Characters.Trails Series Calvard Arkride Solutions Office: In fact, she's the only playable character in the Calvard arc to have more support Crafts than offensive ones.note Glow Hammer/Sacred Hammer and Etoile Ray/Pleiades Ray are the only ones that do damage; White Heal/Innocent Heal and Brilliant Halo restore HP immediately, while Djibril Guard and Holy Bloom grant HP Recovery.
Characters.Blood Sword: The only player character capable of healing the party at any non-combat decision point. Comes at the risk of losing their own Endurance points in the process.
VideoGame.Rise And Fall Civilizations At War: The only civilization in this game that can produce Healers is Egypt. The Healers are completely defenseless, and they are quite Squishy. Their main uses are to use heal injured allied units to full health (provided that the Healers have enough energy to mend the wounds), and resurrect fallen comrades (if the Herbalist Advisor has been researched). Strategically, the Healers should be targeted first, as they can easily keep an entire Egyptian army effectively immortal as long as they are still healing.
Characters.Onmyoji 2016 Protagonists: Definitely not an attack-oriented type, having only one active offensive skill out of the four onmyōji (which is less than Yaobikuni). The rest of his active skills are buffs, debuffs, defense and healing.
Characters.Flower Knight Girl Exclusive Knights: Shock and Awe: Getting struck by her "Lightning Lord's" lightning seems to have passed on their abilities to her in addition to her potent healing. From calling upon a Bolt of Divine Retribution for her skill attack, to summoning the Apostles of Heavenly Thunder.
HighTierScrappy.League Of Legends: Enchanters were seen as an underrated gamechanger in recent years, in the metagame where Engage Support reign superior, many had figured out that they were less restrictive than Engage Supports because they can roam elsewhere and assist other laners earlier on and give them extra edge instead of just staying with the AD Carry botlaner all the times. Champions like Janna and Soraka were often derided because of what they can do they did it a little too well and can quickly outheal all the damage dealt with no sweat, while champions like Bard and Rakan find healthy engagement with their absurdly powerful roaming power that they possess. Of course that they're offset by subpar durability and even weaker damage curve, which make them easy target for the enemy team, but you already knew that, and crafty players have already knew how to circumvent their weakness.
Characters.Fate Harem Antics: While she's still capable of attacking with spells, she's not as proficient as her older self is with offensive spells, instead being a lot better at being a healer.
Characters.The Scholomance: Combat Medic: Being the daughter of a world-famous White Mage has given El the chance to learn some powerful healing magic, though her affinity favors “combat” so heavily that she can’t use it nearly as well.
NominalHero.Video Games: Thracia 776 has Lifis, a pirate leader and Starter Villain who essentially gets roped into the story by way of having been captured by the heroes, and the on-the-run heroes not having a good way to permanently imprison him. Quite a few times in the story, he remarks that he's planning to make a run for it, but only if he can manage to sleep with the local White Mage first.
Characters.Koudelka: Chivalrous Pervert: He initially approaches Koudelka in this manner, but since they are trekking through a murder dungeon and Koudelka is both a White Mage and the easily annoyed type, he quickly learns to not indulge in flirtations, chivalrous or otherwise.
Characters.Sunrider: Her combat skills focus mainly on repair abilities and ally Status Buffs.
Pantheon.Character Writing: Portfolio: Was Introduced While Getting Rescued, Alice Allusion, Enlightenment Superpowers, Head-Turning Beauty, The Ingenue, Mystical White Hair, Started off pretty weak but eventually became very powerful, Damsel in Distress until she became much stronger, Shrinking Violet, Squishy Witch, White Mage, White Magician Girl, Bashes enemies with her books, Casts light class spells, Her Advent spell is one of the most powerful spells among her group, Transferred the Four-Mask Curse to herself in exchange for saving Yuri's soul, Ultimately sacrificed her soul, Was eventually saved by Yuri when he went back through time
Characters.Castlevania 2017 Protagonists: Black Mage: She is this in function and the fact that she uses offensive magic. She's a magician of the Speakers, and versed in manipulating the elements. From a story standpoint, she's a White Mage as the powers she evokes come from nature and those In-Universe who are truly witches and black mages explicitly draw their powers from hell.
TabletopGame.Drunk Quest: Common Character Classes: The game has 8, each visually themed on a form of alcohol:The Brewmaster, beer. The Cleric, wine. The Paladin, mead. The Ranger, Jagermeister. The Thief, whiskey. The Trick Shot, tequila. The Warrior, vodka. The Wizard whose theme is Martinis. * The 90 Proof Seas expansion adds four more: The Pirate, rum. The Sea Queen, who is not themed. The Siren, wheat beer. The Witch Doctor, absinthe.
Characters.Final Fantasy Brave Exvius Global Originals And Precursors: Crutch Character: He's neck-and-neck with Lenna and Maria for the best White Mage at three-star power, getting solid heals early and being able to take a hit better than most other white mages. Once you get to four-star power, Lenna and Maria start to surpass him in well-roundedness, Refia is slowly building into competence, and his heals start to slack off. By five-star levels of power, Lenna and Maria are much more reliable, Refia starts coming into her own (and still has one more awakening to go), and Rem and Y'shtola outshine him from the get-go. His Trust Master Reward (a robe that grants auto-refresh) is still remarkably useful, however. Averted by Doctor Aiden, who upon release and for several months after topped the charts as best healer in the game.
VideoGame.Radiant Arc: Carrie is a standard healing mage, but with a few twists. Her healing spells buff the target(s) magic defense and she can draw aggro specifically from magic attacks.
Characters.Xenoblade Chronicles X Team Elma: Red Mage: Both by default as a Blast Fencer and due to having the most diverse skillset, excluding Rook. Doug can fill virtually any role the player needs - from team medic, to all-out frontline assault, or ranged support by using buffs and debuffs.
TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild.Tropes N To T: Only the Chosen May Pilot: This is implied to be the case with the Divine Beasts. They're four gigantic animal-shaped mechas that were built in ancient times as a defense against Ganon, with representatives of each major race—Zora, Goron, Rito, and Gerudo—known as "Champions" chosen to pilot them. When the Divine Beasts are unearthed again, it's remarked that certain members of those races felt an inexplicable pull toward them: for example, Mipha, the Zora Princess and a mild-mannered White Mage, became vibrantly animated and even fiery as soon as she saw Vah Ruta, the Divine Beast of her people. It's downplayed in that the chosen Champions needed to be taught to use the Beasts, but their general connection to them leans toward this trope.
Fanfic.Least Noticeable And Little Flappy: Hero's First Rescue: When Claire sees Little Flappy being attacked in midairby a big wyrm-like creature of Shadow, she first drives off the attacker with her love beam, then teleports over to the fallen flappy thing, grabs him with her multiple tongues and carries him back to Granny Pie to receive medical treatment. As the title of the story suggests, this deed is significant to Claire's future.
Characters.Tales Of The Abyss: She can cast healing magic based on Yulia's holy fonic hymns and is also the strongest healer of the team.
Characters.Final Fantasy XIV Disciples Of War: Esteem wields a Conjurer's staff and provides you with healing support during the various instanced battles during the job quests. A few throwaway lines from Sidurgu and Rielle imply that the original Fray was a Conjurer at some point in the past prior to becoming a Dark Knight, and that he taught Rielle most of what she knows about Conjury. Another line implies he was a more powerful Conjurer than a Dark Knight, and may have won his trial by combat had he been allowed his staff rather than his sword. Humorously, it dovetails with how the original Dark Knight/Magic Knight worked in the Famicom version of Final Fantasy III, where that job could use White Magic, even if only to L3.
Fanfic.The Child Of Azkaban Lonely Harvest: Emotion Bomb: In the Chamber of Secrets, Voldemort reveals to Harry that both he and Harry possess a rare magical skill (other than being a parselmouth) that causes them to emit a magical aura that enforces a specific temperament onto those around them. Voldemort emits an aura of awe, ensuring that those around him - be they allies or enemies - notice him and take him seriously. Harry on the other hand enforces a sense of Reason, causing those around him to remain calm and think rationally, with prolonged exposure healing mental trauma, as it slowly did with the Longbottoms and the inmates in Azkaban.
Characters.Darkest Dungeon Heroes A To F: Magic Knight: The Crusader is an armored warrior with some magical items, such as scrolls or standards, to perform spells. In the first game, he was mostly a White Mage, as most of his magical abilities were focused on healing health and stress, but in the second game he gained some offensive magical abilities as well, being able to inflict Burn.
VideoGame.Evolution: Linear is this, having a large amount of spells and even a special move that may allow her to convince an enemy to flee the battle. Downplayed with Gre who is more combat-oriented and has support skills.
Pantheon.Familial Perspective: Elise: The Childish, Innocent Sibling Yet Surprisingly Mature, All-Loving Little Sister Heroine, The Healer With Combat Potential Upon Promotion, Frail Magic Powerhouse If Given The Time and Training, Doesn't Want Others To Hold Back On Her, Looking Younger Than Her Possible Children, Wide-Ranged Palate, Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold, Sweet Noble And Very Energetic, Never Fights Corrin
Characters.Onmyoji 2016 SSR Shikigami A To M: Enmusubi-no-Kami's role is a buffer, healer, and tertiary puller. She has access to one attack, and that is her basic. Other than that, she's practically a Support Party Member.
Awesome.Avatar The Abridged Series: For Episode 11, the creators finally found an actual girl to voice Katara, and a damn fine Mae Whitman soundalike to boot. The episode could have just started with the character sounding different with no explanation given, but instead, it changes halfway through, when Pakku's sexist bullying causes Katara to take a level in badass. Katara: "I...I...I said... FUCK THAT! I am sick and tired of this shit and I'm not going to let it happen any more. I'm done being captured, I'm done falling for every guy I meet, and I'm done taking the backseat in fights. I don't want to heal, I want to kick ass! Starting with YOURS!"
Characters.Qins Moon: In the Mobile RPG, where her limit break heals the whole party.
Characters.Galidor: Euripedes has the power to levitate individuals with his staff but primarily focuses on peaceful uses of his knowledge, such as healing.
Characters.Dragon Nest: The Paladin: ...Yeah, if you can't figure it out, we're not gonna tell you.White Mage: The Saint is primarily this, having access to better heals and relics.
Music.Brental Floss: "I Want" Song: "Ballad of the Mages": The Red Mage wants to be the best at both swordplay and magic, the White Mage wants some praise, and the Black Mage wants people to stop judging him by the color of his... magic.
Characters.Dragon Quest IX: They learn strictly healing and supportive spells with the exception of Whack and Thwack.
VideoGame.League Of Legends: In terms of individual play, champions were a lot less mechanically nuanced than what we see nowadays, largely consisting of high-damage burst mages, high-damage melee fighters, or Soraka (a high resource-dispensing support). Skillshots and mobility was far less common, with a vast majority of champions having point-and-click abilities and static movement, and the end result was that champions had far more innate power as micro was nowhere near as dynamic. Scaling was also strange as all damage abilities — even for fighters who otherwise prioritize attack damage from auto-attacks — scaled directly from the "ability power" stat (hence where that name comes from).
DarthWiki.Hetalia Emblem: Basch towards Erika (Liechtenstein), of course. However, Basch is a monk. Their supports deal with Basch coming to terms with the fact that she's gotten older and can fight on the frontlines as long as he's there to catch her. Erika, as a result of their arrangement, feels a bit protective of him in battle as well.
Characters.Bastard Bonds: She possesses early knowledge of the "Ward" skill tree, which makes her able to heal adjacent allies.
VideoGame.Idola Phantasy Star Saga: The Saint Class, in Law. Saints specialize in healing and buff magic, including abilities such as Resta, Shifta, and Deband (or some combination of them). Some Saints also gain the ability to inflict debuffs on the enemy party after Fate Divergence.
WebVideo.Brony D And D: Combat and Support: The team has all the ingredients you need for a balanced party.Smacky, Hurty Ouchy: Jeminya, Amber, Oin and Rose are the primary fighters of the group via the method of face-stabbing (Jeminya), face-biting (Amber), face-punching (Oin) and face-biting-by-proxy (Rose) "Ah, ya stole my lungs!" Jalerom and Kross are the two tracking and stealth experts of the game, along with the ability to do concentrated damage to single targets, while lacking the stamina for prolonged melee combat against multiple foes. The Butler: Oin, Jeminya are the walking band-aids of the team, while Oin and Ivan also provide a wide selection of buffs and debuffs at the sir or madamn's conveniance. "Oh God, Everything's on fire!!": Faethurin is a wizard. Which means by the time of Season Two, she's basically a walking nuke dispenser with features. Be afraid.
VideoGame.Realms Of Kaos: Priests were tanky healers with the weakest offensive capability in the game.
Characters.Brave Frontier Units Part 18: What she is famous for and passed on to the Crystal Staff she wielded. It's notable that of all the Units in her batch, she is the only one to have Brave Bursts oriented towards healing and ailment cleansers (with the exception of her Supers and Ultimates in both evolution forms, and even they have support effects too).
Characters.Legionwood: His default class is the Cleric, which focuses on healing and support Techs.
Pantheon.Character Adaptations: Arc: Badass Bookworm, Badass Longcoat, Black Mage (can also act as a White Mage and use Summon Magic), Brainy Brunette, Uses water-based attacks, Not So Weak, Scarf of Asskicking, The Smart Guy, The So-Called Coward, Youthful Freckles
VideoGame.Lufia: Short Tank: Tia's character design has been changed to be one of these in the remake. It's actually a practical change that fits her spunky childhood friend character and helps distinguish her from Selan, since two long blue-haired WhiteMages can be confusing at first glance.
Characters.A Game Of Gods Taskforce Sifuri Team Magic: Her penalty for dying in the Warhammer 40k challenge was to be transformed into a Mithra White Mage. She's changed back since but she retained this as her subjob, giving her access to White as well as Black magic.
VideoGame.Cthulhu Saves The World: Dacre, the senile old man you find in the Water Temple and who tags along for no discernible reason. He has the standard Wizard Classic look but has no offensive spells — other than the usual late-game White Mage nuke Holy.
Webcomic.How To Be A Werewolf: Our Witches Are Different: Apart from werewolves, the series features these. Witches draw their power from the earth, and must return it, or face dire consequences. Even if two witches marry and have children together, those children aren't guaranteed to be witches. Several witches are seen in the series, and all have their own unique power sets and visualizations for their magic:Marisa's magic is based around healing and repairing things, and is visualized as light blue geometric patterns based around circles. Flora Conradine's magic is based around the manipulation of plants and biological material, and is visualized as glowing green vines. Charlene's magic is mostly focused around illusions, and when it's not manifesting as a particular image, it is visualized as pink smoke.
VideoGame.My Heroes SEA: Fantasy Character Classes: The 5 classes currently in gamenote Warrior, Ranger, Priest, Mage, and Ninja have similar traits to typical RPG classes, where Warrior is Fighter, Ranger is archer, Priest is white mage, Mage as Black Mage, and Ninja is... ninja.
YMMV.AFK Arena: When Walker was introduced, the fandom almost immediately came to the consensus that he was the single worst character in the game, even moreso than long-standing bottom-tier characters Thane and Ulmus (listed above). He's a gunslinger designed to be a Fragile Speedster, but despite his using a shotgun, and being given raw stats that seem to expect that, he has no ranged attacks; he can only shoot point blank. He might as well not even be using one for all the good it does him. These close-range attacks do almost no damage, either — even pure healers like Numisu and Rowan routinely hit harder than him.
Characters.Witch Hat Atelier Enemies Of Witchkind: She uses her magic to "rewind time" around Dagda after he is stabbed by bandits, and offers to cure Coustas' crippled legs. Both of these instances of curative magic are considered The Dark Arts by the Witches Auditorium.
Characters.Hunter The Reckoning: Too Awesome to Use: In game-mechanical terms Defenders tend to advance more slowly in their powers than other Hunters because their Properly Paranoid attitude pushes them to sit on their accumulated Conviction points rather than spending them on Virtue advancement — i.e. they'd rather hoard possible uses of powers they already have just in case rather than take the risk of expending those uses to gain more powerful abilities. This is both directly suggested as a way to differentiate your character in the Defender Creedbook and something pushed on you by how the game works — it's the party healer who has the toughest cost/benefit analysis trading in mana for XP.
ChrysalisRinoZ.Tropes G To O: To a certain extent this is justified, given how much can be accomplished with monster Healing Factors and healing magic. ("Having my legs get eaten is still irritating.") Still, Mendant is unimpressed with how blasé Anthony is about being blown up and sliced apart to the point where what's left of him has to be carried into the hospital. Anthony: Some sort of laser thing. Absolute rubbish. Anyway, spot of healing, I'll be fine. Hit me up Mendant and I'll be on my way. Mendant: You'll be here for at least a day. I'm assuming your healing gland is empty? Anthony: I think it needs to regrow…
VideoGame.Final Fantasy Brigade: Class and Level System: With all of the traditional Final Fantasy jobs. Including... Monk, Black Mage, Paladin, Red Mage, Thief, White Mage, Ninja, Samurai, Geomancer, Dragoon, Warrior, Hunter, Dark Knight, Mystic Knight, Gambler, Blacksmith, Juggler, Blue Mage, Viking, Dancer, Orator, Machinist, Necromancer, Rune Knight, Black Belt, Sword Saint and Assassin
Fanfic.Savior Of Demons: Do Not Taunt Cthulhu: Bulma has no problem taking Frieza down a notch, but even she reflects that it's not such a great idea when Goku isn't standing right there monitoring him.As of Ch. 19, Dende of all people is taking shots at Frieza.
Characters.Granblue Fantasy Humans A To E: Of the Status Buff specialized variety. She deals low damage (in fact her Charge Attack doesn't deal any damage at all) but brings rare offensive buffs to the party, notably the Hype mechanic that regularly appears on bard-type characters.
VideoGame.Final Fantasy VII: Gameplay and Story Integration: Part of the reason why Aerith's death stings so bad is that she was the designated party White Mage. While your can jerry-rig other party members into filling her role quite well, you'll never quite have the most optimized setup that was initially possible when she was alive. This, coupled with the fact that the party screen has a missing character slot that never gets filled, is part of the reason why her death is such an effective Player Punch- not only did you lose a party member, but now the rest of the group has to spend time making up for her absence.
Memes.Fire Emblem Three Houses: Mercedes with a gun. Explanation While she is the White Mage of the group, Mercedes is capable of being a strong Combat Medic with her Reason skill leveled up. As such, fans enjoy portraying her with a gun, invoking the "I'm a healer, but..." meme to hilarious effect.
VideoGame.Worlds End: Episode Three is the first to hint that there is something more going on in Tierva than just drug rackets and petty gang feuds. This is the first time Tevoran and Company see magic used, the first official mention of Vorona and the Church of Ecthain, and, in retrospect, contains buried hints to MANY of the events to come in future days. As a bonus, this episode also sees the inclusion of Oksana, considered by many to the most valuable party member in the entire company.
CombatMedic.Video Games: White Mage characters everywhere revolve around casting healing spells and buffs on the party, but most can do their share of fighting when needed.
VideoGame.Persona 5 Strikers: Morgana is a Pintsized Powerhouse who effectively combines great mobility and range with the added power to pull enemies into his attacks. He also doubles as a White Mage (barring his use of offensive Wind skills) and can eventually learn to use Lucky Punch in his combos to knock down enemies with Critical Hits.
VideoGame.The World Next Door: Limit Break: If you place special runesnote which appear on the board after casting spells with four or more runes in the proper shape and cast with them, whichever friend you have set up for it will use their special ability.Liza summons multiple balls of darkness which home in on enemies. Horace casts a powerful fireball which increases in strength if there are more ember runes are on the field. Cerisse casts a strong healing spell which has the potential to raise Jun's HP beyond its maximum. Rainy puts a magical barrier around Jun, protecting her from damage and status effects for a short time. Lux confuses enemies, causing them to attack each other or be unable to cast spells. Vesper activates all shock runes on the field, doing more damage the more there are.
FinalFantasy.Tropes I To R: Land, Sea, Sky: The three Weapons awakened in the original Final Fantasy VII conform to these states. Diamond is the land, Sapphire is the sea and Ultima is the sky. The international releases added Emerald and Ruby breaking the trend. In Final Fantasy XIV the Conjurer and White Mage class use the life-giving elements of Earth, Wind and Water as part of their attack moveset in comparison to the Thaumaturge and Black Mage classes focus on the destructive Fire, Ice, Lightning elements.
Characters.Pokemon Diamond And Pearl: Adaptational Badass: Platinum implements an Obvious Rule Patch to broadly expand Cheryl's pool of pokémon to include more aggressive options. The BDSP take on the Eterna Forest Escort Mission changes Cheryl's Chansey from an Unskilled, but Strong White Mage to a Weak, but Skilled Combat Medic.
Characters.Tales Of Vesperia Brave Vesperia: Estelle blurs the line between a white mage and The Paladin. She is a master of healing, support and holy magic, but also knows her way around a sword and shield.
JustForFun.Super Weight Fan Works: Dragon Ball Z Abridged Muggle Weight: Normal humans/Namekians Iron Weight: Chi Chi, Yajirobe, Bulma Extranormal Weight: Yamcha, Chiaotzu, Super Kami Guru, Dende Super Weight: Krillin, Radditz, Tien Hyper Weight: Nappa, Gohan, Piccolo, Nail, the Ginyu Force World Weight: Goku, Vegeta, Freeza, Future Trunks, King Kai, Cell, the Androids Cosmic Weight: Shenron, Mr. Popo (possibly Author Weight)
Literature.A Mages Power: The Medic: It's Dragon's Lair policy for a White Mage to be part of every team. Nolien fulfils this role for Team Four because he has the skill for it. He's still developing a healer's sensitivity.
Franchise.Baldurs Gate: Lady of Black Magic: There's quite a few female party members that fit.Viconia, an elegant and evil caster who, ironically, technically classifies as a White Mage. Dynaheir, a graceful and proper Invoker, with Invocation being the most offensive school of spells. Nalia, a mage who evolves into this from Black Magician Girl when she accepts her birthright as a noble.
Literature.And You Thought There Is Never A Girl Online: Fire-Forged Friends: The type of relationship Rusian and Schwein share in the game. As the guild's two melee fighters, they put their neck out on the line to ensure enemies never get near the Squishy Wizard Apricot and Ako. From time to time they call each other, "partner," when no one else is around.
Expy.Video Games: Final Fantasy XIV has several characters who share names and likenesses with other characters from earlier installments, including:Matoya, Y'shtola's mentor, is named after a witch from Final Fantasy. She even has a Crystal Eye. Krile Mayer Baldesion, one of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, is named after one of the playable characters of Final Fantasy V. Like her namesake, she wears a cat-eared hood and has a grandfather named Galuf. The Warriors of Darkness are based on late-game bosses from Final Fantasy III, with their titles taken from jobs from the same game: Warrior, Devout (an evolution of the White Mage), Magus (an evolution of the Black Mage), Ranger, and Knight. While not referencing a previous FF game, Shadowbringers features a Humongous Mecha that features prominently in a post-game questline called "G-Warrior", which is colored in a manner similar to a Gundam, makes a similar pose to the ZZ Gundam, and gets an upgrade later on with a rename to "G-Saviour''.
DarthWiki.Journey Left Alone: Clerics. Of the party, Ivan falls under this trope the most, being the only pure cleric. While Sulley and Mara are also both clerics, their actions in battle generally focus more on damage.
Characters.Fire Emblem The Blazing Blade Lyns Tale: Character Select Forcing: He's the first playable magic attacker to appear in both Lyn's story and the main story, and will be able to help the party deal with Weak to Magic enemies before more specialized units like Lucius and Canas join the party. He is also your sole option for Anima spellcasters long before Pent and Nino can be recruited, and it takes awhile for Priscilla to even have access to it.
Characters.Fire Emblem Fates Hoshido: Square Race, Round Class: Hoshido in general has a lot more units than average who don't fit the classes they're assigned for, often having some very uncharacteristic if not outright lopsided growth rates for the classes they roll up in. Some examples of this include Hinata (a Samurai/Swordmaster with tanky Mighty Glacier growth stats), Subaki (a Sky Knight/Falcon Knight with terrible Speed and Resistance but very high HP, Defense and Skill), Rinkah (a Oni Savage/Oni Chieftain with below average HP and Strength but above average Speed and Skill and a monstrous Defense growth) and Azama (a Monk/Great Master who's a Magically Inept Lightning Bruiser). In most of their cases, the best solution is either to reclass them to a more ergonomically-fitting class, or take a gamble and hope that their increased growths to their blind spots as a class helps dramatically improve them.
Characters.The Legend Of Vox Machina Vox Machina: Jack of All Stats: Pike is physically strong, but not as much of a brute as Grog, she is fast and agile, but she is not a McNinja like Vax, and while she is better at using magic than Keyleth, she does not have the latter's Combo Platter Powers. Her main standout talent in the group is as a healer.
Webcomic.Dragon Mango: Comically Inept Healing: The White Mage in charge of healing the tournament contestants, Colleen, is pretty clueless about treating any condition that requires mundane healing rather than magic and keeps trying to treat said conditions with her mallet.
Characters.Frieren Beyond Journeys End Frieren And Her Companions: Sein is a very talented priest who has Healing Hands. He demonstrates his skill in Chapter 27, when he instantly heals Stark from a poison that his big brother, who is supposedly the best priest in the region, deemed incurable.
ThatOneLevel.Final Fantasy: Porom's Challenge Dungeon. You're on a strict time limit. You have to satisfy the arbitrary desires of random NPCs, which include wasting Porom's MP on cure spells, giving away expensive armor, fighting powerful monsters, and so forth. You're only given two characters that can surpass level 20, one of which is Porom herself, who is a White Mage and can't really fight. Your party makeup and time limit would imply that you should run from battles, but then you won't have the money to buy much of that armor you have to give the greedy NPCs, both because you can't get money if you run away and also because you randomly lose some money in equal amount to 25% of the amount you would've gotten for winning the battle. And even if you satisfy the request of every single NPC on the map and make it to the final treasure in time, you're still not guaranteed to get anything worthwhile for it.
Literature.The Great Cleric: Healer is a profession many can take up. They can hired to be a part of a party, or provide ad hoc services at the guild. Most healers charge a lot of money for their services, so a lot of adventurers decide to just decide to not ask for their services. Luciel is unique in the sense that he doesn't charge for his services.
HopelessBossFight.Role Playing Games: The Legend of Dragoon Lloyd in the arena. He is undefeatable in the fact that he will simply dodge every attack you throw at him, and then, to add insult to non-injury, he mocks you with such phrases as "Ha! Not even close!" or "Don't waste your time!" or "Too Slow!" Preventing one of these is the reason why Shirly is the only one of the original Dragoons not fought in her Dragoon form. Enemies have unlimited MP and the White-Silver Dragoon has the power to heal herself to full health any time she wishes, a combination that would have made Shirley's impossible to defeat. Her Dragoon battle was Dummied Out and replaced with a Sheathe Your Sword puzzle.
