Should You Pull for Luocha?

Healer

Luocha is an Abundance healer who scales with ATK. His Zone heals allies every time they attack an enemy, and his Skill fires on its own when an ally drops to 50% HP or lower, so he barely spends any Skill Points. The trade-off is that keeping the team alive is all he does, and he doesn't add as much damage as newer sustain units.

He suits teams that eat a lot of Skill Points and teams built around DPS units who drain their own HP, like Mydei, Castorice or Blade. If you want a sustain unit who heals and also boosts your damage, think it over first.

Memory of Chaos Very strong He keeps the team alive very reliably, but outside of healing he adds little to the team's damage.
Pure Fiction Strong His Ultimate hits every enemy and removes 1 buff from each of them, while his Zone heals each time an ally attacks.
Apocalyptic Shadow Very strong Steady healing that costs almost no Skill Points, so your DPS gets to use them instead.
Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Excellent healing that is light and easy to maintain
  • His Ultimate dispels enemy buffs across a wide area
  • Nearly immune to crowd control
  • Excellent Skill Point efficiency
  • Always does his job as a sustain unit

Cons

  • He only sustains and nothing more, so his offensive utility falls behind newer sustain units
  • His kit has no emergency heal
  • He scales off ATK, so he has less HP than HP-scaling healers

Best Luocha Build Guide

Best Luocha Build

Luocha's healing scales with ATK, not HP like many other Abundance characters. So stack ATK% to heal more, then add SPD so he acts more often and gets his Zone up faster.

Best Light Cones

  • 1 Echoes of the Coffin Echoes of the Coffin Best
    His best Light Cone. The ATK boost means bigger heals, and he regains Energy whenever he attacks enemies, so his Ultimate comes back often and his Zone is easier to keep up. When he uses his Ultimate, his allies also get a small SPD buff.
  • 2 Night of Fright Night of Fright Great
    Raises his Energy Regeneration Rate and gives him some extra healing. The stacking ATK buff helps his allies too.
  • 3 Time Waits for No One Time Waits for No One Great
    The HP boost makes him tougher and it also raises his Outgoing Healing. When an ally attacks, it deals extra DMG to a random enemy.
  • 4 Perfect Timing Perfect Timing Good
    A 4-star, ideally at S5. It gives good healing and a reason to build more Effect RES, which works as a second line of defense against Crowd Control.
  • 5 Post-Op Conversation Post-Op Conversation Good
    Raises his Energy Regeneration Rate and boosts his Outgoing Healing when he uses his Ultimate. At just S1, Luocha charges his Ultimate in the same number of turns as he would with an Energy Regeneration Rate rope, so with this Light Cone you can switch to an ATK% rope.

Best Relics

1
The best set for most healers. It gives Luocha 12% SPD and the whole team 15% CRIT DMG, a great fit since he usually plays next to CRIT DPS units.
2
If you can't put together 4 Warrior Goddess pieces with good stats yet, mix these two 2-piece bonuses for both SPD and more healing.
3
An easy early-game set. It raises his ATK (which means more healing) and his SPD, as long as the substats are good.

Best Planar Ornaments

1
The healing-focused pick. It gives Outgoing Healing and SPD, and the faster Luocha is, the bigger the healing bonus gets. Great for teams that need a lot of healing.
2
The damage-focused pick, giving the whole team CRIT DMG. You need at least 30% Effect RES to activate it, and DoT DPS units can't make use of the CRIT DMG bonus.
3
Gives Luocha extra HP so he survives better, and raises the whole team's ATK% once he reaches 120 SPD, which is easy to hit. Good for teams with an ATK-scaling DPS.

Main Stats

  • BodyOutgoing Healing Boost
  • FeetSPD
  • Planar SphereATK%
  • Link RopeEnergy Regeneration Rate or ATK%

Substats

  • 1SPD
  • 2ATK%
  • 3HP%
  • 4Effect RES

Take Outgoing Healing Boost on the body and ATK% on the sphere, because his healing scales with ATK. SPD boots let him act more often. Use an Energy Regeneration Rate rope, or, if he has Post-Op Conversation, switch to an ATK% rope for more healing and damage. If you want Luocha to hit a bit harder, swap the body to ATK% and the sphere to Imaginary DMG Boost, at the cost of some healing.

Aim SPD at a breakpoint. Some HP% is still a good idea, especially when Luocha is the only defensive unit on the team. Effect RES is what you need if you run Broken Keel.

Stat Targets

  • ATK2400 or more
  • SPDabove 135, for example 143 or 160
  • HP3500 to 4000 or more
  • DEF800 or more
  • Energy Regeneration Rate19.44% or more

Skill Priority

Talent = Skill > Ultimate, Basic ATK

His Skill is his biggest source of healing and his Talent (the Zone) is the second, so level those two first. Ultimate and Basic ATK come after. The Ultimate is his main source of damage, while his Basic ATK is mostly there to generate Skill Points.

Trace Priority

Sanctified and Cleansing Revival > Through the Valley

Sanctified makes the Zone also heal every ally except the attacker whenever someone attacks an enemy. Cleansing Revival lets his Skill, including the automatic one, remove 1 debuff from the ally. Unlock both early. Through the Valley raises his chance to resist Crowd Control debuffs by 70%, so it can wait.

Eidolon Priority

E0 is enough, E6 is the big one

Luocha does his job well with no Eidolons. E1 gives all allies 20% ATK while the Zone is active. E2 makes his Skill raise his Outgoing Healing by 30% when the ally is below 50% HP, and gives them a Shield if they are at 50% HP or higher. E4 makes enemies Weakened while the Zone is active, so they deal 12% less DMG. E6 lets his Ultimate reduce all enemies' All-Type RES by 20% for 2 turns, which turns Luocha into a healer who also supports your damage.

Best Luocha Teams

Mydei Team, Luocha as Solo Healer

Replace Mydei with: Castorice, Blade

His Zone heals every time an ally attacks an enemy, so Luocha can keep the whole team alive on his own, especially in fast teams that attack many times before the Zone runs out. Mydei drains his own HP, which makes Luocha's Skill trigger by itself more often, giving him more Abyss Flower stacks and more Energy. The two support slots can be swapped for Sparkle, Bronya, Trailblazer (Remembrance) or Pela.

Imaginary Team

With Luocha and Silver Wolf, you can put together an Imaginary-leaning team that works in any fight. The catch is that everyone, Luocha included, needs to be geared more toward damage than usual. Your Imaginary DPS should wear Wastelander of Banditry Desert to get the most damage out of this team.

Budget Team (All 4-Stars)

Luocha can heal the whole team on his own, so the other three slots can all be 4-star characters. That also frees up Natasha or March 7th for your second team, where they can act as a defensive support who can also cleanse debuffs.

Best Teammates for Luocha

Mydei
Mydei

He drains his own HP, which keeps triggering Luocha's automatic Skill and keeps the Zone up. In return, Luocha's strong healing is just what a team that loses HP quickly needs.

Castorice
Castorice

Another DPS who drains her own HP, like Mydei. Luocha's constant healing also helps Castorice build up her Newbud.

Blade
Blade

Blade keeps draining his own HP and needs someone watching his back. The Zone gives Blade all the healing he needs, and if he drops too low, the automatic Skill saves him in time.

Sparkle
Sparkle

Advances allies' turns and gives extra Skill Points.

Bronya
Bronya

Advances an ally's turn with her Skill.

Trailblazer (Remembrance)
Trailblazer (Remembrance)

Gives True DMG buffs and advances allies' turns.

Pela
Pela

A 4-star whose Ultimate lowers enemy DEF.

Silver Wolf
Silver Wolf

With Silver Wolf and Luocha, you can build an Imaginary-leaning team that works in any fight.

How to Play Luocha

Get 2 Abyss Flower Stacks to Deploy the Zone

Every time Luocha uses his Skill or Ultimate, he gains 1 stack of Abyss Flower. At 2 stacks he consumes them all to deploy his Zone, which lasts 2 turns. While the Zone is active, any ally who attacks an enemy is healed right away, and with the Sanctified Trace everyone else also gets back HP equal to 7% of Luocha's ATK plus 93. This healing is a fixed amount based on his Talent level, not life-steal, so even supports who deal almost no damage get fully healed, as long as they actually attack an enemy. If Luocha is knocked down, the Zone disappears.

His Skill Triggers by Itself When an Ally Gets Low

When any ally's HP drops to 50% or lower, Luocha immediately applies an effect equal to his Skill to that ally without spending a Skill Point. It can trigger again after 2 turns. This automatic Skill also gives 1 Abyss Flower stack and the same Energy as using the Skill yourself, and with Cleansing Revival it removes 1 debuff too. This is the reason Luocha is so light on Skill Points.

Don't Use His Skill While the Zone Is Up

Luocha can't gain Abyss Flower stacks while his Zone is active, so using his Skill then is mostly wasted. The standard way to play him is one Skill and one Ultimate to deploy the Zone, then Basic ATK the rest of the time to generate Skill Points for the team. Only use his Skill when an ally is about to go down or needs a debuff removed.

His Ultimate Is for Damage and Dispels, Not Healing

Luocha's Ultimate Death Wish hits every enemy, removes 1 buff from each of them and gives him another Abyss Flower stack. It also chips in a fair amount of Toughness damage, but unlike the Ultimates of many other Abundance characters, it doesn't heal. So when the whole team is low at once, you have to rely on the Zone, and the Zone only heals when allies actually attack an enemy.

Quick Tips

  • Use his Technique before a fight, and his Talent triggers right at the start of the next battle, so the Zone is up early.
  • With Post-Op Conversation, switch his rope to ATK%: his Ultimate charges just as fast and he heals more.
  • Broken Keel needs at least 30% Effect RES, so keep that in mind when you pick substats.
  • Next to other Imaginary characters who can debuff enemies, you can put Wastelander of Banditry Desert on Luocha for extra damage.
  • His Ultimate removes 1 buff from every enemy, which is handy for stripping DMG Barriers and other annoying enemy buffs.

Playstyle overview

Luocha is an Imaginary character on the Path of Abundance. His Skill heals a chosen ally for a large amount of HP, and when a random ally’s HP falls to 50% or below, an effect identical to his Skill triggers immediately. Using his Skill or Ultimate builds up “Abyss Flower.” Once “Abyss Flower” reaches 2 stacks, it is consumed to open the Zone created by “Abyss Flower,” and after an ally attacks any enemy inside the Zone, that ally immediately restores a set amount of HP.

Luocha FAQ

Is Luocha worth pulling?
Yes, if you want a healer who is easy to play, keeps the team safe and is extremely light on Skill Points (on par with Gallagher there). If you want a sustain unit who also boosts your damage, newer characters will suit you better.
What stat does Luocha's healing scale with?
ATK, not HP. That's why you prioritize ATK% and Outgoing Healing Boost, but you should still give him some HP% so he isn't too fragile, especially when he is your only defensive unit.
What Light Cone should Luocha use without Echoes of the Coffin?
Night of Fright and Time Waits for No One are both great. If you only have 4-stars, use Perfect Timing, Post-Op Conversation, Shared Feeling or Quid Pro Quo.
Which Eidolon should I get for Luocha?
E0 is enough for him to heal well. If you want to invest more, E6 is the big one: his Ultimate lowers all enemies' All-Type RES by 20% for 2 turns.
Does Luocha have an emergency heal?
His Skill triggers by itself when an ally drops to 50% HP or lower, but only once every 2 turns. His Ultimate doesn't heal, so when the whole team is low you have to rely on the Zone, and allies only get healed when they attack an enemy.
