APPLe
Who is APPLe?
APPLe is a free 4-star Star-afflatus healer obtainable at the very start of the game. His kit revolves around passive, low-intensity healing that fires automatically on each attack and at the start of every turn rather than burst recovery. He is handed to players as an early-game safety net — importantly, the game refunds all materials spent upgrading him to Insight I, making him risk-free to build. His damage output is modest and he cannot handle heavy burst pressure, but he keeps the team topped up effortlessly through the early chapters.
Kit Summary
Single-target Reality DMG; heals the ally with the lowest HP percentage for an amount that scales with APPLe's ATK.
Mass Reality DMG attack that also heals the ally at the lowest HP percentage — mirrors Skill 1 but on all enemies at once.
Applies a small heal to all allies at the start of every round, providing low but consistent sustain throughout the fight.
Build Guide
🔮 Best Relic / Echo Set
Resonance: ATK% is the top priority since all of APPLe's healing scales off his ATK stat. Laughter and Laughter is the best free psychube — simple to build and gives a stacking buff at no resource cost.
⚔ Best Light Cone / Weapon
Her Second Life (BiS, prydwen): Converts his Ultimate's single-target heal into AoE and adds ATK% that amplifies all of his healing. Best long-term investment if available. Laughter and Laughter (free budget): Completely free, fast to build, stacks up a useful DMG/healing bonus over time — the default choice for new players.
📊 Substats Priority
👥 Best Teams
Early-game sustain slot: APPLe + any 4-star carry + any support — fills the healer role in the first few chapters of the main story. Replace when a premium 5★ or 6★ healer becomes available.
F2P Verdict
APPLe is given freely to all players early in the story. Insight I upgrade materials are fully refunded by the game, so there is zero long-term cost to building him. He is not on any gacha banner.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I build APPLe?
Yes, at least to Insight I — the game refunds those materials. He is your free early-game healer and will carry you through the first chapters safely.
Does APPLe's healing scale with anything?
Yes — all of his healing scales with his ATK stat, so stack as much ATK as your psychubes and resonance allow for maximum output.
When should I replace APPLe?
Once you have a 5★ or 6★ healer at a comfortable insight level, APPLe falls off. His healing ceiling is too low for late-game content where burst damage can one-shot characters.
