What are the Ascension materials for Luocha in Honkai Star Rail?

While ascending a character is necessary to unlock their true potential, you need to farm quite a lot of resources to max them out.

Here is a list of materials you will need to ascend Luocha to Level 80:

• 5x Artifex’s Module.
• 15x Artifex’s Cogwheel.

Alternatively, obtain the materials from the Omni Synthesizer, Ember Exchange shop, and Simulated Universe.

To ascend any Imaginary unit, you need the Golden Crown of the Past Shadow, dropped from the Shape of Mirage Stagnant Shadow in Jarilo-VI’s Backwater Pass. You can teleport to the location using Honkai Star Rail’s survival Index.

How to best build Luocha in Honkai Star Rail

Luocha has plenty of 4-star Light Cone options to cater to healing abilities. Hence, we advise you to avoid his signature option, Echoes of the Coffin, due to its niche use cases. Instead, build him with the Post-Op conversation, as its passive provides energy and a healing bonus to the wearer.

To expand his supportability, use the Quid Pro Quo, which regenerates eight percent energy for a randomly chosen ally at the beginning of the wearer's turn.

Since Luocha is primarily a healer in Honkai Star Rail, use the two-piece Passerby of Wandering Cloud Relic to increase his outgoing healing by 10% from its passive. Pair it with a two-piece Musketeer of Wild Wheat, which provides ATK, on which his healing scales.

Lastly, equip him with the Space Sealing Station Planar Ornament from Simulated Universe World 3 to complete his build.
