HEAL SUPPORT Build

Weapons

1
Favonius Lance
Favonius Lance

Energy Recharge

Crit-triggered particles fix the whole squad's energy problems, not just her own. Land Skill then two Normal Attacks to fish for a crit and kick the passive in.

2
Dialogues of the Desert Sages
Dialogues of the Desert Sages

HP%

HP substat raises healing directly, and the on-heal buff hands the healed ally a small ATK bump. Solid fallback when another polearm user already holds Favonius.

3
Black Tassel
Black Tassel

HP%

Three-star HP stat stick: cheap, easy to refine, and it scales the heal without spending weapon banner pulls. No team utility, so replace it once Favonius shows up.

4
Rightful Reward
Rightful Reward

HP%

HP substat scales healing, and the passive refunds Energy once she receives a heal — helps the Burst come back online in longer fights.

5
Moonpiercer
Moonpiercer

Elemental Mastery

Elemental Mastery substat feeds Bloom and Aggravate damage, and the Leaf of Consciousness dropped by reactions grants the wielder ATK. Best in reaction-heavy teams.

6
Kitain Cross Spear
Kitain Cross Spear

Elemental Mastery

Craftable Elemental Mastery option whose passive restores Energy after the Skill lands, smoothing Burst uptime without relying on crits.

Artifacts

4pc shreds Dendro RES on Skill hits, so one healer slot also lifts every Bloom and Spread number on the team. Default choice if nobody else wears it.

2pc HP scales the heal, while 4pc grants the party ATK and shield strength whenever the Skill connects — free buffs from an off-field support.

4pc hands the whole party 120 Elemental Mastery after a reaction. Cheap to farm from the overworld and a genuine damage gain in Hyperbloom or Burgeon teams.

2pc Healing Bonus plus a 4pc that converts overhealing into Sea-Dyed Foam damage. Turns excess healing into real damage when the team is never in danger.

Straight Healing Bonus on 2pc, with 4pc extending the heal to the rest of the party. Take it when surviving hits matters more than adding team damage.

Two-piece Healing Bonus filler to pair with an HP or Energy Recharge 2pc. Fastest way to lift healing output from spare pieces.

4pc amplifies Bloom, Hyperbloom and Burgeon damage, letting the healer double as a reaction enabler. 2pc gives a flat Elemental Mastery boost.

4pc grants Elemental Mastery and ATK based on team composition, which peaks in Dendro lineups where she is also the reaction trigger.

Flat Elemental Mastery 2pc. Pair it with another EM set or Deepwood Memories when the goal is reaction damage rather than raw healing.

Healing Bonus

The extra Yueguis from Yaoyao's Burst vanish when she leaves the field.
With Favonius Lance, use Skill then two Normal Attacks to trigger its passive.

Yaoyao (support): heals and applies Dendro through Skill and Burst. Her Skill alone is too sparse to solo-sustain Bloom/Hyperbloom/Burgeon.

Weapons
Favonius Lance — generalist pick: Energy Recharge plus a particle-generating passive.
Rightful Reward — loses value if you never cast Burst.
Kitain Cross Spear — outvalues Favonius Lance when she owns many Bloom cores.

Artifacts
Deepwood Memories (4) — default when nobody else shreds Dendro RES.
Tenacity of the Millelith (4) — for teams that skip RES shred, e.g. Yaoyao + Anemo + two Electro Aggravate carries.
Instructor (4) — same niche, or when another unit holds Deepwood; she must trigger a reaction on-field and 4★ caps stat ceiling.
Ocean-Hued Clam (4) — on-field Yaoyao when no supportive set is needed.
Flower of Paradise Lost (4)/Gilded Dreams (4)/EM 2pc mixes — Nilou Bloom with heavy Bloom ownership and Elemental Mastery stacking; Ocean-Hued Clam (4) still competes if she's on-field.

Stats
Heavy Bloom ownership: Elemental Mastery on Goblet and Circlet, EM Sands unless Energy Recharge is required; EM substats gain value.
