Luocha is the first five-star promotional character belonging to the path of Abundance and the Imaginary element in Honkai Star Rail , he is a character that fits into any type of team and stands out for having a very different kit of abilities from other characters in this same pathway as Bailu and Natasha .
To begin with, one of the things that attracts the most attention about Luocha is that his heals are not based on his HP , but increase according to the amount of ATK% that he has. When it comes to his skill set, in addition to providing heals with his Basic Ability and Talent, he also has an offensive part with his Ultimate that does pretty decent damage.
Another very good point that this character has is that his Ultimate Ability allows him to remove buffs from enemies and on the other hand, his Basic Ability allows him to remove debuffs from one of our allies, which will be essential in the late game . But the most interesting thing about Luocha is his Eidolons (for those who can afford them) that allow him to have functions more typical of other routes such as creating shields, lowering resistances, increasing the ATK% of the party or weakening enemies .
In this post we will see a complete analysis of this character and of course his best Builds , Cones of Light, Artifacts, Ornaments and others. Let’s go there!
ATTRIBUTES OR STATS
These are the Attributes or Stats that Luocha will have at the maximum level:
- HP: 1280
- ATK: 756
- DEF: 363
- SPD: 101
It stands out notably both in its enormous Base ATK and in its large number of PVs , its SPD is somewhat fair, but it’s not that it’s all bad either and the only thing that really falters is in its Base DEF (but it had to compensate for these statistics so good somehow).
LUOCHA’S SKILLS
These are all of Luocha’s Skills. The numbers/percentages are what you have at the lowest level:
BASIC ATK: THORNS OF THE ABYSS
Deal 50% Imaginary Damage to a single enemy of your choice.
BASIC SKILL: NETHER FLOWER PRAYER
- Basic Skill Point Consumption: 1
When using this Basic Skill we will apply a cure on a single ally, Luocha will heal for 40% of his ATK + 200 and he will get a charge of Nether Flower (these charges are necessary to activate his Talent).
Luocha can use this Basic Skill automatically to heal any ally when their HP is half or less ; when the Basic Ability is activated in this way we will not consume any Basic Ability points (this ability can only be activated in this way once every 2 turns).
ULTIMATE ABILITY: DEATH WISH
- Energy Cost: 100
Luocha will execute an area attack that will affect all enemies on the field, dealing Imaginary Damage proportional to 120% of their ATK. This Ultimate Ability will allow us to remove a positive effect from each enemy hit and we will also get a stack of Abyssal Flower for the activation of his Talent.
TALENT: LIFE CYCLE
Once Luocha has gained two stacks of Netherbloom, a healing field will automatically be generated. When one of our characters hits an enemy within this field, said ally will recover HP in proportion to 12% of Luocha’s ATK + 60.
After 2 turns have passed, the field will dissipate; so we will need to use Luocha’s abilities to get another two charges of Netherflower to be able to replenish this field.
TECHNIQUE: FOOL’S COMPASSION
The use of this Technique will allow us as soon as we start the fight, Luocha generates the healing field of his Talent without the need to accumulate any Netherflower charge.
ADDITIONAL SKILLS
We can unlock them in the Strokes upon reaching a certain Ascension Level.
- Ascension Level 2 – Watery Rebirth
- Allows you to remove a negative status by applying the effects of the Basic Skill on an ally.
- Ascension Level 4 – Sanctification
- When an enemy within the field generated by Luocha’s Talent is attacked, the attacking ally will no longer be the only one to be healed, as the rest of the party will now also regenerate an amount of HP equal to 7% of Luocha’s ATK. Luocha + 93.
- Ascension Level 6 – Valley Traverse
- +70% chance to resist negative Control states (like the one Kafka inflicts in World 5 of the Simulated Universe).
EIDOLON
These are the improvements that the character obtains through the Eidolon:
- E1 – Ablution of the Living : +20% to the ATK of the whole party when Luocha’s Talent field is active.
- E2 – Immaculate Bestowal : The Basic Skill gains the following bonuses:
- When healing a character with half their HP or less, the healing done by Luocha will be increased by 30%.
- If the ally to be healed has more than half of their HP, they will gain a shield proportional to 18% of Luocha’s ATK + 240 for 2 turns.
- E3 – Attempted Fools : +2 levels to Basic Ability and +1 to Basic Attack.
- E4 – Judgment of Thorns : All enemies that are on Luocha’s field will be affected by Debuff and the damage produced by them will be reduced by 12%.
- E5 – Mark of Sacrifice : +2 levels to Ultimate and Talent.
- E6 – You Will Convert Into Powder : By using Luocha’s Ultimate Ability we will reduce all the elemental resistances of all enemies by 20% for 2 turns.
The truth is that you cannot ask for more from this character’s Eidolons, they are all fantastic and provide them with many functions: he can create ATK buffs as if he were a Harmony character, he is also capable of lowering resistances and weakening enemies as a Nihility and can even generate shields as a Conservation character.
LUOCHA’S BEST BUILD
The priority in the build of our Luocha will be to increase his ATK% as much as possible , since the effectiveness of the cures of this character will depend on the amount he has in said statistic. It will also be recommended that he have a high Effect Resistance, because he will be the character in charge of eliminating debuffs on our team.
BEST LIGHT CONES
These are the best Light Cones for Luocha sorted from best to worst (they all come highly recommended anyway) and trying to add both 5-star and 4-star options. Here we will list the effects in Level 1 Overlay.
- Echoes of the Coffin ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: +24% ATK %. The bearer of this Cone of Light can recover 3 energy points each time he hits an enemy with an attack (this effect can be activated up to 3 times per attack). +12 SPD for the party for 1 turn when using the Ultimate Ability of the character with this Cone of Light equipped.
- Time Does Not Wait ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: +12% to Healing done and +18% to Max HP. When the character carrying this Cone of Light heals an ally, said cure will be registered for the moment an enemy attacks us, which will receive damage proportional to 36% of the healing that was registered (the Elemental Damage received will be of the same type as that of the cone bearer and this effect can happen once per turn).
- The Opportune Moment ⭐⭐⭐⭐: +16% to the Wearer’s Effect Resistance. The wearer’s healing is increased by 33% of their Effect Resistance, healing can be increased by at most 15% this way.
- Warm Nights Don’t Last ⭐⭐⭐⭐: +16% of Max HP. When the wearer of this Cone of Light uses their Basic Attack or Basic Ability, party members will recover health in proportion to 2% of the wearer’s Max HP.
- Shared Feeling ⭐⭐⭐⭐: +10% to Healing done. When using the Basic Ability, all characters will recover 2 energy points.
- Equivalent Trade ⭐⭐⭐⭐: At the beginning of the turn you will recover 8 energy points for a random ally whose energy percentage is less than 50%.
BEST ARTIFACTS AND ORNAMENTS
We will start with the Artifacts and Ornaments. These are the stats that we recommend for each piece to increase its effectiveness as a healer .
- Torso : Bonif. Heal Done or ATK %.
- Legs : SPEED.
- Blueprint Sphere : Imaginary Damage.
- Binding Rope : ATK % or Energy Recovery.
Substats:
- ATK %.
- Res to Effect.
- Speed.
- HP %.
- Critical Chance.
As for artifact sets, we have the following two options:
- 2 pieces Cloud Passerby Passer : Healing done +10%.
- 2 pieces Wild Spike Holster : +12% ATK.
The one that seems to us to be the best option overall, but the following would also be an option.
Wild Ear Holster
- 2 pieces : +12% ATK.
- 4 pieces : +6 SPD and +10% Damage on Basic Attack.
And now your best Set of Ornaments:
Space Seal Station
- 2 pieces : +12% ATK and +12% bonus ATK if character has 120 or more Speed.
In this case, the Space Seal Station will be his best set of ornaments, since it will allow us to obtain 24% ATK%, which will be very beneficial to increase the potential of his cures and incidentally also his damage.
