Main Features of Luocha

How to get Locha

You can pick up this hero for yourself only in the time-limited Jump "Search for the mundane". It was available in the second part of version 1.1. If you are wondering when this character will appear again, then you can follow the updates articles, which contains the most up-to-date information on all upcoming reruns.

Luocha stat progression

With the leveling of the hero, his base stats will also change.

Advantages and disadvantages of Luocha

Lochi has a number of advantages, thanks to which he becomes a much more useful hero in the squad than an ordinary source of heal:

• When opening the corresponding trace, it can remove the weakening from an ally with its skill.
• Able to debuff enemies with his ultimate, and thanks to the imaginary element, he can also delay their action.
• Not devoid of self-damage in the ultimate, as you will be gaining a high attack stat to boost his healing.
• You can use it to generate skill points.

But at the same time, the hero has several disadvantages that must be considered:

• Not capable of emergency treatment of the entire team.
• Due to the scale from the attack, it gains less HP, which makes it less resistant to hits than other healers.

Luocha abilities

With your skill "Thorns of the Abyss" using his sword to hit one mob in the amount of 50~130% of the attack.

After activating the skill "Abyss Flower's Prayer" on an ally immediately restores 40~70% HP from Lochi's attack power + 200~1025 additional HP. Along with this, he is given one stack of Flower of the Abyss. If any character's HP drops below 50% during combat, Locha can immediately heal them out of turn without spending skill points. This ability can only trigger again after two turns.

Ultimate "Death Wish" removes 1 buff from all monsters and performs a fake strike for 120~240% of attack power. This action also earns Locha one stack of Abyssal Flower.

When Locha gains 2 stacks of Abyssal Flower, using the talent "Circle of Life" he sets up the Magic Circle. Hitting an enemy inside this circle heals them for 12~21% of Lochi's attack power + 60~308 HP. This field is valid for two turns. If Locha loses the ability to fight, then it disappears.

With the help of technology "A Fool's Mercy" Locha sets up a healing field immediately after the start of the battle, without waiting for a full set of stacks.

Traces of Luocha

Lochi's bonus buffs are aimed at increasing his effectiveness as a healer, as well as increasing his attack power stat and other stats.

Eidolons of Luocha

For the most part, the hero enhancement data that you can get from duplicates of this character is aimed at empowering him, giving him some of the skills usually found on characters on the path of Harmony and Eternality.

If you want to pump Loch a little with the help of eidolons, then you can completely stop at E1, since it is thanks to him that he will start buffing your entire team. E2 and E4 will increase the survivability of the squad, thereby lowering the requirements for outgoing healing. Basically they do not strengthen Locha, but they will help if you do not have enough of his heal. It takes quite a long way to get E6, but with it, your squad will be able to deal even more damage, which can never be superfluous.

1. Washing the Living - When the healing field is active, the entire unit's attack power is buffed by 20%.
2. Gift of Cleansing - When Locha activates a skill on any teammate, if their current health is < 50%, the healing bonus is increased by 30%. If their HP is > 50%, they gain a protective barrier for 2 turns that can withstand a total damage of 18% of Lochi's AD + 240.
3. Fool's Attempt - Gives two levels to a skill and one to an ordinary attack. Their maximum level becomes 15 and 10 respectively.
4. Heaviness of the Crown – An active healing field weakens enemies, making their attacks 12% weaker.
5. Mark of Sacrifice - Increases the level of the talent and ultimate by 2. Their maximum is now 15.
6. Ashes to Ashes - Activating the ultimate reduces enemies' resistance to all types of damage by 20% for two turns.

How to play as Luocha

The gameplay of Lochi is mostly focused on maintaining the healing area for most of the battle. Here are some tips to make this process easier:

• Activate the technique before the start of the battle. So, you don't have to worry about the Magic Circle for at least the first 2 turns of Lochi.
• Don't use skills that build Abyss Flower levels, namely ultimate and skill, while the healing field is active, as the stacks at that time will still not accumulate, and you will miss the opportunity to get them later when they are really needed.
• Try to use Locha as a skill point generator for the team during the healing field. Activate his ultimate to get one stack of Flower, and to get a second you can use a skill or wait until one of the allies' HP drops below 50% for Locha to cast the ability passively. Be careful that the hero does not fall victim to finishing damage while he waits for this passive to trigger.

The best builds for Luocha

The best light cones

In contrast to most heroes of the Way of Plenty, Loche needs to pick up weapons that buff not health, but attack power. Also, additional energy generation, a healing bonus and various buffs for the whole team will not be superfluous for him.

Best Relics

Of the cave artifacts, the most suitable set would be "Wandering Cloud Drifter", which when fully equipped will increase healing by 10% and give you a fourth skill point at the start of the battle. Can be combined with two parts "Wild Wheat Arrow", which will increase Lochi's attack power. Also, the four parts of this set will not be useless, as they will increase the speed of the hero, which will allow him to walk more often and gain faster stacks to activate the healing field.

In the event that Lochi's healing is enough for you and you want to increase his own damage, then you can choose a set "Thug of the Bandit Desert", which will increase the apparent damage type and crits for hitting debuffed enemies. But do not forget about the attack power and the healing bonus so that the hero continues to effectively perform his main function.

Among planar artifacts, it is better to give preference to one of the following sets:

1. Space Sealing Station - Increases the wearer's attack power by 12%, and if its speed is > 120, then this bonus is increased by an additional 12%. This set focuses on the healing buff from Lochi himself.
2. Ageless Fleet - Increases the wearer's health by 12%. In the event that his speed is at least 120, then the attack power of the entire team is buffed by 8%. This set does not give much to the hero himself, but at the same time it is an excellent support for the entire squad.
3. Living Wonwak - Increases the wearer's energy regeneration by 5%, and at speed > 120, advances its effect by 40% after the start of the battle. Allows you to quickly accumulate ultimate and stacks for Abyssal Flower.

Choose the set that has the best stats, and also pay attention to the needs of your squad: it will probably also have a shield, so the attack buff will be more needed than the increased healing.

If we talk about the characteristics, then you need to look for the following pieces:

• Body: attack power% or healing bonus;
• Legs: attack power% or speed. The second stat is needed to activate all planar relic bonuses;
• Planar Sphere: attack power %;
• Connecting rope: attack power % or energy recovery;
• Additional stats: attack power%, speed, penetration effect, crits.

Top commands for Luocha

Due to his role as a healer, Locha can fit into any squad either as a single support or paired with a shield. It pairs especially well with heroes that lose their HP when attacked, such as Arlan and Blade. Clara can also be attributed here, since Svarog's counterattacks will also restore the girl's HP.

Below you can see some examples of commands that can be made with Locha.

How to improve Lochi's abilities

You can see the items needed to maximize all skills in the images below.

• Mechanical parts drop from enchanted robots in Lofu Xianzhou and virtual universe. They are also part of the assortment of the Pom-Pom store.
• The Seed of Abundance, the Germ of Life, and the Flower of Eternity are harvested from the Sepal in the Sewer Pass. Don't forget to use synthesis to get higher level materials.
• The Sorrow of the Guardian is issued after defeating Kokoliya in the Echo of the War on Yarilo-VI.
• Imprints of Fate are obtained by completing tasks in temporary events, the Virtual Universe and the Honor of the Nameless, and are also purchased for cashback from Jumps.

As for the priority of leveling traces, then allocate resources to skill and talent first, since they are the sources of healing, thanks to which Locha fulfills its function. Next, pay attention to the ultimate, as it is Lochi's biggest source of damage. Upgrade your basic attack last: it is only used to generate skill points.
