Medkit: Difference between revisions

| name = Medkit{{PAGENAME}}

'''Medkit{{PAGENAME}}''' is a Support [[Phighters|Phighter]] that utilizes {{Abilitylink|MedkitPrimary}} to output a balance of high damage and healing, and can also use {{Abilitylink|MedkitSecondary}} to deal high burst of said damage or healing, while also slowing any enemy hit by 5% to land easier shots. His passive, {{Abilitylink|MedkitPassive}} allows Medkit{{PAGENAME}} to play more offensively while rewarding himself or his team 25HP healing that targets the lowest health ally on the battlefield (will heal Medkit himself for 20HP). {{Abilitylink|MedkitE}} can be used to cleanse any debuffs a teammate has been affected, and also healing them for a low amount. {{Abilitylink|MedkitQ}} allows Medkit{{PAGENAME}} to be highly mobile by teleporting to a teammate, applying a short-term immunity and low healing if no enemies have been affected in the explosion also. His Phinisher, {{Abilitylink|MedkitPhinisher}}, is a high-value Phinisher which can be used to turn the tide of battle by applying a burst of healing, quick immunity and reviving dead teammates.

When playing as '''Medkit{{PAGENAME}}''', keeping both yourself and your teammates alive is top priority. When necessary, use your primary and your abilities to keep your team sustained with health. When an enemy decides to start a fight with you, keep hitting them with your revolver and maintain distance while also using your own crystals to keep yourself sustained. Keep going until they either retreat, a teammate comes to help you, or the enemy dies. It is recommended to avoid picking up fights against groups of enemies, unless your team is also there to help you. When you see your team fighting against a group of enemies, try keeping them sustained with health by using both your crystals and your revolver. In case you're ever in a situation where you've become overwhelmed, the player can attempt to teleport back to a teammate using Crystal Shift, as long as there is a nearby teammate.

Medkit{{PAGENAME}}'s incredible self-sustainability enables him to 1v1 most Phighters with ease should they get into Curing Cartridge range. The player should be mindful not to fixate themselves into an offensive playstyle and prioritize keeping their teammates healthy at any given opportunity.

** Medkit{{PAGENAME}} does not suffer a slow or bound penalty while {{Abilitylink|MedkitSecondary}} is being used. Fan the Hammer can be used without the self-slow compromising your position, and allows the player to jump normally to avoid damage.

** Since Medkit{{PAGENAME}} can't reload and use abilities at the same time, using this ability after using Rejuvenating Ring can do a good chunk of damage.

** While Crystal Shift can be utilized for mobility to gap-close or escape, it can also be used for mid-combat sustain. Crystal Shift's exceptional healing on hit can be used to stay in fights longer or to buy Medkit{{PAGENAME}} more time.

Medkit{{PAGENAME}}'s incredibly powerful kit is offset by multiple weaknesses, most notably his nearly non-existent mobility outside of Crystal Shift, poor range with his primary fire and the almost complete inability to fight off groups of players. Even with his exceptional self-healing ability, classes such as Rocket and Hyperlaser can easily exploit Medkit{{PAGENAME}}'s lack of range and whittle him down from a distance, especially on more open maps such as [[Sword Fight On The Heights]] and [[Underground War]]. Skateboard can almost entirely invalidate Medkit{{PAGENAME}}'s ability to deal with rushdown attempts by constantly performing hit-and-runs to mess with his ability to fight back and leaving absolutely no time for him to breathe.

Medkit{{PAGENAME}} relies on accuracy to keep both himself and his teammates alive (not including Rejuvenation Ring) which can be easily exploited by more mobile classes like Skateboard and Slingshot. With Curing Cartridge being pinpoint accurate with every shot he makes, Crystallize also directly relies on accuracy to get the self-heals necessary to survive enemy attacks. Crystal Shift takes both accuracy and knowing the habits of the class attacking him in order to effectively use it, which is already hard enough against players that like to dance around him in order to keep up pressure.
