Lingsha in Honkai Star Rail: Leaks and everything we know

Here is everything we know about the Lingsha in Honkai Star Rail, including the possible leaks.

While players are busy with Yunli and Jiaoqiu from version 2.4, leakers have started revealing information beyond that. HoYoverse’s return to Xianzhou Loufu will see the release of a brand new unit Lingsha.

While this character’s name has been revealed officially, the rest of the information is still under a veil. Fortunately, leakers have shed some light on Lingsha which includes her potential element and her possible kit.

The below information is from Honey Hunter World who has a good track record of providing information that turns out to be reliable and accurate. However, players should still take it with a pinch of salt until developers release the official information.

Does Lingsha have a release date?

No, Lingsha does not have a release date in Honkai Star Rail.

However, she is confirmed to be available in the second half of version 2.5 which will be available on October 2, 2024.

Who is Lingsha?

Lingsha is part of Xianzhou Loufu’s Alchemy Commission and currently holds the role of the Cauldron Master. Leaks suggest she is expected to make an appearance in version 2.4 during the Wardance event in Xianzhou Loufu.

Lingsha element and path

Lingsha is leaked to be a Fire unit in Honkai Star Rail, hailing from the path of The Abundance. If this is true, she can become a possible replacement for Gallagher, who is a 4-star unit, but has the same element and path.
