Healers are a staple in many gacha games and team compositions.
Healers - known as soul weavers in Epic Seven - are an integral part of many PVP and PVE teams. Healing in combination with a slew of supportive abilities makes soul weavers great additions to any team composition. Here are five of the best soul weavers you can get in Epic Seven!
5. Tamarinne
Tamarinne is known as the queen of PVE in Epic Seven for a reason - she provides incredible team utility in every PVE game mode with her idol abilities. While she was considered quite bad at release, a quick buff to her kit boosted her usability to the point of notoriety within the game’s player base.
What makes Tamarinne great for healing:
- Idol form
- Tamarinne’s bread and butter is her idol form. When transforming, Tamarinne fully cleanses her team, fully heals herself, and is granted an extra turn. There, she has two options: heal the team with an attack buff and a combat readiness push, or dual attack with an ally with the chance to strip all buffs from the enemy. This incredibly stacked form makes her one of the best team players in the entirety of the game.
- Healing utility
- Tamarinne provides so much utility on top of her great healing - her non-idol form focuses entirely on healing, whereas her idol form heals in addition to providing a whole host of effects to her team. Tamarinne can keep her team topped up and healthy in addition to allowing them to hit harder and move faster.
- Dual attack
- One of the benefits of Tamarinne’s idol form comes in her basic skill, which transforms from a small heal in her non-idol form into a forced dual attack with the highest attack ally, with a 100% chance to strip all enemy buffs. For PVE, pairing Tamarinne with combat readiness-boosting units like Taranor Guard or Commander Lorina can make certain bosses, enemies, and challenges trivial. Many of the “cheese” compositions you’ll see for Epic Seven’s PVE will involve Tamarinne in some capacity because of this.

4. Angelic Montmorancy
Angelic Montmorancy is one of the best budget healers in the game due to her base 3* rarity - you’re even given a copy of her for free in Connections! With her specialty change, Angelic Montmorancy can be an incredible asset to your PVE and PVP teams.
What makes Angelic Montmorancy great for healing:
- Cleansing abilities
- Angelic Montmorancy is most known for her high effect resistance and incredible debuff-cleansing abilities. With two healing skills that can cleanse up to two debuffs from allies, both on short cooldowns, Angelic Montmorancy can keep her allies healthy and free of debuffs with ease.
- Bulk
- Due to her status as a specialty change unit, Angelic Montmorancy has additional awakenings into her defensive stats of HP and effect resistance. Combined with base health, defense, and effect resistance awakenings, Angelic Montmorancy can be built tanky with a very high chance to resist enemy debuffs, even on dedicated debuffers. Combining this with short cooldowns, unless her opponent has high damage potential, Angelic Montmorancy can be very hard to take down.
- Turn cycling
- One of Angelic Montmorancy’s strengths is her ability to turn-cycle through combat readiness manipulation and one very useful awakening in her specialty change. With both of her healing skills, Angelic Montmorancy grants herself combat readiness, allowing her to move quickly despite having a low base speed. Additionally, so long as she is not debuffed, her second skill has a 50% chance for cooldowns not to occur after its use, making her cleanses and heals practically unstoppable; pair her with the artifact Magaraha’s Tome and you have a turn-cycling machine.

3. Ruele
Ruele is one of the more difficult units to obtain on this list due to her Moonlight 5* status. However, of the Moonlight 5* soul weavers available, Ruele is one of the best choices in the current meta - and, if you want, you can get her for free from Moonlight Connections.
What makes Ruele great for healing:
- Revive
- Ruele’s most known and useful ability is her third skill, which allows her to revive a fallen ally to full health and grants them invincibility for one turn. But her third skill can also be used on allies who are still on the battlefield: when used on an ally who is still alive, this skill cleanses all debuffs, heals them to full health, and grants them invincibility for one turn. Ruele remains the only unit in the game with the ability to revive an ally to full health at the time of writing, making her incredibly useful.
- Bulk
- All soul weavers can be built with bulk, but Ruele is one of the easier units to meet that threshold. With her high base HP and defense, Ruele can be built tanky, so that she can stay alive longer to get her two big healing skills off cooldown. Keeping her bulky and ready to revive an ally can easily change the tide of battle.
- Three healing skills
- Ruele has three healing skills, which is rare amongst soul weavers. Her second skill is like a mini version of the third, cleansing all debuffs from the target and granting a large heal and a barrier. And her basic skill heals a small amount of HP to the ally with the lowest health - but if it is soul burned, the heal becomes larger and is granted to the entire team.

2. Diene
Diene is not your typical soul weaver. When she was first released, many players were confused about her kit, which doesn’t contain any innate healing. However, Diene possesses great utility when it comes to the buffs she provides to the team, especially after her most recent buff and her exclusive equipment. While she may be a limited unit, she is definitely worth picking up when her banner is rerun.
What makes Diene great for healing:
- Team buffs
- Diene is one of the few units in the game who can provide a critical hit resistance buff to her entire team with her third skill. Many damage-dealing units rely on critical hits - their damage is greatly neutered if they can’t crit the enemy. Add a three-turn attack buff on top of this and you can turn many units into pseudo-bruisers -then, you can add even more bulk to the team with her second skill’s barrier and debuff cleanse.
- Combat readiness manipulation
- After her recent buffs and exclusive equipment, Diene now possesses lots of combat readiness manipulation in her kit. Her third skill grants her 50% combat readiness; her second skill can grant the team 15% combat readiness if you choose that exclusive equipment option; and her basic skill increases her combat readiness by 15%, or 30% if she is buffed (and can boost the ally with the highest attack’s combat readiness by up to 10% with that exclusive equipment option). Being able to manipulate combat readiness to this extent makes Diene a certified threat in PVP game modes.
- Rod of Amaryllis
- If you want Diene to provide heals on top of her buff utility, you can easily pair her with the artifact Rod of Amaryllis. This artifact adds a healing effect to non-attack skills, meaning that Diene can heal allies when she has it equipped. While this is her most popular artifact, players also use her on the artifacts Unfading Memories or Celestine - both of which also add healing to her kit.

1. Emilia
Emilia can practically do it all - heal, cleanse, turn-cycle, push combat readiness, buff attack, provide a barrier… She is a combination of the best traits of many units in the game, all in one package. The most difficult thing about her is that she is a limited collab unit - but even with this limited status, she is a must-have unit in the game and absolutely worth pulling for when her banner returns.
What makes Emilia great for healing:
- Cleansing abilities
- With two cleansing skills in her kit, Emilia is immediately useful in many debuff-heavy scenarios. Both her second and third skills cleanse two debuffs from allies, with these effects applying before any additional heals or buffs they grant to allies. The mark of a great soul weaver in Epic Seven comes with the ability to keep their team healthy and stable - with her debuff cleansing, Emilia can do just that.
- Combat readiness and turn cycling
- Emilia has two skills that can boost combat readiness, either just for her or her and an ally. Combined with short cooldowns, particularly on her second skill, Emilia can move quickly along the battle timeline to aid her allies. If you give her the artifact Magaraha’s Tome, she can boost her combat readiness even further!
- Attack buff
- Emilia has a two-turn attack buff for a single ally on a two-turn cooldown. This means she can boost an ally’s damage every other turn, while at the same time pushing their combat readiness so that they can move quickly as well. This attack buff can be a game changer for units that either rely on high attack or just want to hit harder.
