HEAL & SHIELD SUPPORT Build

Weapons

Favonius Warbow

Energy Recharge

High Energy Recharge plus CRIT-triggered particles — the cheapest way to fund the Burst every rotation.

Sacrificial BowR3+

Energy Recharge

A second Skill cast per rotation gives a fresh shield sooner and roughly doubles Cryo particle output.

Sacrificial Bow

Energy Recharge

A second Skill cast per rotation gives a fresh shield sooner and roughly doubles Cryo particle output.

Elegy for the End

Energy Recharge

After Skill + Burst it grants the team Elemental Mastery and ATK; pick it once Energy Recharge needs are already covered.

Silvershower Heartstrings

HP%

HP% substat thickens the shield, and the passive adds Cryo DMG and CRIT DMG for quickswap damage.

Recurve Bow

HP%

Budget stat stick: HP% substat plus a heal-on-hit passive that keeps early-game runs comfortable.

Sequence of SolitudeR5

HP%

Bundles HP% and Energy Recharge; its HP-scaling passive further boosts Burst regeneration.

Artifacts

Noblesse Oblige

ATK +20% for the party after Burst. The default pick whenever no other teammate already carries it.

Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City

Triggering a Cryo reaction hands the whole team +12% Elemental DMG for 15s, best when a second element is on field.

Choose 2

HP +20% set

Emblem of Severed Fate

Healing Bonus

Two HP% 2-piece bonuses (for example Tenacity of the Millelith plus Vourukasha) give 40% HP — the shield scales purely off Max HP.

Maiden Beloved

20% Healing Bonus on 2-piece, and the 4-piece stacks another 20% party heal boost after using Skill or Burst.

Ocean-Hued Clam

Overhealing converts into a Sea-Dyed Foam bubble that bursts for physical damage, turning wasted healing into real output.

Instructor

120 Elemental Mastery to the team after a reaction — only worth it in Melt or Freeze-adjacent comps.

Tenacity of the Millelith

HP% 2-piece, plus a party ATK +20% buff when the Skill connects — stacks with a Noblesse holder on another unit.

HP%Healing Bonus

Diona's Skill creates an Cryo shield that cleanses. Swapping characters while the shield holds reapplies Cryo to the new active character, stripping elemental debuffs on each swap.

SUPPORT
Fills three roles: shielding, healing, and Cryo particle generation. Pairing with Cryo carries like Ayaka, Ganyu, or Eula funnels energy into them while the shield holds.

Weapons
Sacrificial Bow: preferred over Favonius Warbow at high refinements when batterying another Cryo unit.
Favonius Warbow: roll CRIT Rate substats to reliably proc the passive for energy.
Silvershower Heartstrings, Recurve Bow, Sequence of Solitude: strongest shields, but weaker Energy Recharge and passives make them suboptimal.

Artifacts
Noblesse Oblige (4): teamwide ATK% plus Burst damage; uptime is imperfect, yet she may be the best holder.
Instructor (4): niche for Elemental Mastery-hungry teams where she triggers a reaction on-field; the 4-star cap lowers stat ceiling.
Tenacity of the Millelith (4): niche for Ganyu freeze variants with short rotations, where Burst skips a cycle and the ATK% snapshots onto Ganyu's burst.

Main Stats: full HP% for bigger shields, weaker healing; a Healing Bonus circlet balances the two.

Talents: level whichever talent matches her role; if hybrid, raise both evenly.
