You will have the opportunity to grab a free copy of Lucha or Luan May in Honkai: Star Rail As part of the version 3.2 update.
all Star Rail Players can charge a Golden Companion Spirit (New type of currency) Between the release of version 3.2 and the end of version 3.4. These spirits can be exchanged for 5-star characters, but at launch the two options are Luo Cha and Luang Mae.
That being said, you may be wondering, “Should I choose Lucha or Luang May?” The answer should be your heart. If you love Lucha and want to collect his idrons, you can choose him. However, if you are looking for answers based on meta, we’ll explain them below.
Simple Disclaimer: Your needs vary depending on the unit you have, so do your own research into what your particular character wants! Our answer is not the end of everything. Because there is no way for us to know the status of your particular account.
Honkai: Should I choose Luocha on Star Rail?
Rucha is by no means a “bad unit”, but he was a very strict powercreptol by other sustain units that offer more than him. Now, most Sustain offers additional buffs, so Luocha’s raw healing is relatively no longer sufficient.
In other words, it’s Lucha I’ll do it He does a lot of healing and plays very well with units that consume his HP. If you’re building Mydei, Castorice, and/or Blade, you might want to pick up Luocha.
Gallagher is a cheap unit that also offers healing (and buffs), but Lucha can automatically heal outside of turns, making it a valuable choice for HP-consuming DPS.
How about Idron? If you’re considering picking up a Luocha E1… well. that I’ll do it It offers 20% offensive buffs when his healing field is active, but this kind of equals him with other existing sustain units. His Aidron isn’t like that bad Either way, however, like the rest of Lucha, they’re a bit overwhelming as they’ve been powercrepted by new units.
Honkai: Should I choose Ruan Mei on Star Rail?
Ruan Mei was broken when she was released, but in terms of buffers she is still pretty close to the top of the food chain. She’s a pretty safe pick so that almost every DP can use the buff. She buffs damage, hones debilitating break efficiency, extends the enemy’s debilitating break period, and becomes an asset to any team.
In a world where two unique teams are needed to complete endgame content, Ruan Mei can probably slot on any of these teams and make her a mandatory duty if you don’t have her yet. An exception to this is if you own other support or buffers. If you don’t have Ruan Mei yet and don’t have new support like Tribbie, Robin, Sunday, Fugue, etc., you should choose her.
How about Idron? If you already have Ruan Mei and are pondering whether you should grab her E1, the good news is Her E1 is very strongBecause when her ultimate field is up, ignores 20% of enemy defense. Again, if you already have Tribubee or other beef up support, you may not need this buff.
Do you just hold on the Golden Companion Spirit for future units?
This is the third option! If you already have both Luocha and Ruan Mei, or if you may just not be seduced by them, you can always hold on to the Golden Companion Spirit and spend later on another 5-star character. you I did it Spending on one of the original standard banner characters (Himeko, Clara, Brona, Gepard, Yanker, Bail, or Welt) is not really recommended to do so unless you really love those characters.

Hoyoverse has confirmed that more 5 stars can be replaced later, so you may be waiting quite a bit before that happens, but this is a viable option.
