Is Lingsha Still Worth It in 3.0? | Honkai Star Rail

[@sugar-lx1jz]

If you main break team the answer is no longer yes or no, it's simply a "MUST". 3.x is very aoe meta focus anyway. Also her e1 is quite important if you want to run a "No Ruan Mei" break team since this will definitely help the entire team's breaking with fugue.

[@andrewnguyen4028]

Not a must if you keep your MC harmony

[@sugar-lx1jz]

@@andrewnguyen4028 Assuming you're running 0 sustain, no? Even then it's still very risky since we're getting more toughness locked enemies in 3.x so running a healer will be safer in the long run.

[@malificajones7674]

Lingsha is an absolute beast. She breaks enemy teams super fast, especially when paired up with Fugue and Firefly. The fact that they're all fire element gives them incredible synergy as a team.

[@Kraken-w1n]

Sunday kidnapped my Fugue and sent Bronya in my pulls instead. I pulled him E0S1 and he treats me like this.

[@Ixs4i]

lingsha is hilarious because she can turn into a dps using a "sustainless" comp (fugue rm hmc) while also being a healer anyway. out of everyone i own definitely the unit that surprised me the most in how useful she's been.

[@stormer2349]

I think Lingsha lightcone is honestly a good shout, if you have Acheron, and don’t have a Pres character with Trend. The debuff on her LC, and her ult makes her a decent Acheron sustain option.

[@XieRH1988]

incoming character that saps life? time to dust off the old reliable Luocha

[@Napat-YTsBS]

E6S1-ing her since day 1. At first I just in love with her visual, VA, and personality design, but as time passes, I come to know that she is super good with every endgame modes. (Speaking from my experience with her E6S1)

[@drakehound2244]

Yeah at E6 her bunny becomes Super Saiyan Gouko Bunny... who can't even be killed unless Lingsha is killed.

[@aortaheart1910]

Perhaps counterintuitive, but I think the best case scenario for rolling Lingsha right now (aside from whether or not you have two limited sustains) is if you do not already have a break driver. This is because if you roll Fugue as well, you now have a powerful weakness-ignoring team of a new archetype without needing to roll any dedicated drivers. This is extremely powerful because these both Fugue and Lingsha could work with a future remembrance break driver, and in any case will retain relevancy much better than any driver. Even if you choose not to roll Fugue for being more specialized, you are basically anchoring your performance in fire-weak end-game content through archetype diversification and team power improvement. The problem with rolling Lingsha while already having a break driver is that Gallagher exists. Yes, he brings a lot less to the table than Lingsha, and yes, he can't be act like a driver in the same way Lingsha can. However, he is so good (especially at E2+) that he is most of the way to being a last generation limited sustain, which is to say, he still is working quite well. When we think about replacing him with Lingsha in a break team, we are looking at a functional unit replaced with an exemplary unit, whose main benefits are introducing passive cleansing along with more toughness damage and healing. The amount that Lingsha brings of these benefits is very significant, but can this truly compare to the potential of upcoming sustain units? And if you have a break driver already, you are not getting yourself a new archetype, and the Lingsha driver team is in fact a sidegrade to your existing break team that leaves your former driver benched. If you have any preexisting interest in future characters, I think the opportunity cost is much too high since the way Hoyo is designing kits, it's likely that future sustains will be more powerful and work better with the newer units. We must remember that ultimately, sustains do not have the same pull priority as supports. Yes, they are most of the way there when paired with certain archetypes, but ultimately their synergy is less uniquely powerful. The reality is that you can make do with older sustains like Luocha or Fu Xuan for now and wait for a unit that brings more unique tools to your account.

[@lazaruslong697]

I can't believe we're now having a discussion if a unit is worth it 3 patches after release. And not even DPS, but a cracked sustain. That's what powercreep going at warpspeed does to a mf'er.

[@MapleYum]

She’s incredible. I skipped Feixiao for her and haven’t looked back. I already had two good teams with Archeron and Firefly, so that made the decision easier.

[@ericks1979]

My e0s0 Lingsha can 40k pure fiction with Sunday/ Fugue/ HMC, who needs a dps. I'm going for her e1

[@MHa-ok8vq]

Who need a dps she is a dps xD

[@Joo00393]

Her design alone is enough lol

[@MrMcjiggins]

True, she is a god damn queen.

[@JH-no8sy]

If she didn’t have break utility I wouldn’t pull for her because too many characters look similar and I’m tired of the Luofu.

[@zeronin4696]

I dont like the red parts of her limbs but other than that shes very pretty yes but who isnt in asian game 😅

[@ZeroTwo518]

U don't need to pull her to enjoy design there are other ways 😉

[@legendaryswordsman653]

I see a lot of people saving for castoire after they gave us the short today. Abraxas will probably be op for sustain whenever he comes out

[@Shane_A_M]

I like that she has team archetype overlap with both Break and FUA. Overlap is really good for supports like this in gacha games since we simply can’t pull for everyone. Lingsha debuffs too, so really she can be used effectively with all of the current big 3, Acheron, FeiXiao, and Firefly. Granted we don’t really know how 3.X is going to shape up, but I do think Lingsha’s team versatility will still be a big pro.

[@Icedxylophone]

I have E2FF, Fugue and RM, I have too many skill points that I don't know what to do with, atm it's been sustainless with MC, or Adventurine/Fu Xuan. Not sure if she is worth it for me, but I would imagine I could use her skill often enough for her to seem like a dps.

[@CrimsonMonarch]

That's my situation too, going sustainless or with Gallagher. Plus having luocha and HH, don't need a fourth sustain yet.

[@sussussy255]

i would wait for upcoming sustains

[@findingbory2144]

She's my favorite character for sure. So many ways to use her and I use her as a hyper carry with sunday e1s1

[@pralenkaman8105]

I managed to not pull any of the 3 break dps in 2.x despite having a well built ruan mei and HMC plus fugue.... lingsha is now my dedicated break dps and the best part is........ she 5 cycles true sting, a boss with no fire weakness and mostly single target focus but also aoe friendly

[@Ghalion666]

Didn't watch video, but she's clearly the best sustain in the game IMO, and I'm a Fu Xuan simp, so yeah. That being said, it's been awhile since her release, and if you don't NEED a sustain, just imagine how good the next one will be! Can't imagine someone this late in the game needing a sustain still though. I myself have no limited sustains other than Fu Xuan and I'm still doing fine.

[@neonh3043]

Currently my only 5* sustain is Fu Xuan and I already have Fugue so Lingsha is No. 1 priority for me in 3.0

[@drakehound2244]

Lingsha is a MUST PULL if you struggle with DPS and Sustain. you know when you struggle when you cannot keep up. Lingsha Combo Value with Fugue is huge those 2 allows you to survive in many AP MOC even PF that you would normally struggle unless you min max a team relics etc. Lingsha can be twinked with relics to be a Main DPS, cause of traces combination (best in game sofar) even her basic attack refunds 30 energy. her E0S0 is equal to many E2/E4 that is why her eidolons are so rubbish, main damage heals and cleanse comes from The Bunny. So she already counts as 2 characters and she can action advance her own bunny.

[@usmansubhani7482]

I almost thought of pulling for The Herta until I realised how much I didn’t need her. Lingsha, on the other hand, could potentially complete my first Break team on a premium level. I’ll have to wait for AFTER the fate collab though. 80 pulls right now cannot guarantee what I want when I actually want it. I’ll need at least 320 pulls to be in a good place in the Fate Collab.

[@eugenejohnpurificacion500]

Since she already having her rerun, Im gonna pull her now… well, that’s the original plan, albeit too early to come… 😂

[@oOoSHEPARDoOo]

I'm definitely going to pull her because i need a good heal sustain for Castorice and currently my only healers are Gallagher and Bailu. First i was thinking to wait for a probably coming healer in 3.x but i dont want to wait and if there is a BiS healer coming for Castorice she is still a insane upgrade for my break team.

[@gustykraken]

I've been running e1 gepard since version 1, I'm not sure how much further I can carry him

[@wswann34]

That "if u have E6 Gallagher" take aged like milk as she can carry a break team better than e0 firefly

[@BigSteveLive]

Lingsha is the best sustain, a great dps + BUNE!

[@Marbeary]

I don't have aventurine so Getting Lingsha e0s1 was the best alternative for my FuA, Super Break and hilarous team (Lingsha, Fugue, Ruan Mei and HMC) team

[@CloudStrifeXBL]

If you want to play Herta or consider yourself break main then get Lingsha, she is basically the best sustain in the game right now anyway, most versatile at least. No new sustain until at least 3.3 so pick your poison since Aventurine might not return during that time either

[@blursedpasta7718]

nah im good. but if i do have extra jades I would pull for her

[@StarryniteTrist]

Maybe do one like this but for the DPS's. In this game I heavily invest in supports since they have lasting value... DPS well ...

[@Mike55690]

I mainly have Gallagher at E2 atm, and no other sustains other than Gepard LMAO... i was trying to get Aventurine but failed after too many tickets Should i pull for Lingsha if i am going for Castorice and needing another sustain?

[@drakehound2244]

That is a very good analysis of Lingsha Eidolons. sadly if we look tickets/money value, Lingsha is best at E0S0 or E6S0 ... WTF that is a big jump sadly yes. she is cheap to invest. but expensive to upgrade. E1 is the best if you want to upgrade that is also correct. E2 is a pile of rubbishe. E4 same story. this is one of the extreme characters sadly. where E0S0 is the best effect. and E1 her if you love her.

[@named6271]

My sustains are only linx and gallagher so do I need her?

[@shameelnihal]

Is lingsha good for castorice and mydei?

[@blursedpasta7718]

very good since they need a lot healing (you might even need another healer since mydei consume so much hp)

[@sugar-lx1jz]

Yes, she is good for castorice but we'll likely get Hyacine for that position soon enough.

[@pxych2040]

Well, I need another broken healer for my 2nd team so Yes.

[@mizushirokanon9174]

She is the best character in the game right now in my opinion. There is no new sustains on the horizon, so she won't be powercrept

[@marshallwhite202]

I would say she is a close second to robin.Robin is just going to keep getting better especially with the ridiculous powercreep thats on the horizon she will make a huge difference whether u will be able to clear or not for the average player.ofc dolphins and whales will just brute force everything cuz of eidolons

[@JH-no8sy]

No, it’s definitely Robin. Lingsha is just the top sustain.

[@D4C_267]

That would be Sunday or robin.

[@shameelnihal]

Is e6 gallager better than e0 lingsha

[@blursedpasta7718]

if sustain is the only thing you need Gallagher is enough

[@korida6117]

Gallagher is also SP positive. But Lingsha is just more comfortable to run overall.

[@Ixs4i]

if you need better sp economy and energy generation via qpq, gallagher remains superior. everything else (especially in the context of the actual break team) lingsha is better no contest. gallagher only beats her in terms of printing sp like a mf and using qpq to fuel robin/guarantee firefly always ends up with 50% energy after ult ends. fugue basically makes her into an erudition dps, firefly fire implant also benefits her tremendously and if e1 becomes sp neutral so she loses one of her weaknesses compared to gall, she even gets fua synergy for robin/feixiao (esp e2), and will work good with therta too by being basically an erudition healer. but at the end of the day its all about what you need and who your account has. in terms of pure sustain theyre comparable though, if thats your only consideration.

[@Kraken-w1n]

Lingsha is a bit better and does more damage

[@drakehound2244]

Ok lets be clear anybody who has Lingsha and say she is rubbishe? come on people, if you didn't ever use her. you can only speculate, I have Acheron and I can say she is rubbishe at E0S0. Anybody having E0S0 Lingsha and say she is rubbishe :P

[@nagasolaire8462]

She was released 3 months ago. Something is deeply wrong with the game if it's a question whether she's still worth it or no

[@dragonkus6934]

I still wouldn't pull for her if u have gallagher E6😂😂😂

[@BJWOOD]

crit lingsha ontop

[@trongoan4342]

My E2 Firefly team right now is HMC, Fugue, RuanMei. I still clear MOC in 3-5 cycle without Lingsha and Aven, i don't see why i need them at all. I never pull for them, and i never regret about that!

[@fiyindk7367]

Of course she is. The real question, do you recommend Robin over lingsha?

[@semic0lon-wk8fl]

No, always go for robin first, her e1 is debatably the best in the game

[@darknessflame8826]

That depends on what you need tbh. It's like either you need sustain, or you need support harmony? But for overall use, IMO Robin worth more.

[@MapleYum]

I have Robin and never use her. I use Lingsha all the time. It really depends on your teams.

[@drakehound2244]

Infact if you want a budget team combo with whaling as the game, some players do, then E1S0 Lingsha and E2S0 Fugue is almost equal to some people E6/S5. so strong are their DUO cause they provide everything broken. Action Advance, Action Delay, Ignore Elements, Fast Ultimate,Double Bonus Damage, Auto Damage heals and Cleanse. Defense Shred SP refund. they have all the good stuff none of the burdens. for lingsha Loucha Lightcon is the BIS.
