I'll help settle the score, as Breloom stated and I backed up his statements as I have all the healers on jp and merely 2 on global. Each healer provides their own assistance along with healing. Phoenix atks, lancia gives atk buff, themis elemental, altri status ailment debuff etc. Whether the second ability is necessary is in regards to your team. Now as a broad statement, majority of teams you create should be crit teams or bb spam teams. That being said, certain healers help those type of teams more efficiently. Which is why a more defensive healer, if needed, is considered overall better then maybe an offensive healer like phoenix, whose input in the battle is not needed when compared to the defense buff or elimo which would save you from death in maxwell. Also this is in regards to your own specific team. You may not have units that already increase spark damage, or atk buffs or add elemental damage which I personally feel sorry for you (i know the feel). So here's my list based on "Healing effectivity," sbb fill rate and added abilities(not including leader skill and stats because I'm lazy). Arius>Elimo>Tree>Themis>Lancia>Tiara>Rashil>Dean>Phoenix>Alice.
