• Whenever Huohuo heals an ally, she will gain the Divine Provision buff that will also grant healing to some allies. Since her skill and Divine Provision can heal her teammates by a decent amount, you don't need to activate her skill every time Huhouo gets a turn. Just use Huohuo’s skill every two turns as it allows her to refresh the Divine Provision effect.

• Moreover, when you get Huohuo’s ultimate ability, activate it immediately as it will grant all other units a decent damage boost and regenerate their Energy as well. If she is placed in a team with ATK-scaling DPS characters, the ATK buff will greatly help them.
