Best Shorekeeper Build Guide 2026
Quick Navigation
1. Character Overview
Shorekeeper is a 5-Star Spectro Rectifier Healer/Support and the guardian of the Black Shores. She is widely considered one of the best supports in the game, providing healing, energy regeneration, Crit Rate buffs, and Crit DMG buffs to the entire team. Her kit makes her an essential pick for any serious endgame team composition.
Why Build Shorekeeper?
- Best healer in the game: Provides massive healing and team-wide buffs
- Crit buffs: Liberation grants +12.5% Crit Rate and +25% Crit DMG to all allies
- Energy regeneration: High Energy Regen enables frequent Liberation uptime
- Flexible team fit: Works with virtually any DPS character in the game
Role in Team
Primary healer and buffer. She maintains team health, provides Crit buffs via Liberation, and generates Concerto Energy for quick swaps. Her Intro Skill also deals considerable burst damage due to her high HP scaling.

Substats Priority
Energy Regen% > HP% > Crit DMG% > HP (flat) > Resonance Skill DMG%
Energy Regen target: 230-250%. Her 2nd inherent skill and Fallacy of No Return contribute +20% Energy Regen, so achieving 230% is adequate. Higher ER means more frequent Liberation uptime and better Crit buff coverage.

4. Team Compositions
Shorekeeper works with virtually any DPS character in the game. Her Crit buffs and healing make her the best universal support. Here are some optimal team setups:
T0 Team (Augusta + Iuno)
Shorekeeper provides healing and Crit buffs for Augusta's massive damage output. Iuno provides sub-DPS and energy generation. This is one of the highest damage teams in the game.
Jinhsi Hypercarry Team
Shorekeeper's Crit buffs massively boost Jinhsi's already high damage. Changli provides Fusion sub-DPS and generates Concerto Energy. Strong for both Tower and Whimpering Wastes.
F2P Friendly Team
Double healer setup for maximum survivability. Spectro Rover provides consistent damage. Shorekeeper's buffs still apply. Budget option for players struggling with endgame content.
Rotation Tips
- Start with Shorekeeper — cast Resonance Skill to heal and apply ATK buff (if using signature weapon)
- Build Concerto Energy through Basic Attacks
- Cast Resonance Liberation as soon as energy is full — this is your highest priority
- Switch to DPS character via Intro Skill to maximize damage during Liberation buff window
- Let DPS deal damage while Shorekeeper's sphere provides passive healing and buffs
- Switch back to Shorekeeper when Liberation expires or team needs healing
- Repeat — prioritize keeping Liberation buff active at all times
5. Resonance Chain (Sequence Nodes)
Worth Pulling?
S0 is already the best support in the game. S1 improves healing. S3 is the sweet spot for most players (+15% Crit Rate / +30% Crit DMG is huge). S6 is whale territory but makes her buffs absolutely broken.
