Top 10 Best Healers In Genshin Impact 2023, Ranked

Having a healer is probably the easiest way to keep your squad on the field at any time, without having to retreat from combat. In this Genshin Impact healer tier list, Gurugamer is going to showcase a Genshin Impact best healer tier list to see which one is the most useful.

1. Bennett

The best character on Genshin healer tier list is probably the "honorary Pyro Archon" Bennett. Thanks to his fantastic Elemental Burst, Bennett is considered one of the best healers in the game. If the health of a character within the AoE is equal to or falls below 70%, their health will continuously regenerate. The amount of HP restored scales off Bennett's Max HP.

As the skill is percentage-based, Bennett's heal is effective even if he doesn't carry any healing boost artifact.

2. Baizhu

Similar to Kokomi, Baizhu possesses consistent and potent healing abilities through both his elemental skill and elemental burst. This makes his healing incredibly reliable and robust. Additionally, Baizhu also offers sturdy shields to the team, enhancing the overall impact of his healing as the team is often either shielded or healed.

Despite the strength of his healing, Baizhu's Dendro application is not as remarkable. He doesn't stand out as a complete support character due to this limitation. Efficiently applying the Dendro element requires at least one more Dendro support character in the team composition. However, if your primary focus is on his healing capabilities, Baizhu proves to be one of the best characters you can have in your lineup.

3. Kokomi

At release, Kokomi was the target of ridicule due to her terribly low crit chance debuff. However, when it comes to healing, she is amongst the best.

Kokomi's Elemental Skill, the Jellyfish, can heal constantly while applying Hydro to enemies. Furthermore, the skill has amazing uptime, as its duration refreshes after Kokomi uses her Burst. Attacks during Kokomi's Burst also regenerate players' HP as well.

As her skills are all built around Max HP, Kokomi is super easy to gear. With the release of Dendro, Kokomi is now much more useful, especially in Bloom teams. Her heal can regenerate the self damage caused by dendro cores.

4. Jean

When it comes to party healing, Jean is pretty much the best in Genshin healer tier list. Her Elemental Burst, Dandelion Breeze, massively heals all members of the team on activation and negate status effects. Additionally, hits by Jean's Normal Attacks have a 50% chance to regenerate HP equal to 15% of Jean's ATK for all party members. This is a pretty big clutch allowing players to regenerate HP to full at any time.

5. Diona

Diona can do a lot of things, from healing to shielding/buffing to dealing additional Cryo damage. She can even cleanse detrimental elements under her Elemental Skill shield.

As her build revolves around having a lot of HP, building Diona is pretty easy and she can fit in most team comps.

6. Qiqi

Qiqi is a potent healer and can restore a lot of HP. She is the healer with the most healing output overall. Both Qiqi Skill and Burst provide healing, with the former giving her normal and charged attacks a healing effect as well.

However, the reason that Qiqi does not get used more is her lack of utility and energy regeneration. And Genshin Impact content is not that hard - players usually do not require Qiqi's amount of healing to sustain themselves.

7. Yaoyao

Yaoyao's skillset stands out in Genshin Impact healer tier list because it allows her to decide whether to heal or attack based on the team's actual need. This flexibility makes her highly valuable, as she doesn't heal unless necessary, focusing on contributing to damage instead.

She possesses the ability to heal through both her elemental skill and elemental burst, ensuring a consistent and reliable healing output. Additionally, she excels as a Dendro support unit, making her a great addition to various team setups.

8. Dori

Overall, Dori's biggest strength is that she is an ER support - players can use her alongside any DPS character who needs mid to high Energy Recharge. Her single target healing is decent, covering the same niche as Kuki Shinobu. Players should level up Dori's Burst and Skill while skipping her Attack talent.

Due to the nature of her Electro application, players can control when to apply electro to the enemy, which prevents reactions from ruining combos. Dori's weakness is her low particle generation and high Burst cost, however, it can be easily fixed by her A1 and A4 passives.

9. Barbara

Barbara is the most dedicated healer in the game, with both her Elemental Skill and Burst providing massive healing with not many downsides. Her constellations are fairly good as well, with C6 allowing her to fully revive a fallen party member.

However, Barbara can't do much outside of healing. She has next to no damage and her Hydro application is not that good. At least she has gained some extra usage after Dendro and the bloom reaction came out.

10. Sayu

Sayu's biggest strength is her consistent Anemo procs alongside a decent healing ability. With EM as her hidden stat, she can serve as a battery for quite a few characters. Furthermore, her kit's decent AoE can generate a lot of particles and energy. This makes Sayu much easier to play and gear compared to other supports.

Sayu's weakness is probably her 80 cost Burst and a rather clunky Elemental Skill. She can be interrupted or knocked out of rolling. Additionally, she also needs at least C1 to be an effective healer.

11. Kuki Shinobu

Kuki Shinobu scales off HP for both her damage and healing, which makes her easier to build. She also doesn't require field time to be effective.

Overall, Kuki Shinobu fits in pure Electro teams and taser teams, with her ability to continuously apply Electro while off-field. The advantage of using her over Fischl is that she requires no field time whatsoever, while Fischl has to use her Burst sometimes.

12. Noelle

While Noelle's protection ability is top tier (she has both shield and heal), players need constellation two for her to become an actual healer. Additionally, Noelle has to be on the field to heal teammates.

The best part about Noelle is that her entire skillset scales off DEF, including healing. This means players can just stack DEF without having to worry about healing bonus and energy recharge artifacts. While she doesn't heal as much as the other characters, having a shield on top makes her just as good.

13. Mika

Mika offers targeted healing for individual team members as well as a healing burst that extends to the entire team. In Genshin Impact best healer tier list, he excels at boosting physical damage, demonstrating reliability and versatility. However, compared to characters ranked higher on this list, his performance is surpassed.

14. Xingqiu

Xingqiu's healing capabilities might go unnoticed because he's primarily recognized as one of the top secondary damage dealer support characters. Despite this, he does possess some healing abilities. While Xingqiu is undeniably an exceptional character overall and would rank much higher based on his overall abilities, his standing as a healer is quite low. This is due to the relatively small and easily overlooked nature of his healing abilities, which don't contribute significantly to the team's healing needs.

Honorable mentions

Amongst all Genshin healer characters, there are two additional characters who can technically serve as healers if you unlock specific Constellations for them. Zhongli can only provide healing benefits at Constellation 6, a challenging milestone to achieve considering he is an exclusive five-star character. On the other hand, the four-star character Gorou can offer healing abilities at Constellation 4.

However, the healing enhancement Zhongli receives is relatively weak, especially when considering the effort required to reach Constellation 6. This is because Zhongli's shields are already exceptionally strong and durable, making the healing boost less impactful, especially given the high cost of obtaining C6 Zhongli. While having a dedicated healer on a team with him might not be necessary due to his abilities, if you do prefer having a healer in the team, it is a better choice to opt for a dedicated healer without any Constellations.
