How to build the healers
Cuz most of the builds are generic and it's easier to just put them all here!
I'm gonna put specified information for every healer cuz I thought it would just be easier to put them all in one post rather than just "Sacrificial weapons, Maiden Beloved/Gladiator's finale" over n over again in separate posts
this post is really long I'm sorry >>
Healers included in this post:
Xingqiu [ if you really wanted to build him as one [ I praise you for that ] ]
Diona
Bennett [ my favorite boy ]
Barbara
Sayu
Kokomi
Qiqi [ my favorite <33 ]
Jean
Noelle [ another optional choice ]
𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒅𝒐 𝑰 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔??
Well, it depends on what the heals scale off of!
for the healers, they scale off of either HP or Attack [ except for Noelle!! ]. So, for example: Sayu's heals scale off of attack, so the higher her attack is, the better her heals will be! if you were to just build Sayus HP, then her heals may not be the best [ which sucks, even if you have her as a DPS! ]
so, to make this easier, here's what all of these characters scale off of [ healing-wise!! ]:
HP: Xingqiu, Diona, Bennett, Barbara, and Kokomi
ATK: Sayu, Qiqi, and Jean
Defense: Noelle [ what a queen, she gets her own special scale!! ]
𝑶𝒌, 𝒔𝒐...𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒅𝒐 𝑰 𝒃𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎?
well, let me tell you!
I'm gonna try to make these short build guides so that this post isn't TOO long...but...yeah
builds are under the cut!
Xingqiu: heals come from skill + burst and it scales off of hp
Weapon could be [ cuz this doesnt matter much for a healer build ]: Skyrider Sword, Festering Desire, Sacrificial Sword, or Skyward Blade
Artifact Sets: [ literally includes any set you could ever use on him ]
2pc Instructor + 2pc Exile [ fully have to rely on stats + substats ]
2pc Tenacity of Millelith + 2pc Emblem of Severed Fate
2pc Wanderer's Troupe + 2pc Emblem of Severed Fate or Tenacity
2pc Noblesse Oblige + 2pc Emblem of Severed Fate [ another set where you'd have to fully rely on stats + substats ]
2pc Heart of Depth + 2pc Tenacity or Emblem of Severed Fate
Stats + Substats:
Hp, Hp, and more Hp!! and ER + EM, of course, if you wanted a hybrid build!
Flower & Feather are always Hp & Attack, so they aren't included
Hourglass - HP or EM/ER
Goblet - HP, Hydro DMG Bonus, or ER
Crown - HP or Crit Rate/Dmg
substats you mostly need are HP [ ofc ], and EM + ER [ n Crit Rate/Dmg if you want ]
even though this is a healer build post, it doesn't hurt also including some general information for a general Xingqiu build!
Sayu: heals come from skill + burst and it scales off of attack
note: c1 Sayu is great thanks to her 70% limit being removed! :3

Artifact Sets:
4pc Exile
2pc Scholar + 2pc Exile [ ER on diona > everything ]
4pc Maiden Beloved
Stats + Substats:
As usual, flower and feather aren't included thanks to the unchangeable main stats
Hourglass - HP or ER
Goblet - HP
Crown - Healing Bonus
only two substats you REEAAALLY need are HP and ER ^^
Qiqi: heals come from skill + burst and it scales off of attack
I have a physical build on my qiqi so if you notice any physical build stuffs it's me bringing in stuff from my own build 😭
Weapon: Fillet Blade, Cool Steel, Flute, Sacrificial Sword, Prototype Rancour, Primordial Jade Cutter, Aquila Favonia, or Mistsplitter Reforged

substats you really need are Attack, ER, and Crit Rate/Dmg if you rlly want
Bennett: heals come from burst and it scales off of hp
note: I've heard and seen that Bennett can fully heal, but I have no idea how you get him to do that so if you're fine with only being healed to 70% hp then wooo!! although, personally, I'd say Bennett is better for being an attack buffer! his healing is just a nice little bonus
Weapon: Skyrider Greatsword, Festering Desire, Sacrificial Sword, Favonius Sword, Mistsplitter Reforged, Skyward Blade, or Primordial Jade Cutter
Artifact Sets:
4pc Exile
4pc Noblesse Oblige
2pc Noblesse Oblige + Emblem of Severed Fate

its a bit redundant to say this over n over but there's still no flower or feather artifacts listed bc you can't change their main stats

Solar micro-grids aren't a miracle solution for Puerto Rico's power woes
Alvin Baez/Reuters
Hurricane Maria left Puerto Rico's aging power grid ruined, which was run by the bankrupt power authority, PREPA.
PREPA's economic woes led to the power company becoming very opposed to renewable energy, instead opting to keep the broken system.
Elon Musk offered power grids to Puerto Rico in order to power its hospitals, but Puerto Rico needs much more than philanthropy.
The island needs a new power grid and more solar grids that can be paid for and operated safely.
  In addition to its many other devastating human consequences, Hurricane Maria left the island of Puerto Rico with its power grid in ruins. Power was knocked out throughout the island, with an estimated 80 percent of its transmission and distribution wires incapacitated. When hospitals and other critical users could not get backup power and water supplies ran low, an extended outage became a humanitarian crisis that has yet to be resolved.
This shameful outcome should have been avoided with strong, swift federal leadership. Yet more than five weeks after the storm, only about 40 percent of the grid has been rebuilt, and service remains unreliable even where power is restored.
As the recovery process inches its way forward, the questions many are asking go like this: Why are we rebuilding the grid to be the same as it was before the storm? Can’t we use this as an opportunity to create a more modern, resilient, renewable power system? Isn’t this the perfect opportunity for an upgrade?
The answer to these questions, from my perspective having worked with and researched the power industry for four decades, has little to do with technologies and everything to do with some nearly insurmountable financial and governance challenges. There is a path forward, but it will not be easy.
The power system before Maria
Prior to Maria, Puerto Rico had one of the largest public power authorities in the U.S., known as PREPA, serving a population of 3.4 million people from 31 power plants, 293 substations and 32,000 miles of wire. Almost half its generation was from old, very expensive oil-fired plants, resulting in prices about 22 cents per kilowatt hour, among the highest in the U.S. The island has several solar photovoltaic farms but gets about 46 percent of its power from oil and only about 3 percent from solar.
At the center of all this is PREPA and its outsized role in Puerto Rico. With US$9 billion of debt, PREPA has been part of the contentious refinancing process that ultimately required congressional action. PREPA is also the largest employer on the island, with strong connections to the island’s leadership, so proposals perceived to adversely impact PREPA can be difficult to enact. Recently the island has established a new energy commission called PREC with oversight over PREPA’s plans, spending and rates.
The PREC’s efforts at reform underscore the enormous challenges the utility faces. In September 2016 the PREC issued an order directing PREPA to convert some of its oil plants to gas, renegotiate some high-priced renewables contracts and purchase more renewable energy.
In April 2017 PREPA issued a new financial plan with starkly grim prospects: a $4 billion maintenance backlog, the loss of fully one-quarter of its sales in the next 10 years, and continued red ink as far as the eye can see.  Meanwhile, renewable power developers who have tried to build plants on the island have encountered great difficulties, as chronicled in this blog post.
Then, just before Maria, PREPA declared bankruptcy. Maria therefore destroyed the grid of a system that was already bankrupt, having trouble maintaining its service and paying its bills, resistant to renewable interconnections, and politically difficult to reform.

Proposals for rebuilding with micro-grids
The challenge, then, is to 1) restore energy access as quickly as possible; 2) begin to build a long-term resilient and operable grid; and 3) reform a broken regulatory system. In the wake of the storm, clean energy experts and businesses saw this as the perfect opportunity to start over.
“Puerto Rico will lead the way for the new generation of clean energy infrastructure,” one solar CEO asserted, “and the world will follow.” Elon Musk also famously tweeted an offer to solve the island’s energy problems with Tesla solar systems and batteries.
With an array of solar panels and batteries, a group of buildings, such as a hospital, or a neighborhood can power itself and operate independently in the case of an outage with the central grid – called “islanding” in industry parlance.
Provided they can be paid for and operated safely, quickly setting up these solar microgrid systems is an excellent measure that is both stopgap and long-term contributor. These systems can be set up in a matter of days, providing enough power to help neighborhoods with critical power needs, such as cellphone charging, powering cash machines and providing electricity service for health care and first responders.
However, these systems cost tens of thousands of dollars, and there is currently no substantial way to pay for them other than the kindness of strangers. Three-and-a-half million people would need perhaps 350,000 of these systems – at a price tag in the billions – to provide only a fraction of most families’ power needs.
Even if costs were not a consideration, these distributed systems aren’t a substitute for the grid. Many people think that microgrids don’t need poles and wires, but if they serve more than one building they use pretty much the same grid as we use today.
Once the grid is rebuilt, the new grid-independent systems should then become part of a series of new community microgrids, or networks of multiple solar panel installations backed up by storage. These interconnected systems would be able to “island” together to keep the whole community running at partial if not complete levels of service. With the necessary planning and approvals, new community power organizations could be set up – perhaps separate from PREPA – to finance the conversion of local grids to a more resilient form.
So there is a path from the current grid to one that is far cleaner and more resilient, but it’s not simple or quick. It would require melding complete and rapid restoration of power with a major infusion of capital.
Changing the base of generation from PREPA’s aging, inefficient fleet to clean sources is an essential part of this path. However, even at an extremely fast pace, it takes months to plan the economics, financing and engineering of this transition. More commonly, it takes years and careful economic and financial planning to raise the billions of dollars of capital needed and then spend it wisely.
A sustainable, resilient path forward
Puerto Rico’s citizens have endured great hardship and tragedy. We as a society certainly owe it to them to do whatever we can to lessen the damage from the next hurricane and speed power restoration. However, the path to a sustainable and resilient grid for the island is not as simple as air-dropping solar panels and other equipment onto the island and assuming all will be well. The suggestion that restoring power by replanting the current poles and wires will foreclose a more distributed solution isn’t correct, nor is it the most equitable way to restore power to everyone as quickly as possible.
This isn’t to say that the installation of fully independent solar systems and microgrids should be discouraged in any way. With the important provision that the hardware is maintained properly, the more solar and storage we can get onto the island sooner the better.
At this point, Puerto Rico’s grid is being rebuilt essentially as it was before.
But even as the grid is rebuilt as quickly as possible, the planning and engineering should begin on how to migrate the grid to smaller sections that self-island. This must include all the main aspects of power system development and operation, including financing, ownership, operation and maintenance of the systems.
The only logical way for Puerto Rico – and every other storm-prone electric system – to become a series of resilient and clean microgrids is to first get the entire grid functioning and then to create sections that can separate themselves and operate independently when trouble hits.
