History Characters / ArknightsMedics

* ShootTheMedicFirst: Sometimes, it is recommended to deploy the Medic later than, say, your GlassCannon [=DPS=], defenseless items like the Imprisonment Devices and Terminals, or any other operators you need to stay on the map for their utility in order to draw fire from them since most of the time, enemies will target the latest deployed enemy in their range, since they can heal themselves back. While not as optimal as letting, say, Idle Casters or Defenders draw fire, in certain setups this is simply not possible and, if the Medic is leveled up well, they are often next in line to be hit. [[AvertedTrope Averted]] with Lumen's module, that makes him less likely to be targeted by enemies.

* TimeMaster: Her Arts seemingly work by accelerating or reversing time on a specific object. This can be used to heal people by reverting their wounds back into healthy tissue, or neutralize attacks like [[spoiler:how she deteriorates the metal of Monique's arrow and reverts the shaft into a tree branch]].

'''Therapist''' Medics have a large healing range, though any heals performed on distant allies [[note]]Allies standing in the outer tiles of the Medic's range[[/note]]are reduced to 80% of the Medic's ATK stat. They can usually grant the Resist effect.

* SituationalSword: Their low ATK makes them not that great as an all-purpose Medic, but they are invaluable in stages that have pesky elemental damage that can seriously ruin your day.

'''Multi-target''' Medics can heal up to 3 allies simultaneously, though each individual heal is weaker than a norma; Medic, and their range is adjusted; they can't reach as far as regular Medics, but they are able to heal targets in the tiles behind themselves. They are ideal in situations where multiple operators are being pressured by multiple sources of damage in which a ST Medic would have a hard time keeping up with. They often are equipped with a global support skill too. They have the same ASPD as other Medics.

* CloseRangeCombatant: Unlike regular Medics, Multi-target Medics can heal three units within their highlighted range at once, including those in the three tiles immediately behind them. In exchange, they possess very stunted forward range, meaning they won't normally be able to cover as much ground as their ST counterparts if they are to be placed in the rearline, though many of them have skills or talents that circumvent this, by either massively increasing their coverage when activated (Nightingale, Ptilopsis), or basically giving them infinite global range with reduced healing outside of their tiles (Perfumer).

'''Wandering''' Medics have the ability to heal elemental damage suffered from ally operators equal to 50% of their ATK, even for those who are at full health. They have a large healing range, but have the ''lowest'' ATK (therefore, lowest healing output) of all the Medic archetypes.

* MovesetClone: The trait of this archetype, which makes it's members heal allies in their range while they attacks enemies, is a practical copy of Nightmare's [=S1=]. However, Nightmare can eventually heal HP equal to 100% of the damage she deals to enemies at full mastery and can heal two allies at once; Incantation Medics can only heal HP of a single nearby ally equal to only half of the damage dealt to enemies by default.

* BreakingOldTrends: It's the first and only Medic subclass that ''actually'' focuses on attacking enemies instead of having to use a skill.

Touch is an experienced Medic, that some of the junior operators like Hibiscus look up to as their instructor and mentor.

* SupportPartyMember: With the exception of Folinic with her S2 equipped and Kal'tsit via her summon, Medics are entirely incapable of attacking anything. While they do have an ATK stat, and most Medics have skills that raise it, it governs how much healing they do per use instead.

* EarlyBirdCameo: Shows up in Integrated Strategies as a recruitable operator, and later shows up in the Epilogue of Near Light to help push back the Armorless Union.
* MamaBear: Says that she was going to stay out of things until Monique raised her bow at Hibiscus and the Doctor.
* TranquilFury: Is calm when addressing Monique, but the sheer force of her presence makes Monique tremble.

->'''Race:''' Forte

* RepetitiveName: When official archetype names are revealed in Dossoles Holiday, the name that is designated for the Medic archetype that we formerly call '''Single Target''' Medics is called... [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Medic]]. No joke. This meant that they would have been called "''Medic'' Medics" in the game.

* HealItWithWater: All of them use water to heal allies.
