Weapon Variants
1h Holy Staff
5v5 Single Target SavesThe classic healer weapon. Its E (Desperate Prayer) heals a massive amount instantly, increasing by over 40% if the target is below 40% health. The ultimate bailout weapon.
Hallowfall
Mists & High-Tier MobilityAn incredibly expensive and powerful weapon. Its E (Divine Intervention) causes you to leap into the air, becoming immune to damage, and smash down to both heal allies and knock up enemies. A healer with CC and mobility is overpowered.
Fallen Staff
ZvZ Group HealingDrops a massive delayed healing circle (Salvation). It removes debuffs and heals everyone inside for a gigantic amount. It is mandatory for backline healing in large-scale Zerg vs Zerg fights.
Redemption Staff
Small Scale Bouncing HealsThrows a magical sphere (Celestial Sphere) that literally bounces between injured allies, healing them instantly. Extremely effective in 5v5 arenas or Hellgates when the team is somewhat grouped.
✨
Recommended Passives
Adrenaline Driven Charity
Increases your healing by a flat percentage every few spell casts. This is the undisputed best passive for Holy healers, as it significantly boosts your life-saving burst capability.
Magic Force
Every few attacks knocks the enemy back. Sometimes used defensively, but sacrificing raw healing power is rarely worth it.

Detailed Combos & Tactics
The 1v1 Survival Rotation (Hallowfall)
1
Keep Generous Heal (Q) ticking on yourself to out-sustain enemy damage.
2
If the enemy bruiser uses their boots to dive you, cast Holy Orb (W) to push them away.
3
If they close the gap again, use Divine Intervention (E) to jump straight up in the air, dodge their burst combo, and land on them for a knock-up, completely ruining their damage window.
The Graveguard Sacrifice Save
1
Notice an ally drop below 20% health while being focused.
2
Activate Graveguard Helmet (Sacrifice). This deals 15% of YOUR health as damage to yourself, but heals the ally for 15% of THEIR max health instantly.
3
Immediately follow up by targeting yourself with Desperate Prayer (E) or Generous Heal (Q) to recover the health you just lost.
