Regen ( status ) Regen is a recurring status that constantly restores HP at a set interval . Characters afflicted by Regen gradually recover HP over time , however , it has the exact opposite effect if the target is undead , where it gradually reduces one ' s HP , as if poisoned . In some cases , Regen is ineffective against an undead . Regen is the opposite of Sap . The most common way to apply the Regen status is through the spell of the same name , Regen . Appearances . " Final Fantasy IV " . The Regen status can only be gotten through Fusoya ' s Regen command , which disables him while the Regen status is in effect on the party for a period of time . The party will periodically recover 10 HP at set intervals . Once the status is lifted , Fusoya will once again be able to input commands . The Regen status cannot be removed , but will be lifted when a certain amount of time has passed . " Final Fantasy V " . Regen is achieved through the spell of the same name , the accessory Protect Ring , or through the Mix ability Water of Life ( through combining a Potion and Hi - Potion ) . There is no visible indication of the status in effect , except for the occasional healing . Regen is one of the few spells that may heal undead , and can bypass immunity to the status with the help of the Dragon Armor mix . The formula for Regen is as follows : The Mighty March from the Bard ' s Sing skillset applies a Regen effect on the party for as long as the Bard is singing . " Final Fantasy VI " . Regen is achieved through the spell of the same name , by summoning Kirin , or by a character equipping the Angel Ring or Miracle Shoes relics . The amount of HP recovered through Regen is as follows : HP gained through Regen occurs approximately every 8 . 5 seconds . Note that if a character has immunity to Regen , they also gain immunity to Sap , and vice versa , and the other status can never be applied during battle . " Final Fantasy VII " . A unit under Regen will have their HP continually increase while they glow in orange until the status wears off . Unlike most games with Regen status , which restore 1 / 32 of a character ' s max HP every 4 seconds , Regen in " Final Fantasy VII " causes HP to continuously rise until the effect wear off . If an enemy attacks a character under the effect of Regen , the resulting HP loss is calculated from the HP that character had " when the attack began " , even though their HP continues to increase during the attack animation . This explains why the resulting HP may appear inaccurate . The player can only cast Regen through the Regen ability . The effect of Regen , like Poison , is not attached to any element . The Regen status is unrelated to the Restorative element and will still heal Undead enemies ( those who absorb Restorative , thus reversing its effects ) . " Final Fantasy VIII " . Regen can only be achieved through the spell of the same name or through Quistis Trepe ' s Limit Break , Mighty Guard . Regen will restore 5 % Max HP every 80 x BattleSpeed ticks ( a tick is a 1 / 60th of a second ) , resulting in the status restoring 80 % max HP ( 16 times per cast ) . The status lasts for around 21 . 3 seconds . " Final Fantasy IX " . The White Magic spell Regen , the Flair ability Aura , the Dragon ability Reis ' s Wind , and the support ability Auto - Regen are the ways for the party to gain Regen status . Regen is more effective the higher the unit ' s Spirit , and keeps on restoring health even during battle animations , allowing the party to easily regain their health by summoning an eidolon . Regen normally restores roughly 1 / 16th of the target ' s Max HP . " Final Fantasy X " . Regen is a status that restores a small amount of HP at the start of a turn from any unit in battle , and lasts until the unit takes its tenth turn after receiving the status . The amount of HP restored is between 100 and a tenth of the unit ' s maximum HP , and it can potentially break the upper damage limit of 99 , 999 when bestowed on enemies who have over a million HP . The spell Regen , the item Healing Spring , the Mix abilities Super Mighty G and Hyper Mighty G , and the Auto - Abilities SOS Regen and Auto - Regen grant Regen status to party members .
