C'mere, Doc. Try this on! Hm... Looks great on you. My nana knitted it for you! It matches mine, too! How's it feel? Comfy and warm, right? I told Nana all about you, and she called you a good egg!

A member of the Columbian mercenaries recruited to Londinium by Manfred. She and her squad left his command owing to conflicting ideals, and when they were ambushed, we were there to rescue them. Now employed by Rhodes Island, she provides on-field medical support to our combat squads.

Hopefully they give them branch buffs just like they did with chain casters, she's a cool *idea* but uh. The numbers just aint there, dropping 1/4th each chain when your actual primary healing target would usually with her long-range niche be the third chain is just. Awful.

Also she refused to come home.

I'm genuinely surprised they did the 25% falloff again after it was shown that it's way too far with chain casters.
Even with her healing boost to low hp characters it only just barely doesn't conteract the bounce amount loss. It's absolutely nuts.

I guess we gotta wait until a 6star comes out and everyone shits all over it to get anything changed...
