Mastering the Secrets of Honkai: Demystifying Luocha in Star Rail

Highlights

Luocha, the third healer in Honkai: Star Rail, has a unique healing build that scales off of his ATK, making him a viable sub-DPS party member in certain builds.

Players should strive for approximately 2000 ATK for Luocha, as anything above that is superfluous and would be a misallocation of his sub stats. Optimizing his potential involves striking a balance between critical stats and speed.

For optimizing Luocha's healing abilities, it is advisable to equip him with The Passerby of Wandering Cloud and Musketeer of Wild Wheat sets, which provide healing and ATK buffs. It is also important for team compositions to be adaptable in order to accommodate Luocha's healing capabilities.

In version 1.1, players of Honkai: Star Rail were introduced to Luocha, the third in-game healer. His abilities impressed and pleased players. Fans of Honkai: Star Rail who had also played Honkai Impact 3rd, another game by HoYoVerse, were a bit apprehensive about his resemblance to Otto. However, for now, there is no need to worry, especially when it comes to his unique abilities.

Unlike other characters in the game, Luocha's healing power is based on his ATK. This makes him an interesting choice for players, as he can also serve as a sub-DPS party member in certain builds. Not only can he heal teammates significantly, often fully healing them with just one skill, but he can also deal a considerable amount of damage alongside that.

Honkai: Star Rail -- Using Luocha's Kit

One important thing for Honkai: Star Rail players to remember is that excessive amounts of anything can be unnecessary. While Luocha heals based on his ATK, many players find that a suitable stopping point is 2k ATK. Anything beyond that is considered excessive and a waste of his sub stats. This is where Luocha's potential as a sub-DPS character comes into play. It is up to the player to decide what other attributes to focus on. Balancing crit stats and increasing SPD will effectively utilize the "empty" stats that players need to fill.

As one of the rare fictional characters, players should prioritize farming for Luocha's ascension materials before worrying about obtaining relics. After all, if players are unable to use him effectively due to the fear of him being defeated in one turn, their efforts in relic farming would be in vain. Once players are ready for relic farming, they should prioritize acquiring a 2pc Passerby of Wandering Cloud set and a 2pc Musketeer of Wild Wheat set. These sets provide him with beneficial bonuses such as outgoing healing and ATK buffs that align perfectly with his abilities.

After selecting Luocha's light cone, players have a multitude of options to choose from. If his stats support his healing abilities, players should focus on enhancing his sub-DPS capabilities. However, if players find themselves in a balanced position, the decision mostly relies on the available options. Honkai: Star Rail fans will find numerous in-game shops with attractive choices for Luocha. Even if players have a mediocre light cone, if the relic sub stats are strong, there is less cause for concern.

While it is important to consider the optimal build for Luocha individually, it is equally important for players to consider the teammates he will be sharing the battlefield with. The team compositions for Luocha in Honkai: Star Rail are as varied as its diverse cast. Since Luocha primarily serves as a healer, he can adapt to fill in flexible or healer roles within preset compositions. One popular pairing for Luocha is Blade, as his abilities often cause heavy self-damage. Their synergy should not be overlooked, although it is understandable that players may not have access to specific five-star characters within the first year of the game's release.

Regardless, using a template comp and aligning it with the resources players possess can simplify the decision of where to position Luocha. Typical Honkai: Star Rail teams consist of a DPS, support, healer, and a flexible slot. By assessing the roles that are already filled, players can readily determine the optimal placement of Luocha to enhance his usefulness.

Honkai: Star Rail can now be enjoyed on Mobile, PC, and PS5 platforms.
