List of All Character Stats and Rank

Should You Pull for Huohuo?

Huohuo's overall healing is way above average since her Skill can heal multiple characters while also providing a bit of healing outside of her turn. More importantly, Huohuo can also provide Energy Regeneration and ATK buffs from her Ultimate.

After her Novaflare buffs in Version 4.2, Huohuo has improved sustain because her Divine Provision now lasts for an extra turn and it now also heals the lowest HP ally. She can also now increase the ATK of allies with high Energy Cost even further.

Huohuo's buffs may be minimal but it made her healing better. Now that she's in the Stellar Convergence shop, she's easier to get and even more worth to build.

Huohuo's best Relic set is the Messenger Traveling Hackerspace to further enhance the party with speed buffs. You can also choose to forgo the speed buff to increase her healing instead by going with a 2pc Passerby of Wandering Cloud for a mixed set.

Fleet of the Ageless is a great Ornament since it increases her HP for her healing while providing an ATK% buff. You can also go with Broken Keel instead if you want to focus on providing a stronger damage buff.

Huohuo Version 4.2 Buffs

Huohuo Buffs and Changes

Traces Changes
Talent Divine Provision will now heal the lowest HP ally along with the ally who triggered it. It will also reset its triggers when Huohuo gains Divine Provision again.
Skill Huohuo's Skill now has higher healing multipliers.
Bonus Ability - Fearful to Act Fearful to Act restores Energy for Huohuo at the start of the battle, which can allow her to use her Ultimate earlier. She'll also gain Divine Provision immediately at the start of the battle.
Bonus Ability - The Cursed One This now allows Huohuo to further buff the ATK of an ally if they have an Energy cost of 160 or more.

Divine Provision Additionally Heals Lowest HP Ally

Huohuo's Divine Provision now heals the lowest HP ally, in addition to the ally who triggered it. This helps Huohuo sustain the team, on top of her Skill's buffed healing multipliers.

Bonus Ability Boosts The ATK of High Energy Cost Allies

Huohuo's The Cursed One Bonus Ability now boosts the ATK of allies with 160 Energy Cost or more. This increases the damage they can deal even further and fits nicely with teams that Huohuo is in.

Huohuo's Best Teams

Huohuo F2P Team (Free to Play)

Healer DPS Support Tank
Star Rail - HuohuoHuohuo Star Rail - Dan HengDan Heng Star Rail - YukongYukong Star Rail - Trailblazer (Fire)Trailblazer (Fire)

This free-to-play team involves Huohuo being the healer in the party. She can increase the party's ATK and regenerate energy so that other units can use their Ultimates more frequently.

Huohuo's healing may not be enough to sustain the entire team depending on the fight, so having a Preservation unit like Trailblazer (Fire) will keep your entire party from dying.

Huohuo DoT Team

Healer DPS Sub-DPS Support
Star Rail - HuohuoHuohuo Star Rail - KafkaKafka Star Rail - HysilensHysilens Star Rail - Ruan MeiRuan Mei

Huohuo's Ultimate is great for DoT teams since most of their units scale on the ATK stat. Huohuo can restore energy to the party so they can use their Ultimates sooner.

Alternative Explanation
Star Rail - Black SwanBlack Swan Sub-DPS Replacement
Black Swan is another DoT unit that can be used to apply DoTs and use her Ultimate to increase the DMG taken by enemies.
Star Rail - SampoSampo Sub-DPS Replacement
Sampo can increase DoT DMG and is viable against multiple enemies or enemies weak to Wind.
Star Rail - LukaLuka Sub-DPS Replacement
Another replacement DoT character that can be added to the Kafka team if enemies are weak to Physical damage.
Star Rail - GuinaifenGuinaifen Sub-DPS Replacement
Another replacement DoT character that can be added to the Kafka team if enemies are weak to Fire damage.
Star Rail - TingyunTingyun Support Replacement

The best shielder in game and can keep the party alive in harder content.
Star Rail - Fu XuanFu Xuan Support Replacement
Fu Xuan can keep the party alive through Matrix of Prescience.

Huohuo's Best Light Cones

All Recommended Light Cones

Light Cone Why We Recommend It
Star Rail - Night of Fright Light Cone Night of Fright ★★★★★ - Best
Night of Fright is the best for Huohuo since it increases her Energy Regen, which allows her to get her high Energy cost Ultimate up easier. The extra healing and the stacking ATK buff is great for her allies as well.
Star Rail - Post-Op Conversation Light Cone Post-Op Conversation ★★★★☆ - Great
Post-Op Conversation is also a great Light Cone for Huohuo since it also increases her Energy Regen and also increases her Outgoing Healing when she uses her Ultimate.
Star Rail - Time Waits for No One Light Cone Time Waits for No One ★★★★☆ - Great
Time Waits for No One is a great Light Cone for Huohuo since it boosts her HP and Outgoing Healing, which increases the amount of her heals. It also allows her to deal DMG to a random enemy when an ally attacks.
Star Rail - Hey, Over Here Light Cone Hey, Over Here ★★★☆☆ - Good
Hey, Over Here is a good Light Cone for Huohuo since it increases her Max HP and increases her Outgoing Healing when she uses her Skill.
Star Rail - Shared Feeling Light Cone Shared Feeling ★★★☆☆ - Good
Shared Feeling is also a good option for Huohuo since it increases her Outgoing Healing and regenerates Energy for all allies when she uses her Skill.
Star Rail - Cornucopia Light Cone Cornucopia ★★★☆☆ - Good
Cornucopia is a good 3-Star Light Cone for Huohuo if you don't have other options since it increases her Outgoing Healing when she uses her Skill or Ultimate.

Light Cone List & Guide

Huohuo's Best Relics and Ornaments

All Recommended Relics and Ornaments

Relics Rating & Merits
Messenger Traversing Hackerspace Messenger Traversing Hackerspace x4 ★★★★★ - Best
Messenger Traversing Hackerspace is her best 4 pc. Relic Set for general use since it provides Huohuo with SPD while also allowing her to buff the party's SPD every time she uses her Ultimate.
Warrior Goddess of Sun and Thunder Warrior Goddess of Sun and Thunder x4 ★★★★☆ - 2nd Best
If Huohuo is being used in a CRIT-centric team, Warrior Goddess of Sun and Thunder can be her second best option thanks to the party-wide CRIT DMG it provides.
Passerby of Wandering Cloud Passerby of Wandering Cloud x4 ★★★☆☆ - 3rd Best
A full 4pc Wandering Cloud set can help teams that needs 3 or 4 SP for the start of the fight. However, you might find that the 4pc effect is less valuable for optimized team compositions.
Ornaments Merits
Fleet of the Ageless Fleet of the Ageless ★★★★★ - Best
Fleet of the Ageless is Huohuo's best Planar Ornament since the HP stat benefits her healing. It also provides a decent ATK% boost.
Broken Keel Broken Keel ★★★★☆ - 2nd Best
Huohuo's second-best Ornament. The CRIT DMG is a better buff compared to an ATK% buff, but is less useful when supporting DoT characters.
Lushaka, the Sunken Seas Lushaka, the Sunken Seas ★★★☆☆ - 3rd Best
Huohuo can use Lushaka to increase the ATK of the first character in the team lineup.

This ornament also provides a boost to Huohuo's Energy Regeneration, which lets her get her Ultimate faster if paired with an Energy Rope and her Lightcone or an S3 Post-Op.

Trace Scaling and Explanation
Skill Talisman: Protection: Dispels 1 debuff(s) from a single target ally and immediately restores this ally's HP by an amount equal to 16% of Huohuo's Max HP plus 160.

Huohuo Gameplay Guide

Skill Heals Multiple Allies

Huohuo's Skill, Talisman: Protection, allows Huohuo to heal a target ally and adjacent allies. It's ideal to heal the ally in the middle of the battlefield so that multiple party members will be healed!

Ultimate Restores Energy and Boosts ATK

Huohuo's Ultimate, Tail: Spiritual Domination, can regenerate Energy and provide an ATK buff to all other party members. When using Huohuo's Ultimate, she won't get the ATK buff or be able to regenerate Energy.

Talent Boosts Healing Effects

Huohuo's Talent, Possessed: Ethereal Metaflow, allows her to gain Divine Provision after using her Skill. When Divine Provision is active, an ally gets healed when their turn starts or when using their Ultimate. Divine Provision can also dispel 1 debuff when it heals an ally.

Repel Enemies with Technique

Huohuo's Technique, Fiend: Impeachment of Evil, can terrorize enemies with the Horror-Struck effect. This effect will draw enemies away from Huohuo in the overworld.

When entering combat while enemies are affected by the Horror-Struck debuff, there is a chance of reducing all of the enemies' ATK!
