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.
