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? But what we have worked out is this Honkai Star Rail Luocha build, featuring his best light cones, relics, and more.
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 Fu Xuan, Honkai Star Rail’s Imbibitor Lunae, and Honkai Star Rail’s Tingyun.
Let’s dive into everything you need to know about Honkai Star Rail’s Luocha.

Luocha’s best light cone is Echoes of the Coffin which is made specifically for him. Pair this with either a four-piece set of Passerby of Wandering Cloud or two Passerby and two Musketeer of Wild Wheat for his standard relics and a two-piece set of Space Sealing Station for his planar ornaments. This healer can hit hard when he wants to.
While his healing may not be as reliable as Honkai Star Rail’s Natasha due to her ultimate offering a perfect emergency button, Luocha is a powerful support. He offers great heals that scale off his attack, while also having the potential to deal some impactful imaginary damage, and his ability to strip enemies of buffs with his ultimate can be extremely handy.
How do I use Luocha?
Luocha’s utility revolves around his ability to both hit hard and heal his teammates. Use his basic attack to target enemies with imaginary weakness and assist your allies with his Prayer of Abyss Flower skill. Build up Luocha’s Abyss Flower stacks with his skill and ultimate to protect your team and provide passive healing along the way.
What are Luocha’s best light cones?
Echoes of the Coffin is Luocha’s signature five-star light cone, 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.
When it comes to four-star options, Perfect Timing is a great choice as it boosts both Luocha’s effect resistance and outgoing healing. Shared Feeling is also a strong option, especially if you have an energy-hungry team that favors using their ultimates more frequently.
Unfortunately, Post-Op Conversation isn’t a great option for him, as it boosts outgoing healing when the wearer uses their ultimate – and, of course, Luocha’s ultimate doesn’t heal.
| 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 |
| Perfect Timing | Increases Luocha’s effect res by 16% and increases his outgoing healing by 33% of his effect res. Outgoing healing can increase by a max of 15% in this way | 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 Luocha?
Due to Luocha’s primary role and utility being based on 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.
Alternatively, if you want to increase his personal damage, you can go with a full set of Wastelander of Banditry Desert – or, for a balanced healing and damage build, you can combine two pieces of Wasteander of Banditry Desert and two pieces of Passerby of Wandering Clouds, boosting both his outgoing healing and imaginary damage.
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 |
| Wastelander of Banditry Desert | Two equipped: increases imaginary damage by 10% Four equipped: when attacking debuffed enemies, Luocha’s crit rate increases by 10%. If the enemy is imprisoned, his crit damage increases by 20% |
Obtain from Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Conflagration in The Xianzhou Luofu’s Stargazer Navalia |
| Musketeer of Wild Wheat | Two equipped: increases attack by 12% Four equipped: increases Luocha’s speed by 6% and his basic attack damage by 10% |
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 |

What’s the best team comp for Luocha?
As a healer, Luocha fits well in a range of Honkai Star Rail team comps, but thanks to his bonus ability Sanctified, he works particularly well with follow-up attackers. Characters like Honkai Star Rail’s Clara and Honkai Star Rail’s March 7th deal follow-up damage to certain enemies and if this happens inside Luocha’s Cycle of Life field, it grants the team additional passive healing.
Here’s an example of a strong Luocha team comp:
| Main DPS | Tank | Support | Healer |
 Clara |
 March 7th |
