Should You Pull for Huohuo?

Healer

Huohuo is a healer who doubles as a support. Her Ultimate regenerates Energy for all 3 teammates based on a percentage of their Max Energy and raises their ATK, so your damage dealers get their Ultimates out much more often. Her healing isn't huge and she can struggle against enemies that hit very hard, but she cleanses debuffs constantly, and since she sits in the 5-star shop she is easy to get and well worth building.

She suits you best if your damage dealers scale off ATK and use Energy for their Ultimates, especially characters with a big Energy pool like Aglaea, Saber, Yunli, Argenti or Yao Guang. If you don't have a healer yet, get Huohuo early.

Memory of Chaos Outstanding The Energy and ATK from her Ultimate let your damage dealers cycle their Ultimates faster, so you clear faster.
Pure Fiction Outstanding Passive healing plus constant debuff cleansing, all without spending Skill Points.
Apocalyptic Shadow Very strong A great fit for damage dealers who pour their damage into expensive Ultimates, because her Energy is percentage-based.
Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Raises every ally's Max Energy percentage with her Ultimate
  • A significant ATK buff for the whole team
  • Cleanses debuffs very frequently
  • Good passive healing without spending Skill Points
  • Eidolon 1 is excellent, adding percentage SPD for the whole team
  • Available in the 5-star shop, so she is fairly easy to obtain
  • A long shelf life because her kit feeds Energy-hungry characters

Cons

  • Her healing can fall short against high damage enemies
  • She heals harder at low HP but cannot stop one-shot mechanics
  • Nearly useless for characters who do not scale off ATK or for allies with their own Energy mechanics
  • Emergency healing eats into the team's Skill Point pool
  • Relies on fast allies and on attack Energy to keep her Ultimate coming steadily

Best Huohuo Build Guide

Best Huohuo Build

Huohuo's healing scales off her Max HP, and her support value comes from her Ultimate. So just stack HP, SPD and Energy Regeneration Rate and you're set.

Best Light Cones

  • 1 Night of Fright Night of Fright Best
    Her signature Light Cone. The Energy Regeneration Rate makes her 140-Energy Ultimate easier to charge, and it adds extra healing plus an ATK buff for allies. That said, it isn't far ahead of the easy-to-get 4-stars, and in teams that don't use ATK (like most Elation teams) the ATK buff is close to wasted.
  • 2 Post-Op Conversation Post-Op Conversation Great
    A very good 4-star. It gives Energy Regeneration Rate (16% at S5) and boosts her Outgoing Healing when she uses her Ultimate.
  • 3 Time Waits for No One Time Waits for No One Great
    Raises her HP and Outgoing Healing, so every heal is bigger. On top of that, when allies attack, Huohuo deals extra DMG to a random enemy.
  • 4 Shared Feeling Shared Feeling Good
    Raises her Outgoing Healing and regenerates Energy for the whole team when Huohuo uses her Skill. Best in teams with spare Skill Points.
  • 5 Quid Pro Quo Quid Pro Quo Stopgap
    Helps with a team's Energy problems, but it relies on luck. Keep in mind that allies who use a special kind of Energy for their Ultimates can steal the trigger.

Best Relics

1
One of her two best sets, pick this or Messenger based on your team. Huohuo gets 12% SPD and the whole team gets 15% CRIT DMG, so it shines in CRIT-based teams.
2
Her other top set. It gives Huohuo SPD, and every time she uses her Ultimate the whole team gets 12% SPD for 1 turn. Good with SPD-scaling characters like Yao Guang or Silver Wolf LV.999. Use the Ultimate during your key ally's turn and the buff lasts 2 turns (except for Silver Wolf LV.999).
3
For teams that need a lot of Skill Points right at the start of the fight. In well-built teams the 4-piece effect is usually worth less.

Best Planar Ornaments

1
All three Planar Ornaments here are top picks, so choose based on your team. This one gives HP so Huohuo heals more, plus 8% ATK for the whole team. It's the one to use in DoT teams.
2
The whole team gets 10% CRIT DMG if Huohuo has at least 30% Effect RES. Works in any team except DoT teams.
3
Raises the ATK of the character in the first slot of your lineup, so it fits when that slot is an ATK-scaling damage dealer. Huohuo also gets extra Energy Regeneration Rate. Note that most Elation damage dealers can't make use of the ATK.

Main Stats

  • BodyOutgoing Healing Boost or HP%
  • FeetSPD
  • Planar SphereHP%
  • Link RopeEnergy Regeneration Rate

Substats

  • 1SPD (to a breakpoint)
  • 2HP%
  • 3Effect RES
  • 4DEF%

Outgoing Healing Boost on the Body first, with HP% as the backup. SPD on the Feet so Huohuo acts more often. HP% on the Planar Sphere because her healing scales off HP. Energy Regeneration Rate on the Link Rope because her Ultimate costs 140 Energy, and the sooner it comes out, the more Energy and ATK your allies get.

SPD and HP% mean more healing and more Ultimates for Huohuo, so collect these two first. Effect RES and DEF% are only extras and aren't required even in the hardest content.

Stat Targets

  • HP5600 to 6400 or more
  • DEF800 to 900 or more
  • SPD134, 143 (recommended) or 160
  • Energy Regeneration Rate119.44% or more

Skill Priority

Ultimate > Skill = Talent > Basic ATK

Her Ultimate sets how much Energy your allies get back and how big the ATK buff is, so level it first. Her Skill raises her active healing and her Talent raises her off-turn healing. Leave Basic ATK for last, since Huohuo isn't there to deal damage.

Trace Priority

Fearful to Act > Stress Reaction to Horror > The Cursed One

Fearful to Act gives Huohuo 30 Energy and Divine Provision as soon as the battle starts, which helps her get her Ultimate out early. Stress Reaction to Horror regenerates 1 Energy for her every time her Talent heals allies. The Cursed One gives allies with 160 or more Max Energy an extra 24% ATK when she uses her Ultimate. Unlock the other two early as well.

Eidolon Priority

E1 is the first one to aim for

E1 extends Divine Provision by 1 turn, and while Huohuo has Divine Provision all allies get 12% SPD. E2 means an ally struck by a killing blow is not knocked down and instead restores 50% of their Max HP while Huohuo has Divine Provision, up to 2 times per battle. E4 heals more the lower the target's HP, up to an 80% increase. E6 gives healed allies 50% more DMG for 2 turns, another very good one.

Best Huohuo Teams

Sparxie and Yao Guang Team

Huohuo handles healing and debuff cleansing for the whole team. Yao Guang has an expensive but very strong Ultimate, so the percentage-based Energy from Huohuo gets it out much sooner. A similar team that is also common swaps Sparkle for Silver Wolf LV.999.

Saber Team

Saber has a big Energy pool and needs Energy to land her strongest hits, so Huohuo's percentage-based Energy is worth a lot here. Huohuo also raises ATK and keeps the whole team alive. Saber, Gilgamesh, Robin • Summeretto and Huohuo is another common lineup.

Kafka DoT Team

Replace Hysilens with: Black Swan, Sampo, Luka, Guinaifen Replace Ruan Mei with: Tingyun, Asta

Most DoT characters scale off ATK, so Huohuo's Ultimate both raises their ATK and gives them Energy to use their Ultimates sooner. Sampo fits against many enemies or Wind-weak enemies, Luka against Physical-weak enemies and Guinaifen against Fire-weak enemies. In harder content where you need more survivability, you can swap Ruan Mei for Gepard or Fu Xuan.

Budget Team (All 4-Stars)

Apart from Huohuo, this team only uses 4-star characters and the Trailblazer. Huohuo raises ATK and regenerates Energy so her teammates can use their Ultimates more often. Depending on the fight, her healing may not be enough to keep everyone alive, so having Trailblazer (Preservation) shield the team and Taunt enemies makes things much safer.

Best Teammates for Huohuo

Aglaea
Aglaea

A big Energy pool and a need for Energy to land her biggest hits means she gains a lot from Huohuo's Ultimate. Aglaea also scales with SPD, so Huohuo's E1 is very useful for her.

Saber
Saber

She has a big Energy pool and needs Energy for her biggest hits, so Huohuo's percentage-based Energy gets those hits out sooner. Huohuo also raises her ATK and cleanses debuffs reliably.

Yunli
Yunli

Another character with a big Energy pool who relies on Energy for her strongest hits, which makes her a great match for Huohuo.

Argenti
Argenti

Same story as Saber and Yunli: a big Energy pool and a need for Energy to land his biggest hits. Huohuo also raises ATK, cleanses debuffs and heals the whole team.

Yao Guang
Yao Guang

Her Ultimate is expensive but very strong, and Huohuo's percentage-based Energy gets it up faster. Yao Guang also scales with SPD, so she benefits when Huohuo wears Messenger Traversing Hackerspace.

Trailblazer (Elation)
Trailblazer (Elation)

The Trailblazer's Ultimate costs a lot of Energy but has a big impact, so the Energy from Huohuo is very valuable.

Silver Wolf LV.999
Silver Wolf LV.999

Often runs alongside Huohuo, Sparxie and Yao Guang. She scales with SPD, so she benefits when Huohuo wears Messenger Traversing Hackerspace.

Kafka
Kafka

Most of Kafka's DoT team scales off ATK, so Huohuo's ATK buff and Energy really pay off.

Tingyun
Tingyun

Both of them regenerate Energy and buff ATK, so they work very well together, and Tingyun can take the support slot in DoT teams.

How to Play Huohuo

Her Ultimate Is the Main Reason to Bring Her

Her Ultimate, Tail: Spiritual Domination, regenerates Energy for every teammate except Huohuo, based on a percentage of each ally's own Max Energy, and raises their ATK for 2 turns. Because it's percentage-based, the more Energy an ally's Ultimate costs, the more they get out of it. With the Trace The Cursed One, allies with 160 or more Max Energy get an extra 24% ATK on top. Huohuo herself doesn't receive this buff.

The Ultimate costs 140 Energy, which is fairly high, so to use it regularly Huohuo needs to use her Skill often or pick up Energy from getting hit by enemies.

Divine Provision Handles Off-Turn Healing

After using her Skill or her Ultimate, Huohuo gains Divine Provision. While she has it, every time an ally starts their turn or uses their Ultimate, that ally and the ally with the lowest HP percentage are healed, and then every ally at or below 50% HP gets healed too. Each of these heals also dispels 1 debuff. This can trigger 6 times, and gaining Divine Provision again resets the count. With the Trace Stress Reaction to Horror, Huohuo regenerates 1 Energy every time her Talent heals allies.

Keep in mind that targeting goes by HP percentage, so a high-HP ally whose percentage has dropped can be picked ahead of a low-HP ally who is actually in danger.

Use Her Skill on the Middle Ally

Her Skill, Talisman: Protection, dispels 1 debuff from one ally and heals them, while also healing the allies next to them. Aim it at someone in the middle of your lineup to heal as many people as possible. When the team's HP gets dangerously low, just use the Skill to heal directly and don't worry about the Skill Points, because nobody deals damage once they're dead.

Use Her Technique Before Battle

Her Technique, Fiend: Impeachment of Evil, inflicts Horror-Struck on nearby enemies, making them flee from Huohuo for 10 seconds. Enter battle with Horror-Struck enemies and every enemy's ATK is reduced by 25% for 2 turns.

Quick Tips

  • If you use Broken Keel, keep Huohuo's Effect RES at 30% or more (her minor Traces already give 18%).
  • In Kafka's DoT team, use Fleet of the Ageless instead of Broken Keel.
  • Only use Shared Feeling when your team has spare Skill Points.
  • To rely less on the healing below 50% HP, keep your allies acting often so Divine Provision heals more steadily.
  • Huohuo's Basic ATK barely needs leveling, so save your materials for her Ultimate, Skill and Talent.

Huohuo FAQ

Is Huohuo worth getting?
Yes. She heals and supports at the same time, and percentage-based Energy is very rare. She's also in the 5-star shop, so she's easy to get, and if you don't have a healer yet you should pick her up early.
Can Huohuo protect against one-shots?
Not at E0, and that's her biggest weakness against enemies that hit very hard. From E2, while Huohuo has Divine Provision, an ally struck by a killing blow is not knocked down and instead restores 50% of their Max HP right away, up to 2 times per battle.
What Light Cone should Huohuo use without Night of Fright?
Post-Op Conversation is a very good 4-star pick thanks to its Energy Regeneration Rate. Time Waits for No One or Shared Feeling also work well. Her signature isn't far ahead of 4-stars like Post-Op Conversation or Shared Feeling anyway.
Which Eidolon should I stop at?
E1 is the first one to aim for: Divine Provision lasts 1 turn longer and the whole team gets 12% SPD while Huohuo has Divine Provision. E6 is also very good, giving healed allies 50% more DMG.
Does Huohuo work in Elation teams?
Yes. Trailblazer (Elation) and Yao Guang both have expensive Ultimates, so they gain a lot from Huohuo. However, most Elation teams barely benefit from ATK buffs, so her ATK buff does little there.
