Assessing the Capabilities of Healers in Genshin Impact
As Genshin Impact continues to evolve, new characters are added to the game, which makes it crucial to have an objective assessment of all the healers. In this article, we’ll analyze the healers’ capabilities within preset parameters to determine the best healer in Genshin Impact.
The Parameters
To calculate healing, we’ll use the following formula: (((the ability percent multiplier of stat + level-variable constant) x Healing Bonus) x Incoming Healing Bonus), and we’ll do away with the Healing Bonuses for the comparison. The base calculation is also listed in the Skill Attribute page on the character’s Talent menu. Since different healers have different stat bases, we’ll use values of 40,000 HP, 2,000 ATK, and 2,000 DEF for calculations, as these values are easily obtainable even at character level 70 if you use triple HP%, ATK%, or DEF% artifacts. Otherwise, specific artifact sets can help achieve those values.
The Calculations
We’ll go through each character’s healing methods and calculate their potential for recovery. The healing is categorized as single-target (on-field character only) or multiple (party-wide), and the latter adds an x4 multiplier since it heals everyone in the party. We’ll use the values of the ability’s level 10 attribute scaling, and only consider healing that is not affected by constellations.
