Gallagher
Who is Gallagher?
Gallagher is a 4★ Fire healer following the Abundance Path. He is the best 4★ sustain unit in the game and the premier budget sustain for Super Break teams — SP-positive, strong healing, applies Weaken debuff via his Ultimate, and his Besotted state scales healing from Break Effect. Fully viable in endgame including Memory of Chaos alongside Firefly and Boothill. Source: prydwen.gg, hsr.keqingmains.com.

Build Guide
🔮 Best Relic / Echo Set
4pc Thief of Shooting Meteor (Break Effect + Energy regen on Break) + Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern (planar, Fire DMG + Break Effect) or Broken Keel (team CRIT DMG)
⚔ Best Light Cone / Weapon
Multiplication (4★, SP generation and healing) or Quid Pro Quo (4★, Energy for allies) — both obtainable from standard pool. Post-Op Conversation (4★ Abundance) is also solid.
📊 Substats Priority
👥 Best Teams
Firefly + Harmony Trailblazer + Ruan Mei + Gallagher (premier F2P Super Break team).
Also strong with Boothill, Himeko, or any Break DPS as the sustain slot.
F2P Verdict
Standard pool — free and highly accessible. E1 notably improves his Besotted uptime; E4+ further boosts his Break healing synergy. Even E0 is endgame-viable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Gallagher better than 5★ healers?
He is the best healer in Super Break teams even compared to some 5★ options, because his Break Effect requirement uniquely synergizes with Super Break damage amplification. In other team types 5★ healers like Huohuo or Lingsha offer more.
What Break Effect does Gallagher need?
150% Break Effect minimum in combat to maximize his Besotted healing bonus. Use a Break Effect Rope or Energy Regen Rope depending on your Light Cone.
