Class Rating is the speed at which each character ranks up an individual class, so the lower their Class Rating, the slower it takes for them to rank up the class.

How to Unlock War Medic

Recruit Valdi by Completing Their Hero Quest

War Medic is the default class of Valdi, a hero in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. To unlock this class and equip it to your main characters, you must first complete their Hero Quest: The Kind Right Hand.

After you unlock this class, it will have a rank cap of 10, so you are unable to upgrade its Arts and skills further than that rank. To break the rank cap and extend the limit up to Rank 20, you must first complete the quest I'm a Mechanic.

Best War Medic Characters

Recommended Characters
EunieEunie TaionTaion

Eunie and Taion are recommended War Medics due to their high Healing Power stats. Though Lanz has a high Class Rating, he is less recommended for this class due to his low Healing Power stat.

Best War Medic Arts

Recommended Combat Arts

Art Attack Type AoE Base Effect
Multi BlastMulti Blast Ether Attack One Target Heals nearby allies when Art hits, to max of 100% of Healing Power.
Advanced CooldownAdvanced Cooldown Set Field AOE around User Field range of effect - small
Cure BulletCure Bullet Clear Debuffs AOE around User None

The best Arts for War Medics are those that can be used to support the rest of the team. Cure Bullet is an excellent Art because it clears all debuffs and protects your party from additional debuffs.

Multi Blast is the preferred Healing Art for War Medics because it can also be used as an offensive Art, one of the few that the class has.

Recommended Master Arts

Rank 1 and 10 Master Arts

Art Base Effect Class Rank
OverfallOverfall Ether Def. Down
Rank 10
No Love LostNo Love Lost Physical Def. down
Rank 1
Resonant FlagResonant Flag Share own buffs
Rank 10

War Medics do not have many offensive arts at their disposal, so it is important to supplement their Art sets with powerful offensive Master Arts. However, it is best that these arts also inflict decent buffs or debuffs so they can provide additional support for the team.

Since most of the buffs inflicted by War Medics have limited range, using Resonant Flag to share these buffs with all allies is recommended.

Rank 20 Master Arts

Art Base Effect Class Rank
SoulfireSoulfire Heal all on hit / Atk down
Rank 20

Though War Medic already has an excellent Talent Art, it you plan on replacing it with a different Rank 20 Master Art, we recommend Soulfire for improved Healing and the Attack Down debuff.

Best Master Skills for War Medic Builds

Ethereal AbilityEthereal Ability Boosts damage dealt by ether Arts by 30%.

Strengthening GambitStrengthening Gambit Extends duration of buff effects issued by 30%.
Rank 5

Like most Healers, War Medics have Arts that have high aggro, which makes them a target for many enemies, so it best to reduce their aggro as much as possible. Ethereal Ability is also useful since many of their Arts are Ether Attacks.

Once you are able to rank up some of your classes to 20, some of your Master Skills can be replaced with these extremely useful Rank 15 skills. In particular, Abundant Oceans is an great skill, but it is only unlocked in the post game.

Best Accessories for War Medic Builds

Reduced aggro from Healing Arts Boost Amount of HP Healed Boost Amount of HP Healed
Friendship RingFriendship Ring Harvest NecklaceHarvest Necklace Long-Range MemoryLong-Range Memory

As mentioned previously, Healing Arts tend to have high aggro values, so accessories that reduce it are ideal for Healers. The rest of your team can also benefit from accessories that boost the amount of HP healed by their Arts.

Since War Medics are mostly long-ranged combatants, increasing their range to keep them away from harm is best.

Because War Medics not only specialize in healing, but also other buff and debuff inflicting Arts, it is recommended to use gems that can increase the effectiveness of their Arts overall.
