Honkai: Star Rail Gallagher Character Guide: How to Build the Best Gallagher in 2.1 Version

Gallagher, a four-star Fire and Abundance character, arrived with the 2.1 update, offering players a new healing option, especially for those prioritizing readily available four-star characters. This guide will detail how to optimize Gallagher’s performance, focusing on light cones, relics, trace priority, and effective team compositions.

Gallagher Overview

Gallagher is an Abundance character, like Luocha, but with a focus on offensive abilities. His healing method, also reminiscent of Luocha’s, relies on single-target healing and control disruption, with ultimate moves potentially inflicting negative effects on the enemy. Crucially, Gallagher’s healing amount is fixed, not dependent on his own stats like other Abundance characters. This makes him a viable healer even in the early game, without needing high-level relics immediately.

Best Light Cones of Gallagher

For Gallagher, the Night of Fright light cone is the most effective. It boosts energy regeneration by 12%, ensuring quick access to his ultimate skill. It also boosts the attack of the lowest-health character by 2.3%, enhancing overall team output.

Best Relics of Gallagher

Since Gallagher’s healing doesn’t scale with his stats, prioritize relics focused on Break Effect and Speed, with a touch of health for survivability. High Speed ensures frequent reactions, especially in demanding situations.

• Thief of Shooting Meteor (4-piece): Excellent for Gallagher, providing substantial Break Effect and energy regeneration upon Weakness Breaks.
• Messenger Traversing Hackerspace: A good alternative if you lack sufficient substats to maximize the benefits of Thief of Shooting Meteor, emphasizing speed.
• Broken Keel, Penacony, or Land of Dreams: These can be considered if you have sufficient Break Effect from other sources and prioritize team support and energy regeneration over additional Break Effect.

Gallagher Trace Priority

1. Talent Optimization: Prioritize talents that maximize his healing based on attack.
2. Single-Target Healing Skills: Focus on combat skills that restore health to a single target.
3. Basic Attacks: Basic attacks that can improve attack reduction values are important.
4. Ultimate Skills: Prioritize ultimate skills based on individual team needs.

Best Teams of Gallagher

Gallagher’s healing capabilities and ability to inflict negative status effects make him a valuable addition to various teams. His healing is particularly helpful with Acheron and Dr. Ratio, giving him a crucial advantage over other abundance characters like Luocha.

• Team 1: Gallagher (Healer) + Acheron (DPS) + Pela (Support) + Silver Wolf (Support)
• Team 2: Gallagher (Healer) + Dr. Ratio (DPS) + Topaz (Support) + Ruan Mei (Support)

These team compositions leverage Gallagher’s strengths to provide effective healing and support while maximizing the DPS of your chosen characters. Remember that these are examples; experimentation with different character combinations can lead to further optimizations.
