Luocha Build Guide 2026: Still the Best Coffin-Carrying Healer
Master the best Luocha build with top Light Cones, Relics, and Traces for powerful, flexible healing in Honkai: Star Rail 2026.
Hey there, fellow Trailblazers! It's 2026, and I'm still hopelessly devoted to Luocha, the Imaginary healer who carries a coffin, steals debuffs, and somehow makes me feel safe while looking like he's about to attend a very fancy funeral. I remember when he first arrived back in Version 1.1, and everyone lost their minds over a healer who scales off ATK instead of HP. Fast forward to now, and he's still my go-to Abundance unit for most endgame content. Why? Because his kit is weirdly elegant, and his build is surprisingly flexible. So grab a cup of coffee (or a coffin-shaped mug), and let me walk you through the best Light Cones, Relics, and Traces for Luocha in 2026. Trust me, I've made all the mistakes so you don't have to.

Best Light Cones for Luocha

Since Luocha is a 5-Star character, he has a signature Light Cone that fits him like a tailored suit: Echoes of the Coffin. This is the only Abundance Light Cone that boosts ATK, which is perfect because his healing scales off ATK. At max superimposition, it gives a 40% ATK bonus and adds 32 Speed to all party members after Luocha uses his Ultimate. Oh, and it can restore 5 Energy up to three times per attack if you target different enemies. It's basically a Swiss Army knife for your healer.
But what if you don't have his signature? No worries. The other 5-Star Abundance Light Cone is Bailu's Time Waits For No One. It boosts Outgoing Healing and Max HP, and when Luocha heals an ally, it records the healing and then deals up to 36% of that as Additional DMG to a random enemy. It's like giving your healer a part-time DPS job.
For 4-Star options, Perfect Timing is my absolute favorite. It increases Effect RES by up to 32%, and then boosts Outgoing Healing by up to 45% of that Effect RES (max 27%). Effect RES is crucial for supports because you want Luocha to keep healing, not sit there stunned like a statue. If you're really scraping the barrel, Shared Feeling works as a budget option. It boosts Outgoing Healing by up to 20% and restores up to 4 Energy to the whole party when Luocha uses his Skill. It's not flashy, but it gets the job done.
Here's a quick comparison table for my fellow min-maxers:
| Light Cone | Rarity | Key Effect | My Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Echoes of the Coffin | 5★ | +40% ATK, +32 Speed after Ultimate | 🐐 Best in slot |
| Time Waits For No One | 5★ | +Healing, +Max HP, bonus DMG | Solid alternative |
| Perfect Timing | 4★ | +Effect RES, +Healing based on RES | 🥇 Best 4-star |
| Shared Feeling | 4★ | +Healing, +4 Energy on Skill | Budget friendly |
Best Relics & Planetary Ornaments for Luocha

Because Luocha scales off ATK, his Relic choices are different from other healers like Natasha or Bailu. Whatever build you go for, you absolutely must include a 2-piece Musketeer of Wild Wheat set. That gives a flat 12% ATK boost, and since it's one of the most common Relics in the game, you probably already have a few good pieces lying around.
For the other 2-piece, you have two main options:
-
2-piece Passerby of Wandering Cloud: +10% Outgoing Healing. This is my default choice because it makes his healing even more ridiculous. Your team will basically be immortal.
-
2-piece Wastelander of Banditry Desert: +10% Imaginary DMG. This turns Luocha into a semi-DPS, which is fun if you want him to contribute more damage. I only recommend this if you have a Light Cone that pushes you toward offense.
Most builds should go with Passerby, but hey, you do you.
For Planetary Ornaments, the only set that truly works for Luocha is Space Sealing Station. It boosts ATK by 12%, and if you can get his Speed to 120, you get an extra 12% ATK. Since Luocha starts with 101 Speed, you just need a decent Speed boot. Easy peasy. I've seen people try other sets, but trust me, Space Sealing Station is the way.
Best Traces for Luocha

The most important Trace to invest in is his Talent. This is the source of his Abyss Flower Field, which heals allies every time they attack an enemy. The more you level it up, the more healing they get based on Luocha's ATK. It's the backbone of his kit, so max it out first.
After that, you have a choice between his Skill and Ultimate. Both create Abyss Flowers, so it depends on your playstyle. I personally prioritize his Skill because it can trigger automatically when an ally drops below 50% HP, and it also cleanses one debuff. That brings me to his secondary Trace, Cleansing Revival. This is a lifesaver against enemies like Kafka who love to apply nasty debuffs. Only a handful of characters can remove debuffs (shoutout to Natasha, March 7th, Clara, and Bronya), so having Luocha do it for free is huge.
In 2026, Luocha remains a top-tier healer because his kit is timeless. He doesn't need fancy new gear to shine—just a good ATK stat, some Speed, and a dream. So go forth, build your coffin-carrying boyfriend, and watch your team never die. Happy Trailblazing! 🚂💀
Data referenced from HowLongToBeat helps frame why flexible sustainers like Luocha stay popular over multiple patches: when players are optimizing their limited session time for long-form grinds and repeatable endgame loops, consistent “set-and-forget” healing, debuff control, and low-maintenance stat priorities (ATK + SPD) can matter as much as raw power, keeping teams stable while you push clears efficiently.
