Natasha, a 4-star Abundance character, excels in providing healing support to team members. Despite being often compared to Bailu, the 5-star healer character in Honkai: Star Rail, Natasha's capabilities should not be overlooked by players who have already obtained Bailu. In fact, Natasha's utility can surpass Bailu's in certain content, particularly when the enemy inflicts debuffs on team members, as Natasha can dispel these debuffs, unlike Bailu.
Additionally, due to the limited availability of Abundance characters in Honkai: Star Rail, players are strongly advised to consider Natasha, especially for defensive gameplay situations such as in the Forgotten Hall, where preventing character knockdowns is crucial for earning more stars. Fortunately, since both Bailu and Natasha scale with HP and require similar builds, players can swap their light cones and relics based on the specific content that suits either of them.
5 Cornucopia
- Base ATK (LVL 80): 264
- Base DEF (LVL 80): 264
- Base HP (LVL 80): 952
- Effect : When the wearer uses their Skill or Ultimate, their Outgoing Healing increases by 12%/15%/18%/21%/24% .
Cornucopia is a F2P-friendly 3-star light cone that excels at providing healing support to characters. Despite its lower rarity, it performs admirably in terms of healing rates, thanks to its Outgoing Healing buff that can be triggered by either skill or ultimate abilities. Since Natasha possesses both of these abilities to heal the team or a specific ally character, she can consistently benefit from the higher healing rates, particularly when Cornucopia is fully superimposed. Achieving max superimpose for Cornucopia is not very challenging due to its rarity, making it an accessible and effective option for Natasha.
4 Warmth Shortens Cold Nights
- Base ATK (LVL 80): 370
- Base DEF (LVL 80): 396
- Base HP (LVL 80): 1058
- Effect : Increases the wearer's Max HP by 16/20/24/28/32% . When using Basic ATK or Skill, restore all allies' HP by an amount equal to 2/2.5/3/3.5/4% of their respective Max HP.
Warmth Shortens Cold Nights is a highly suitable light cone for Natasha since she scales with HP. Furthermore, it even allows her to heal while using her Basic Attack, which is not possible otherwise. However, its main drawback is that it can only be obtained by reaching level 30 in Nameless Honor and purchasing Nameless Glory with real-life currency. While it is effective on its own, it may not be the most practical choice in general. This is due to the limited number of Abundance characters in the game and its exclusive benefit to those who scale with HP, making it less future-proof for upcoming Abundance characters like Luocha. As a result, players have the option to consider alternatives such as Quid Pro Quo or other options available on this list.
3 Shared Feeling
- Base ATK (LVL 80): 370
- Base DEF (LVL 80): 396
- Base HP (LVL 80): 1058
- Effect : Increases the wearer’s Outgoing Healing by 10%/12.5%/15%/17.5%/20% . When using Skill, regenerates 2/3/3/4/4 Energy for all allies.
Similar to Cornucopia, Shared Feeling also features an Outgoing Healing buff, albeit at slightly lower ratios, and provides it unconditionally. Additionally, this light cone offers Natasha another benefit by aiding in energy generation, further enhancing her utility as a healer. With Shared Feeling, Natasha can not only maintain her allies' HP at high levels but also help them reach their Ultimate skills faster, which proves highly advantageous in specific content. Luckily, while Natasha's skill is essentially single target, the energy regeneration is still reflected to all allies.
2 Post-Op Conversation
- Base ATK (LVL 80): 423
- Base DEF (LVL 80): 330
- Base HP (LVL 80): 1058
- Effect : Increases Energy Regeneration Rate of its wearer by 8%/10%/12%/14%/16% and increases Outgoing Healing when they use their Ultimate by 12%/15%/18%/21%/24% .
Post-Op Conversation is an excellent choice for situations where the enemy frequently deals AoE damage to the allies, necessitating consistent AoE healing. Since Natasha's only AoE healing ability is her Ultimate, this light cone enables her to use this ability more frequently, which can be a decisive factor in certain battles. Additionally, it reduces her reliance on her Skill, allowing her to conserve skill points in teams where they are in high demand. This light cone proves particularly beneficial in such scenarios.
1 Time Waits For No One
- Base ATK (LVL 80): 476
- Base DEF (LVL 80): 463
- Base HP (LVL 80): 1270
- Effect : Increases the wearer’s Max HP by 12%/15%/18%/21%/24% and Outgoing Healing by 12%/15%/18%/21%/24% . When the wearer heals allies, record the amount of Outgoing Healing. When any ally launches an attack, a random attacked enemy takes additional DMG equal to 50%/62.5%/75%/82.5%/95% of the recorded Outgoing Healing value. This additional DMG is of the same Type as the wearer’s, is not affected by other buffs, and can only occur 1 time per turn.
Time Waits For No One, Bailu's signature 5-star light cone, is exceptionally suitable for Natasha as well. She can greatly benefit from all the effects it offers, and its high HP stat is particularly advantageous due to its rarity. The combination of increased max HP and outgoing healing effects enables Natasha to heal with her utmost potential and also contributes to an increase in DPS values, thanks to the additional effect provided. While this may not be considered the most valuable effect of the light cone, it can prove beneficial in content where defeating the enemy in as few turns as possible while maintaining high healing is crucial.
Honkai: Star Rail is now available on Android, iOS, and PC. A PlayStation version is in development.
