies or apply debuffs to enemies:

Top Teams

Using the characters presented above, the following teams can be formed with Linsha:

While offering a detailed Linsha guide in Honkai: Star Rail, it is also important to mention budget builds that include free and epic characters.

Is it worth knocking out?

Lingsha is a healer with a variety of functions. She is able to heal, debuff and deal good area damage, providing to allies in many ways. Her main feature is in the summoned creature - Fuyuan. The assistant is a bonus attack and resembles the ant Topaz or the Lightning Lord Jin Yuan. This creature acts as a ive source of healing, damage and allows you to remove debuffs from all allies.

As a character, Linsha is a versatile unit that can fit into most builds and provide significant utility. However, her mechanics favor interactions with certain types of heroes. For example, the negative status "Foggy" increases the damage taken by enemies from penetration, and the healer herself benefits greatly from the penetration effect. Do not forget about Fuyuan, which is considered a bonus attack and deals damage throughout the fight.

Based on this, Linsha is worth knocking out if:

• Need a healer for the team to combat penetration, Gallagher is missing, or it is not pumped up.
• It is necessary to supplement the squad with a character capable of consistently dealing damage with active skills or a bonus attack. In particular, this beneficial for Feixiao.
• Missing a second healer to complete the process "Pure fiction".

The heroine cannot be called irreplaceable in all the above cases, but it should be said that she fulfills the tasks set 100%. As for the assembly, there are many budget alternatives as equipment, and eidolons are not mandatory. The main difficulty may be that for full disclosure, not only attack power, healing bonus and speed are required, but also a significant amount of the penetration effect.

Linsha or Gallagher E6: Character Comparison

Linsha and Gallagher have similar mechanics that are in demand in specific builds. In this regard, the question may arise - is it worth pumping Linsha if you already have Gallagher on your ? Let's compare the two characters based on their key abilities. Considering that the bartender is an epic hero, he is considered with the maximum number of eidolons.

Lingsha Bonuses (E0)	Gallagher Bonuses (E6)
The beginning of the battle: does not attack with the technique, but applies a buff, which allows you to combine this skill with main DD and deal more damage at the start.	The beginning of the battle: when using the technique, attacks the enemy, which makes it impossible to start a battle for the main damage dealer, while maintaining the effect of the weakening.
Increased penetration damage: The "Fog" status increases the damage taken by enemies from penetration by 25% (Ultimate level 10).	Increased penetration damage: The "Dead Drunk" status increases the target's received penetration damage by 13,2% (Level 10 Talent, E5).
Combat potential: Can deal up to 60 stamina damage. Damages with ult, basic attack, skill, bonus attack.	Combat potential: Can periodically deal 72 stamina damage (E6). Deals damage with ult and basic attack.
Treatment: heals instantly with skill and ult, and ively with talent bonus attack. There is emergency healing from the trace "Echo of smoldering embers".	Treatment: Restores HP instantly with skill and ively with talent when the "Dead Drunk" status is active when allies hit enemies.
Removing Debuffs: Removes negative status from all allies with a bonus attack.	Removing Debuffs: Removes a negative effect from one ally with a skill (E2).
Consuming skill points: It is necessary to use the skill periodically to maintain Fuyuan on the battlefield.	Consuming skill points: Uses the skill only in cases where it is necessary to urgently heal an ally.
Applying debuffs: "Foggy" status from using superpower.	Applying debuffs: "Dead Drunk" status from talent and attack power reduction from enhanced basic attack.
Synergy: in addition to units from penetration, it is suitable for characters for whom the number of attacks is important (Feixiao, Jasper). In addition, it combines well with those who have mechanics related to the bonus attack (Topaz, Zaryanka).	Synergy: just like Linsha, she shows herself well in builds that play from penetration. At the same time, she becomes advantageous in combination with damage dealers that need weakening (Doctor Ratio, Acheron).

Conclusion: Linsha, being a legendary event hero, is more convenient and stronger than Gallagher in many ways. However, the difference between them is not that significant, especially if the bartender is fully pumped and has all the eidolons. In this case, from the point of view of optimal resource distribution, it is more expedient to knock out "Only the aroma will remain" for him to further enhance his potential. However, it is obvious that if you want and can invest in Linsha, a squad with her will show itself better in any case.

Which is better: signal or E1

Signature Cone "Only the Aroma Remains" is a versatile choice that will suit any team or situation. Even at the initial awakening level, the weapon provides 60% penetration effect, which is very important for the character. In addition, it increases the damage that es through enemies.

E1 can become more profitable in teams focused on breaking through vulnerability: after the full reduction of durability, the defense of opponents decreases, and Linsha herself gets the opportunity to deplete the stamina bar faster. All this will be in great demand in such groups.

Achievements

There is one achievement associated with the character:

• Marshmallow Bunny - Make Lingsha hold Fuyuan on the battlefield until she wins one battle. Reward: star jade ×5.
