HEAL SUPPORT Build

Weapons

1
Prototype Amber
Prototype Amber

HP%

Refunds energy per Burst and restores HP to the whole team. Reduces the Energy Recharge requirement, letting you stack more ATK%.

2
Favonius Codex
Favonius Codex

Energy Recharge

Crits generate energy particles for the entire party, smoothing rotation. Needs CRIT Rate to proc, but the ER substat already helps burst uptime.

3
Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers
Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers

HP%

Switching to another character grants a large ATK buff. Purely a support tool—no healing stats, so pair with a healer-focused artifact set.

4
Oathsworn Eye
Oathsworn EyeR5

ATK%

Using Skill boosts Energy Recharge for 10s, making the Burst more available. A strong free-to-play catalyst for spamming heals.

5
Wine and Song
Wine and Song

Energy Recharge

When healed, this catalyst raises ATK%, which feeds back into stronger healing. A niche but self-sustaining loop for a healing support.

Artifacts

4pc gives the whole team a 20% ATK buff after Burst. Turns every healing rotation into a damage window for the DPS.

If Skill lands on enemies consistently, the 4pc ATK buff can stay up. More situational because it requires frequent hits.

4pc converts overflow healing into Physical damage bubbles. Lets a healer chip in damage without building offensive stats.

Provides <element cryo>Cryo</element> DMG bonus and energy when reactions trigger. Great for boosting <element cryo>Cryo</element> carries in reaction-heavy comps.

2pc healing bonus plus 4pc that turns heals into a team ATK buff. Excellent with continuous healing ticks for sustained output.

2pc Energy Recharge and 4pc Burst DMG scaling with ER. A balanced pick for energy-hungry supports who also want burst damage.

4pc increases healing received by the whole party after Skill or Burst. Great for heavy sustain, though it does not boost the healer's own ATK.

2pc <element cryo>Cryo</element> DMG and 4pc CRIT Rate on Freeze comps. Only choose this if you want hybrid damage while maintaining healing.

When Charlotte's Hold Skill is used while the Special Analysis Zoom Lens gadget is toggled on, it triggers Photo Mode instead. Disable this gadget from the Inventory to use her Hold Skill normally in combat.

Charlotte provides healing and minor off-field Cryo damage. Her healing scales with ATK%, but personal damage is low. Support artifacts and weapons are recommended.
Weapon Choices:
Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers: High Energy Recharge needs may make this unsuitable in some teams.
Wine and Song: Sprint before Elemental Burst to gain extra ATK%.
Favonius Codex: Build some CRIT Rate in substats for consistent procs.
Artifact Choices:
Blizzard Strayer: More consistent Favonius Codex triggers; also slightly boosts damage, valuable at higher Constellations.
Substats:
CRIT Rate is more useful than CRIT DMG only when using Favonius Codex.

Charlotte's outfit. "If your reporting isn't real enough, it's because you're not close enough." Charlotte often has this to say about journalism. Sometimes, however, she adds: "But of course, maybe it's that the lens you're using just isn't that great."
