Full Cure is a very powerful and surprisingly cheap action for healers on any run type. Instead of bringing an action like Chainspell or Seraph Strike, you can bring Full Cure to provide a ton of utility and increase your healing output without needing rays. Plus, if you slot it at the start you can hold onto it and use just one of the action the whole instance, making it very cheap compared to other advanced actions like Blood Rage and Excellence.
While being the only healer in your party can seem scary, it's really not that bad. Outside of Queen’s Guard, solo healing is basically the same as having a co-healer. If you're really worried, here's some tips to ensure your success.
On Queen’s Guard you’ll need to give out Steelsting and Spellforge by yourself, and there are two main ways of doing so. If you expect the boss to die fast, you should apply Spellforge to everyone in your party before pulling, then slot in Steelsting if it’s needed (this is often referred to as “gambling”). If you don’t expect the boss to die fast, you should instead wait for the colored tether to appear and slot in the opposite color and apply it to everyone.
Generally, you should be ready to use Arise on any key roles in your party who go down. This is especially important during Trinity Avowed and the Queen, as your Cure IV caster and Aethershield tank are crucial to keeping everyone alive. If you can't get them up you can try to keep the party alive with your healing abilities or Lost Full Cure if you have it, but be wary of the buff cap.
There's slightly more pressure than normal to survive if the kill times are long, as you'll be the only provider of Limit Break 3. That said, tanks often carry Lost Sacrifice to raise any healers who are dead as LB3 is available so don't worry too much.
This special essence provides a large boost in damage, but requires significant external support and carries heavy risk. Do not use this essence without host permission, doing so is a quick way to find yourself left dead on the ground.
