Wuthering Waves Best Healers: Current meta
In the evolving meta of Wuthering Waves, healers play a pivotal role in sustaining your team through high‑stakes encounters like Tower of Adversity or Whimpering Wastes. In this guide, we’ll break down the current best healers in the meta, what makes them shine, and which secondary options are viable depending on your roster.
Top Healer Picks in the Current Meta
Shorekeeper – The Meta King
Shorekeeper sits at the top of the healer tier list thanks to her exceptional healing output, buffs, and utility. Her Resonance Skill offers an instant heal to the entire party, and her Resonance Liberation delivers healing over time within her Stellarealm while granting Crit Rate and Crit Damage buffs to allies. Because her healing scales with HP and she also boosts damage output, she functions as both a sustain and buffer heal option.
Verina – Best All‑Round Healer & Buffer
If you haven’t pulled Shorekeeper yet, Verina is still the benchmark standard healer. She offers strong healing through her Resonance Liberation, Intro / Outro skills, and also provides a team ATK buff. She also has a safety mechanism that prevents fatal damage via her inherent skill, making her even more reliable in risky fights. In many meta tier lists, she remains a consistent S‑tier or top healer.
Secondary Healer & Support Options
Baizhi – Free & Effective Healer
Baizhi is often considered the “budget” or F2P alternative healer and still holds relevance in the meta. Her healing is straightforward and scales well with HP. She also unlocks revival capabilities at high sequence levels (S5), bringing allies back with full HP, albeit with a cooldown. She also lightly buffs allies, making her a solid choice when your ideal healers are unavailable.
Jianxin – Healer / Shielder Hybrid
Although not a pure healer, Jianxin functions as a support hybrid thanks to her shielding and small heals. Her Forte Circuit grants a shield which can heal over time while it holds. Some players even prefer Jianxin when facing waves of minor enemies due to her added crowd control and sustain. She’s a viable supplementary healer if your roster has a gap.
Youhu & Others – Niche Healers
Youhu is a 4★ healer whose kit includes team healing via her Resonance Skill and buffs linked to coordinated attacks. However, her utility is weaker compared to Verina and Shorekeeper, so she’s more situational. Additionally, some DPS or hybrid units like Spectro Rover may have minor healing capabilities via their ultimates or sequences, but these are supplementary rather than mainline healing.
Choosing the Right Healer for Your Team
- Aim for Shorekeeper → Verina
These two dominate the current meta. If you can mount both, they cover most healing needs across content. - Fallback on Baizhi if needed
Baizhi’s ease of acquisition and solid healing make her a perfect fill‑in until you secure top healers. Many players use her until they can upgrade. - Use hybrids to complement, not replace
Jianxin or Youhu can add extra sustain or shielding in a pinch, but they’re best used to supplement rather than lead your healing. - Factor your team’s damage style & buffs
A healer who also buffs ATK, Crit, or shields adds much more value in difficult endgame content. Shorekeeper and Verina excel here. - Resource allocation strategy
Don’t overspend on mediocre healers. Prioritize your investment on your top picks and only invest further in secondary or niche healers after your core is strong.
The current meta for Wuthering Waves leans heavily toward Shorekeeper as the best overall healer, with Verina as a reliable backup or even partner. Baizhi remains a capable free option, while Jianxin and Youhu fill niche gaps. Build smart, invest wisely, and your teams will survive the toughest content with flying colors.
