Restores Party HP Based on Defense

Chaos Zero Nightmare - Defense Stat
Heal is a keyword that restores the party HP based only on defense. Healing can also be increased by card effects such as Mika's Tactical Analysis card where it can increase all healing of all cards for a turn.

Reduces Stress After Healing

Restoring health reduces stress by 1-6 based on the healing amount. Higher healing amount means greater stress reduction. However, whoever gets the stress reduction is randomized.

How to Reduce or Increase Stress

Will Not Reduce Stress When At Full Health

Stress reduction from healing will not activate if the party HP is full. As long as your party HP is not full any healing amount will reduce stress. For example, even if you have 1234/1235 HP and you healed for 1000, it will still give you the highest stress reduction of 6.

Effects Activate Even When Overhealing

Effects that activate when healed will still occur even at full HP. For example, Tressa's Shadow Reload will still activate when you heal at full HP.

Will Not Activate Recover When At Full Health

The recover keyword needs HP to be restored for it to activate. Any healing amount past the full HP will not activate it.

List of Healer Characters

Primary Healer

Character Explanation
Mika All Mika's cards provides or improves healing. It is best to improve her cards in other aspects such as more AP recovery or stress healing rather than improving its healing.
► Mika Best Team and Build
Orlea Orlea's main healing source comes from her creation, Toughie that provides heals at turn end. Multiple copies of Toughie will increase her healing output at the cost of hand space.
► Orlea Best Team and Build
Nia Nia's main source of healing comes from her basic card Amp Therapy and thanks to her Potential 3-1 granting it Elasticity, which adds more healing to the party for every extra attack.
► Nia Best Team and Build

Secondary Healer

Character Explanation
Kayron Futility (Attack) also has a heal making him a sub-healer that can attack and sustain the team at the same time. 3-4 futilities per turn is enough to heal off most attacks.
► Kayron Best Team and Build
Rei Rei needs Manifest Ego 2 to be a decent healer so she can buff and heal the party after using an attack card at the same time every turn however, without it, she only has access to Snack Time to heal the team.
► Rei Best Team and Build
Cassius Cassius needs Manifest Ego 2 to heal the team consistently. Without it, he only has access to Dice Trick as his main source of healing. However, since his cards is all about drawing cards, once you have his Manifest Ego 2 he can heal the party every draw.
► Cassius Best Team and Build

Weird that Dmg is naturally atk, shield is defense, so you would think healing would be HP... not defense... ugghhh.
