Honkai: Star Rail – Guide to Building Lynx, the Best 4-Star Healer!

Lynx is often overshadowed by the huge shadow of Fu Xuan, a 5-star tanker character that's undeniably powerful in Honkai: Star Rail 1.3. However, don't underestimate the youngest member of the Landau family – she could be the missing piece you need to conquer every challenge in the current game.

What Can Lynx Do?

Undoubtedly, Lynx is the character that will force Natasha into retirement with her formidable skill set. The youngest member of the Landau family possesses the strengths of both Natasha and Bailu, with a hint of March 7th

For example, in Lynx's combat tactics: considering only the first activation, she can heal 12% of maximum HP +320, whereas Natasha can only manage 10.5% of maximum HP +280 (at the same level 10, excluding soul essence). This tactic also increases max HP, making teammates tougher, and even boosts damage on HP-scaled characters (e.g., Fu Xuan). Not to mention the enemy's hate redirection towards tanks, easing the pressure of healing.

Lynx's ultimate ability may have weaker healing compared to Natasha, but it unexpectedly brings a benefit of debuff removal for the entire team. Her second soul essence also helps resist one negative effect – rarely needed, but highly useful when activated. These elements significantly enhance the survival capabilities of a team with Lynx.

Lynx's ultimate ability may have weaker healing compared to Natasha, but it unexpectedly brings a benefit of debuff removal for the entire team. Her second soul essence also helps resist one negative effect – rarely needed, but highly useful when activated. These elements significantly enhance the survival capabilities of a team with Lynx.

With a 4-star rarity, players can gradually acquire Lynx's soul over time, but she is fully usable at E0. E1 helps increase healing when the target has HP below 50%. E2 is a valuable soul as it adds debuff resistance, as mentioned by Mytour earlier, although not essential. Subsequent souls only help Lynx fulfill her role better, rather than significantly adding new mechanics.

Of course, Lynx also has her own weaknesses. When the team is plagued by numerous debuffs, Natasha and Luocha can clear crucial debuffs by spamming their skills, while Lynx cannot do so and must rely on luck. You also need to invest resources to breakthrough Lynx for Sustaining Survival, prolonging her recovery time. Her healing capabilities still lag behind Bailu or Luocha, but her 4-star rarity and versatility are enough to make Lynx a desired character.

Artifact Build for Lynx

Building Lynx is genuinely straightforward. Similar to Fu Xuan, Lynx scales entirely with HP, so players need not worry about other stats. You can use surplus gear from farming for other characters and still achieve high effectiveness.

You should prioritize primary stats as follows: armor % HP or healing effectiveness, shoes speed or % HP, accessory % HP, connector % recharge effectiveness or % HP. Secondary stats should prioritize speed, HP.

Artifact Set:

• 4x Seraphim: Boosts Lynx's speed for the team whenever using her ultimate. A solid choice when you need a significant speed boost for the team.
• 2x Immortal Cloak + 2x Seraphim: This setup increases Lynx's maximum health, thereby enhancing her healing capabilities.
• 2x Silent Wanderer + 2x Seraphim: Similar to the previous option, with minor differences.

Accessories:

• Eternal Xianzhou: Increases attack for the entire team, suitable for DOT-oriented teams.
• Broken Frame Set: When Lynx accompanies traditional carries, 10% critical damage outweighs 8% attack significantly.

Light Helm Build for Lynx

Lynx has various options for light helmets, ranging from expensive 5-star ones to easily obtainable 4-star ones. Here are the options and their advantages.

• Time Never Stops: Provides high healing output, especially effective with a 4-star soul, as it boosts even more attack for the team.
• Post-Operation Chat: Offers faster ultimate charging, higher healing, and can save the team in matches against foes with numerous debuffs.
• Even Exchange: Obtainable from the Pavilion Shop, sacrifices healing ability to charge teammates' ultimates, albeit with considerable randomness.
• Same Mood: Restores 2-4 energy for the entire team each time a skill is used and increases healing amount. Both are very useful effects for Lynx.
• Right on Time: Helps increase healing, enables Lynx to resist debuff effects and control better, while also easily triggering Broken Frame Set.

Conclusion

So now you know how to build Lynx. When invested in properly, she'll be one of the most crucial characters in the Honkai: Star Rail lineup, especially when you're not lucky enough to get Bailu or Luocha. Best of luck with your gacha rolls, and see you in the next articles!
