Medics: Healing & Sustain — Arknights Guide

Understand Arknights Medics roles in healing and sustain. Learn about Single-Target and AoE Medic archetypes to keep your Operators alive against tough threats.

Medics are indispensable for keeping your operators alive, providing crucial healing and sustain. Without them, your frontline will quickly fall. Their archetypes include:

• Single-Target Medics (e.g., Hibiscus, Ansel, Kal'tsit, Shining): Heal one target at a time, often with high healing per second.
• AoE Medics (e.g., Perfumer, Ptilopsis, Nightingale): Heal multiple targets within their range simultaneously. Essential for maps with widespread damage.
• Wandering Medics (e.g., Folinic, Lumen): Unique healing mechanics, often with status cleanse or specific buffs.
• Incantation Medics (e.g., Purestream, Sussurro): High burst healing or unique healing patterns.

You'll need at least one Single-Target Medic and one AoE Medic. Hibiscus and Ansel are good starters. Perfumer is an excellent 4-star AoE Medic. For builds, prioritize increasing their ATK (which scales healing) and leveling healing skills. Modules often enhance their healing output or range.
