What stat does healing scale with?

It depends on the character. HP: Kokomi, Baizhu, Sigewinne, Yaoyao, Diona, Bennett. ATK: Jean, Qiqi, Xianyun, Charlotte. DEF: Xilonen, Noelle. Kuki Shinobu heals off HP but her Hyperbloom damage scales with Elemental Mastery.

Should I use an HP or Healing Bonus circlet?

Almost always Healing Bonus. It is a separate multiplier, while HP% suffers diminishing relative returns once you already stack it. Only special cases such as Nilou and Zhongli should take HP instead.

Who is the best healer in Genshin Impact?

On combined output and comfort, Baizhu, Kokomi and Sigewinne rank at the top, while Bennett from C1 is the strongest single-target healer and buffer in the game.

Which healer should I pair with Furina?

Favour instant party healers such as Jean and Charlotte, who can top up the whole team in one Burst and immediately max Furina's Fanfare. Active-character-only healers like Bennett and Kuki slow the stacking down badly.

How do I heal teammates in co-op?

Only the host can use food to heal the party, so teammates rely on character healing. That makes bringing a dedicated healer far more valuable in co-op than in single player.

Genshin Healer Guide: Healing Formula and Best Healers

Healing looks simple until you ask why your healer does nothing. The answer is almost never investment — it is the scaling stat: HP on Jean or ATK on Kokomi will gut your output. This guide covers the healing formula, each healer’s scaling stat, gear choices, and the specific logic of healing for Furina.

What stat does healing scale with? It depends on the character: Kokomi, Baizhu and Sigewinne scale on HP, Jean, Qiqi, Xianyun and Charlotte on ATK, and Xilonen and Noelle on DEF. Building the wrong stat halves your output.
HP or Healing Bonus circlet? Almost always Healing Bonus. It is a separate multiplier from HP%, so once you already stack 100% HP the extra 46.6% HP is diluted, while 35.9% Healing Bonus is pure gain.
Who are the best healers? Baizhu (party heal plus shield, HP-scaled), Kokomi (constant party healing) and Sigewinne (party heal on a Skill) lead the pack; Bennett from C1 is the strongest single-target healer.
Which healer fits Furina? Pick an instant party healer such as Jean or Charlotte. Furina’s Fanfare stacks need the whole party topped up, and single-target healers force you to swap through every character, costing real DPS.

How healing is calculated

Healing has fewer multipliers than damage. The core formula simplifies to:

Final healing = base healing × (1 + Healing Bonus) × (1 + Incoming Healing Bonus) × scaling stat

Three things follow from this:

Healing Bonus is its own multiplier, coming from the circlet main stat, 2-piece set bonuses, weapons and some passives.
Incoming Healing Bonus belongs to the person being healed. It only helps that one character and is a poor investment for a team-wide healer.
The scaling stat is fixed per character, and building the wrong one is the most common cause of terrible healing numbers.

Healer roster and what each one is for

Character	Scaling	Coverage	Role
Baizhu	HP	Party (Skill)	Heal plus shield plus Dendro application; the most comfortable all-rounder
Kokomi	HP	Party (Burst) / active (Skill)	Healing and damage from the same stat; Freeze and Bloom staple
Sigewinne	HP	Party (Skill)	Party heal on the Skill, so your Burst rotation is untouched
Xianyun	ATK	Party (Burst)	Party heal plus Plunging Attack support
Yaoyao	HP	Active (Skill) / party (Burst)	Four-star Dendro healer, great in Aggravate and Bloom
Jean	ATK	Party (Burst)	Instant party heal plus Swirl cleansing
Xilonen	DEF	Active (Burst)	Top single-target healing on a full-DEF build, but conditional
Bennett	HP (heal) / Base ATK (buff)	Active only (Burst)	Best single-target healer from C1, with a huge ATK buff attached
Qiqi	ATK	Party / active	Enormous healing potential, crippled by energy problems and low utility
Charlotte	ATK	Party (Burst)	Instant party heal; excellent partner for Furina
Diona	HP	Active (Burst)	Heal and shield in one; common in Cryo teams
Kuki Shinobu	EM (Hyperbloom) / HP (heal)	Active only (Skill)	Hyperbloom trigger; the healing is a bonus

A few characters only heal once a constellation is unlocked, notably Gorou (C4), Zhongli (C6) and Noelle via her own kit.

Gear: the circlet is the dividing line

"HP or Healing Bonus circlet" is the most searched support-build question, and the answer is almost always Healing Bonus:

If you already have 100% HP bonus, adding 46.6% more HP is only about a 23% relative gain.
35.9% Healing Bonus is a completely separate multiplier, so it multiplies straight through.
Exceptions: Nilou wants pure HP for her passive, and Zhongli wants HP for shields — neither should run a Healing Bonus circlet.

Set	Effect	Who
Ocean-Hued Clam	+15% Healing Bonus (2pc); 4pc converts recorded healing including overflow into physical damage at 90%, capped at 30,000 recorded (roughly a 27k hit)	Kokomi, Barbara, Qiqi
Maiden Beloved	+15% Healing Bonus (2pc); 4pc grants the party +20% healing received for 10s after a Skill or Burst	Generalist healers
Song of Days Past	+15% Healing Bonus (2pc); 4pc records healing and converts it into bonus damage	Support-leaning healers
Deepwood Memories	Dendro RES shred	Dendro healers such as Baizhu and Yaoyao

Main stats in practice: Energy Recharge (or the scaling stat) on the sands, the scaling stat on the goblet, Healing Bonus on the circlet. Energy Recharge is the hidden stat that matters — an 80-cost Burst at 100% ER means zero healing for half the fight.

Healing for Furina specifically

Furina’s Fanfare scales with party HP changes and needs cumulative healing equal to 100% of the party’s combined HP to max out. That dictates who you bring:

Best: instant party healers such as Jean and Charlotte — one Burst takes everyone from 50% to 100% and grants max stacks immediately.
Good: continuous party healers such as Kokomi, Baizhu and Sigewinne.
Worst: active-character-only healers such as Bennett and Kuki, which force you to cycle every character through the field and bleed DPS.

Practical checklist

Do not blindly stack HP — confirm the scaling stat first; HP on Jean does nothing.
Energy Recharge beats raw healing: a healer who cannot cast is not a healer.
In co-op only the host can use food, so teammates depend entirely on character healing — bringing one matters more there.
Overflow is not wasted with Ocean-Hued Clam, which is exactly how Kokomi contributes damage.
Statues of The Seven heal you, but not during combat, so never count on them as an emergency button.

Bottom line

Three things decide a healer: the right scaling stat, a Healing Bonus circlet, and enough Energy Recharge. The rest is matchup choice — Baizhu for comfort, Kokomi for sustained party healing, Jean or Charlotte for instant party heals that max Furina. Raw healing numbers are not the goal; healing when it matters is.
