Although Honkai Star Rail is a Gacha game, it is quite generous and gives out several characters for free. Among them are Natasha and Lynx, who have roles as healers in your team. While both are four-star units, they have some differences in their kits, which may make you want to prioritize building one character over the other. If you want to learn more about this topic, you can read our guide to find out more about it.
Honkai Star Rail Building Natasha Vs Lynx Guide
Both Natasha and Lynx seem to have similar kits at first glance. The two units can heal other allies with their Skills and can provide AoE healing using their Ultimates. The two characters’ abilities also rely heavily on their max HP, which makes them quite easy to build compared to DPS units.
However, I recommend Lynx over Natasha because she can Cleanse one debuff for your team using her Ultimate. On the other hand, Natasha can only provide Cleanse to one ally using her Skill. Do note that you must also unlock her Bonus Trace: Soothe before she can apply Cleanse using her Skill.
Lynx can also provide more damage than Natasha since her Basic ATK scales with her max HP. Natasha has a similar ability, but it is locked behind her E6, Doctor’s Grace. With this Eidolon, the doctor can deal extra Physical DMG equal to 40 percent of her max HP.
Lynx also works well with Destruction or Preservation units because she can boost an ally’s aggro with her Skill. The Survival Response effect can also raise the target ally’s max HP by 7.5 percent of Lynx’s max HP plus 200 points.
Of course, if you are planning to challenge Memory of Chaos, having two healers is a necessity. Unless you obtain a five-star healer, like Bailu, you will end up leveling up both Natasha and Lynx. However, if you are only interested in beating the main story, you should build Lynx over Natasha since she is a better healer than the doctor at E0.
That’s the end of our guide on whether you should build Natasha or Lynx first. GameLuster has other HSR content you may want to check out before leaving the website, such as how to build Fire Trailblazer.
