As Honkai Star Rail fans eagerly anticipate the arrival of patch 1.1, a new character emerges onto the scene, adding another layer of strategy and intrigue to the game. Meet Luocha, the upcoming Imaginary healer ready to make his debut​​.

Luocha hails from the Path of Abundance and brings with him a rich skillset to aid your team in battle. Capable of healing and cleansing debuffs, his abilities are as solid as his damage output. If your team lacks a secondary healer, Luocha could be a significant game-changer, offering both utility and healing to bolster your lineup​.

Should you pull for Luocha?

But before you rush to pull for Luocha, remember that the world of Honkai Star Rail is dynamic, with characters like Luka and Blade right around the corner. You may want to consider saving your Stellar Jade for these highly anticipated characters. However, if you find Natasha as your sole healer, Luocha could be a valuable addition, especially for the Forgotten Hall/Memory of Chaos. His support capabilities can be a boon if you already possess powerful damage dealers and seek a more comfortable gaming experience​.

Luocha’s skillset is rich and diverse. Here’s a breakdown:

  • E1: If an ally’s HP is lower than 50% of their Max HP, Luocha’s Outgoing Healing increases by 30%. If the ally’s HP is at or above 50%, Luocha creates a shield, protecting them from damage equal to 15% of their Max HP for one turn.
  • E2: If an ally’s HP is fully restored after using his Skill, Luocha regenerates an additional 10 Energy.
  • E3: The Skill Level increases by +2 (up to Lv. 15), and Basic ATK Level increases by +1 (up to Lv. 10).
  • E4: When Luocha’s Field is active, enemies become weakened and deal 10% less damage.
  • E5: The Ultimate Level and Talent Level both increase by +2 (up to Lv. 15).
  • E6: Luocha deals additional Imaginary damage equal to 100% of his ATK to enemy targets with buffs when using his Ultimate​​.

When it comes to Eidolons, the consensus is that they may not be worth chasing, particularly for free-to-play players. The game is still in its early stages, and it is advisable to opt for a diverse roster of characters that covers all elements over pursuing Eidolons​​.

In conclusion, the decision to pull for Luocha will depend on your current lineup and strategy. He certainly has the potential to enhance your gameplay, particularly if your team could use a solid, versatile healer. However, with new characters on the horizon, it’s worth weighing your options carefully.
