Players who want to level up their Brave Exvius experience might want to consider getting the best healers for their party. After all, they form the lifeline of any party with a fragile magic-user and a melee-specializing vanguard. With this in mind, who are the best healers that players should acquire?
10 Blue Mage Fina
Thanks to a mysterious voice, Fina can finally start her journey into becoming like Dark Fina, and the first step in this process is to become Blue Mage Fina. Her nature as a Healer/Support unit brings both survivability and utility to the table, making her one of the best units in this department. She boasts decent MP, MAG, and SPR stats that improve further in her Brave Shift, which is extremely useful on a base level.
However, Fina truly shines in her slate of effective abilities. Her Crowning Veil (Special) allows her to add Light to all of her allies’ attacks, boosting their affinities. Not only that, her Reverse Hearts (Special) can revive all KO’d allies at max HP, while at the same time Prime Heal (Special) can cure allies and remove all their status ailments. As a kicker, her Dualcast (Special) can let her cast two non-Blue Magic spells in her arsenal, making her a mean caster in a single turn.
9 Divine Beast Chow
Divine Beast Chow was created from the spirit of a dog who once saved a king from a would-be assassin. It’s this valorous act that Chow became a Divine Beast, endowing him with the impressive powers of a Healer, Support, and Magic Tank. One of the most efficient units in the magic defense department, Divine Beast Chow boasts immense tanking potential with his high HP, while at the same time possessing more than enough MP and SPR to consistently support the team.

Divine Beast Chow’s most interesting aspect comes from his skillset. Although classified as a Healer, he doesn’t have a “direct” healing ability. Rather, his Most Loyal Of Hearts (Special) is an ailment-cure that also provides a huge HP shield to allies. He can stack this with his other impressive support skills, such as True Guardian’s Blessing (Special) to cure stat-breaks and boost resistances, as well as Kind Protector (Special) to get aggro from opponents and receive mitigated damage.
8 Aerith
Showstopper Aerith of Final Fantasy 7 returns to Brave Exvius, this time through her original game counterpart. This flower seller from Midgar might seem meek, but her status as a Healer and Support make her one of the most unparalleled units. She boasts decent HP and MP, but more so packs a punch with her MAG and SPR that make her more than capable of dishing out powerful spells.
Aerith’s most impressive elements in her arsenal lie in her healing and revives. Her Healing Wind (Special), Prayer Of The Cetra (Special), and White Materia (Special) are her go-to healing magic, both of which are straightforward enough. Meanwhile, Overflowing Life (Special), Lifestream (Special), and Miracle Of Life (Special) serve as her individual revives. In addition to her many revive spells, Aerith has a lot of debuff-cancellers and stat-boosters in her arsenal that players can use to adjust their units’ stats in almost any situation.
7 Myra
Known as a talented performer, Myra suddenly finds herself lacking her singing voice. In her search for a cure, she’s able to master the healing arts, becoming a potent Healer and Support for Brave Exvius. Despite her inability to perform, she’s more than capable of holding her own as a healing unit with MP stores, which, when used with her MAG and SPR, can help her spells buff allies more efficiently.

Myra is particularly an interesting choice for a Healer due to her balanced toolkit. She has nifty healing with Hit Single (Special) alongside Dual White Magic (Special), as well as emergency revives via Behind The Scenes (Special) and Save Me (Special). However, she excels with her other spells, as she’s more than capable of decreasing an enemy’s magic defense while simultaneously boosting her team’s attacks.
6 Folka
When Folka secured the armor of the Sworn Eight, she transformed from the Veritas of the Waters and into the first Water Priestess. This transformation endowed her with enough magical prowess to become one of the best Healers, Supports, and Magical Attackers in the game. Stats-wise, Folka has enough MP and SPR to dish out her best support spells. Her trademark skills focus on boosting resistance to most ailments, courtesy of Sobering Waters (Special) and Flowing Waters (Special).
Folka isn’t without her share of healing as well. Her Water Screen (Special) is her go-to basic heal, while Serpent Guard (Special), Cerulean Shell (Special), and Ancient Aquarium (Special) provide not just healing, but much-needed damage mitigation as well. Players in need of resistance-builders and constant healing will undoubtedly make use of Folka.
5 Warrior Of Light Lenna
Among one of the first Warriors of Light in the franchise, Lenna accompanies the young adventurer Bartz in their journey to the Wind Shrine and see the Wind Crystal. Until then, players of Brave Exvius can tap into Lenna’s specialization as a Healer and Support unit. Her stats boast decent HP as well as remarkably decent MP, DEF, MAG, and SPR, making her a rather well-balanced defensive fighter.
Lenna also has a nifty set of healing abilities, capable of not just restoring HP but also curing various ailments. Her Princess’s Devotion (Special) and Princess’s Inspiration (Special) are her go-to HP and MP restoration powers, respectively. She can also tap into Dance Of Glimmering Water (Special), Prayer Of Devotion (Special), and Pure Healing (Special) for more powerful spells. These are on top of her ailment cures, resistance boosters, and multi-casting options.
4 Doctor Aiden
Quick to anger and combative to a fault, Doctor Aiden is both a competent fighter and a decent spellcaster. His training in both arts allowed gave him some of the best-balanced kits as a Healer and Physical Tank. In turn, he boasts decent HP and MP, as well as high MAG and SPR marks. While his ATK and DEF may need some work, his stat-boosting spells may more than make up for this.

A reflection of Doctor Aiden’s capacity as a fighting-cleric is his toolkit. In addition to standard heals such as Operate - Sterilization (Special) and Operate - Antibodies Boost (Special), he can bolster team defenses while healing through Operate - An Apple A Day (Special), Operate - What The Doctor Ordered (Special), and Operate - Spoonful Of Sugar (Special). Perhaps more devastating is that while Doctor Aiden can cure almost any stat debuffs and ailments, he’s more than capable of drastically decreasing the DEF values of opponents as well.
3 Ignis
Perhaps the most quiet and tactically-immersive member of Prince Noctis Caelum’s troupe in FF15, Ignis also boasts a remarkable toolkit as a Healer/Support hybrid in Brave Exvius. A member of the Kingsguard, Ignis boasts not just decent MAG and SPR values, but also remarkably high ATK and DEF for his class. In turn, it makes sense for Ignis to be more of a combative healer than a full-blown support unit.
For instance, Ignis’s most potent heals come from Regroup (Special) and revival through Regenerate (Special). However, his most impressive skill is perhaps Double Tactics (Special), which grants ridiculous defensive and resistance boosts to allies. These are on top of Sage’s Stratagem (Special), which is a nifty damage mitigator. Ignis also boasts a whole swath of stat-boosters and unique set of attacks.
2 Rena
Hailing from the Star Ocean universe is Rena, bringing with her a slate of healing powers that make her one of the most competent spellcasters in Brave Exvius. Tagged as a Healer, Support, and Magic Attacker hybrid, Rena is a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield for her slate of magic attacks and impressive heals. While she doesn’t shine as much on the ATK and DEF front, her decent MP, MAG, and SPR bolster her expertise as a mage.
Rena’s well-balanced toolkit makes her one of the best Healers in the game. She has a multitude of Specials geared towards healing, such as Faerie Healing, Faerie Light, and Cure All. In addition, Rena has impressive revives through Raise Dead and Raise Dead +. On top of these healing capabilities, Rena can significantly bolster an ally’s stats through Specials like Power Up, Guard, and Reflection. Finally, with attacks through Specials like Laser Beams, Star Flare, and Light Cross, Rena is a magical powerhouse. She’s truly one of the best choices for a team in Brave Exvius.
1 Lucas
Brave Exvius’s most potent Healer is a surprising individual: a mechanical robot. Lucas, an enchanted castle guardian, is not just a Healer and Support unit but also a Magic Tank, capable of both defending the frontlines and healing those who need it. His impressive HP and DEF make him a hulking figure to behold, whereas his decent MP, MAG, and SPR imply that he has more than enough magical juice to power up his spells.
As expected, Lucas has impressive aggro-mitigation skills through Surveillance Lights (Special), paired with nifty protection abilities through Specials like Magical Refuge, Enchanted Aegis, Mythical Sanctuary, and Elemental Cover. Not only that, he can augment his physical attacks with elements through Guardians Fire, Ice, and Wind (Specials), and even deal devastating long-ranged blows through Flurry Cannon (Special). A unit that can both damage and heal is invaluable on the battlefield, and Lucas fulfills that role wonderfully.
