Huohuo is green-haired Foxian lady from the Xianzhou Luofu and is a Ten-Lords Fee Decide-in-training, even when she would not appear like it when contemplating how a lot of a scaredy-cat she is. However even when she fears the very ghosts she is tasked to catch and exorcise, she wields immense energy due to Tail, a strong Heliobus that was sealed inside her tail.

Is Huohuo higher than Luocha?
However earlier than we get into play Huohuo, we do want to debate first how she fares in opposition to different Abundance characters.
Abundance characters are an essential a part of any workforce in Honkai: Star Rail as a defensive assist that heals any harm sustained by the occasion by means of battle. Since each Abundance character can heal, their worth have to be judged by how good their therapeutic is in addition to what different issues they bring about to the desk.
In Huohuo’s case, she gives lots of therapeutic each throughout her flip and different occasion members’ turns, in addition to the power to dispel debuffs and supply party-wide vitality regeneration and ATK buffs.
That already makes her higher than all different 4-star and customary 5-star Abundance characters like Natasha, Lynx, and Bailu. However the true query is… is Huohuo higher than Luocha, who has been the sport’s prime healer since his launch in model 1.1?
Luocha heals an ally together with his ability, can heal off-turn every time an ally falls under half well being, summons a discipline together with his expertise that heals the whole occasion every time a celebration member assaults, and dispel buffs on enemies together with his final.
On paper, Huohuo appears to convey way more to the desk than Luocha.

Luocha’s capability to heal in emergencies can be higher, as he mechanically heals an ally as quickly as they fall under 50% well being. However, Huohuo’s emergency therapeutic will solely come on-line throughout an ally’s flip.
And sure, Luocha would not have something like Huohuo’s party-wide vitality regeneration and ATK buffs, however that comes together with her final and cannot be a substitute for a Concord character in your occasion.
So, with all that stated, we expect that each Huohuo and Luocha are squarely within the S-tier for Abundance characters and one is not essentially higher than the opposite. Each characters convey lots of good issues to the desk that include their very own drawbacks which you want to remember when including them to your groups.
If you do not have Luocha and need to get Huohuo, that is good! If you do not have Luocha and need to skip Huohuo to attend for his rerun, that is wonderful too. You probably have Luocha already and need to get Huohuo, that is nice! Now you’ve the 2 prime Abundance characters within the recreation sustaining your two groups in Reminiscence of Chaos, extra energy to you!
