Decimator II 4 Restores health when destroying a wound on a large monster.

Guardian Arkveld's Vitality Set Bonus Effects

Decimator is a skill that allows the Hunter to heal a set amount of health when breaking wounds. The heal will be either 25HP on Level 1 and 50HP on Level 2. This will rely heavily on actually opening wounds first though, so it may be very inconsistent.

Destroy Wounds to Restore HP

Skill Level HP Recovered
Decimator I 25 HP
Decimator II 50 HP

Decimator heals a set amount when destroying wounds. To wound monsters, you have to attack a specific part of the monster until it shows scars or scratches. Hitting wounds enough times will destroy them, and Decimator will heal HP depending on how many Guardian Arkveld armor pieces you have equipped. This appears to be affected by Recovery Up but cannot be shared to other hunters with Wide-Range.

Is there any synergy between Decimator and Friendship? I'm assuming not, but I don't know, maybe the game considers the heals an item use.
