TLDR

A unique sustainer in Honkai Star Rail who scales of Break Effect. Gallagher isn't a full healer like Huohuo or Lynx (or other healers) since his healing isn't that mind-blowing. What makes him stand out is his Talent and Ultimate. Most of the time, Gallagher would just use his Basic Attack unless there's an ally that require immediate healing and his Ultimate isn't available yet.

First of all, his Ultimate will inflict Besotted on all enemies. With his Talent, the Besotted state increases the Break DMG that targets receive by 6%—13.2%, which is effective for Break Team with Firefly or Boothill as the main DPS. In addition, every time a Besotted target is attacked by an ally, the attacker's HP gets restored by 80—707.2. After using Ultimate, Gallagher's Basic Attack will turn into Nectar Blitz. This Basic Attack will heal all allies once it attacks the Besotted enemies, but only once per Ultimate.
