Natasha is a 4-Star Physical character following the Abundance path. Her healing scales primarily off her Max HP, making her easy to build without chasing offensive substats. She excels at keeping the team alive through sustained healing and a low-cost Ultimate that recharges faster than most healers in the game.

Natasha Team Compositions
| Healer | Main DPS | Support | Sub DPS |
Natasha | Clara | Bronya | Trailblazer(MC) |
Natasha | Danheng | Sunday | March 7th |
- Clara benefits from Natasha's sustained healing due to her high aggro. Dan Heng's passive (Wind RES Penetration) can be triggered by Natasha's heals.
- Strong team-wide buffers. Note: Bronya has her own cleanse, making Natasha's cleanse partially redundant on this team.
- Fire MC's shields and 15% damage reduction synergize well with Natasha's low-HP healing bonuses. March 7th also has a cleanse, so consider team overlaps.
Eidolons
HSR Natasha Eidolons
| Eidolon | Name | Effect |
| E1 | Pharmacology Expertise | After being attacked with HP at or below 30%, Natasha heals herself for 15% Max HP + 400. Triggers once per battle. |
| E2 | Clinical Research | After using her Ultimate, allies at or below 30% HP receive a 1-turn HoT: heals for 6% of Natasha's Max HP + 160 at the start of their turn. |
| E3 | The Right Cure | Skill Level +2 (max 15). Basic ATK Level +1 (max 10). |
| E4 | Miracle Cure | After being attacked, it regenerates 5 extra Energy. Most impactful Eidolon - significantly accelerates Ultimate uptime. |
| E5 | Preventive Treatment | Ultimate Level +2 (max 15). Talent Level +2 (max 15). |
| E6 | Doctor's Grace | Basic ATK additionally deals Physical DMG equal to 40% of Natasha's Max HP. |
How to Play Natasha
- Prioritize Ultimate uptime. With only 90 Energy required, Natasha's Ult recharges every 2–3 turns. Use it proactively after heavy AoE damage hits the team, not only in emergencies.
- Use her Skill for targeted healing and cleansing. When a key DPS is inflicted with a DoT, freeze, or imprisonment, Natasha's Skill removes it immediately via the Soothe trace - this alone can save an entire Forgotten Hall run.
- Spam Basic ATK when the team is healthy. Her Basic ATK generates Skill Points for the whole party. Since her ultimate cost is low, she can afford to use Basic ATKs often, supporting SP-hungry DPS characters.
- Pair with Fire Trailblazer for maximum Talent value. Fire MC's shields keep allies alive in lower HP ranges, which consistently triggers Natasha's Innervation talent (+25% Outgoing Healing at ≤30% HP).
- Avoid running her alongside teams that already have a cleanse. On Bronya or March 7th teams, her main utility (cleanse) becomes redundant. In those cases, consider Bailu for better raw healing output.
- Build SPD above 135. Higher SPD means more turns, more Energy generation, more Skill Points, and faster Ultimate cycling. Fleet of the Ageless and Giant Tree both activate at 120 SPD, so hitting 135 is a comfortable breakpoint.
- Don't neglect Effect RES substats if using Broken Keel. The party damage buff from Broken Keel only activates when Natasha's Effect RES reaches 30%, so plan your substat farming around it.
Conclusion
Natasha proves that free-to-play doesn't mean falling behind. With the current best-in-slot setup - Warrior Goddess of Sun and Thunder relics, Giant Tree of Rapt Brooding ornaments, and Night of Fright as her light cone - she can serve as a fully competent healer in all end-game content. Her cleanse, low Ult cost, and synergy with several top-tier DPS characters make her a unit worth building regardless of where you are in the game. If you want to unlock premium light cones, pull for stronger supports, or gear up faster, LootBar offers a convenient and affordable way to handle your HSR top up - helping you invest in the characters that matter most.
