Like many, when we first saw Honkai Star Rail's Luocha, we immediately asked, "Hold on, is that playable Otto?" Even though Luocha looks a lot like Otto from Honkai Impact, he is unquestionably a unique individual who is on a mission to cure everyone's afflictions. with a grave beside him? Yes, we haven't figured that one out either.
Honkai Star Rail includes a large number of playable characters, and Luocha is one of two new 5-star characters included in version 1.1. Luocha is a traveling merchant who transports a mysterious, enormous casket. Read below to find out more about this enigma and his possible connections to Otto Apocalypse from Honkai Impact 3rd.
What do Players Know About Luocha in Honkai Star Rail?
Players first meet Luocha during campaign events that take place in the Xianzhou Luofu. Dan Heng, Luocha, and Sushang are controlled by the players as they defend themselves against the now-enraged Mara-Struck. After eliminating all of the adversaries, it is discovered that Luocha is a traveling trader from "beyond the seas." He entered the Xianzhou Luofu to perform a favor for an unidentified person while carrying the body parts of the person who was buried inside the coffin.
In terms of gameplay, Luocha functions as a healer with the ability to debuff enemy troops. He is a one-time character and one of the top healers in Honkai Star Rail right now. Though his character story goal portrays him as a decent samaritan, Luocha may appear to be acting with a rather nefarious intent behind otherwise commonplace activities.
Do Luocha and Otto Apocalypse share any kind of Connection?
Despite their eerie similarity, Luocha and Otto are two very different people and have no connection to one another. Unlike Otto Apocalypse, who remained a significant antagonist in Honkai Impact 3rd until only recently, Luocha is shown as a good-hearted person with no hidden agendas. Otto and Luocha both experienced the loss of a loved one, and there are some similarities in their experiences.
Several hints regarding Luocha's intentions and objectives are also given in the character trailer, though most of them are left to conjecture. To begin with, Luocha is seen grieving over the deceased, who was someone close to him. He also says in the teaser that "the dead will return," suggesting that he has plans to bring the corpse out of the coffin to life.
