  • Among the Abundance healers, Bailu and Luocha have powerful healing abilities, while Natasha and Lynx offer additional utility such as debuff removal and tank support.

A healer is always crucial to have in any combat-based game, including Honkai: Star Rail. When Trailblazers first start their journey, a healer may appear unnecessary, especially as they already have March 7th to shield their teammates. However, once people start coming across more intimidating opponents, they will find that having a healer and a cleanser is necessary to survive enemies’ deadly hits.

5 Mistakes Players Make When Playing Honkai: Star Rail
Honkai: Star Rail can be overwhelming for new players, and these mistakes are some of the most common to make.

Therefore, it’s important to know every healer available in Honkai: Star Rail, their ranking, and how to use them, especially when considering that each of them has different Elements and features that make them unique.

Updated on October 18, 2023, by Nahda Nabiilah: Healers and shielders may not bring large numbers in Honkai: Star Rail battles, but they're essential to keep a DPS alive. As of version 1.4, there are four Abundance characters in the game, each with their own Element and special features. For instance, Bailu has a revival ability, Natasha and Luocha can cleanse with their Skills, Luocha can create a healing field, and Lynx can increase the chance of a character getting hit and can cleanse with her Ultimate. This article ranks the utility and healing prowess of each Abundance unit in Honkai: Star Rail.

4 Natasha

  • Rarity: 4-Star
  • Element: Physical
  • Path: Abundance
  • Scaling: HP
  • Healing Source: Skill and Ultimate

Players will get Natasha for free after obtaining the medical supplies she needs in the main quest. Although she’s a free character, players shouldn’t underestimate her as she does her job perfectly. The leader of the Wildfire heals on both her Skills and Ultimate. For Skill, she restores HP to an ally while giving them a buff that further heals them at the beginning of their turn (for the next two turns), but its recovery is lowered.

If players use Natasha's Skill, they will restore a large amount of energy for Natasha. Players typically can regain Natasha’s Ultimate by using two Skills and one Basic Attack. This means players can forcefully use Natasha's Skill to ensure her Ultimate is always available as a panic button. As for her Talent, the Underworld doctor has the ability to enhance her healing if the ally has less than 30% HP.

Other than healing, once players unlock the Soothe Trace, she will also remove one debuff on the target ally when she Skills, which means she can easily remove Crowd Control effects like Frozen. This will come a long way in players' journey against enemies that constantly incapacitate the team.

All in all, Natasha is far from bad and definitely can help players on a long journey. Unfortunately, the other healers that are currently available in Honkai: Star Rail are 5-stars, so it’s no surprise that she has to settle with the bottom rank.

3 Lynx

  • Rarity: 4-Star
  • Element: Quantum
  • Path: Abundance
  • Scaling: HP
  • Healing Source: Skill, Ultimate, Talent, and Technique

Lynx has two main features that make herself a notable healer in Honkai: Star Rail. To start, she's the first unit in the game that can cleanse debuff from the entire team via her Ultimate. Typically, characters can only cleanse debuff from one character at a time, but Lynx can do this for everyone. Next, her Skill can place Survival Response on a character. If the affected character follows the Path of Preservation or Destruction, it'll increase the chance of the said unit getting attacked. This is perfect to ensure the tank is the one taking hits or to utilize certain abilities like Blade's Talent.

However, note that Lynx's healing is on the lower-end of the spectrum, so players should be careful and don't overestimate the HP she'll restore with her ability.

2 Bailu

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Element: Lightning
  • Path: Abundance
  • Scaling: HP
  • Healing Source: Skill, Ultimate, Talent, and Technique

Bailu is a Standard Character who treads on the Path of Abundance. Her entire kit largely revolves around healing, be it her Skill, Ultimate, Talent, or Technique. With Bailu’s Skill, she heals one ally based on her Max HP, and then, the healing will bounce randomly two more times, healing 15% less each time.

As for Bailu’s Ultimate, she heals all allies while applying the Invigoration buff. When an ally with this buff got attacked, they will immediately restore HP based on Bailu’s Max HP. This means players don’t have to worry when their team is getting attacked under Bailu’s Invigoration effect. Other than her Skill and Ultimate, Bailu will immediately grant the Invigoration effect for two turns when she uses her Technique before the battle.

On top of the Invigoration effect, Bailu’s Talent can also revive an ally when they’re knocked down, immediately healing them along the way; the revived ally will not lose their buffs and energy, allowing them to maintain all the previous states. This effect can only trigger once per battle, but those who have journeyed with Bailu will know that once per battle is game-changing all the same, especially in content like Simulated Universe where players can constantly revive after battling each enemy.

1 Luocha

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Element: Imaginary
  • Path: Abundance
  • Scaling: ATK
  • Healing Source: Skill, Talent, and Technique

Luocha was available in the second Honkai: Star Rail CBT, so his kit could always change on the live version. However, in the Beta, Luocha was famous for being an excellent healer. Unlike Natasha and Bailu who scales with HP, Luocha’s healing scales with his ATK, which means he can even perform offensively. Now, add to the fact that Luocha has a high base ATK (95 at Lv1, compared to Natasha, Bailu, Seele, and Himeko which have 64, 76, 87, and 102, respectively), it further emphasizes the potential that he has.

By using Luocha’s Skill, he will heal one ally by a percentage of his ATK plus a flat number. Additionally, he obtains one stack of his Talent. While Luocha has one stack, when a team member’s HP drops under 50%, he will automatically consume the stack to use his Skill, which won’t consume players’ Skill Points. However, this effect has a limit; it can only be triggered again after Luocha takes action twice, which means it won’t happen endlessly.

Although the stack effect doesn’t trigger constantly, it’s not bad as his Talent allows him to do something even better. After Luocha holds two stacks, he will consume them and create a field upon the enemy. This field heals any ally that attacks the enemy, lasting for Luocha's two turns. The healing is lower than his Skill, but considering it can be used multiple times, it’s an amazing effect. This system is somewhat similar to Genshin Impact Qiqi, who places a debuff on the enemy and allows the active character to heal while attacking the marked opponent.

Meanwhile, unlike Natasha and Bailu that heal with their Ultimate, Luocha deals Imaginary DMG to all enemies while removing one of their buffs. He will also gain one stack this way, so players can even rely on this for a constant stream of healing.
