Gradual Healing

Gradual Healing (commonly referred to as “Heal over Time” or “HoT”) is a buff and a passive that restores HP at the end of the player’s turn.

Similar to Burst Healing, Gradual Healing buffs have base maximum and minimum values to determine the heal amount along with a value relative to the healer’s Rec added to it. Gradual Healing takes in effect after Additional Damage (Damage over Time) and Poison damage.

Gradual Healing can also be activated at the start of the player’s turn with the use of spheres and SP Enhancements, such as Sacrilege Orb, Diamond Key, one of Howling Wolf Zekt’s SP Enhancements, etc.

A counterpart of Gradual Healing is Burst Healing.

Formula
The formula for heal over time is as follows: Final Healing = RandomBetween(Minimum Base Heal, Maximum Base Heal) + (Total REC * REC Bonus)

Interactions with Damage over Time
Gradual Healing takes effect after Damage over Time; however, if the unit were to reach 0 HP from Damage over Time, Heal over Time will not take effect due to the unit being dead before the effect can be applied.

Interactions with Shields
Shields that have taken damage cannot restore HP. Thus, Gradual Healing cannot heal lost HP from the Shield buff.

Tips
Gradual Healing can be used to combat Damage over Time (DoT) debuffs. Trials and Strategy Zones tend to feature bosses that have DoT debuffs to wear down the player’s team’s HP.
