Lingsha's Weakness Break Efficiency increases by 50%. When an enemy unit's Weakness is Broken, reduces their DEF by 20%.
When using Ultimate, increases all allies' Break Effect by 40%, lasting for 3 turn(s).
When Fuyuan takes action, restores HP equal to 40% of Lingsha's ATK for the ally target whose current HP is the lowest.
While "Fuyuan" is on the field, reduces all enemies' All-Type RES by 20%. When "Fuyuan" attacks, additionally deals 4 instance(s) of DMG, with each instance dealing Fire DMG equal to 50% of Lingsha's ATK and 5 Toughness Reduction to one random enemy. This prioritizes targets with both Toughness greater than 0 and Fire Weakness.
A Break Effect carry with two Harmony units that raise Break damage and Weakness Break efficiency, and a sustain that keeps Break uptime rather than adding damage.
Two Erudition units feed each other stacks on wide waves, a Harmony unit multiplies the area damage, and a sustain covers the turns spent charging.
Break damage across a whole wave rather than one target, so both Harmony slots go to Break amplification and the sustain adds Break of its own.
Her Talent hands every ally an Assist Skill that calls her Starblazer, so the other three slots are chosen for how often they take a turn.
Her Zone pays out on every Skill Point an ally spends inside it, so the team wants Skill Point spenders rather than a second damage dealer.
Waveflair banks "Fervor" every time a teammate attacks and spends it on an all-enemy Elation Skill, so the team wants a second Elation unit feeding the counter, a Harmony buffer that adds actions, and a sustain that attacks on its own turn.
Honkai: Star Rail 5★ Fire Abundance Support
Scent Alone Stays True tops the light cone ranking for Lingsha at S1, ahead of Quid Pro Quo, Post-Op Conversation and What Is Real?. That order is prydwen.gg's, measured in play and rephrased here; every row of it sits under Light cones below.
Run Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge on Lingsha, with Warrior Goddess of Sun and Thunder and Thief of Shooting Meteor behind it. The planar ornament is Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern. Main stats are Outgoing Healing body, Speed feet, ATK% sphere, Energy Regen Rate = Break Effect rope. Roll substats in the order SPD (until the desired breakpoint) > BREAK% >= ATK%.
Trace priority is Ultimate > Talent > Skill > Basic. The Ultimate costs 110 energy, which is what an Energy Regeneration Rate target has to clear.
Lingsha plays Sustain · Break in the Firefly team, alongside Firefly, Ruan Mei and Fugue.
