It’s been two weeks since Lynx was introduced as a healer in Honkai: Star Rail, and players are raving about her impressive abilities. In a recent Reddit thread, users discussed Lynx’s merits and compared her to other healers in the game.
Before Lynx’s release, there were only six Preservation and Abundance characters available in Star Rail, making it difficult for free-to-play players to access healers. Many relied on Natasha as their sole healer, as the others were locked behind elusive five-star banner pulls.
Lynx, however, can be obtained through regular Star Rail Passes, making her more accessible to players. Reddit user Feeed3 shared their experience with Lynx, stating that they prefer using her over Bailu, another healer in the game. They praised Lynx’s AOE cleanse ability, which proves to be a lifesaver in many situations.
Lynx’s Ultimate ability is particularly noteworthy, as it provides instant healing, healing over time, and removes debuffs for all allies. This makes her a valuable asset in Swarm Disaster teams, especially when paired with Fu Xuan, her banner partner. While her healing numbers may not be as high as other healers, when combined with a character that provides shields, this drawback becomes negligible.
However, jrainbowfist offered a word of caution, noting that Lynx’s effectiveness depends on the situation. If facing enemies with annoying crowd control or debuffs that matter, Lynx is a better choice than Bailu. Bailu, on the other hand, excels in raw healing, revival, and damage reduction.
It’s important to consider Luocha as well, another premium healer in the game. Luocha’s passive ability allows her to heal allies as they reach 50% of their maximum hit points and provides a recovery field.
In conclusion, Lynx, as a four-star character, fills a unique niche that no other healer can. While she may not surpass the top-tier Abundance characters like Bailu and Luocha in all aspects, her AOE cleanse ability makes her a valuable addition to any team.
