Caraglow

## Overview

With access to Critical Healing and multiple skills that allow it to apply buffs on crit, Caraglow fills the role of a strong healer and support, able to keep its teammates healthy while boosting their damage with buffs and possibly Charge stacks. It can either apply Charge stacks to the team with a Light-shifted healer build, which also has the advantage of being able to remove debuffs, or build combo with Bite, which is a better buffer thanks to doing more hits.

However, both of Caraglow's builds are crit-based supports, which have lower toughness than traditional supports because they need to itemize into crit chance.

## Healer

#### Equipment

* Fan / Hammer
* Tambourine
* Buckler / Sun Pendant
* Coat / Sun Pendant

### Build Details

This build excels at enabling its allies. It can use Restore to clear debuffs and heal an ally (while staying healthy itself thanks to Healing Link) and buff them with Mentor, Critical Boon, and Maneki while applying Charge stacks thanks to Heal Charging. Healing Wave allows it to keep the entire team healthy while providing the most opportunities for crits. Improved Glory allows it to make further use of Maneki (notably boosting its own healing)

Fan offers the best healing output, while Hammer provides extra toughness and utility. Tambourine provides both of the stats we need as well as boosting our healing, Buckler gives crit and toughness while allowing us to stack an additional Barrier buff, Coat provides both of the stats we need, while Sun Pendant gives a lot of passive shielding to this build.

### Team Options

* Healer Caraglow wants to be paired with allies that have buff and Charge synergies as well as providing the Multi Buff auras it lacks. Goblin Miner is a good partner, providing multi Glory to work with Caraglow's Maneki and supporting its Charge with Charged Banner, while being able to shield the team. Sutsune can assist with healing and debuff removal and appreciates Caraglow's Glory support, while Bard has fantastic buff support and appreciates Caraglow's healing.
* Caraglow wants damage dealers who appreciate buffs and Charge stacks, have multi buff skills and aren't so frail as to require shielding (something Caraglow isn't good at providing). Good examples of this include Silvaero, Koi, and Rampede.
* In PvE, Caraglow is one of the classic members of the Brutus team that's used for taking down champions and pushing in the Infinity Arena, but in PvP, Caraglow supporting Brutus is often overkill and leaves you vulnerable to harmful stacks, so it's not recommended as much.

## Combo Builder

#### Equipment

* Hammer
* Coat / Bead Chain
* Tambourine
* Gauntlet

### Build Details

This build forgoes direct healing and loses the ability to clear debuffs but has a number of advantages over the healing build. The first being that while the light build can generate 11 combo with Healing Wave, this build can generate 14 combo with its Bite, and with Critical Apex boosting its Crit Chance, it's a much more consistent buffer. Bite being an attack also allows this build to easily clear enemy Protect for its team, while it loses the team Revive from its ultimate, Carnage is useful as well, having even higher combo potential, and because the healing is applied after the damage, Critical Apex can boost that heal into the 3000 range for the whole team, providing a massive team heal in addition to many buffs.

### Team Options

* Combo Caraglow wants to be paired with a healer that has multiple Multi buff auras, like Dodo, Bard, Thanatos, or Megataur. Since it can't remove debuffs, passive debuff removal from its teammates like Curse Breaker or Megataur's Buffing Restore is a big help.
* It works well with similar types of damage dealers as the other build, ones with a combination of buff support and liking Charge stacks.

## Checks and Counters

* Both builds are vulnerable to debuff stall, the combo builder especially because it doesn't have restore and will often be attacking into Hexed Touch effects, but the healer build relies on its natural Mana Regeneration and so is vulnerable to Chill
