Hard-counters Arts DPS enemies, but has no utility beyond that. Since enemy Casters and their ilk tend to be extremely nasty, there are many situations where Nightingale's unique powers get a chance to sing. While AoE healers are important team members, other AoE healers are arguably less niche than Nightingale, especially given their significantly reduced investment requirements compared to the 6★. That being said, AoE Arts mitigation is extremely rare, and it absolutely trivializes any enemy that deals Arts damage.

Nightingale is primarily a preventative healer who may, in some situations, underperform compared to lower-rarity Medics, especially when there is no Arts damage involved. Her second Talent, Fleeting Phantom, enables some interesting strategic play, as it creates phantoms that she can place on the map to draw enemy fire. These phantoms cannot attack or block, but they have high RES and Arts Dodge, giving your team extra breathing room in tight situations.

Mat Drops Of Future Events And Episodes.Choose your AoE Healers by their Utility if they are of similar LV. Her talent at E1 keeps her in line with the other Healers in base healing, and at E2P6 without skill activation she heals the best BY A VERY SMALL MARGIN.Īll three AoE Healers have very close numbers, especially after E2, before skills are considered. The mats/LMD/EXP invested in her is NOT wasted. Perfumer is actually a serviceable AoE Healer, and works best when E2'ed for the increase in her Global HoT Talent. A defender could get wiped within that 4 seconds delay. Her heals go from once every 2.85sec to 4.275sec. Any veteran MMO Players out there know that small quick heals are much better than Large Heals with longass cooldown, due to the problem of Overhealing and Death before healing reaches Cooldown. Remember that the -50 ATKSPD on Perfumer does mean that Perfumer becomes a Slow Big-Ass healer instead of consistent smaller heals. Damage Mitigation is a form of Healing when used in calculations, something I've ignored because CBF going down that rabbit hole :p Nightingale's unique abilities are COMPLETELY IGNORED in these numbers, and thus shouldn't be taken as evidence that Nightingale is useless. Now disclaimer, THIS IS CLEARLY SKEWED AGAINST NIGHTINGALE.

If we include skill usage, with Nightingale on S1 +70% ATK (not calculcating S2 or S3 as they're for utility and not straight Healing Numbers) Ptilopsis and Perfumer with S1/S2 when available. When included, the Heal/Sec looks like this Heal/Sec Now the table above doesn't include Perfumer's Global HoT Talent. Next is their Heal/Sec considering their ATKSPD to be 2.85sec Heal/Sec The following table is their final ATK number after Potential 6 and 100% Trust Final ATK Also included will be 100% Trust and Potential 6, which skews favoritism towards the lower rarity Operators as I'm only considering Healing numbers and not damage mitigation like Shields, DEF/RES buffs. I'll be comparing the stats of these three AoE healers at E0Max, E1L50, E2L20, E2L40 and E2Max.
