Lingsha Could Take Honkai: Star Rail's Strongest Team Comp to New Heights

Highlights

  • Lingsha could surpass Gallagher in Firefly teams with her consistent debuffs and super break damage potential.
  • Her summon, Fuyuan, helps in action advances and healing, offering more value than Gallagher in team compositions.
  • Lingsha’s synergy with follow-up characters makes her a versatile choice for players seeking a powerful Abundance character.

As a seasoned veteran of Honkai: Star Rail, I’ve seen my share of characters come and go, each with their unique quirks and abilities. But Lingsha, oh boy, she’s something special! The leaks about her kit have me buzzing like a Firefly on overdrive.

Titles like Honkai: Star Rail sometimes see characters with unique synergies or mechanics being overshadowed by newer limited units that boast improved features. For instance, Gepard was exceptional as a Preservation character due to his ultimate and technique providing a significant shield to all allies. However, he’s often ranked lower than Aventurine in many fan tier lists today because the latter can offer similar strong shields more reliably with his skill. This pattern could also apply to one of the top team compositions in the game once Lingsha is released, as she may assume the same role as its current four-star sustain unit and potentially outperform them.

Based on recent leaks from the game Honkai Star Rail, it appears that Lingsha adheres to the path of Prosperity and primarily wields Fire as her dominant element. A leaked video additionally hints at her wandering with her companion, Fuyuan, much like how Numby accompanies Topaz in battle. Lingsha’s kit is designed to excel in breaking weaknesses, advancing actions, and following up on them, giving her a high degree of versatility in combat.

Why Lingsha Could be the Best-in-Slot Sustain for Firefly in Honkai: Star Rail

As a gamer, I’ve got some exciting news about Lingsha’s leaked in-game kit. Her unique status effect is called Befog, which amps up the break damage enemies take from Lingsha’s teammates by as much as 30%! This is perfect for Firefly and Co., who are all about swiftly chipping away at an enemy’s durability and unleashing massive super break damage. She can keep Befog active for two turns with her special abilities.

  • Ultimate (Dripping Mistscape): This inflicts Befog on enemies on top of dealing fire damage up to 187% of Lingsha’s ATK stat.
  • Technique (Wisps of Aurora): This immediately casts Befog on enemies and summons Fuyuan in the following combat encounter.

Lingsha’s Befog is a Consistent and Strong Weakness Break Debuff

Gallagher is a suitable addition to the Firefly Super Break team due to his unique ability to inflict substantial break damage using his fundamental attack and ultimate, given his current status and trace stats. However, Lingsha could be an alternative choice since her skillset allows her to regularly weaken enemies, thereby increasing the amount of break damage they sustain – a trait that Firefly, at four-star level, seems to lack. The addition of these debuffs might further amplify Firefly’s already impressive Super Break damage, potentially surpassing the 300,000 mark.

Lingsha Could Overtake Gallagher in Action Advances and Healing

In the game “Honkai: Star Rail,” both Gallagher and Lingsha are characters who excel at executing multiple actions swiftly. While Gallagher uses his enhanced basic attack after his ult, along with the Multiplication light cone, to deal damage and heal himself, Lingsha can accelerate her summon’s actions using only her skill. This allows her to inflict more instances of toughness damage on enemies than Gallagher. Moreover, Lingsha’s skill not only damages enemies but also heals allies, providing a greater overall benefit compared to Gallagher’s single-target healing through his skill.

How Lingsha Could Fit Into Other Team Comps

Lingsha’s ability summons Fuyuan, who performs follow-up attacks and heals allies while they are taking action. Each time Lingsha uses her skill or ultimate, the actions of these allies are boosted. This makes Fuyuan a great fit for teams that use Topaz, Dr. Ratio, and Robin. It’s intriguing to see how she might compare with Aventurine, who is currently the top choice for follow-up team compositions. Additionally, Lingsha could serve as an effective break support for The Hunt form on March 7th. This is because The Hunt form improves its toughness damage using a basic attack when assigned to certain characters (Abundance, Harmony, Preservation, or Nihility). If Fuyuan can build up March’s enhanced basic attack stacks every time it attacks an enemy, the synergy between them could be even stronger.

A good break team consists of characters that can improve their allies’ ability to get the enemies to their weakness break state as fast as possible through buffs/debuffs or attacking multiple times. Lingsha covers all these bases and more. If the leaks are accurate, she could be the premium sustain unit for Firefly, while also fitting into other break-focused teams with Boothill and Xueyi. Her synergy with follow-up characters also makes her a versatile pull for players looking for a powerful Abundance character to round out their roster. However, the leaked information about her kit is still early information and may be subject to change until the character gets officially released.
