Gallagher is a person healer from games Honkai Star Rail who has skills like a 5 star character, even though he is originally a 4 star character. Gallagher appeared during the Acheron character banner, namely in version 2.1 along with the character rerun that is Luocha.

At that time it happened that the Honkai Star Rail players were confused about whether to take Luocha or Gallagher as their player support healer Acheron, because Gallagher himself is predicted to be a character healer like Luocha but a player friendly 4 star version Free to Play.

Since the appearance of the character healer the best for the Acheron team is Gallagher, in fact he can be suitable for all teams because the skills given by this character are very similar to Luocha as a character healer.

However, there is still a significant difference between 5 star and 4 star characters and Gallagher himself would be good if he had enough Eidolons as a condition for building.

In this article we will discuss Gallagher's character in more depth, starting from an explanation of the kit, game mechanics, and build recommendations.

Kit Gallagher explains

As previously explained, Gallagher relies on the Break Effect to determine the amount of heal he produces.

If Luocha has a field as the main means of healing which is produced from the ultimate, then Gallagher also has the name Besotted as the main healing which he produces as well as a mechanic. gameplay that he has.

Gallagher's skill will provide healing to one teammate of 1600 HP for skill Level 10, but if you have Gallagher with Eidolon (E2) you can remove the debuff to one teammate who is given healing while increasing the RES Effect of that character by 30% for 2 turn.

Well, this is also a disadvantage of Gallagher than healer Another thing is that it requires you to reach E2 first to get the debuff removal effect healer Another way to remove this debuff is their talent to activate it (except Bailu, there is no such effect).

Ultimate Gallagher is the main mechanic of this character, he will deal Fire DMG attacks automatically Area of Effect (AoE) to all enemies and will give a Besotted effect.

When Gallagher launches this attack, it will provide healing and the Besotted effect will last 2 turns, but if your Gallagher is E4 it will increase by 1 turn.

After launching the ultimate, Gallagher will get Advanced Forward 100% and will produce a Nectar Blitz effect in the form of a debuff on the enemy reducing ATK by 15% for 2 turns.

This Besotted effect is the main healing for the Gallagher character. When team members launch an attack on an enemy that has the "Besotted" effect, they will get healing of 640 HP for Level 10.

The recovery received based on this effect is quite small, but as in the previous explanation, the Outgoing Healing produced by Gallagher comes from how big Gallagher's Break Effect is.

Gallagher's Outgoing Healing will increase by 50% from the maximum Break Effect increasing to 75%, which means that Gallagher's maximum Break Effect is 150% to get great healing.

So, in essence you have to reach 150% Break Effect so that the healing resulting from the "Besotted" effect is large.

Mechanic gameplay Gallagher is pretty straightforward as is the character healer others who rely on Basic ATK only until full ultimate.

When one of the characters experiences a large reduction in HP, Gallagher simply provides healing from the skill or ultimate that is launched at the enemy.

If you use Gallagher for the Acheron team, it will help you quickly collect Acheron's ultimate stack because Gallagher's ultimate will give 1 debuff to the enemy.

And after Gallagher launches the ultimate, he will get Advanced Forward 100% which will give 1 more debuff, namely the Nectar Blitz effect.

Gallagher Build Recommendations

The Gallagher character is very easy to build, especially if you want to achieve a Break Effect of 150%. You only need to look for the priority substats, namely SPD, Break Effect, HP% and RES Effect.

Why is the RES Effect in last place? Because Gallagher has a very high Effect RES, he gets an increase in Effect RES on every trace he has and on E1 the Effect RES increases by 50% so that Gallagher's default Effect RES is 70%.

To easily achieve the 150% Break Effect, you must activate each trace until you reach the 13% Break Effect.

Apart from that, the Light Cone that you must use is Gallagher's signature "What is Real?" with the condition that you have to superimpose 5 which will get an additional Break Effect of 48%.

When your Gallagher reaches E6, he will get an additional Break Effect 20%. So, for the rest of the Break Effect, you just need to focus on the Relic, Planar and Rope substats.

For Relic recommendations, you can use 4 sets of Watchmaker or 2 sets of Watchmaker + 2 sets of Meteor or 2 sets of Watchmaker + 2 sets of Hackerspace.

Meanwhile, for Planar and Rope, you can use 2 sets of Talia, 2 sets of Broken Keel, and 2 sets of Penacony.

Relic, Planar and Rope main stats you need to look for are:

  • Head: HP
  • Hands: ATK%
  • Body: Outgoing Healing/HP%
  • Feet: SPD
  • Planar: HP%
  • Rope: ERR%/BE%

But we recommend that Rope should use Energy Regeneration Rate, because Gallagher takes a very long time to fill the ultimate and requires several turns depending on the SPD you have.

Apart from that, every Relic, Planar and Rope must have Break Effect substats so that it is easy to touch Break Effect 150%, if your Gallagher still hasn't reached E6.

Gallagher's trace priorities for increasing the level are: Talents > skills > ultimate > Basic ATK.
