Role |
Healer/Support |
Lingsha’s gameplay revolves around her 3 main mechanics:
- The first is her ability to deal AOE Fire elemental damage to break enemies’ weakness bar and inflict enemies with a debuff that increases the Break Damage they take when allies break their weakness bar.
- The second is her ability to summon a familiar that deals follow up attacks and can be advanced forward whenever Lingsha uses Skill or Ultimate.
- The third is her ability as a healer, as she will heal all of her teammates whenever her or her familiar attacks the enemies, with the healing amount increasing proportional to her Attack stat.
Trace Priorities
As Lingsha is extremely versatile as both a Break Support/Healer and a potential DPS character, her trace priorities change depending on which Lingsha the player is attempting to build.
If you are trying to build a Break-centric Lingsha for Break teams, then you need to prioritize her Talent and Ultimate as the Talent allows her to summon her familiar and heal allies, while her Ultimate inflicts a debuff that increase the Break Damage enemies takes, the higher the level of the Ultimate, the more powerful the debuff is, up to 25% increased Break Damage.
If you are trying to build a Crit-centric Lingsha to make her a Follow-Up Attack DPS, you need to prioritize her Talent, Skill and Ultimate as the damage modifier increase through leveling will affect Lingsha’s final damage output as a DPS option.
Overall, in terms of priorities, Players should prioritize leveling up Lingsha’s traces in this order: Ultimate = Talent > Skill = Normal Attacks.
Bonus Abilities
All three of Lingsha’s bonus abilities are crucial for her as both Break Damage Damage Healer/Support and a potential DPS, as all of them provide her with important utilities that affect her playstyle
- Her 1st Bonus Ability grants her 10 extra energy whenever she uses her Normal Attacks, allowing her to recover her Ultimate faster.
- Her 2nd Bonus Ability grants her a 50% Attack and a 20% Outgoing Healing boost proportional to her Break Effect (maxed out at 200% Break Effect)
- Finally, her 3rd Bonus Ability makes it so that her familiar will immediately take action whenever someone in the party takes damage that makes their HP fall below 60%. This ability is an excellent emergency heal option to help allies heal back the damage they took from enemies when the familiar deals damage. This Ability can trigger twice per battle.
Players should get all 3 of her Bonus Ability as soon as possible as they all contribute to Lingsha’s kit and her utility in battle.
Best Light Cones for Lingsha Builds
Lingsha Best in Slot Light Cone is of course, her signature Light Cone - Scent Alone Stays True - and the Light Cone will be rerun alongside Lingsha’s rerun banner in version 3.0
- Scent Alone Stays True (5-star Limited Light Cone):
Effect: Increases the wearer's Break Effect by 60%. After the wearer uses Ultimate to attack enemy targets, inflicts the targets with the "Woefree" state, lasting for 2 turns. While in "Woefree," enemy targets take 10% increased DMG. The effect of increasing DMG taken is additionally boosted by 8% if the wearer's current Break Effect is 150% or higher.
Best Alternative Lightcones
For Alternative Lightcones, players should consider the following options if they can not give Lingsha her signature Light Cone:
- Night of Fright (5-star Limited Light Cone):
Effect: Increases the wearer's Energy Regeneration Rate by 12%. When any ally uses their Ultimate, the wearer restores HP for the ally currently with the lowest HP percentage by an amount equal to 10% of the healed ally's Max HP. When the wearer provides healing for an ally, increases the healed ally's ATK by 2.4%. This effect can stack up to 5 times and lasts for 2 turn(s).
- Post-Op Conversation (4-star Light Cone):
Effect: Increases the wearer's Energy Regeneration Rate by 8% and increases Outgoing Healing when they use their Ultimate by 12%.
Relics, Ornaments & Stats
Relics
For Lingsha’s best set of Relics, players should aim for a 4 piece Iron Calvary Against the Scourge set, which is her best in slot Relic Set by far.
- Iron Calvary Against the Scourge
2-Pc: Increases Break Effect by 16%.
4-Pc: If the wearer's Break Effect is 150% or higher, the Break DMG dealt to the enemy target ignores 10% of their DEF. If the wearer's Break Effect is 250% or higher, the Super Break DMG dealt to the enemy target additionally ignores 15% of their DEF.
- Thief of shooting Meteor
Thief of Shooting Meteor is a lower-tier substitute for Iron Calvary Against the Scourge. It’s a solid option if you haven’t got Iron Calvary Against the Scourge yet, or if you’re new in the game.
2-Pc: Increases Break Effect by 16%.
4-Pc: Increases the wearer's Break Effect by 16%. When the wearer inflicts Weakness Break on an enemy, regenerates 3 Energy.
Ornaments
For Ornaments, Lingsha’s BiS Ornament set is her signature’s Forge’s Lotus Lantern Wick, which grants her extra Spd Stats and increases her Break Effect Damage against enemies with Fire Weaknesses.
- Forge’s Lotus Lantern Wick
2-Pc: Increases the wearer's SPD by 6%. When the wearer hits an enemy target that has Fire Weakness, the wearer's Break Effect increases by 40%, lasting for 1 turn(s).
Recommended Main & Sub Stats
For Main Stats, Players should aim for these main stats on their Relics & Ornaments:
For Break-centric Lingsha:
- Body: Outgoing Healing%
- Feet: Speed
- Planar Sphere: Attack%
- Link Rope: Break Effect%
For Crit-centric Lingsha:
- Body: Crit Rate/Crit Damage%
- Feet: Speed
- Planar Sphere: Attack/ Fire Damage Bonus%
- Link Rope: Break Effect%
For Sub Stats, Players should aim for these sub stats for all of Lingsha’s Relics & Ornaments Pieces depending on which Lingsha build you are aiming for:
For Break-centric Lingsha:
- Break Effect = Spd > Attack% > Attack > All Other Stats
For Crit-centric Lingsha:
- Spd = Crit Rate% = Crit Damage% > Break Effect = Attack% > Attack > All Other Stats
It is important to note that there are a few stats benchmarks players should hit when building Lingsha in order to ensure that she can reach her fullest potential in battle:
- Lingsha need as much Break Effect as possible (at least 200% Break Effect When She Is In Battle)
- Lingsha need to have decent to high speed in order to take turns ( preferably 145 Spd and above)
- For Break-centric Lingsha, you DO NOT need to prioritize Crit Stats, so focus on giving her Attack% stat to increase her healing instead.
- For Crit-centric Lingsha, you should aim for a 1/2 Crit rate to Crit damage ratio, with a heavier emphasis on Crit Rate% as Lingsha will be run with supports that can boost her Crit Damage.
Best Lingsha Teams
As Lingsha is an extremely versatile character with a skill kit that covers almost every single thing in the game, players can slot her in multiple different teams based on how you build her:
For Break-centric Lingsha:
In a Break Team, Lingsha can take the role of either a support/healer or as the main Break DPS option:
- Lingsha Support Break Team: Main Break DPS (Firefly/Boothill/Rappa) + Ruan Mei + Fugue / Harmony Trailblazer + Lingsha.
- Lingsha Break DPS Carry Team: Lingsha + Ruan Mei + Fugue + Harmony Trailblazer
Explanation:
- Main Break DPS: This role can be fulfilled by characters such as Firefly, Boothill or Rappa due to their skill kit allowing them to deal massive amounts of Break Damage. However, Lingsha herself can also be a Main Break DPS option due to her powerful skill kit.
- Support 1: Ruan Mei fills this support role in most Break teams due to her insane utility.
- Support 2/3 : In a normal Break team, Fugue and Harmony Trailblazer will compete for the 2nd Support slot and leave the last slot for a Healer/Sustain unit. However, in a Lingsha Break Hypercarry team, due to her ability to heal when dealing damage, players can instead opt to slot in a 3rd support slot, making use of both Harmony Trailblazer and Fugue.
For Crit-centric Lingsha:
The best team for a crit centric Lingsha is as an AOE DPS option for Follow Up Attack team:
- Lingsha Crit Hypercarry: Lingsha + Robin + Sunday + another DPS/Support
Explanation:
- Main DPS: Lingsha serves as the hypercarry DPS option in this team and will receive all the buffs from other supporters.
- Support 1: Robin is the best support option for a crit-centric Lingsha, as she will massively boost the Follow Up damage of Lingsha and her familiar.
- Support 2: Sunday is slotted in as he can massively boost the Crit damage output of Lingsha and even advance her and her familiar to action immediately, helping her to deal damage.
- Support 3/ Sub DPS: A normal team would require a sustain unit in the last slot, however, thanks to Lingsha healing ability, players can slot in a 3rd support option like Sparkle or Bronya or put a sub DPS option here.
Conclusion
Lingsha is a powerful Fire attribute path of Abundance character who excels at both healing and enhancing her team’s effectiveness. Her combination of healing, Break Effect, and team buffs makes her an ideal support character for a wide variety of team compositions.
