Looking for a list of the best healers in Genshin Impact? You’ve come to the right place. Here’s a list of the best, their stats, and their special abilities.
Though the primary battle would be decided by the characters who have the highest DPS, i.e., Damage per second, the battle could also be won by deploying more innovative and efficient techniques.
Yes, raw power and brute strength are great ways to smash opponents, but adapting to new game styles is also essential.
The healers are the most underrated characters, not only in Genshin Impact but also in the gaming community. Most of the time, the role of the healer is secondary to the main characters responsible for chipping in damage.
But if a strong player makes your win easier, a healer will make sure it’ll be hard for the opponent to take you down. So the healer characters in Genshin Impact are as important as any others.
As of (September 2021), there are 7-8 healers in the game.
So we decided to shed some much-needed love on the healers who make the life of the party just so simple. Healers in Genshin impact are essential to winning a match, especially when playing co-op mode; it will almost be mandatory to have a healer on the team.
Genshin Impact Best Healers Ranked
This list is a ranked list, so we hope it gives you a brief overview of all the healers in the game.

|---|---|
| Xingqiu (8-C) | Healing source: Skill/Burst (Rain blades) Healing scaled to: Max HP Element: Hydro Rating: 4-star sword-user Tier: C. |
| Diona (7-B) | Healing source: Burst Healing scaled to: Max HP Element: Cryo Rating: 4-star bow-user Tier: B. |

8. Xingqiu (8-C)
- Healing source: Skill/Burst (Rain blades)
- Healing scaled to: Max HP
- Element: Hydro
- Rating: 4-star sword-user
- Tier: C.
Xingqiu is not even considered a healer by many of the players in the community because of certain limitations he has. His healing capabilities are tied to Rain Blades, which is not a good sign from the get-go, as the Rain blades aren’t unlocked until the first ascension.
His healing is not even high stat-wise to compensate for the effort we put in; he’s easily outperformed by a free healer, Barbara. Though if you want to use him, he’s suited chiefly for single-player mode.
Still, it will be a challenging task to master his capabilities, and you can quickly get a better healer.
7. Diona (7-B)
- Healing source: Burst
- Healing scaled to: Max HP
- Element: Cryo
- Rating: 4-star bow-user
- Tier: B.
Diona is a fan favorite because of her personality and looks, but that doesn’t make her a good healer. In fact, she’s not even close to being a sound healer, she’s quickly ousted by other healers on the list. Her only advantage is that she can heal others over time.
Regardless of that, her healing is not as effective as one might come to expect from her. She’s a bow user, so an archer on the party would seem like a good addition.
But Diona is not well suited to be the primary healer at all, maybe a secondary healer.
6. Bennett (6-B)
- Healing source: Burst
- Healing scaled to: Max HP
- Element: Pyro
- Rating: 4-star
- Tier: B.
Just like Diona or Xingqiu, Bennett isn’t the brightest healer out there. His healing capabilities are not on par with the other better healers we’ve had in the game.
Regardless of that, the only reason why Bennett is ranked higher than the other two is that, when building a character, Bennett can be more versatile and valuable; when compared to Diona and Xiangqiu.
5. Barbara (5-A)
- Healing source: Burst, Skill
- Healing scaled to: Max HP
- Element: Hydro
- Rating: 4-star catalyst user
- Tier: A.
Barbara is a newbie’s favorite healer for the fact that she’s a free healer. But being free doesn’t guarantee her powerful abilities, and yes, they’re not that great. If you build Barbara into a healer, then she can be of some use.
Don’t build her up like a DPS character, as her abilities rely on you, making her a healer. Despite her healing abilities, her powers are average, to say the least. Yes, she has a couple of things going for her, but you’ll have to invest time into making her better.
Time which can better be spent on other better characters!
4. Sayu (4-A)
- Healing source: Burst, Skill
- Healing scaled to: Max HP
- Element: Anemo
- Rating: 4-star claymore user
- Tier: A.
Sayu is a reasonably new addition to the game, and players are still experimenting with her skills and abilities. She has almost the same stats as Barbara.
She is only inches above her because her ability to heal is tied to her bursts and talents.
Regardless of the stats, Sayu is an excellent main healer; she can be used on and off the field; this versatility makes her even better. Also, her element is another advantage, so make sure to tap into it more often.
3. Qiqi (3-S)
- Healing source: Burst, Skill
- Healing scaled to: Attack
- Element: Cryo
- Rating: 5-star sword user
- Tier: S.
We’re entering the territory of the greatest healers with this next entry. Qiqi is considered by many one of the best healers in the game. Her abilities combined with her passive healing make her a force to be reckoned with.
The only downside of having Qiqi is that her cooldown is more significant than any other healer. Still, if you master her abilities, you won’t have been bothered by the cooldown anyway.
Qiqi also helps make cor lapis farming in Genshin Impact extremely easier.
2. Jean (2-S)
- Healing source: Burst, Normal attack
- Healing scaled to: Attack
- Element: Anemo
- Rating: 5-star sword user
- Tier: S.
The similarities between Qiqi and Jean are jarring; both are almost the same in healing capabilities. But where Jean shines is versatility in a battle and way higher DPS.
So, Jean can act as a DPS character or a support one and be the main healer. This makes her one of the if not the best in the game.
1. Noelle (1-S)
- Healing source: Skill
- Healing scaled to: Defense
- Element: Geo
- Rating: 4-star claymore user
- Tier: S.
Putting a 4-star claymore healer over two 5 star rated healers may seem strange, but Noelle is just the better choice. Unlike Qiqi, which is used for her healing abilities. Jean is used as a DPS character because of her offensive stats.
Noelle is really, really hard to take down. She is one of the rarest in the game as she is a defensive healer, she will be tough to defeat, and that’s what makes her the best healer.
Because the job of the healer is predominantly to heal and support others, Noelle does that job magnificently and holds her own ground.
