Updated May 12, 2025, by Sean Murray:To get the most out of Honkai: Star Rail’s most powerful healer, you’ll need Natasha’s best Relics and Ornaments. This guide has that covered and a few more things thanks to the added links. We’ve also tweaked this guide’s formatting to follow our most recent style.
Best Relics And Planar Ornaments For Natasha
To bolster Natasha’s healing effectiveness you’ll want to use Relics thatincrease Natasha’s max HP. This is because her healing skillsscale based on her max HP, meaning upgrading this stat will in turn make her heals stronger. To that end, we recommend using the following Relics with Natasha.
Relic
Passerby of Wandering Cloud
The 2-piece bonus of this setincreases Outgoing Healing by 10%, while the 4-piece bonusrestores a Skill Pointat the start of battle. Overall, these Relics make Natasha’s healing more powerful.
Messenger Traversing Hackerspace
The first set bonus of this Relic set increases the wearer’s Speed by 6%, while the 4-piece bonus increases theSpeed of allallieswhen the wearer uses their Ultimate. This set is better when higher speed is needed, or when youdon’t need to heal as much.
Planar Ornament
Fleet of the Ageless
These Planar Ornamentsincrease the wearer’s max HP by 12%, and if their speed is greater than 120, all allies' attack stat will beincreased by 8%. The most important thing here is the increased health, but if you’re able to reach 120 speed, the damage buff to other allies will be greatly beneficial.
In addition to the bonus effects on your Relics, you’ll want toprioritize different stats on each Relicwhen building Natasha. Generally,Outgoing Healing and max HPwill provide the most additional healing, butSpeedis also extremely useful. Below you can find the suggested main stats for each Relic piece.
HP (guaranteed)
ATK (guaranteed)
Link Rope
Energy Regeneration Rate > HP
For Relic sub-stats,attempt to balance HP percent, HP, and Speed, with someDefenseandEffect Reswhere possible to increase survivability.
If Natasha’s heals are already strong enoughto fully restore your party, you may want tofocus on Speed over HPto gain the bonus effects of Passerby of Wandering Cloud’s 4-piece set.
Best Light Cones For Natasha
There are a few good choices for Light Cones to use with Natasha. Below, you can find alist of the best ones, as well as a brief description of what makes them good.
Explanation
Time Waits for No One (5-star)
This Light Cone is perfect for Natasha, as it bothincreases her max HP by 19%andOutgoing Healing by 12%. Plus, when the wearer heals an ally, this heal is recorded and then acts as the base for asecondary attackwhen the wearer uses their normal attack.
The only downside to this Light Cone is that itcan only be obtained from Warping, meaning it won’t be as accessible as other options.
Post-Op Conversation (4-star)
Post-Op Conversation is Natasha’s signature Light Cone, increasing the wearer’sEnergy Regeneration by 8%andOutgoing Healing of their Ultimate by 12%. Overall, this Light Cone synergizes very well with Natasha, allowing her to use her Ultimate more often, which will heal for even more.
Warmth Shortens Cold Nights (4-star)
Warmth Shortens Cold Nights is abattle pass-exclusive Light Conethatincreases the wearer’s max HP by 16%, andheals all allies for 2% of their max HPwhen the wearer uses a basic attack or skill.
The AoE heal provided by this Light Cone is almost negligible, but the big increase to max HP can make it worth it if you don’t have Post-Op Conversation.
Shared Feeling (4-star)
Shared Feelingincreases the wearer’s Outgoing Healing by 10%, and provides all allies with2 Energy when using a Skill. This Light Cone is great forboosting the Ultimate recharge rate for allieswhile healing a bit more with Natasha’s skill and Ultimate.
Cornucopia (3-star)
Cornucopia is a Light Cone that increases theOutgoing Healing of the wearer’s Skill and Ultimate by 12%. These bonuses are pretty good considering the Light Cone’s rarity, but thebase stats are outclassedby Light Cones of higher rarity.
Fine Fruit (3-star)
Fine Fruitregenerates 6 energyfor all allies at the start of the battle. While not the best, this Light Cone can be good forshort battleswhere you want to use your Ultimates immediately at the start of the battle. However, for Natasha, there are several much better choices.
Natasha Traces Overview And Priority
Natasha has several good passive talents and abilities that should be upgraded to bring her to full potential. Below, you’re able to seea list of her Trace abilities, and some tips for choosing which to prioritize with your limited materials.
Love, Heal, and Choose
Skill
Restore an ally’s health, then continue to restore their health each turn for 2 turns.
Innervation
Talent
When healing allies that are below 30% HP, increase Outgoing Healing.
Hypnosis Research
Technique
Attack the enemy. When entering battle, deal physical damage to a random enemy, then weaken all enemies. Weakened enemies deal 30% less damage for 1 turn.
Recuperation
Bonus Ability
Increases the duration of Natasha’s skill’s continuous healing by 1 turn.
When upgrading Natasha’s Traces,focus on her Skill, Ultimate, and Talent first, followed by herattack and Technique. HerSkill is her most useful asset, so increasing its effectiveness should be a priority.
UnlockingSootheandRecuperationshould also be high on your list of priorities, as these abilities can drastically increase Natasha’s effectiveness.
Tips For Using Natasha
With the number of build options available for characters in Honkai: Star Rail, it can get confusing when it comes time to prioritize which materials to get and where to spend them. For Natasha, you’ll want tobe careful when stacking max HP and Outgoing Healing, as this can lead todiminishing returns at higher levels.
Depending on your party’s max HP and defense stats,having the highest healing power you’re able to get might not be worth it. For example, if Natasha’s skill is healing for way more health than any of your characters' even have, you may want to cut down on these stats in favor of others.
Speed will provide more benefit than max HP and Outgoing Healing at higher levels, as it will allow Natasha to heal more frequently for smaller amounts rather than a large amount, but with longer time between each heal.
Try tobalance your stats efficientlyto maximize Natasha’s effectiveness in battle.
Due to the way Natasha’s skills work, it may be beneficial towait for an ally’s health to go below 30 percent before healing them. This tactic can be risky, but the healing bonus makes it worth it. Healing allies below 30 percent health will make theheal you target them with even stronger.
Also, try to alwayssave at least one Skill Pointto heal allies in a pinch, and save Natasha’s Ultimate for when two or three allies are hurt. You’ll want to wait to use these limited abilities to maximize their usefulness.
If you’re using theMessenger Traversing HackerspaceRelic set, and aren’t in immediate danger, you canuse Natasha’s Ultimate as soon as it’s availableto give your party a nice Speed boost.
Are Natasha’s Eidolons Worth It?
Even with no Eidolon levels, Natasha is already an extremelypowerful healer. HerEidolon levels only work to increase this effectiveness, but they are a bit more situational, relying on the character being healed to be less than 30 percent health.
Overall, Natasha’s Eidolon’s are good, butnot worth investing heavily into. However, due to Natasha being a 4-star character, and one you can obtain for free from the story, there is a high chance you will get a duplicate or two of her later down the line through Warping.
Any Eidolon levels you unlock for her will be beneficial, butdon’t prioritize upgrading her to Eidolon level six.
