Light Cone
Lingsha’s Lightcone, another leaked detail, sheds light on their potential Break Effect focus. The Lightcone’s passive reportedly grants a 60% Break Effect boost. Additionally, attacking enemies grants Lingsha “Benefits” stacks, which in turn increase the team’s speed. If Lingsha surpasses a specific Break Effect threshold, the buff extends to all allies.
Based on the leaks, Lingsha appears to be a valuable hybrid character, offering both support and damage potential. Similar to Topaz, they can buff allies while dishing out fire damage and aiding in enemy takedowns.
Eidolons
Eidolons play a crucial role in empowering characters, and Lingsha is no exception. Leaks suggest her Eidolons offer significant buffs that synergize with her skillset, boosting her utility and overall impact. Here’s a glimpse into what her Eidolons might provide (note that these are leaks and subject to change):
- Bloom on Vileward Bouquet: Lingsha’s Weakness Break Efficiency increases by 50%. When an enemy’s Weakness is Broken, reduces their DEF by 20%.
- Leisure in Carmine Smokeveil: When using Ultimate, all allies’ Break Effect increases by 40%, lasting for 3 turn(s).
- Redolence from Canopied Banquet: During Fuyuan’s action, restores HP equal to 40% of Lingsha’s ATK for the ally with the currently lowest HP percentage.
- Arcadia Under Deep Seclusion: While Fuyuan is present on the battlefield, all enemies’ All-Type RES reduces by 20%. Fuyuan’s attack additionally deals 3 hit(s) of DMG, with each hit dealing Fire DMG equal to 50% of Lingsha’s ATK and 5 Toughness Reduction.
With her intriguing rabbit mechanic, Lingsha looks poised to be a valuable asset for any team composition in Honkai Star Rail . Stay tuned for further updates as we uncover more about this exciting character!
