Introductions

Lingsha is a 5-Star character with the Fire element who follows the Path of Abundance. Lingsha is a sustain unit who provides team-wide healing while also dealing a large amount of Toughness DMG. She works well in both AoE and single-target scenarios, and her gameplay revolves around her summon "Fuyuan". Fuyuan provides the team with cleansing and healing while contributing some AoE damage to enemies.
Our Lingsha Build Guide will show you the best Light Cones, Relics, and team compositions to help you build the best Lingsha.

Best Relics for Lingsha

These are the best Relic sets for Lingsha.

Warrior Goddess of Sun and Thunder

2-Piece Set: Increases SPD by 6.0%.

4-Piece Set: When the wearer or their memosprite provides healing to ally targets other than themselves, the wearer gains "Gentle Rain," which lasts for 2 turn(s) and can only trigger once per turn. While the wearer has "Gentle Rain," SPD increases by 6.0% and all allies' CRIT DMG increases by 15.0%. This effect cannot stack.

Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge

2-Piece Set: Increases Break Effect by 16.0%.

4-Piece Set: If the wearer's Break Effect is 150.0% or higher, the Break DMG dealt to the enemy target ignores 10.0% of their DEF. If the wearer's Break Effect is 250.0% or higher, the Super Break DMG dealt to the enemy target additionally ignores 15.0% of their DEF.

Iron Cavalry is a strong choice for Break focused Lingsha, providing valuable Break Effect while significantly improving her Break damage. It becomes particularly effective in teams where Lingsha can consistently reach its Break Effect requirements.

Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge

2-Piece Set: Increases SPD by 6.0%.

4-Piece Set: When the wearer uses their Ultimate on an ally, SPD for all allies increases by 12.0% for 1 turn(s). This effect cannot be stacked.

A flexible alternative that combines Break Effect and SPD, making it a solid choice when a strong 4-piece set is unavailable or when the additional SPD and Break Effect better suit Lingsha's build.

Best Planar Ornaments

Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern

2-Piece Set: Increases the wearer's SPD by 6.0%. When the wearer hits an enemy target that has Fire Weakness, the wearer's Break Effect increases by 40.0%, lasting for 1 turn(s).

Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern is an excellent choice for Break-focused Lingsha, providing valuable SPD that helps her maintain more consistent healing and Ultimate uptime while also increasing her Break Effect against enemies with Fire Weakness.

2-Piece Set: Increases the wearer's Break Effect by 16.0%. When the wearer's SPD reaches 145 or higher, the wearer's Break Effect increases by an extra 20.0%.

Talia: Kingdom of Banditry is another strong option for Break focused Lingsha, providing valuable Break Effect that becomes even more effective when she reaches its 145 SPD requirement. As Lingsha naturally benefits from building high SPD, she can activate the full effect without compromising her build.

Lushaka, the Sunken Seas

2-Piece Set: Increases the wearer's Energy Regeneration Rate by 5.0%. If the wearer is not the first character in the team lineup, then increases the ATK of the first character in the team lineup by 12.0%.

Lingsha Build Comments

Lingsha is a strong sustain unit who combines reliable team-wide healing with Break-focused damage. Instead of being a passive healer, she actively contributes in combat through her summon, Fuyuan, which takes independent turns to deal AoE follow-up attacks, inflict additional Toughness DMG, and simultaneously heal and cleanse the entire team. This makes her sustain feel automatic and continuous, rather than something you have to constantly manage.

Lingsha's kit is heavily tied to Break Effect, allowing her healing and offensive contributions to scale together while also providing a debuff that increases Break DMG received by enemies, significantly boosting Break-focused teams. She functions as both a reliable sustain and a damage amplifier, with Fuyuan acting almost like a second unit that constantly pressures enemies while keeping allies alive. This lets her fit nicely into Break and Follow-Up ATK teams while still performing as a universal healer when needed.

When considering which allies work best with Lingsha, Ruan Mei is a particularly strong option. Ruan Mei works exceptionally well with Lingsha because her Weakness Break Efficiency buff allows Lingsha's AoE attacks to reduce enemy Toughness much faster. Once enemies are Weakness Broken, Ruan Mei delays their recovery, extending the window for Lingsha to deal additional damage. Additionally, Ruan Mei's SPD and resistance buffs enable Lingsha to act more frequently, which speeds up her healing summons and maximises her overall contribution.

Lingsha's Best Teams

To learn all about Lingsha's synergies and best team compositions, check our dedicated Lingsha team page below:

Lingsha Teams

Lingsha's Best Eidolons

E6 – E6 is very strong. While Fuyuan is on the field, E6 gives a near-permanent 20% All-Type RES PEN. It also makes Fuyuan's attacks hit 4 times, adding extra damage and significantly more Toughness reduction, especially when boosted by E1 and Ruan Mei's Skill, which greatly increases Super Break damage since Fuyuan can act as often as, or more often than, Lingsha.
E1 – E1 is also strong and Lingsha's second-best Eidolon. It increases her Weakness Break Efficiency by 50%, which boosts Super Break damage. It also applies 20% DEF reduction when enemies are Weakness Broken, benefiting both Lingsha and the whole team. Overall, it provides a major damage increase and strong team-wide value.
E2 – This Eidolon comes just after E1 for impact. Using Lingsha's Ultimate gives the whole team 40% Break Effect for 3 turns. It adds some decent team value, but it's much less impactful than E1 and mainly works as a consistent, moderate damage boost.
E4 – This Eidolon mainly adds extra healing when Fuyuan acts, restoring HP to the most injured ally based on Lingsha's ATK. Since Lingsha already provides enough healing, this extra sustain is generally unnecessary in most setups. As a result, it's low-impact and mostly situational.
