How To Party Heal in For The King 2
Party Heal is a unique OP skill in For the King 2. If you want to take advantage of it, you need an Herbalist. It’s a secondary skill, and it won’t cost an attack action. The ability works in combat, at rest, and in the overworld. To make use of healing the entire party in combat, be sure everyone else in the party is on the surrounding tiles.
Want to know something else cool about the Herbalist? If you have the upgraded Old Pipe, the Herbalist can boost the heals from it and make them constant. This, alongside the Party Heal, makes them a must-have in any party setup.
How To Revive Characters
So, maybe the battle didn’t go as planned. Your heals are used up, and these For the King 2 enemies are too much for your characters. Now, it’s time to revive.
The game gives you three ways to revive:
- Overworld: You can dip back into the overworld to breathe life back into your fallen companions.
- Revive Ally: In combat, you can select the Revive Alley option whenever someone falls. Keep an eye on the life pool, though. Each time you use the option, it will cost you a heart.
- Sanctums: Once you’re devoted to a Sanctum, you’re automatically revived. This uses up the Sanctum as it breaks down, and you lose any other benefit it gave you.
You can check out the Revive Ally feature below and hope you don’t have to use it too much:
