Summary
- Lynx brings significant value to team compositions due to her healing abilities. She can heal single targets and provide AoE healing, and her ultimate can dispel debuffs, making her a versatile and valuable healer.
- Lynx benefits from light cones suitable for HP-based characters like Bailu and Natasha, as she scales entirely with the HP stat. Light cones that boost Energy Regeneration and Effect RES can also be useful in challenging battles.
- The light cones "Shared Feeling," "Post-Op Conversation," "Warmth Shortens Cold Nights," "Perfect Timing," and "Time Waits For No One" all have unique effects that enhance Lynx's healing, Energy Regeneration, or resistance to negative status effects, making her an even more effective support character.

Lynx joins the Honkai: Star Rail roster as the latest 4-star Abundance character, making her the second 4-star healer character in the game. Despite being a 4-star character, she brings significant value to team compositions due to her healing abilities. Lynx can heal both single targets with her skill and provide AoE healing with her ultimate. Additionally, her ultimate can dispel debuffs from all allies, making her a versatile and valuable healer. Moreover, Lynx has the ability to increase aggro for Preservation or Destruction characters, further enhancing her utility in a party.
Similar to Bailu and Natasha, Lynx scales entirely with the HP stat, including her basic attack damage modifier. This sets her apart from Luocha, who scales with the ATK stat. Given this, Lynx can benefit from light cones that are suitable for HP-based characters like Bailu and Natasha. However, players should also consider light cones that enhance Energy Regeneration for Lynx, as her Ultimate skill is quite valuable. Additionally, light cones that boost Effect RES can be useful in challenging battles in Honkai: Star Rail. It's worth noting that all below-mentioned light cones work quite ideal for Lynx, meaning that if players have max superimposition on one over the other being low superimposed, they may want to prioritize equipping a light cone with more superimpositions instead.
5 Shared Feeling
- Base ATK (LVL 80): 370
- Base DEF (LVL 80): 396
- Base HP (LVL 80): 1058
- Effect: Increases the wearer’s Outgoing Healing by 10%/12.5%/15%/17.5%/20%. When using Skill, regenerates 2/3/3/4/4 Energy for all allies.
Lynx when equipped with Shared Feeling allows her to increase her Outgoing Healing without any conditions, and it also enables her to regenerate energy for both herself and her allies. This skill can be quite useful for boosting Energy Regeneration in a team composition that relies on the frequent use of Ultimate abilities, such as with Seele. However, it's worth noting that Lynx's Skill, which activates Survival Response, has a 2-turn duration, so players may not need to use this skill every turn. Additionally, the amount of energy regenerated per character is not exceptionally high, which may not make a significant difference, especially for teams with a high Max Energy requirement.
4 Post-Op Conversation
- Base ATK (LVL 80): 423
- Base DEF (LVL 80): 330
- Base HP (LVL 80): 1058
- Effect: Increases Energy Regeneration Rate of its wearer by 8%/10%/12%/14%/16% and increases Outgoing Healing when they use their Ultimate by 12%/15%/18%/21%/24%.
The Post-Op Conversation light cone is another option that focuses on Energy Regeneration, but this time as a percentage specifically for Lynx. Additionally, it increases her Outgoing Healing while using her Ultimate. Since Lynx benefits greatly from using her Ultimate as often as possible, as it allows her to AoE heal, Post-Op Conversation can be highly effective for her, especially if players have multiple copies of this light cone. This can further enhance her healing effectiveness and Energy Regeneration capabilities, making her an even more valuable support character for the team.
3 Warmth Shortens Cold Nights
- Base ATK (LVL 80): 370
- Base DEF (LVL 80): 396
- Base HP (LVL 80): 1058
- Effect: Increases the wearer's Max HP by 16/20/24/28/32%. When using Basic ATK or Skill, restore all allies' HP by an amount equal to 2/2.5/3/3.5/4% of their respective Max HP.
Warmth Shortens Cold Nights is an interesting addition, as it increases Lynx's Basic Attack's utility in addition to her other abilities. Players who find themselves frequently relying on Lynx's Basic Attack, perhaps due to skill point management considerations in their team composition, can benefit greatly from this light cone. This light cone not only boosts Lynx's Max HP, allowing her to heal even more effectively due to her Basic Attacks dealing damage based on her HP, but it also improves her overall DPS to some extent, although Lynx's Basic Attack is not particularly powerful. Nevertheless, the added bonus of restoring a small amount of HP with her Basic Attacks makes Lynx a more effective Basic Attack user with this light cone equipped. However, being a Nameless Glory exclusive option, it is not ideal for players who seek F2P options.
2 Perfect Timing
- Base ATK (LVL 80): 423
- Base DEF (LVL 80): 396
- Base HP (LVL 80): 952
- Effect: Increases the wearer’s Effect RES by 16%/20%/24%/28%/32% and increases Outgoing Healing by an amount that is equal to 33%/36%/39%/42%/45% of Effect RES. Outgoing Healing can be increased this way by up to 15%/18%/21%/24%/27%.
Perfect Timing is particularly useful in battles where enemies focus on inflicting as many negative status effects as possible, such as in the case of Kafka or during Simulated Universe: Swarm Disaster. With Perfect Timing equipped, Lynx can have higher Effect RES, which increases her resistance to these effects. Additionally, players who have been fortunate enough to acquire high Effect RES for Lynx will also be able to increase her Outgoing Healing at a significant rate, with its maximum increase surpassing that of all other light cones on the same imposition level when players have enough Effect RES. This can make Lynx an even more effective healer and support character in battles where status effects are prevalent.
1 Time Waits For No One
- Base ATK (LVL 80): 476
- Base DEF (LVL 80): 463
- Base HP (LVL 80): 1270
- Effect: Increases the wearer’s Max HP by 12%/15%/18%/21%/24% and Outgoing Healing by 12%/15%/18%/21%/24%. When the wearer heals allies, record the amount of Outgoing Healing. When any ally launches an attack, a random attacked enemy takes additional DMG equal to 50%/62.5%/75%/82.5%/95% of the recorded Outgoing Healing value. This additional DMG is of the same Type as the wearer’s, is not affected by other buffs, and can only occur 1 time per turn.
While Time Waits For No One may be Bailu's signature light cone, players who have been fortunate enough to acquire this light cone can make it work wonders for Lynx as well. This is because it increases both her HP and Outgoing Healing, which are her most desired stats. Additionally, it adds to Lynx's additional damage potential, although the increase is not exceptionally high. Nevertheless, with this light cone equipped, players can more easily focus on other stats such as Effect RES, Energy Regeneration, or even Crit Stats if they want to enhance Lynx's damage potential to some extent.
Honkai: Star Rail is now available on Android, iOS, and PC. A PlayStation version is in development.
