Malroth and Ewwnicorn are recommended for top picks in the L size category (while Ewwnicorn is alright for midgame in the S Size category).

Malroth can serve an attacker-healer role with his attacks and Moreheal, while Ewwnicorn can serve as a strong dedicated support healer with Multiheal.

Best Monsters Tier List

Health Professional is a Recommended Trait

Any monster can play a role as dedicated healer in the story so as long as you have built your monster and the party to have some form of recovery or healer-related traits.

This ability to heal is bolstered with the Health Professional trait, and will make it easier for you to clear the story with a monster in your party inheriting this trait.

Let healers like Healslime, who can be found early in the Circle of Temper, Lower Echelon, learn high-ranking magic as the story progresses.

Healing is Optional in Early Game

Clearing out enemies quickly by boosting your monsters' attacks and having them using strong all-out attacks are enough in surviving through the early-game, so there is no need to force yourself to immediately organize a party with a healer.

You can start considering dedicated healers in your strategy much later into the story. For now, some monsters you encounter may be able to learn some basic recovery skills like Heal, so you can have them in your party first.

Heal and Midheal for Early Game Recovery

Skill Effect
Heal Restores 28 or more HP to a single ally.

Basic healing skills such as those above are recommended for early game since they are not expensive on MP. Several monsters are also capable of learning these skills, such as the Healslime.

Talent Availability
Supreme Healer Combination of Healer or Paramedic Cure-All
Mystic From monsters Clawvus and Phoenix

It is ideal to have a healer learn healing skills like Multiheal paired with talents such as Supreme Healer or Mystic. These talents should be easy to acquire once you have reached the late-game, and is recommended to learn if you get stuck in the main story.

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.
