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.

Compared to other top-tier Defensive Support characters, you may find Huohuo unable to match in terms of raw sustain power, but she can make up for it by increasing the party's damage output. After all, you won't take damage if the enemy is already dead.

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'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

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.

Free-to-play option for providing Shields. Trailblazer can taunt enemies to prevent them from attacking other party members.

Huohuo Wind-Quantum Team

Healer DPS Support Support
Star Rail - HuohuoHuohuo Star Rail - BladeBlade Star Rail - BronyaBronya Star Rail - Silver WolfSilver Wolf

This team comp is viable in certain content where the enemy is weak to Quantum but not to Wind. Silver Wolf is a must-have for this team so she can implant a Wind Weakness on an enemy.

Alternative Explanation
Star Rail - SeeleSeele DPS Replacement
Best if an enemy is weak to Wind but not against Quantum. Seele can benefit from the Energy Regeneration and ATK buffs provided by Huohuo's Ultimate.
Star Rail - QingqueQingque DPS Replacement
Best if an enemy is weak to Wind but not against Quantum. Qingque can benefit from the Energy Regeneration and ATK buffs provided by Huohuo's Ultimate.
Star Rail - Dan HengDan Heng DPS Replacement

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.

Relic List & Guide

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.

See All Eidolons ▼

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!
