Lynx is a 4-star Quantum unit in Honkai Star Rail hailing from the Path of Abundance. Here is a detailed guide for Lynx featuring her abilities, Light Cones, Eidolons, and much more.

Lynx is another needed healer in Honkai Star Rail. Healing is a tough task in this game, considering other top-tier units like Luocha and Huohuo exist.

However, Lynx stands her ground exceptionally well amidst the competition. She has single-target healing and party-wide healing, and she can also cleanse one debuff from the entire party through her ultimate. The last part makes her a really good unit since Luocha and Natasha possess single-target cleanse.

Therefore, it will be valuable if you possess at least one copy of Lynx in your account, and if you did end up getting her, here is all you need to know.

Lynx is an Abundance unit in Honkai Star Rail, which means her best Light Cone is Night of Fright. This Light Cone increases the Energy Regeneration of the wearer by 12% and also enhances an ally’s ATK by 2.4% after healing them.

This is Huohuo’s signature Light Cone that you can pull when Honkai Star Rail features her on a banner.

If you are looking for another option, then Warmth Shortens Cold Nights is a really good Light Cone for Lynx. This one can be obtained by reaching level 30 on the Battle Pass.

Best Lynx Team comp in Honkai Star Rail

Lynx functions exceptionally well with Blade

Lynx is an Abundance unit, making her extremely versatile. However, if you want an optimal team for her, then Blade, Bronya, and Silver Wolf will be her ideal partners. This is because Lynx’s skill works in a way where Destruction and Preservation units are targeted by enemies more frequently.

This synergizes well with characters like Blade, who want to get hit by enemies to trigger his passive ability. Additionally, you can run a mono-Quantum team involving Seele, Lynx, Fu Xuan, and Silver Wolf.
