Learn how to effectively use First Aid, Advanced First Aid, and Master First Aid in Mass Effect: Legendary Edition. Understand talent levels, costs, and recharge times.

Alright, let's talk about keeping your squad alive and kicking in Mass Effect: Legendary Edition. First Aid is one of those core abilities you'll want to understand, especially when things get hairy. It's all about managing your medi-gel and knowing when to deploy it.

Basically, First Aid is your go-to for healing wounded party members. At its base level, it restores 40 health, but it gets way better as you invest in it. Keep in mind, it has a 20-second recharge time and costs 30% of your accuracy to use, plus one unit of medi-gel. You'll need to use this ability 50 times to snag the 'First Aid Specialist' achievement, so get used to hitting that button!
