Tutorial:Healer Guide

Healers are a very important class relying on regenerating their teammates so they can, on their turn, protect the Healer. But healers do need to be able to deal damage. For example, if all other teammates died, the healer will have to survive, which is somewhat more difficult without damage, as healers do not do much. The healer may have to be able to flee as a result from this lack of damage and ending up being overwhelmed by mobs, and needs a good amount of. However, it is recommended to not focus on dealing damage, since Healers do not do much by default, meaning it may be better to focus on Effective Health so you can live long enough.

Armor

 * Diamond Atom - This reforge stone adds a good amount of . If one is too poor to buy a Diamond Atom, they can also use a Rare Diamond which adds less but is far cheaper. You can also reforge your armor to Heavy, which gives the same amount of defense but costs some  and . However, this is not recommended since Rare Diamonds are very cheap.


 * Sadan's Brooch - It grants the same bonuses as the Titanic reforge with the addition of increasing the power of your heals by 10%. While these bonuses stack, it's not recommended to reforge more than 1 piece to Empowered as you'll gain very little Effective Health.


 * Premium Flesh - This reforge stone is inexpensive, but it is not as tanky and cheap as a Rare Diamond. However, it does grant and, while also giving a good amount of  and . It also reduces damage taken from Undead mobs, which are common in dungeons.


 * Necromancer's Brooch - If one wants to use mage weapons, they will need a good amount of, which is still possible, but not recommended, since can cost a lot of healing per second. It can still be smart to use a necromancer's brooch. If this makes the user too squishy, they may want to use the wise reforge or the smart reforge instead. Wise gives in addition to  and Smart not only gives health but  too. A healer always can use intelligence for healing items costing mana, and for the Aspect of the End, so they can escape heavy fights.


 * Red Nose - Secretly, the Red Nose actually grants a lot of and also  at the cost of  . The Red Nose gives  and  and when one sneaks, they reduce their  by 20 for 20 seconds but in return, obtain for those same 20 seconds  and . It is most likely better to use another reforge as Losing any Crit Chance is not good. It can only be used on helmets.


 * Giant Tooth - The Giant Tooth adds a lot of, and even combined with a  Blue Whale Pet, which can massively boost effective health.


 * Dragon Scale -It's an improved version of the Pure reforge that grants a bit of all stats. the Dragon Horn does the same thing with the addition of increasing all your stats by 1%.
 * Fierce: A cheap and easy reforge to get, it can help boost damage if the healer is confident with their ability to survive.
 * Precursor Gear: It provides a great deal of, even surpassing the Dragon Horn despite being significantly cheaper. Use this reforge if you are willing to sacrifice some surviability that the Giant Tooth or Diamond Atom would provide, and have some money.

Swords

 * Every single reforge is acceptable, except for - It is not recommended to use the Odd reforge since Sharp does almost the same, and Odd reduces.
 * If paired with a Baby Yeti pet, the Withered reforge is the best.

Talismans

 * Unpleasant (Blacksmith) - It is the 5th best damage reforge for -  accessories, however it only grants a small amount of  and no damage buffs. It is recommended to only apply this to some talismans if the player only needs a bit more.
 * Bloody (Beating Heart) - It is the 2nd best damage reforge since it grants, , and.
 * Silky (Luxurious Spool) - it is the 4th best damage reforge since it grants a good amount of, however, it lacks.

How to play healer
Healer is a class that needs some brain power and coordination and in here we will show you how to play effectively!


 * When in danger you have 2 options which are, ask for help (only parties with spirit leaps/near you can help you) /run away. (best way)
 * Pop in a wish when someone's low, however don't pop in a wish when everyone is not in danger. (only exception is maybe pre-boss fight)
 * When someone is low but wish is on cd, Don't use a Spirit Leap since they can usually survive on their own. You might also die if you leap.
 * As with all other classes, learn secrets.

The Catacombs - Floor I
Rotten Armor or any of the Dragon Armor and a Mender Helmet/Crystallized Heart work well on Floor 1, the healing provided by the heart mirrors that of the Mender Fedora unlocked at. It may be a good idea to use Holy Dragon Armor if you are focusing on healing others as it grants 3x natural regeneration if within range and is the cheapest but the 2nd/3rd most underrated Dragon Set


 * Additionally, you may also rely on or  Heavy Armor, with the Titanic reforge for a tank-healer hybrid, or the Smart reforge for Intelligence and some.

The Catacombs - Floor II
- Heavy Armor should be a goal before carrying on to floor 3. your personal health is the biggest concern than that of your team since if you die, who will heal/revive your team? Until, increasing your personal healing is a more difficult task. The Ornate Zombie Sword is an item you should already be using, due to its incredible healing ability, which also heals nearby players.

The Catacombs - Floor III
Once you have completed your Heavy Armor with Mender Helmet, you may rely on that armor set until you reach. While it may be difficult to afford variants, Zombie Soldier Armor is a versatile armor set for practically every class. The Necrotic reforge for floor 3 on Zombie Soldier Chestplate, Leggings, and Boots coupled with Mender Helmet allow for a ranged mage arsenal to handle the four Guardians in floor 3, but Fierce/Pure, Perfect/Reinforced or Titanic/Heavy may be changed if you do not use mage weapons. Floor 3 contains Shadow Assassins, which can be very deadly, so make sure you stay on the lookout. It is recommended to use a tankier pet. (most players recommend Blue Whale Pet)

The Catacombs - Floor IV
By now you should have Zombie Soldier Chestplate, Leggings, and Boots with a Mender Helmet. Floor 4 is where the Mender Helmet is left behind, replaced by the Mender Fedora and where your Zombie Soldier Armor is left behind, replaced by Adaptive Armor. Once you can get a Mender Fedora, you will double all Healing done to yourself and your team, Unlike the previous Mender Helmet which only increased healing to teammates and ONLY teammates.

The Catacombs - Floor V
Floor 5 introduces Shadow Assassin Armor, a very prominent armor set for both berserk and archer. Before you start this floor it is recommended to get a F6 carry.

You can use a T9+ Perfect Chestplate, Zombie Kight Chestplate, or even Super heavy Chestplate if you don't have eough money. Werewolf Armor is also viable in this floor if combined with Tiger Pet if you have a high level.

The Catacombs - Floor VI
This floor is incredibly difficult to get into. is everything on floor 6. Another armor set that is very good for healers on F6 is the Werewolf Armor Set paired with a high level Tiger Pet that is or. The of the armor will buff your  as well as heal your teammates. Another item that becomes available is the Lesser Orb of Healing. While a Lesser Orb of Healing is fairly cheap, commonly players do not have the level to use it until this floor. If you still struggle to survive, attaching a tether to a teammate, placing a Power Orb (preferably a Mana Flux, and then activating Syphon/Lifesteal should be able to let you survive.

The Catacombs - Floor VII
This is the floor where you will leave the Mender Fedora behind, now say hello to Mender Crown! On Floor 7, you need a healer most of the time. A Livid Dagger should do for a weapon, although a Shadow Fury is a bit more expensive, but is a better damaging sword (you can also use Bonemerangs but it is expensive). Once you complete Floor 7, you can swap to Storm, Goldor, or Necron armor depending on if you're using , or being a. For Around 650k-1m should do fine. A Blue Whale is recommended to survive F7.

 * Tiger Pet - It's useful if paired with Werewolf Armor.
