Lynx | Honkai: Star Rail

Overview

Lynx combines team cleansing with targeted healing that can steer attacks toward a Destruction or Preservation ally.

Role

Sustain and conditional aggro support.

Playstyle

Place Survival Response deliberately, then use Basic ATKs between necessary heals and preserve access to her team cleanse.

Why It Works

Survival Response raises Max HP and strengthens continuous healing. Ultimate removes one debuff from every ally while healing the party.

Watch For

The increased chance of being attacked applies only to Destruction and Preservation. Not every ally on those Paths wants more enemy attention.

Playstyle

Combat Flow

Use Skill on the ally who needs Survival Response, particularly a counter attacker. Basic ATK when existing healing covers the next enemy actions. Use Ultimate for a dangerous debuff or team-wide HP loss; do not hold it so long that an ally is knocked down. Refresh Survival Response according to the target's turns and incoming pressure.

Key Notes

Skill and Ultimate both apply continuous healing. Survival Response increases that healing.
Advance Surveying restores Lynx's Energy when an ally with Survival Response is hit.
Fast allies and Action Advance can consume the target's buff duration quickly.
Do not apply increased aggro to a fragile Destruction damage dealer without a reason.
Do not confuse Ultimate's cleanse with E2's one-time debuff resistance.

Build & Investment

Light Cones

Primary

Night of Fright

Energy Regeneration and its ally-Ultimate healing support sustain. Healing also builds an ATK buff for the healed ally.

Alternative

Post-Op Conversation

Provides Energy Regeneration and extra Outgoing Healing for Ultimate. It does not boost every source of her healing equally.

Alternative

Quid Pro Quo

At the start of her turn, restores Energy to a random other ally below the cone's Energy threshold. Use when team Energy is more valuable than extra healing stats.

Relics

Primary

Warrior Goddess of Sun and Thunder

Four pieces activate SPD and team CRIT DMG when she heals another ally. Continuous healing gives repeated opportunities to refresh it.

Situational

Messenger Traversing Hackerspace

Her ally-targeting Ultimate activates the four-piece team SPD buff. Consider how that short buff changes turn order.

Planars

Situational

Broken Keel

Use 30% Effect RES to enable team CRIT DMG for a counter or other CRIT team.

Situational

Fleet of the Ageless

HP supports her healing and Survival Response. At 120 SPD it also grants team ATK.

Main Stats

Body

Outgoing Healing Boost
AlternativeHP%

For reliable healing.

Alternative when the larger Survival Response HP bonus matters and healing remains sufficient.

Feet

SPD

For Skill Points, Energy and timely refreshes.

Sphere

Her healing and Survival Response scale with HP.

Rope

Energy Regeneration Rate

For team cleanse and healing access.

Recommended Substats

SPD
HP%
Effect RES
DEF%

Use SPD for timely turns, then HP for healing and Survival Response. Add Effect RES to keep the healer available and meet Broken Keel if equipped; DEF is useful when Lynx herself is taking too much damage.

Eidolon Investment

E0 already heals, cleanses and supplies the conditional aggro effect. E2 adds one-use debuff protection, while E6 strengthens Survival Response; use acquired copies without treating a four-star banner as a guaranteed purchase.

Lynx has no dedicated five-star signature cone. Existing Abundance options can cover her healing or Energy needs; a limited cone is not required to enable Survival Response.

Improves healing to an ally at or below 50% HP, including continuous healing.

An ally with Survival Response can resist one debuff application. This is broader than Crowd Control, but it is not permanent immunity.

Applying Survival Response grants ATK equal to 3% of Lynx's Max HP for one turn. Its duration is short.

Adds more Max HP to Survival Response and grants its target 30% Effect RES.

Teams

Recommended Teammates

Clara

Clara wants enemy attacks to trigger Svarog's counters. Survival Response raises her chance of being targeted; Lynx also removes debuffs that could stop Clara from acting.

Yunli

Yunli gains Energy and counters when attacked. Survival Response supports that pattern between Ultimate taunts, particularly when she lacks another aggro source.

Blade

Blade gains Charge from damage and HP consumption. Survival Response adds HP and enemy attention, while healing keeps him able to continue; fast Action Advance consumes its duration sooner.
