Best Healer ?

guardsman2011

Who do you think the best healer? After play for months, there are my experience about them

1- Aishah
-Her ultimate is the best healing overtime, with ~ 100 AT first, and 2 turn after that with 40% AT each turn, for entire team. But if her ultimate come more often than 3 turn, the effect of 2 turns heal overtime does not stack. This healing set as 1 hit, so its insane when crit.
-Her normal Skill heal 3 target with about ~ 80% AT, and give them 10% DR for 2 turn, and its cooldown is 2 turn too? This is really a strong skill, total healing is about 250% AT, and it give a buff of 10% DR.
-Her passive is strong too, steal 200 rage each 2 turn, its too good for a healer.
-Overall, she is good tanker healer at bot front spot, and less effective at mid or top front, because her healing is about healing overtime. The normal skill is also count as an aura 10% DR for 3 members as long as shes alive.

2- Thera
-Her ultimate is best healing aoe at once, with ~ 150% AT for entire team. The healing is set as 4 hits, so make its very stable healing even when crit triggers.
-Her normal skill Heal 1 target with 200% AT, cooldown 2 turns, and remove all debuff on the target. This skill is decent, total amount of healing is not high because it easy to be waste by overheal, only the effect remove debuff is nice.
-Her passive give 10% DR entire team for 2-4 turns (depend on upgrade), not so bad. But if the fight becomes longer, its obsoleted.
-Thera suit best for the top or mid front spot tanker, those spot that take heavy damaged. Her ultimate is not limited by overtime effect like Aishah, so more damage, more rage, more heal.


3- Flora
-Her ultimate heals 2 targets with huge amount of healing, buff rage and attack. Its easy to see shes the best for 3 characters team.
-Her normal skill heal 1 target each turn, also give rage. Thats mean she doenst have normal strike, but thats great, because who need healer does some useless weak normal strike and feed enemy some rage?
-Her passive maybe the strongest of them all, 250 rage each turn, more ultimate, and make ultimate be the most effective compare to others healer.
-Flora, like Thera, is suit for heavy tank spots. Shes the best at counter shock, focus, spike damage, therefore, the disadvantage of her is to counter aoe damage, shes need atleast 2 turns to heal entire team.

4- Main character
-Main character for healing is meta now, i think. Why? because we need 1 healer and 1 supporter, and while there are 3 mythic heroes, the supporter is a must, there is only 1 option left is replace healer with your main.
-MC healing skill is combine and better version of those 3 healer, bigger amount of aoe healing due to MC AT, with better effect (15% DR with Emerald set). Normal skill is strong too.
-The only real disadvantage of MC healer is the bonus stats from augument for MC is balance, not tank focus like 3 healers, so you waste some small amount of potential for main character. But who care?
-MC healer is not too tanky, so he can stand on the bot front spot.

So, after analysis, i give mark to the healers
1 Main Character: ultimate 10, normal 10, passive 10, tank 6. Total 36
2 Aishah:  ultimate 9, normal 8, passive 8, tank 9. Total 34
3 Flora: ultimate 7, normal 9, passive 9, tank 9. Total 34
4 Thera: ultimate 8, normal 7, passive 7, tank 9. Total 33

Whats your opinion?

P/S: After thinking awhile, i remove MC with costume out of poll, its better

You've made a few errors in your analysis. The 3 legendary healers do not have the same stats, defensively. Thera overall has the highest survivability, with Flora having the lowest, Aishah being in the middle. Offensively, their stats are also different, with Flora having the most, Thera having slightly less, and Aishah getting absolutely crushed by both of them. Also, your analysis of main characters in general is far off. They're absurdly defensive in comparison to other heroes. Main characters inherently have lower ATK and higher DEF than all non-tank heroes, with the same level of upgrades and gear, unless you invest massively in outfits, mounts, and accessories.. then main characters are equal in ATK, and much much higher in DEF in comparison. Overall, when comparing the 3 healers with main character as healer, the only one that could be argued to be worse than main is Flora. Aishah is healing more, and providing DR, plus reducing enemy rage, and Thera is healing a ridiculous amount more.

In short, your rankings are way off... Thera is by far the best healer in the game, with Flora and main fighting for last place, with Aishah in a distant 2nd from both ends.

Still I like Flora a lot. She can counter focused damage, which I consider te most dangerous one. Also, no one mentioned that that Aishas heal over time can't crit.

Reply guardsman2011 :In the Abyss, 2% DR worths 5% HP and 3% DR worths 10% HP. You shouldn't ignore the small differences. Adding them up will create an obvious difference.

I think the formular is different. There is nothing prove that 2% DR worth 10% HP, its just the cost of stars in abyss. In fact, 10% DR means 11.11% more HP, 20% DR means 25% more HP, so on, 50% DR that mean 100% more HP, ... But remember, DR can be counter by Dam Increase, example, if enemy have dam +30%, and you have 45% DR, thats mean you take -15% damage.

Reply guardsman2011 : So your argument is that people paid money into this game therefore are good at strategy? That's flawed beyond belief. Money won't make you smart, but it can make you strong in this game. The top formations are all hyper heavy cashers, meaning that they never needed to learn the game to succeed... they can just buy their wins, so most never learned how to actually play, learn the game mechanics, or strategize.

Hey, im not talking about casher or free player, Im talking about the best possible healer, by cash or not.
Everybody agree that cash doesnt make people smarter, but it provide a wider range of choices, and BR.
If you notice, that my P/S said that i remove the choice of Main Healer, so we could talk about 3 healer, not the Main Healer with cash, ok?

Just converting DR% into HP% is incorrect. You could calculate it like this, if there was no healing. But there is, and it actually is the topic of this thread. DR helps your healer to keep up, HP doesn't. So 20%DR is worth much more than 20% (or 25%) HP.

Guardsman, if you were talking about the best possible healer with or without cash, that's Thera with 0 question. Flora cannot handle AoE even remotely, and both main healer and Aishah can't get close to Thera's healing. As I've said many times... Thera is without question the best HEALER... however aishah, flora, and main all have support skills, whereas Thera really doesn't. To be frank, main healer is nice, for midas players, but both Aishah and Thera can do the heals better, and main characters are amazing as dps heroes thanks to accessory skills. As a side note, if something works best for VIP 0, that means it's the most efficient path, which also means that it would be the best for cash players as well. If something does NOT work for VIP 0 yet works for cash players, that means it's a very poor build that only works if you overpower the enemy, meaning that they'd do far better using a different build.

I'm not an expert on strategy, but I'm suprised that on a discussion about healers there's no mention about supports. It's a healer's job to keep the team alive, and the supports all help their healer with that in some way or another:

Kay can help Aishnah a lot by increasing dodge and stunning an enemy DPS. Every dodge and stunned DPS means less damage that Aishnah needs to heal back. She can be a bit unreliable at times (dodge is partly luckbased, and stun doesn't work on some pve bosses, Pamela and Pandora), but most of the time Kay does help quite a bit with reducing the damage that team takes, making Aishnah's life easier.

Liz feeds a lot of rage to Thera so she can spam more of those superheals. She also stuns, but mainly the rage gain is what helps Thera.

Athena's shields negate a fair ammount of damage to all teammembers, and they really make up for Flora's downside of only targeting 2 heroes. The 40% DR buff also helps keep a damaged hero alive, but mainly the shields are a huge help for Flora. Without them I think it's a safe assumption Flora could not keep 5 heroes alive against a strong enemy.

Of course you don't have to match all heroes to be of the same nation, and even if you do, the MC can be in any nation. And yes I realise this thread is a discussion about healers, not supports, but since they help the healer so much in their role of keeping the party alive by making up for the healer's weaknesses and/or giving extra survivability to the team, I don't think they should be left out of the discussion...

You did not consider the fact that Aishah is weakened when dealing with single target enemies such as llane, the demon set for MC, and Pamela's attack

Similarly Flora has hard time with AoE attackers like Moira, or Victoria

Asking which healer is best or which character is best is rather like asking how long is a piece of string ;) All three healers have their strengths and weaknesses and given a particular situation one healer might be better than another.  Plus the overall team setup, of which the healer is one cog in the machine, has as much an impact on which healer is better as the actual healer themselves...

Great to see a discussion like this though
