Strengths & Weaknesses

Bailu

Strengths
  • “Felicitous Thunderleap” restores HP across the threatened allies, giving Bailu a panic button when Skill ticks are not enough.
  • Skill “Singing Among Clouds” Heals a single ally for 13.7% of Bailu's Max HP plus 400—Outgoing Healing and HP relics convert directly into safer DPS turns.
  • “Gourdful of Elixir” restores HP across the threatened allies—clutch saves without spending a second Ultimate.
Weaknesses
  • Healing does not speed Toughness or DPS checks—Bailu looks “bad” on clear-time boards even when the team would have died without the Skill/Ult heals.
  • If Energy or Skill Points starve “Felicitous Thunderleap”, Bailu spends turns on Basics and the kit’s advertised multipliers never show up on the combat log.
  • Spamming “Singing Among Clouds” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Bailu is often the SP sink.

Gallagher

Strengths
  • Ultimate “Champagne Etiquette” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—level this before polishing filler traces.
  • Skill “Special Brew” Immediately heals a target ally for 2020 HP—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
  • Talent “Tipsy Tussle” The Besotted state makes targets receive 15.0% more Break DMG—ignore it and Gallagher plays like a worse generic Abundance unit.
Weaknesses
  • Healing does not speed Toughness or DPS checks—Gallagher looks “bad” on clear-time boards even when the team would have died without the Skill/Ult heals.
  • As a 4★ Abundance unit, Gallagher is easy to gear for early/mid game but usually loses the niche race to a modern limited option once that banner is built.
  • Spamming “Special Brew” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Gallagher is often the SP sink.
