Francis Character Guide: Healer and Earth Support
A complete guide to Francis covering his healing abilities, Earth element support, team compositions, and optimal build strategy.
Who is Francis?
Francis is a support character who specializes in healing and providing ATK boosts to his teammates. He's particularly effective in Earth-element teams where his tag-out abilities synergize with main DPS characters.
While not available in the initial character roster (missing from community sheets as of July 2026), Francis has been identified through team composition guides and is referenced in multiple team builds.
Core abilities and role
Healing: Francis provides consistent healing to the team, keeping your main DPS alive during extended fights.
ATK Boost: On tag-out, Francis provides an ATK buff to the next character, making him ideal for swap-heavy rotations.
Earth Synergy: His abilities work best with Earth-element characters, providing additional damage bonuses.
- Use Francis's Skill to heal the team when HP drops below 50%.
- Tag out to your main DPS to apply the ATK boost.
- Swap back to Francis when healing is needed again.
- Avoid staying on field with Francis - his damage is minimal.
Team compositions
Earth Core: Gabi (main DPS) + Ellie (sub DPS) + Francis (healer/ATK boost). This is the strongest Earth team composition.
Earth/Lightning Hybrid: Gabi + Francis + Reina. Mix Earth and Lightning for versatility.
Budget Team: Any main DPS + Francis + any support. Francis works as a universal healer slot.
Build priorities
Artifacts: Focus on HP% and Healing Bonus artifacts. His signature artifact (if available) should prioritize these stats.
Monsterlings: Support Monsterlings that boost team damage or provide shields.
Skill Priority: Level his healing skill first, then his ATK boost passive.
Awakening: A1-A2 provide good quality-of-life improvements. A4+ is luxury.
