What’s the best Honkai Star Rail Lynx build?
Lynx is a four-star quantum user who treads the path of the Abundance. She’s an incredibly effective healer, offering both a flat HP boost and a heal over time, and can also dispel buffs, making her a very valuable ally – especially for a four-star!
Here’s a brief summary of our best HSR Lynx build:
| Best light cone | Night of Fright |
| Light cone substitutes |
|
| Best relic set | Messenger Traversing Hackerspace |
| Best planar ornaments | Fleet of the Ageless |
| Main stats |
|
| Sub-stats |
|
The best light cone for Lynx is the five-star Night of Fright. In terms of relics, we recommend equipping Lynx with a full set of Messenger Traversing Hackerspace and two pieces of Fleet of the Ageless, allowing her to offer even more buffs to her team.
When building Lynx, you should prioritize speed and HP% above all, though she also benefits from some defense and a bit of energy regen if you feel like you need her to use her ultimate more frequently.
When leveling up Lynx’s skills, you should prioritize her ultimate first, followed by her skill, then her talent. You can leave her basic attack until last. In terms of major traces, you should prioritize Advance Surveying (A2) first, then Survival in the Extreme (A6), then Exploration Techniques (A4).
How to use Lynx
HSR’s Lynx is a surprisingly impressive healer, taking some of the best elements from both Natasha and Bailu’s kits and combining them into one.
Lynx offers a heal over time through both her skill and ultimate, and her skill can also significantly increase an ally’s max HP. Additionally, she can dispel debuffs from her allies with her ultimate. This is particularly valuable when fighting some of the debuff-heavy bosses like Stellaron Hunter: Kafka, Phantylia, or Abundant Ebon Deer.
One of the most unique aspects of Lynx’s kit is her ability to boost the potential of your tank or off-tank, while also protecting your DPS. She does this through her skill, which, when used on an ally that aligns with the path of the Destruction or the Preservation, increases their aggro and gives them extra healing. Combined with the aforementioned AoE cleanse of her ultimate and her HP-scaling basic attacks and healing, Lynx makes for an amazing healer and enabler that’s pretty easy to build – especially for a four star.
Lynx doesn’t rely heavily on her constellations in order to be a strong unit. So, even if you don’t get lucky, you can still make use of her powerful kit.
What’s the best Honkai Star Rail Lynx light cone?
The best light cone for Lynx is Night of Fright. In fact, this highly contested five-star light cone is currently the best all-right light cone for most healers, as it offers solid base stats, a hefty healing boost, and is the only Abundance light cone that can directly buff ally attack. However, as it is so highly contested, you may want to reserve it for another healer like Honkai Star Rail’s Huohuo.
The second-best light cone for Lynx is Time Waits for No One. It gives a solid boost to her healing output and HP, which, in turn, increases the HP share offered by her fourth eidolon, Dusk of Warm Campfire.
Alternatively, Post-Op Conversation is great for Lynx. This is due to the fact that its increased energy regeneration allows her to use her ultimate and cleanse her allies more often.
Finally, Shared Feeling is also a solid option for Lynx. It provides her with a decent healing output buff, while also helping allies with their energy issues.
Here are the best HSR Lynx light cones:
| Night Of Fright | Increases Lynx’s energy regeneration rate by 12%. When an ally uses their ultimate, Lynx restores HP for the ally that currently has the lowest HP percentage by an amount equal to 10% of the healed ally’s max HP. The Lynx provides healing for an ally, she also increases the healed ally’s attack by 2.4%. This effect can stack up to five times and lasts for two turns. |
| Time Waits for No One | Increases Lynx’s max HP by 18% and her outgoing healing by 12%. When she heals allies, record the amount of outgoing healing. When an ally launches an attack, a random attacked enemy takes additional damage
