Your favorite healer.

[Gremlin66]

Seems to be a few different ones out there. At the moment I have Lenny and the Slop Haulers.

What is every ones favorite?

It really is difficult to beat the efficiency of a single Slop Hauler. The only one that really seams to be able to provide healing on a similar level is the Lightning Bugs

[Gremlin66]

I'm looking at those. Nice looking figs. 

[Nosilloc]

With lightning bugs, are you shooting your own guy to heal him and everyone around him?  Well, as long as you don't kill him on accident I guess.

Personally I'd rather not shoot at my team mates. But hell know one really knows what happens high on shine in the Bayou. 

What happens in the Bayou stas in the Bayou. Even accidents. 

[Omenbringer]

You might be playing the wrong faction then, gremlin's are notorious for shooting one another. Sometimes this is accidentally, other times it is on purpose, and still yet other times it is done to impress other gremlins.

[Gremlin66]

I realize that. That's what the shine is for.

If I can get a few more of my buddies to convert to Malifaux it's an almost game winner for me when we start off. They'll be like "what the $##? did he just do)???

The Heal is a Pulse so won't Heal the initial target but otherwise, yes, that's the idea. Somer's Do it Like Dis gets you Masks that the Heal Trigger needs and it's incidentally also the Suit that's needed for Somer's Summoning - combo! Note also that Lenny nearby can mitigate the damage to the initial target.

Both slop haulers and lightning bugs are awesome healers.

With Som'er, lightning bugs are way more strong because you build a  to summon gremlin...so you can heal all 6 of them by just hitting somer once.

In other cases...it really depends but slop healer tend to be more reliable and self-dependent.

 I really like putting Quality Mash liquor on Old Major in my Ulix crews, mostly to heal Ulix while Ulix heals the pigs. It's 3 stones cheaper than a slop hauler and while I think slop haulers are fantastic, so does everyone else and they try to kill them quickly.  Old Major had a huge target on him to begin with so it doesn't hurt for him to have more healing. His buffs, massive wounds for birthin' and proximity to a prodding Ulix means he's probably pulling his weight even if he's only healing.

I will sometime try to put it on lenny, as he stops using his AP after tossing a few people and being lured to the right place

You can't put it on Lenny because it's Henchman or Master only, and he's an Enforcer.

I could have sworn the game text said it healed the target and then a pulse from it. But I've misread cards before.

If there's any scheme running, or I'm running Brewmaster, I bring Fingers.  I had a game last week with him where Brewmaster should have died a few times and just wouldn't (also had Drinking "Problem" on Fingers).  Mostly because he can go reckless and then heal 3 times with no TN to hit first.  He's also very resilient, and I don't think I've played a game where he's died when I wanted him kept alive.

 

If I don't bring Fingers, I almost always have Trixie with QML.  In situations like that, it's for emergency healing only, she isn't dedicated to it, and I usually do it when Show of Force is in the pool, even if I don't take it.  So she can just stay near the center and try to deny it for my opponent.
