Criteria for Ranking Healers

Evaluated Based on Traits, Stats, and Talents

Traits ★★★	Monsters with suitable traits will absolutely affect their healing skills in the long run. Additional traits that can also help a monster contribute in a party's offensive capabilities are also factored in.
Stats ★★	High stats are considered in the ranking evaluation (with consderation for their maximum stats). Monsters particularly high Wisdom and healing power are focused on. Monster resistances are also factored in the evaluation.
Talents ★	Valuable talents will get a monster higher in the ranking, and can be considered for a higher grading when it synergizes well early with a trait. However, talents can vary, so they will not have as much impact as other criteria.

Evaluation for healer monsters are based on three key points: traits, stats, and unique skills.

Large emphasis is placed on traits, since these, while can also hard to obtain due to being nonhereditary from synthesis, can directly affect a monster's performance, and have a large impact to the outcome of the battle.

Why Have a Healer Monster?

Exploration is Easier with Healers

In early game, difficulty may increase as your monsters decrease in health and strength as you continuously engage in battles, so it is recommended to have at least two (2) monsters with recovery skills in formation and some also on standby to ensure a good strategy.

Essential for Boss Fights and Arenas

Boss fights and arenas are long, drawn-out battles, so it is recommended that you have a one (1) or two (2) healers in your formation to keep your party alive throughout the battle.

It is also a good idea to train and specialize some monsters with recovery skills for certain situations such as having Squelch for curing members poisoned by enemies.
