Lingsha’s best light cone options are crucial for optimizing her performance as a Fire Abundance unit in Honkai: Star Rail. Players may find her to be quite similar to Gallagher at first glance due to the shared path and element, as well as focus on Break Effect – however there are quite some nuances. Generally, her kit benefits significantly from enhancements to Break Effect, ATK, and Energy Regeneration, allowing her to fulfill both healing and offensive support roles within a team. Players will find a variety of premium light cones that align perfectly with her abilities, but there are also plenty of F2P-friendly options that can provide solid alternatives for those working with limited resources.
While Lingsha’s current selection of light cones offers a variety of ways to enhance her role, players should keep an eye on future (event-limited) light cones that might bring even more utility. Whether players are looking to prioritize healing, Break Effect, or energy generation, here are the best light cone options for Lingsha that ensures there’s something to suit different needs.

Increases the wearer’s Energy Regeneration Rate by 16% and increases Outgoing Healing when they use their Ultimate by 24%. |

Energy Regeneration is a crucial stat for Lingsha, as her Ultimate is one of the most vital aspects of her kit. A max superimposed version of Post-Op Conversation can significantly enhance her ability to consistently activate her Ultimate, by increasing her Energy Regeneration Rate further thereby boosting both her offensive support and healing capabilities.
This is especially important in Break Damage team compositions, where increased activation frequency allows for a damage increase for Break DMG, and it also proves beneficial in Acheron teams, as her Ultimate applies a debuff to enemies. Additionally, teams featuring Feixiao can gain from frequent Ultimate activations, as Fuyuan’s actions are advanced, helping her accumulate stacks more quickly. Given these considerations, while Lingsha has access to several viable 4-star Gacha light cone options, Post-Op Conversation stands out as the most beneficial choice for her in this bracket.
4 Night of Fright

Increases the wearer’s Energy Regeneration Rate by 12%. When any ally uses their Ultimate, the wearer restores HP for the ally currently with the lowest HP percentage by an amount equal to 10% of the healed ally’s Max HP. When the wearer provides healing for an ally, increases the healed ally’s ATK by 2.4%. This effect can stack up to 5 times and lasts for 2 turns(s). |

While Night of Fright is primarily recognized as Huohuo’s signature light cone, its ability to buff allies, provide consistent healing, and increase Lingsha’s Energy Regeneration Rate makes it a solid choice for her as well. However, it may not be as optimal as other premium Abundance light cones on the list that offer more direct synergy with Lingsha’s kit.
Although What is Real is ranked higher than Night of Fright, if players achieve around 200% Break Effect without the need for a dedicated light cone with Break Effect, Night of Fright can actually surpass it in effectiveness due to its additional party-wide buff utility.
3 What is Real?

Increases the wearer’s Break Effect by 48%. After using Basic ATK, restores HP for the wearer by an amount equal to 4% of Max HP plus 800. |
||
If players need extra Break Effect on Lingsha to activate her bonus ability or to surpass the necessary Break Effect for a dedicated team, What is Real? serves as an excellent option, especially as her best F2P light cone. Unfortunately, its utility is somewhat limited, as the secondary passive effect that restores HP only applies to the wearer. While this can enhance Lingsha’s own survivability, it isn’t particularly impactful since she rarely utilizes her Basic attacks, and it does not provide any benefits to her teammates including passive healing.
2 Echoes of the Coffin

Increases the wearer’s ATK by 24%. After the wearer uses an attack, for each different enemy target the wearer hits, regenerates 3 Energy. Each attack can regenerate Energy up to 3 time(s) this way. After the wearer uses their Ultimate, all allies gain 12 SPD for 1 turn. |
||
Lingsha can effectively utilize Luocha’s light cone, Echoes of the Coffin, which has often been considered niche due to the limited number of healers in Honkai: Star Rail that scale with ATK%. However, since Lingsha benefits from ATK%, this light cone becomes a valuable asset for her. The additional effects are also quite advantageous, as each hit she delivers allows her to regenerate energy, enhancing her overall performance.
Moreover, when she activates her Ultimate, all allies gain a boost in Speed, which can be especially helpful in turn-limited combat encounters. Overall, Echoes of the Coffin provides substantial healing potential for Lingsha, even surpassing that of her signature light cone, making it one of her top choices—particularly for players who may not find Luocha as essential in their team compositions anymore.
1 Scent Alone Stays True

Increases the wearer’s Break Effect by 60%. After the wearer uses Ultimate to attack enemy targets, inflicts the targets with the “Woefree” state, lasting for 2 turn(s). While in “Woefree,” enemy targets take 10% increased DMG. The effect of increasing DMG taken is additionally boosted by 8% if the wearer’s current Break Effect is 150% or higher. |
||
Interestingly, while “Scent Alone Stays True” is Lingsha’s signature light cone and her best option due to the significant Break Effect buff it provides, along with a debuff that increases the damage enemies take, its utility can vary across different team compositions. This makes it somewhat niche, and it may not be the top priority for players focused solely on maximizing their team’s damage output or the healing amount.
However, the debuff feature shines particularly in Acheron teams, where it can amplify overall effectiveness, and characters like Feixiao can also benefit significantly from the considerable 18% DMG taken debuff. Conversely, the increased damage taken is less impactful in Firefly teams, where other aspects of Lingsha’s kit may take precedence.
