Genshin's Healing MVPs: My Top 10 Band-Aid Brigadiers

Honestly, trying to survive Teyvat without a proper healer is like attending a Hilichurl potluck dinner – messy, painful, and you’ll definitely regret it later. As a day-one Traveler who’s face-planted into more Abyss floors than I care to admit, let me tell ya: a good healer isn’t just a safety net; they’re the duct tape holding your entire chaotic party together. Especially now in version 5.7, where enemies hit like a Ruin Guard doing parkour. Some patch us up, some shield us, others just stare menacingly while radishes do the work. Wild stuff.

Let’s dive into my personal hall of healing fame, counting down these lifesavers who’ve pulled my bacon out of the fire more times than Paimon’s eaten Sweet Madames:

10. Barbara - The OG Hydro Mom

• Weapon: Catalyst

• Vision: Hydro

• Healing Style: Singing you back to health (literally). Her Elemental Skill Let The Show Begin creates a regenerative ring around your active character. If it’s Barbara herself, her Normal/Charged Attacks become HP smoothies.

• Why I Stan: Straightforward, no constellation headaches. Max HP = Bigger heals. Her Burst Shining Miracle? A full-party reset button. Plus, C6 lets her revive fallen comrades. Drama queen saves the day!

9. Sayu - The Sleepy Ninja Medic

• Weapon: Claymore (hilariously oversized for her)

• Vision: Anemo

• Healing Style: Rolling into action! Her Burst Yoohoo Art: Mujina Flurry summons a fuzzy Daruma that heals allies and smacks enemies. ATK scaling means building her is pure chaos.

• Secret Sauce: Unlock her first passive at Lv.20? Swirl reactions heal the whole party for 300 HP + EM bonus. Perfect for exploration teams where you’re constantly setting grass on fire accidentally.

8. Diona - The Shielding Bartender

• Weapon: Bow

• Vision: Cryo

• Healing Style: Icy cocktails! Her Burst Signature Mix creates a field that heals allies and Cryo-blasts foes. Healing scales with HP? Nope. It’s fixed per tick, so stack Energy Recharge for constant refills.

• Why She’s Cool: Her Elemental Skill shield is THICC. Sometimes you don’t even need healing because nothing gets through her frosty barrier. Catgirl efficiency.

7. Qiqi - The Zombie Child Surgeon

• Weapon: Sword

• Vision: Cryo

• Healing Style: ATK-powered freezer burn. Both her Skill Adeptus Art: Herald of Frost and Burst heal based on her Attack stat. Slap a Sacrificial Sword on her and go nuts.

• Downside: Cooldowns feel longer than waiting for resin to recharge. But C6? She revives your whole squad to 50% HP. Worth the 50/50 losses? Debatable.

6. Dori - The Merchant of Morax’s Mercy

• Weapon: Claymore

• Vision: Electro

• Healing Style: Capitalism! Her Burst Alcazarzaray's Exactitude summons a Jinni that tethers to your active character, healing based on Dori’s HP while zapping enemies and regenerating Energy.

• Vibe Check: Perfect for high-cost Burst teams. She’ll heal your wallet… er, HP, for the right price (Energy particles).

5. Yaoyao - The Radish Rainmaker

• Weapon: Polearm

• Vision: Dendro

• Healing Style: Aggressive gardening. Her Skill Raphanus Sky Cluster chucks radishes that either attack enemies or heal allies (<70% HP). Burst Moonjade Descent? Party-wide healing + Dendro application.

• Why She’s Rad: First Dendro healer! Makes Bloom teams less suicidal. Her bunny Yuegui is MVP.

4. Mika - The Physical Therapy Specialist

• Weapon: Polearm

• Vision: Cryo

• Healing Style: Eagleplume hype man. His Burst Skyfeather Song heals party-wide based on his Max HP, then puts active character in Eagleplume state, healing them further via Normal Attacks.

• Constellation Power: C1 shortens heal intervals. C4 generates Energy particles per heal. Eula’s best friend.

3. Baizhu - The Pharmacy Kingpin

• Weapon: Catalyst

• Vision: Dendro

• Healing Style: Gossamer Sprite delivery service. His Skill sends out a sprite that attacks 3 times or until enemies vanish, then returns to heal nearby allies based on Baizhu’s Max HP.

• Lore Accurate: Runs Bubu Pharmacy. His heals feel like premium herbal tea. Build HP, ignore ATK.

2. Noelle - The Maid with a Claymore

• Weapon: Claymore

• Vision: Geo

• Healing Style: Knightly multitasking. Her Skill Breastplate grants a shield AND makes her Normal/Charged Attacks heal the entire party based on her DEF.

• Newbie Savior: Free character! DEF stacking makes her unkillable while healing. Geo supremacy at its finest.

1. Gorou - The Goodest Healing Boy

• Weapon: Bow

• Vision: Geo

• Healing Style: Constellation-locked miracle. Need his C4 Lapping Hound: Warm as Water to unlock it. Then, during his Burst Juuga: Forward Unto Victory, he heals active characters inside his AoE by 50% of his DEF.

• Puppy Power: Defense scaling means building him turns your healer into a tank. Geo teams ascend to godhood. Worth the pulls? Absolutely.

So yeah, healers ain’t just back-row benchwarmers anymore. They’re radish-chuckers, shield-maidens, and even zombie surgeons. With Natlan supposedly dropping soon, who’s next? A pyro healer who sets you on fire for regeneration? A cryo one who freezes your HP bar solid? Teyvat’s full of surprises, and my food bag’s always ready for the next patch chaos. What’s your most unexpected near-death save?
