## Strategy

### DPS (58 Hero Points)

This is an aoe burst damage medic build. Its assist and damage output is decent in its downtime. This build is good in modes with large numbers of enemies such as Open, Defense 3, and Survival.

Use ability points in skills and Power Up. Buy energy regeneration, health, maximum energy, and damage. Buying cooldown reduction, Resistor, Defensive Barrier, Personal Cloaking Device, and Energykit is optional.

When a dense cluster of enemies is about to enter a choke point, use T, spam R, and then spam E and W towards the enemy.

### Full Team Revival and Tank Healing Assist (68 Hero Points)

This is a build that focuses on supporting the team, surviving enemy hits, and bringing the whole team back to life when up against strong foes. This build is better in modes where the team can recover after devastating losses such as Boss Rush, Open, and Wave.

Use ability points on Defense Up. Buy energy regeneration, cooldown reduction, and healing. Buying movement speed, Defensive Barrier, Maximize Defense, Personal Cloaking Device, Restoration, Medkit, Medkit L, Energykit, Medical Package Beacon is optional.

Always use Inject Accelerators when it's off cooldown. Hold Q and spam left click on the tank when they're low on health to heal them. However, slow down the clicks as they're being healed so you don't waste health overhealing. Use Z on yourself during or after healing allies to quickly restore your own health.

When the team is about to be overrun, run away, circle around, then cast T and use R on all allies, starting with yourself, and then prioritizing fallen allies.
