Overview

Medkit is a Support Phighter that utilizes to output a balance of high damage and healing, and can also use to deal high burst of said damage or healing, while also slowing any enemy hit by 5% to land easier shots. His passive, Crystalize allows Medkit to play more offensively while rewarding himself or his team 25HP healing that targets the lowest health ally on the battlefield. Rejuvenation Ring can be used to cleanse any debuffs a teammate has been affected, and also healing them for a low amount. Crystal Shift allows Medkit 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, Divine Resurrection, 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.

Strategy

Pros	Exceptional self-sustain Can provide cleanse and immunity for teams Unique Phinisher which can revive multiple teammates
Cons	Poor ability to deal with grouped players, can only stall using Crystal Shift and Crystallize for self-sustain or rely on teammates to protect Medkit Low damage output without headshots High cooldowns Poor mobility outside of Crystal Shift

When playing as Medkit, 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 and your team isn't there to help you, you can attempt to teleport back to a teammate using Crystal Shift, as long as there is an available teammate there.

Divine Resurrection has multiple properties that make it effective as an option to turn fights into a team's favor. Immediate access to 50HP of instant healing and short immunity can save teammates in critical moments and force the enemy to commit more resources to winning the team fight. Divine Resurrection's revival effect can bring back multiple teammates to even out a numbers disadvantage.

Medkit'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.

Ability usage

• Crystalize
  • Try to land for headshots often, as the 25HP healing can save a teammates even if they're not near you and the 10 hp provides you with good self sustain.
  • It's much easier to hit headshots on enemies who are slow, bound, or have big hitboxes such as Katana or Hyperlaser.
• • Use the auto-aim this weapon gives to its advantage when healing teammates, although try to keep your crosshair over them.
  • You can press shift to get rid of the auto-aim if an ally is near an enemy you want to shoot.
  • Since this is a hit-scan ability that doesn't give as much self slow compared to other Phighters, in certain situations you'll be able to attack other slower ranged Phighters such as Hyperlaser and shoot them while getting behind terrain.
• • Use this ability to slow any enemy that is aggressive towards you, allowing you to land easier headshots and triggering your passive.
  • Since Medkit can't reload and use abilities at the same time, using this ability after using e can do a good chunk of damage.
  • This ability has reduced auto-aim on allies, making it easier to hit enemies with. It is not recommended to use this ability to heal allies with in combat, due to its low healing and unloading of all your bullets. Instead, prioritize dealing damage to enemies with this ability.
• Crystal Shift
  • 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 more time.
  • Use the immunity this ability gives to save your teammate against a powerful Phinisher or any lethal damage.
  • Use this ability to dive with other Phighters such as Sword after he lands his E ability (Lunge) to get an easy heal on yourself, your ally, and damage any other enemies in the area.
• Rejuvenation Ring
  • Use the cleanse effect to help any teammate that is affected by debuffs that hinder their movement or makes them take more damage than intended.
  • The crystal automatically explodes when it comes into contact of anything aside from teammates, keep in mind when throwing it.
  • The crystal has a very large vertical hitbox, so you can damage enemies or heal allies above or below you.
  • This ability can also be used to get kills from afar and "snipe" enemies with it, however, it is risky to do in most situations.
  • When using this ability, always make sure to try and heal an ally or damage an enemy whilst healing yourself to get the most out of this ability. If it is to dangerous to go for either, it's ok to just heal yourself.
  • This ability deals 5 direct damage. It's unnecessary, but try to land the direct damage against any Phighters who are near you if you can.
• Divine Resurrection
  • Pay active attention to pings from your teammates and their health bars to determine when to ult.
  • Divine Resurrection has the longest animation time of all Phinishers, at 1.5 seconds. Make sure to use it pre-emptively as dying during the animation cancels its effects.
  • If you're low, its better to revive teammates so you can get more healing from your ult. If you're not low, it's better to keep allies alive through the healing and immunity instead of reviving them. Depending on the mode however, this can vary.

Heal Priority

As much as I stress you should try to heal anyone in dire need, certain phighters have priority due to either having more health or taking more damage. While some may require more attention you genuinely shouldn’t pocket a single Phighter. It's important to split your attention, sorta like a babysitter watching a bunch of children.

• Highest Priority: Katana, Sword, Boombox, (Possibly Vinestaff)

Remember to seek out these Phighters often, if they are supplied with health through the match you can win matches more often.

• Mid Priority: Subspace, Slingshot, Shuriken, Hyperlaser

Heal these Phighters when they are nearby, you’ll be in the range of them half the time. Quick heals with your abilities should keep these phighters alive for some time.

• Low Priority: Rocket, Biograft, Skateboard

These Phighters either have shields or have the mobility to last long without your assistance, if in dire need, pop a few Curing Cartridge shots into them. If you’re Skateboard, I'm sorry, you are going at Mach 10. Medkits can not heal you effectively unless offboard. And don’t forget, if they are low still heal them to prevent death, less death means more assists!

Important Skills

The main things you need to learn while you play Medkit is situational awareness and tracking. Always keep tabs on your enemies and allies' positions. Put yourself close to allies or lead your enemies to them, utilize enemies who tunnel vision you to your advantage, leading them into unfavorable skirmishes.

The better your aim becomes the more efficiently you can land headshots on enemies and possibly put them down with focused fire. Learning recoil control on your Secondary can also allow you to heal your allies fast and execute low-health enemies efficiently.

Counterplay against Medkit

Medkit'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'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'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 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.
