Best Healer Weapons：Panacea Fan & Soulshade Umbrella

For healing, the optimal weapon combination is the Panacea Fan and the Soulshade Umbrella. The fan serves as your main healing instrument, while the umbrella aids in resource management. This weapon combo functions exceptionally well together, as both provide healing and team buffs.

However, be aware from the start that your personal damage output will be quite limited as a pure healer, so you'll be relying on your teammates to secure eliminations.

Panacea Fan

This is your core healing weapon. The Panacea Fan excels at rapidly restoring your team's health and can even remotely resurrect fallen allies, which is an incredibly useful feature.

Additionally, successfully countering an enemy with it will briefly freeze them, creating an opening for you to reposition or switch weapons.

Here is a detailed breakdown of the Panacea Fan's skills and key usage points.

Core Resource "Dew" Management

Dew is an exclusive resource for the Panacea Fan, used to unlock Perception Skills. Skill effects gain additional bonuses based on the amount of Dew or when Dew is maxed out. Prioritize actively accumulating Dew through skills to ensure sufficient resources are available when triggering key skills.

Detailed Usage of Core Skills

• Cloud Burst

The core large-scale AoE healing skill. Generates 20 Dew instantly upon use. Can be cast at any Dew level; when Dew is maxed, recast it within the skill's AoE circle to trigger the Perception Skill. If the Umbrella's "Echoing Grow" skill is off cooldown, it will automatically summon the floating healing umbrella above your head. If the Umbrella skill is on cooldown, it will release a powerful burst of healing covering yourself and your teammates.

• Light Dust After Morning Rain

A single-target heal-over-time skill that prioritizes the teammate with the lowest HP by default. It is also the key skill for reviving downed teammates. The amount of HP restored upon revival depends on the current Dew level, and the skill has a 30-second cooldown. Pay attention to timing its use, prioritizing reviving key teammates or rescuing low-HP targets.

• Emerald Dew Touch

A skill that balances healing and Dew restoration. Generates 3, 5, and 12 Dew points respectively upon use (depending on skill level or triggers). It is core to maintaining the Dew cycle. Use it between other skills to ensure a steady supply of resources.

• Dual Weapon Switch Skill

When switching to the Panacea Fan, it continuously restores HP for yourself and one ally. This serves as a quick minor heal in emergency situations, utilizing the weapon switch gap to replenish the team's HP without occupying additional skill cast windows.

 

Soulshade Umbrella

The umbrella boosts the entire team's damage output and provides sustained healing during combat. Its Special Skill replenishes Dew, which is a resource that powers your healing rotation, and can deliver a concentrated burst of healing when Dew is consumed.

The following is a detailed breakdown of the Soulshade Umbrella's skills and key usage points.

Core Positioning: Buffs + Dew Support

The Soulshade Umbrella's core role is to provide buffs for the team and assist in accumulating Dew, while supplementing healing capabilities. It needs to cooperate with the Panacea Fan to form skill synergy, rather than relying solely on its healing effects.

Key Skill Usage Strategies

• Floating Grace

The team's core damage buff skill. Increases the entire party's damage by 15% for 8 seconds with a 1-minute cooldown, and also provides minor healing. It is recommended to use it at the start of boss fights or when the boss enters the exhausted state to maximize team output. Note that this skill cannot be cast while the healing umbrella (Echoing Grow) is active; you must dismiss the healing umbrella or wait for it to expire first.

• Echoes of a Thousand Plants

The R skill that summons a floating healing umbrella. Continuously increases your healing output by 15% and generates up to 60 Dew over time, making it one of the important sources of Dew. Try to keep this skill active at all times. Additionally, when Dew is maxed and Echoes of a Thousand Plants is off cooldown, it can be automatically triggered through the Panacea Fan's max-Dew "Cloud Burst" Perception Skill, achieving skill synergy.

• Dual Weapon Switch Skill

When switching to the Soulshade Umbrella, it deals minor damage, increases your healing by 5%, and generates up to 30 Dew over a period of time. You can use weapon switches to supplement Dew and slightly boost healing efficiency, adapting flexibly to the team's combat rhythm.

Skill Synergy Rules

The Umbrella's "Echoing Grow" needs to be triggered by the Panacea Fan's max-Dew "Cloud Burst" Perception Skill. Plan the Dew accumulation rhythm in advance to avoid synergy failure due to the Umbrella skill being on cooldown. If the synergy conditions are not met, prioritize ensuring the Umbrella's buff skills (such as Floating Grace) and Dew generation effects before considering supplementary healing.

Usage Taboos & Notes

You cannot cast "Floating Grace" while the floating healing umbrella (Echoing Grow) is active.

Choose skill priorities based on combat phases—prioritize dismissing the healing umbrella to cast "Floating Grace" during output phases, and keep the healing umbrella active when healing pressure is high, balancing the team's output and survival needs.

In short, the Panacea Fan and the Soulshade Umbrella create a healing loop: use the Fan to heal and accumulate Dew, switch to the Umbrella to generate more Dew, and then use that to enable further healing.

Best Healer Inner Ways

To maximize your healing power and perform at your best as a support, you’ll need the right Inner Ways equipped. These are the essential choices for a top-tier healer build in Where Winds Meet:

• Royal Remedy: Increases the strength of Cloudburst Healing by 10%. Once fully upgraded, it grants a free revive every two minutes, which can completely turn a bad fight around.
• Restoring Bloom: Whenever you land a critical heal, all allies gain a Nurturing stack that enhances the healing they receive by 2% for three seconds. It can stack up to three times, and with consistent crits, you can maintain it indefinitely.
• Mending Loom: Using Echoing Glow restores an additional 10% HP for every 100 Dew consumed. It’s not as strong as Cloudburst Healing, but the extra sustain is always valuable.
• Morale Chant: Hitting enemies gives you an 80% chance to trigger the Yi River buff, increasing damage by 1% for eight seconds. This effect stacks up to five times, giving you a minor DPS boost while still focusing on support.

 

Best Healer Gear Sets

Since we are about to exceed the new level cap, which means new gear will become available soon (and this cycle will repeat), we recommend avoiding heavy resource investment in gear sets for now.

Currently, the better options include the following sets:

Set	Effect
Ivorybloom Set	2 Pieces: Critical Rate +0.1% 4 Pieces: At Max HP, there is a bonus 5% chance to deal Critical healing and damage, and increases the effects of Critical healing and damage by 15%.
Rainwhisper Set	2 Pieces: Max HP +40 4 Pieces: Increases all Critical DMG and healing by 10%, and further increases them by 15% when you have an HP shield.

 

How to Play a Healer Well in WWM?

Playing a healer in WWM is all about using the right rotation to maximize healing and team buffs. You can maximize your output by following the steps below:

• Open every fight with Floating Grace from your Umbrella to immediately boost team damage, then use Echoes of a Thousand Plants to set up passive healing before switching to your Fan.
• Stay close to your team, monitor their HP, and use Cloudburst Healing to keep everyone stable.
• If someone gets knocked out, Light Dust After Morning Rain becomes a revive, so use it instantly. When no one is down, it can serve as a big heal, but avoid overusing it since it costs 50 Dew and its HoT effect doesn’t stack.

Keep this cycle going and maintain your Umbrella buffs—its 15% damage bonus is huge for your team.

 

Conclusion

Overall, mastering the healer role in Where Winds Meet comes down to using the Panacea Fan and Soulshade Umbrella in the right combinations. Pair them with well-chosen Inner Ways and properly optimized gear to elevate your healing performance.
