Trailblazers touched down in Penacony and met a whole new cast of characters including Honkai Star Rail’s Gallagher – a member of the Bloodhound Family and part-time bartender. He’s a four-star character following the Abundance and can heal your team while also dishing out some fiery damage while using neon pink Wolverine-like claws. How cool is that? In the meantime, check where characters like Honkai Star Rail’s Ruan Mei and Honkai Star Rail’s Xueyi rank on our Honkai Star Rail tier list, and start saving for Penacony with these Honkai Star Rail codes.
Here’s everything you need to know about building Honkai Star Rail’s Gallagher:
What’s the best Honkai Star Rail Gallagher build?
Gallagher is an interesting four-star character who uses the fire element and who follows the path of Abundance.
Best light cone | What Is Real? |
Light cone substitutes | Night of Fright, Post-Op Conversation |
Best relic set | Messenger Traversing Hackerspace and Watchmaker, Master of Dream Machinations |
Planar ornaments | Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern |
Main stats | Body – Outgoing healing Feet – Speed Link rope – Energy regeneration Planar sphere – HP or defense |
Sub stats | Speed, break effect, HP |
Gallagher can restore your teammate’s HP with his skill, talent, and traces and is not to be sniffed at – he may be a four-star, but he’s the best four-star healer in the game, ranking in the top of most tier lists.
He can debuff enemies so they take more break effect damage, while also dealing quite a bit of fire damage considering he’s an Abundance follower.
Gallagher’s best build in Honkai Star Rail is as a healer with a high break effect stat. The best light cone for him is What Is Real?, and the best relic sets for him are a mix of two Watchmaker, Master of Dream Machinations and Passerby of Wandering Cloud two-piece sets. You need to build up plenty of break effect to ensure his healing covers your entire team.

What are the best light cones for Gallagher?
Gallagher, as a healer, can benefit from any healing-centric light cones. However, his passive Novel Concoction scales off his break effect to add more outgoing healing, so we recommend the light cone What Is Real? to boost this stat for him. Plus, it has his face on it, so it looks the part.
Night of Fright | Increases Gallagher’s energy regeneration rate by 12%. When an ally uses their ultimate move, he restores HP for that ally equal to 10% of their maximum HP stat. When healing party members, he also increases their attack by 2.4%. This can stack five times and lasts for two turns | Light cone banner |
What Is Real? | This increases Gallagher’s break effect by 48%. After using his basic attack, he restores 4.0% of his own maximum HP, plus 800 | Gacha |
Quid Pro Quo | At the start of Gallagher’s turn, he regenerates 8/10/12/14/16 energy for a random ally whose current energy is lower than 50% | Forgotten Hall store |
Post-Op Conversation | This increases Gallagher’s energy regeneration rate by 8%, and his outgoing healing by 12% when he uses his ultimate | Gacha |
Shared Feeling | Increases Gallagher’s outgoing healing by 10%. When he uses his skill, he regenerates two energy for all team members | Gacha |
Perfect Timing | Increases Gallagher’s effect resistance by 16%, and his outgoing healing by 33% of his total effect resistance. You can gain a 15% increase in this way | Gacha |
What are the best relics for Gallagher?
The best relic sets to equip him with are a two-piece set of Passerby of Wandering Cloud, and either Messenger Traversing Hackerspace or a break effect boosting two-piece, depending on how your stats turn out. Really, there aren’t any four-piece sets that really work for him, unless you want to capitalize on skill points with a full set of Passerby. This would mean you need excellent sub and main stats, however.
Remember that primarily, Gallagher is a healer, so focus on that more than any fire-boosting relics. Speed is helpful to make sure he moves first, so you can heal up when you need to, but attack and break effect are also important to ensure he can do some damage, and make his passive – Novel Concoction – worthwhile. You should aim for around 150% break effect.
