When we first saw Honkai Star Rail’s Luocha, we said the same thing as many of you – ‘hold on, is that playable Otto?’ But, as much as Luocha may bear a striking resemblance to Honkai Impact’s Otto, he’s certainly a man of his own, setting out to heal everyone’s ailments… With a coffin by his side? Yeah, we’ve not worked out that one yet, either. We’ve spent some time with Honkai’s Luocha so in this guide, we’ll give you a little insight into who exactly Luocha is, what his attacks are, and the best relics, light cones, and more to equip him with.
Before you hit the rails, be sure to check out our Honkai Star Rail tier list, Honkai Star Rail codes, and Honkai Star Rail banner guide. We also have more build guides just like this one, including Honkai Star Rail’s Jing Yuan, Honkai Star Rail’s March 7th, and Honkai Star Rail’s Sushang.
Let’s dive into everything you need to know about Honkai Star Rail’s Luocha.
When is Honkai Star Rail Luocha’s release date?
Hoyoverse revealed during the 1.1 livestream, that Luocha’s first banner takes place during phase two of the version 1.1 update. To find out more about the current and upcoming banners, take a look at our Honkai Star Rail banner guide.
What’s the best Honkai Star Rail Luocha build?
While his healing may not be as reliable as Honkai Star Rail’s Natasha due to her ultimate offering a perfect emergency button, Honkai Star Rail’s Luocha is a powerful support. He offers great heals that scale off his attack, while also having the potential to deal some impactful imaginary and true damage, and his ability to strip enemies of buffs with his ultimate can be extremely handy.
Luocha is a great addition to any team looking for a healer and all-around support unit, especially one in need of an imaginary damage dealer to take down enemies with that weakness. We found he works particularly well on a team with Honkai Star Rail’s Blade, as Luocha’s passive heals help make up for the HP Blade sacrifices during his skill. However, we’re still experimenting to ensure that Luocha’s healing doesn’t offset Blade’s passive stacks. We’ll update this guide as soon as we know more!
What are the best light cones for Honkai Star Rail’s Luocha?
The five-star light cone, Echoes of the Coffin, was designed specifically for Luocha, boosting his attack to increase his healing, and offering buffs for his team. However, as it’s a five-star gacha pull, it may be tricky to get your paws on. If that’s the case, just be sure to pick one that aligns with his path, ‘The Abundance’, in order to activate its skill – and preferably choose one with a skill that focuses on increasing Luocha’s attack, too.
| Light cone | Effect | How to obtain |
| Echoes of the Coffin | Increases Luocha’s attack. After he uses his ultimate, provides all allies with a speed boost for one turn. Additionally, for each different target Luocha attacks, he recovers five energy. Each attack can recover energy a maximum of three times | Gacha |
| Shared Feeling | Increases Luocha’s outgoing healing by 10%. Using his skill regenerates two energy for all allies | Gacha |
| Cornucopia | When Luocha uses his skill or ultimate, his outgoing healing increases by 12% | Gacha, treasure chests, quest reward |
What are the best relics for Honkai Star Rail’s Luocha?
Due to Luocha’s primary role and utility being based around healing, we recommend going with the Passerby of Wandering Cloud four-piece set. For the neck and article relics, as Luocha’s healing scales of attack instead of HP, you could also mix and match sets to stack attack% bonuses.
We’re currently rocking four pieces of the Passerby of Wandering Cloud set, and two pieces of Space Sealing Station in order to get the handy outgoing healing boost skill, as well as that extra 12% attack damage on top. You could also use Fleet of the Ageless if you want to boost Luocha’s HP to ensure he survives.
| Relic set | Effect | How to obtain |
| Passerby of Wandering Cloud | Two equipped: increases outgoing healing by 10% Four equipped: immediately recover one skill point at the beginning of battle |
Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Drifting in Jarilo-VI’s Corridor of Fading Echoes |
Planar ornaments
| Relic set | Effect | How to obtain |
| Space Sealing Station | Two equipped: increases Luocha’s attack by 12%. When his speed reaches 120 or higher, Luocha’s attack increases by another 12% | Immersion Reward devices in World 3 of the Simulated Universe |
| Fleet of the Ageless | Two equipped: increases the Luocha’s max HP by 12%. When his speed reaches 120 or higher, all allies’ attack increases by 8% | Immersion Reward devices in World 3 of the Simulated Universe |
