Doomsday: Last Survivors – Healing and It’s Effectiveness Explained

When Healing Is Effective?

The more troops we bring (or the more troops we heal) will increase out chance of winning which hopefully was the plan from the beginning.

If you bring a bigger squad you trade better from turn 1. Healing just means you can maintain your initial trade back rate at best, which is low.

It used to be my observation that healing would over a long fight pay off because by turn 50 say, your remaining squad is far larger than the opponents because you keep topping it off.

Usually fights don’t pan out that way anymore (mostly because vehicles severely skewed the wounded rate for both sides it seems).

Healer heroes like thunder, or even tom, have VERY low offensive capabilities. If you use thunder in your squad you cut your skill damage in half (0 skill factor). Skill damage is over 50% of the total damage in any fight.

So you’re trading somewhere around 25% damage, for some ok defensive boosts, little bit of counter damage boost (which is only around 25% or less of your total damage in a 1v1).

Him cutting enemy attack, even by a significant amount, is far less impactful than just bringing 25% more damage by picking literally any other hero that’s not raigoro or tom

So you reduce the efficacy of your trades, then add the ability to keep funneling lightly wounded troops that heal for free into your heavy wounded pool. All of them trading worse than just using a damage hero.

Shield heroes sort of balance out because you don’t have that funneling cycle, and in raigoros case he has a significant damage boost (total damage, not attack, and not an attack debuff) with his massive shield up

So a healer makes a fight take way longer. But costs a lot more troops to do it.

Useful in key situations.
