A new HoYoLab blog post delves into Lynx’s full character kit forHonkai: Star RailVersion 1.3phase two, which launches on September 20. Firstly, HoYoverse introduces Lynx as one of the most talented explorers of Belobog and the youngest daughter of the prestigious Landau family. Lynx appears to be introverted, but she’s quite skilled as a 4-star Quantum character that helps and heals allies while in combat. For example, Lynx’s technique, Chocolate Energy Bar, grants a continuous healing effect to her allies at the start of the next battle. Her basic attack, Ice Crampon Technique, deals Quantum damage to a single target.
Although Lynx lacks attack options in her character kit, she’s able to heal her allies on each turn by using her Skill and Talent inHonkai: Star Rail. Lynx’s Salted Camping Cans Skill applies the Survival Response status effect to an ally, restoring HP and increasing their max HP stat in battle. The Outdoor Survival Experience Talent grants continuous healing to a single ally and bolsters the Survival Response healing effect after the player activates Lynx’s Ultimate, Snowfield First Aid. Her Ultimate immediately dispels one debuff from the entire party while restoring HP. Moreover, players may upgrade Lynx’s Traces to improve her energy regeneration rate, increase the chance of resisting Crowd Control debuffs, and extend the duration of Lynx’s Talent effect.
Lynx appears to be a very reliable healing unit that may prove to be exceptional in boss battles andend-game activities such as Simulated Universeand Forgotten Hall. She may complement Fu Xuan and other powerfulHonkai: Star Railcharacters in a Quantum-based team comp, but her long term viability remains to be seen. Fortunately, players won’t need to wait long to summon and test out Lynx since she will be available this week.
Eager players may also use Lynx in theupdated iPhone 15 Pro version ofHonkai: Star Rail. The popular mobile title will be updated with several new Apple-exclusive features after the iPhone 15 Pro launches on September 22.
Honkai: Star Railis available now for Android, iOS, and PC. The PlayStation 5 version launches on October 11.
