Gallagher Kit via Dimbreath byu/SexWithDoctorRatio inHonkaiStarRail_leaks

Listed below is every aspect of Gallagher’s potential kit in Honkai Star Rail, shared by dimbreath on X.

• Basic ATK: Inflicts Fire DMG on a target.
• Enhanced Basic ATK: Delas additional Fire DMG and decreases the opponent’s ATK for fixed turns.
• Skill: Gallagher heals allies up to a certain portion of his ATK stat.
• Ultimate: Upon activation, Gallagher deals Fire DMG while inflicting a debuff on enemies, which increases their Break DMG taken for a few turns. The ability further enhances his Basic ATK.

Gallagher’s talent will potentially heal an active teammate up to a portion of his ATK when the Ultimate's debuff is active. It can further restore allies’ HP if he unleashes his enhanced Basics. One of his passives will also improve his healing amount for low HP characters.
