Honkai Star Rail Luocha Build Guide: Relics, Light Cones And Teams

Luocha, a tall blonde character in Honkai Star Rail, possesses an enigmatic presence that has captivated everyone. In the main Xianzhou story arc, Luocha appears as a wandering merchant. His unique abilities in combat are connected to a mysterious coffin that accompanies him, providing restorative assistance to allies on the battlefield.

This article provides a comprehensive overview of Luocha, including valuable information on how to optimize his performance by selecting the most suitable equipment. As mentioned, Luocha is classified as a healer and is aligned with the Abundance Path. Notably, his introduction in version 1.1 marks his status as the third Imaginary character in the game, joining the ranks of Welt and Yukong.

1. Luocha abilities in Honkai Star Rail

Luocha, classified as an Abundance character, possesses abilities that revolve around healing his teammates using his own ATK stat. While his regular attacks are designed to inflict damage upon enemies, his skill is intended to restore his allies' HP while granting him a unique buff known as Abyss Flower.

Furthermore, when activating his ultimate ability, Luocha inflicts Imaginary damage upon all enemies present on the battlefield, while also obtaining an additional stack of Abyss Flower. Once this particular stack reaches two, Luocha consumes all accumulated Abyss Flowers, creating a special field on the battlefield that lasts for two turns.

When other characters within this field attack an enemy, they have the ability to heal themselves based on Luocha's ATK stat. Consequently, by utilizing Luocha's skill multiple times or by executing both the skill and ultimate consecutively, it becomes feasible to consistently accumulate two stacks of Abyss Flowers.

2. Best Build for Luocha

Luocha best Light cone

Luocha's best-in-slot Light Cone, known as "Echoes of the Coffin," is exclusively obtainable through the Gacha banner. Like other signature gear pieces, players can expect a separate banner dedicated to this specific item alongside Luocha's limited-character banner. However, there are also decent options available for Free-to-Play (F2P) players.

The "Time Waits for No One" Light Cone can be purchased from the Starlight Exchange shop for 600 Undying Starlight. This gear piece increases the user's maximum HP and enhances outgoing healing, although Luocha will only benefit from the latter effect.

The Echoes of the Coffin offers a boost to the wearer's ATK stat and grants energy regeneration based on the number of different enemies struck. Additionally, using Luocha's ultimate ability will provide SPD (speed) to all allies for one turn.

Lastly, the Quid Pro Quo is a viable 4-star F2P option for Luocha. It can restore the energy of any ally with less than 50% energy.

Best Relics for Luocha

To optimize Luocha's performance, it is recommended to equip the Passerby of Wandering Cloud 4-set, which enhances the user's outgoing healing and restores one skill point at the beginning of a battle. Additionally, the Space Sealing Station is the ideal Planar Ornament set to enhance Luocha's ATK stat.

Relic stat recommendations

Main stats:

• Attack

Sub-stats:

• Outgoing healing boost
• Imaginary damage bonus

3. Best Luocha team in Honkai: Star Rail

Luocha stands out as a distinct character in Honkai: Star Rail due to his exceptional versatility, setting him apart from many others. As one of the limited healing units, he becomes a valuable asset to any character in the game.

Thanks to his remarkable healing support skills, Luocha can seamlessly fit into various team compositions and achieve great success, regardless of his allies.

Luocha, Welt, Gepard, and Yukong

A highly effective team composition, which is also relatively straightforward to assemble, consists of Luocha as the sole featured five-star character, alongside Welt and Gepard as the standard five-star assets. Additionally, the debut of the four-star character Yukong occurs on Luocha's banner.

For players who have saved up to acquire Luocha, obtaining both Luocha and Yukong should be reasonably achievable, assuming favorable outcomes from the gacha system and the pity system. Obtaining both Welt and Gepard might prove more challenging, but players can ensure obtaining one of them by reaching 300 pulls on the standard banner.

Luocha, Seele, Jing Yuan, and Bronya

This team composition is a strong and well-balanced lineup, but it can be quite expensive to assemble due to featuring two five-star recruits and two standard five-star characters.

In this lineup, Seele serves as the primary damage dealer, delivering the highest amount of damage. Jing Yuan takes on the role of the secondary damage dealer, capable of inflicting damage on multiple enemies simultaneously and providing support to Seele, who excels in devastating single-target damage.

Bronya enhances the team's attack power, making her a valuable ally for all teammates, particularly Seele and Jing Yuan, as they are the main damage dealers in this lineup.

If you didn't manage to obtain both Seele and Jing Yuan during the Version 1.0 launch of Honkai: Star Rail, you can substitute Jing Yuan with Himeko, who is also part of the Erudition path and possesses similar but slightly less potent abilities. While no single-target DPS unit can match Seele's capabilities, Yanqing is a decent alternative if Seele is not available.

Luocha, Kafka, Sampo, and Hook

Assembling this team may require some patience as Kafka is not expected to be recruitable until the Version 1.2 update, according to current leaks. However, players have already had the opportunity to test her skillset, providing insight into how she functions, and it is evident that she will synergize exceptionally well with Luocha.

This team composition revolves around dealing damage over time and adopting a long-term strategy. Kafka serves as the primary damage dealer, applying potent debuffs and consistent damage over time. Hook and Sampo also contribute as damage-focused units within the lineup.

Luocha fulfills his role as a healer, providing crucial support to the team by ensuring the well-being and vitality of his allies as they steadily drain the enemy's health over time. This team may not achieve instant success, but for those who exercise patience, they will gradually accumulate substantial damage over time.
