The Healer class is a class within Dungeons that prioritises healing your teammates and keeping them alive. Building a setup for it depends on whether you want high ❁ Damage and ❤ Effective Health: high ❁ Damage results in better clearing potential, whereas high ❤ Effective Health results in better survivability. As a result, this guide will cover both aspects of a Healer build.

You'll want to increase your ☄ Mending as much as possible, as ☄ Mending increases all outgoing healing, meaning with high ☄ Mending, you can maximise your healing output.

It is best for Healers to prioritise completing as many Dungeon Secrets as possible before your party enters the boss room.

Recommended Armor Sets

As a Healer, you'll either want to go down the route of high ❁ Strength and ❁ Damage for substantial damage and clearing potential, or the route of high ❤ Health and ❈ Defense for substantial survivability and the ability to heal (because you can't heal while you're dead).

Damage Route
Status	Slot	Name	Requirements	Notes
Early Game		Strong Dragon Armor	Combat XVI  Catacombs XII (when dungeonised)	Strong Dragon Armor grants a decent amount of both ❁ Strength and ❤ Effective Health, and can be used for both high ❁ Damage and ❤ Effective Health. As a result, it is the best early-game Healer set and can be used for both routes.
Mid-Game		Shadow Assassin Armor	Floor V completion	Shadow Assassin Armor grants decent ❁ Damage and ✦ Speed, both of which work hand in hand to maximise both damage and movement potential. Great overall and can be used for both routes, however you could swap out the helmet for a  Mender Fedora,  Mender Crown, or  Reaper Mask.
Late Game		Necron's Armor	Floor VII completion	Necron's Armor grants a lot of ❁ Damage and ❤ Effective Health. Due to the way your stats scale while inside Dungeons, you'll be able to kill most mobs in one hit, allowing you to swap the helmet out for a  Mender Crown or  Reaper Mask. You should also swap out your boots for  Maxor's Boots for increased ✦ Speed.
Effective Health Route
Early Game		Superior Dragon Armor	Combat XX  Catacombs XIV (when dungeonised)	Superior Dragon Armor grants a small amount of ❁ Strength, ☠ Crit Damage, and ☣ Crit Chance, but it also has incredibly high ❈ Defense and ❤ Health, making it incredibly useful for survivability. However, it is incredibly expensive and can be skipped if you're not rich enough.
Early Game		Mender Helmet		The  Mender Helmet,  Mender Fedora, and  Mender Crown are great budget options for ☄ Mending, allowing you to greatly boost your outgoing healing. Depending on how little ☄ Mending you have, it could potentially be better to use a  Mender Crown for +100 ☄ Mending instead of a  Reaper Mask for 2x ☄ Mending: however, you should aim to get your ☄ Mending up in order to utilise the full benefits of the  Reaper Mask.
Early Game		Mender Fedora	Floor III completion
Mid-Game		Mender Crown	Floor VI completion
Mid-Game		Necromancer Lord Armor	Floor VI completion	Necromancer Lord Armor grants exceptionally high ❤ Health and ❈ Defense, outclassing both of the aforementioned sets in terms of survivability. Players struggling to afford a  Necromancer Lord Chestplate can swap it out for anything that grants similar levels of ❈ Defense, like a Perfect Chestplate - Tier XI or higher.
Universal		Reaper Mask	Zombie Slayer VII  Catacombs XXIV (when dungeonised)	The  Reaper Mask doubles your ☄ Mending, allowing you to achieve substantial levels of outgoing healing when paired with high ☄ Mending. It is the best option for Healers, regardless of whether you are using the Damage or Effective Health route.

Recommended Equipment

Proper Equipment, which is often overlooked, is also useful and necessary while in Dungeons. Here are some that will benefit your Healer experience.

Status	Slot	Name	Requirements	Notes
Early Game		Balloon Snake	Floor I completion	The  Balloon Snake should only be used as a placeholder until one obtains a superior piece, like a  Bone Necklace or a maxed out  Rift Necklace, since waiting until you obtain better equipment would be a waste of a slot.
Universal Early Game	Adaptive Belt (Starred)	Adaptive Belt	Floor II completion	The  Adaptive Belt is the best-in-slot Belt for Healer, granting a slight ❤ Health increase as well as +5 ☄ Mending: when accounting for the stat scaling for dungeonised items while in a Dungeon, the  Adaptive Belt heavily outclasses other Belts for ❤ Health.
Universal Early Game	Bone Necklace (Starred)	Bone Necklace	Floor IV completion	The  Bone Necklace is excellent for Healers, granting negligible ☣ Crit Chance and a substantial amount of ❈ Defense. It is cheap to upgrade and is the best-in-slot Necklace for Healers, outclassing a maxed-out  Rift Necklace.
Universal Mid-Game		Shadow Assassin Cloak	Floor V completion	Although the  Shadow Assassin Cloak does not give any defensive stats, when a Reforge with high ❤ Health or ❈ Defense - for example, Strengthened or Waxed - is applied to it, the stat scaling will greatly increase how much ❤ Effective Health you have while in a Dungeon, resulting in high survivability.
Universal Mid-Game		Soulweaver Gloves	Floor VI completion	Similar to the  Shadow Assassin Cloak, the  Soulweaver Gloves does not grant any defensive stats, but a proper Reforge can grant substantial bonus ❈ Defense while in a Dungeon. Additionally, its Haunted Skull ability has the capability to stun enemies and reduce their damage temporarily: this makes it very useful for clearing and killing mobs that are close to you. The  Soulweaver Gloves and  Gauntlet of Contagion have been frequently compared: it is not recommended to use a  Gauntlet of Contagion, since it doesn't scale with your Dungeon level.

Recommended Weapons

Since there are very few weapons directly oriented towards the Healer class, you should use weapons that are geared towards a Berserk, Archer, or Right-Click Mage.

Status	Slot	Name	Requirements	Notes
Berserk / Archer Route
Early Game		Super Cleaver		The  Super Cleaver is a great weapon for the early game, as it is both incredibly cheap and lacks any requirements. While an  Aspect of the Dragons will have more ❁ Damage and ❁ Strength, a  Super Cleaver is much more efficient for clearing mobs quickly and can be upgraded into the  Hyper Cleaver for a decently low price.
Early Game		Hyper Cleaver	Floor III completion	The  Hyper Cleaver is very useful for crowd control, with its Cleave ability being capable of clearing lots of enemies in a 4 block radius around it. It is also relatively cheap, only costing 800,000 coins in addition to its predecessor.
Early Game		Shadow Fury	Floor V completion	Sporting pretty good damage and a useful ability, the  Shadow Fury is useful although outclassed by other swords. With proper reforges and enchantments it can outdamage a lot of the previously mentioned weapons, and is just all in all a decent sword to use getting into higher floors.
Mid-Game		Giant Cleaver	Floor VI completion	The  Giant Cleaver is a very good weapon, outclassing the  Shadow Fury and  Aspect of the Dragons. Similar to its predecessor, it is very good for crowd control. It outdamages a lot of previously mentioned weapons, but you'll want to get something more powerful as soon, like the  Juju Shortbow or FoT/BoL, as possible.
Mid-Game		Flower of Truth	Floor VI completion	The  Flower of Truth is very cheap to craft, only requiring  9x Ancient Rose. It has decent damage and very high ❁ Strength, and is good for clearing mobs. It upgrades into the  Bouquet of Lies, which is more expensive, however, this upgrade is very much worthwhile.
Mid-Game		Bouquet of Lies	Floor VI completion	The  Bouquet of Lies is exceptional for clearing out mobs, dealing more ❁ Damage the less ❤ Health you have. It has less ❁ Damage than most other weapons here, but retains the high ❁ Strength that its predecessor has. Additionally, holding down right click while spamming left click allows you to constantly activate the ability whilst hitting the target, providing a large boost to damage per second. Because of its cheap price and strong ability, this weapon is a staple for Berserkers in The Catacombs - Floor VII or below. The  Bouquet of Lies is a solid weapon for Dungeons before transitioning to more Late Game weapons like the  Terminator.
Mid Game		Giant's Sword	Floor VI completion	The  Giant's Sword is one of the best weapons for single-hit damage in the game: it also has +1 Ⓢ Swing Range, allowing you to hit enemies from further. Its Giant's Slam ability can kill several enemies within an 8-block radius, and is useful for weapon swapping with the  Halberd of the Shredded. However, unlike the  Giant Cleaver and  Bouquet of Lies, it is less effective for clearing; it serves as a purely melee weapon. Do not that it is not worth buying off of the Auction House, and should only be used if y
Mid-Game		Juju Shortbow	Enderman Slayer V  Catacombs XV (when dungeonised)	The  Juju Shortbow is commonly regarded as one of the best bows in the game, second to only the  Terminator. However, this is a very good second, as the Juju Shortbow is relatively cheap to craft, at around a Bazaar material cost of about 10,100,000 coins. When tuned to 100% ⚔ Bonus Attack Speed, enchanted to Soul Eater, starred, hot/fuming potatoed, and reforged to Precise, it is a powerhouse for clearing when one isn't Eman Slayer 7.
Late Game		Terminator	Enderman Slayer VII  Catacombs XXVII (when dungeonised)	The  Terminator is commonly regarded as the best bow in the game. While it divides your ☣ Crit Chance by 4, it is exceptional for clearing mobs and has incredibly high ❁ Damage and ☠ Crit Damage. It is advised to aim for 400% ☣ Crit Chance to guarantee that every strike critically hits.
Mage Route
Early Game		Dreadlord Sword	Catacombs III	The  Dreadlord Sword's Dreadlord ability, which shoots out Wither Skulls, will be very useful in very early floors up to Floor II. It is incredibly cheap and drops relatively frequently from Crypt Dreadlords.
Early Game	Bonzo's Staff (Starred)	Bonzo's Staff	Floor I completion	The  Bonzo's Staff's Showtime ability, which shoots out balloons that explode on impact, is incredibly useful for clearing out mobs quickly. The balloons will deal minimal knockback to the player, which can be useful as you can use it for mobility in Floor VII as teleportation abilities are disabled there.
Early Game		Frozen Scythe	Ice X  Catacombs X (when dungeonised)	The  Frozen Scythe's Ice Bolt ability, which shoots an ice bolt that deals substantial damage and slows enemies, is useful for its capability to pierce through mobs: however, the  Bonzo's Staff is superior for AoE damage. It can be unlocked relatively early into the game.
Early Game	Glacial Scythe (Starred)	Glacial Scythe	Ice XI  Catacombs X (when dungeonised)	The  Glacial Scythe is an upgraded form of the  Frozen Scythe, functioning the same but with higher ❁ Damage and ✎ Intelligence. Its Ice Bolt ability also creates an explosion upon hitting the ground dealing the same damage as it would when hitting a mob, making it useful for clearing and AoE damage: however, it is relatively expensive and could potentially be skipped.
Mid-Game		Spirit Sceptre	Floor IV completion	The  Spirit Sceptre grants high ✎ Intelligence, and its Guided Bat ability shoots a bat that follows your aim and explodes, dealing substantial AoE damage, making it extremely efficient for clearing. It is most recommended to complete Floor IV as soon as possible to obtain the  Spirit Sceptre.
Mid-Game		Yeti Sword	Catacombs XXII (when dungeonised)	The  Yeti Sword grants substantially less ✎ Intelligence than most other entries listed. Its Terrain Toss ability throws terrain into the direction you are facing: while it is powerful against minibosses, it is less efficient for clearing and very expensive compared to a  Spirit Sceptre.
Late-Game	Midas Staff (Starred)	Midas Staff	Catacombs XXV (when dungeonised)	The  Midas Staff is a powerful weapon: its Molten Wave ability casts a wave of gold blocks in the direction you are facing, making it very powerful for clearing and against minibosses. It is incredibly expensive and time-gated, being an exclusive item only obtainable during Scorpius's Darker Auctions event and requiring 250,000,000 coins coins to utilise to its fullest potential.
Late-Game		Hyperion	Floor VII completion	The  Hyperion is the definitive RCM weapon, granting substantial ✎ Intelligence and increased ✎ Intelligence per Catacombs level: when all Necron's Blade Scrolls are applied, its Wither Impact ability combines the functionalities of  Implosion,  Wither Shield, and  Shadow Warp. However, it is also the most expensive weapon on the list, with the  Necron's Handle being valued at over 500,000,000 coins and each Necron's Blade Scroll being valued at over 180,000,000 coins each.

Recommended Utility Items

Status	Slot	Name	Requirements	Notes
Universal		Florid Zombie Sword	Catacombs XVIII (when dungeonised)	The  Florid Zombie Sword is a useful item for Healers, since its ability not only grants decent burst healing to you and all players within an 8 block radius, but you also gain 2 extra charges when playing as a Healer. It is great for burst healing over time.
Universal	Ice Spray Wand (Starred)	Ice Spray Wand	Catacombs XX	The  Ice Spray Wand is incredibly useful for clearing, as it stuns mobs in a frontal cone and causes them to take 10% increased damage: this allows you to finish them off without worrying about taking substantial damage. You can use  Winter Fragments to upgrade it, but it is relatively expensive on the Bazaar and you are better off grinding for them durin gthe Season of Jerry.
Universal	Bonzo's Mask (Starred)	Bonzo's Mask	The Catacombs - Floor I completion	The  Bonzo's Mask is incredibly useful for preventing you from dying, with its Clownin' Around ability granting damage immunity and health replenishment on death.
Late Game	Spirit Mask (Starred)	Spirit Mask	Catacombs XV	The  Spirit Mask is incredibly useful especially when used in tandem with the  Bonzo's Mask, since you can use its Second Wind ability while the Clownin' Around ability is on cooldown. It is very cheap to craft the  Spirit Mask into its upgraded form, which heals you for 100 + 3% of your maximum ❤ Health.
Late Game		Wither Cloak Sword	The Catacombs - Floor VII completion	The  Wither Cloak Sword's Creeper Veil ability is incredibly useful for blocking damage and granting a lot of ❈ Defense. It is best used when trying to block attacks that have the capability to instantly kill you, like Storm's Giga Lightning.
Mid-Game		Overflux Power Orb	Wolf Slayer VII	The  Overflux and  Plasmaflux Power Orb are useful items that grant substantial ❣ Health Regen, ♨ Vitality, ❁ Strength, and mana regen to your teammates, making it viable for scenarios where your teammates will need to be close together (i.e. fighting Goldor at the Core Entrance, fighting Necron at the centre platform, etc.) Note that the  Plasma Nucleus, used in crafting the Plasmaflux Power Orb, is incredibly expensive.
Late Game		Plasmaflux Power Orb	Wolf Slayer VIII

Recommended Pets

A good Pet is important for both clearing, survivability, and efficient Healer progression.

Status	Slot	Name	Requirements	Notes
Universal	Legendary Black Cat Pet	Black Cat Pet		The  Black Cat Pet is exceptional for ✦ Speed, granting both +125 ✦ Speed and increasing your ✦ Speed cap. Since it lacks any damage stats, it is recommended to put an  Antique Remedies or  Hephaestus Remedies on it. Note that it is NOT worth upgrading to MYTHIC, since its Looting perk is not very useful and its base ✦ Speed is not affected.
Late Game		Jellyfish Pet		The  Jellyfish Pet, while incredibly expensive, is exceptional for healing. Its Radiant Scyphozoa perk reduces the mana costs of Power Orbs by 50% and its Stored Energy perk reduces the cooldown of Wish by 1s, up to 30s, for every 2000 ❤ Health healed.
Late Game		Golden Dragon Pet		The  Golden Dragon Pet is the best-in-slot pet for Healers for raw damage. At this stage of the game, your gear will be sufficient enough to provide substantial healing, and you need to focus on achieving high ❁ Damage and DPS for clearing and the boss fight, which this pet provides through its base ❁ Strength, base ⚔ Bonus Attack Speed, and its Shining Scales and Legendary Treasure perks.

Recommended Modifiers

Enchantments

Enchantment	Notes
Armor
Protection	Protection and Growth are the universal enchantments that should be put on everything regardless of your situation.
Growth
Rejuvenate	Rejuvenate grants a decent amount of ❣ Health Regen, making it great for survivability. It is relatively cheap and easy to go for, and you should aim to have Rejuvenate V on all your armour pieces as soon as possible.
Strong Mana	Strong Mana grants increased ❁ Strength based on how much ✎ Mana is used near you, allowing for increased ❁ Damage against bosses.
Sugar Rush	Sugar Rush, an enchantment applicable exclusively to boots, is great for getting increased ✦ Speed. It can be used if you do not have a  Black Cat Pet, but is also incredibly useful when paired with it as well.
Legion	Legion is the best Ultimate Enchantment for Healers, since you'll likely be around your teammates at all times during the boss fight.
Weapons
Soul Eater	Soul Eater and Swarm are both useful Ultimate Enchantments to put on your weapons, due to their excellence in clearing. Soul Eater deals increased damage based on the last mob you hit, whereas Swarm deals more damage the more enemies are around you.
Swarm
Duplex	Duplex is the best Ultimate Enchantment on Bows for raw damage and DPS, and should always be paired with a  Juju Shortbow or  Terminator.

Reforges

Proper Reforges will be important for surviving as a Healer.

Weapons

Status	Slot	Name	Notes
Early Game		Spicy	Spicy is useful for ☠ Crit Damage and will be viable for clearing.
Optional		Suspicious Vial Suspicious	Suspicious is an incredibly useful reforge for both ☣ Crit Chance and ☠ Crit Damage, as well as increasing your weapon's ❁ Damage, making it viable for clearing. It is recommended to apply it to a  Astraea or  Scylla.
Universal		Dragon Claw Fabled	Fabled grants great ❁ Strength and ☠ Crit Damage, as well as granting a chance for critical hits to deal +15% more damage. It's great for starting out in the Catacombs, as well as running through later floors: it is comparable to the Withered reforge.
Universal		Wither Blood Withered	Withered allows you to achieve the most ❁ Strength in dungeons and is considered the best reforge for weapons. It is recommended to keep your ❁ Strength and ☠ Crit Damage balanced for optimum DPS, so pairing this with a weapon with high base ☠ Crit Damage, or a reforge with high ☠ Crit Damage is recommended.

Armor

Status	Slot	Name	Notes
Early Game		Fierce	Fierce grants high ☠ Crit Damage and ❁ Strength, alongside a slight increase to ☣ Crit Chance, making it incredibly useful for high damage.
Mid-Game		Giant Tooth Giant	Giant grants the most ❤ Health out of any of the mentioned reforges and is most useful on a  Reaper Mask. However, it is much more recommended to wear a helmet that prioritises high damage, like a  Primordial Helmet,  Necron's Helmet, or  Diamond Necron Head.
Late Game		Precursor Gear Ancient	Ancient grants incredibly high, well-rounded stats: most notably, it grants +1 ☠ Crit Damage per  Catacombs level, which scales inside Dungeons. It is the best reforge for high damage: at this point, you'll be able to heal your teammates so efficiently to the point where you can fully prioritise dealing substantial damage over increasing your outgoing healing/

Accessory Powers

Magical Power is arguably the most important stat in the game, and you should aim to have 1200 Magical Power by the time you enter Master Mode - Floor VII.

Status	Slot	Name	Notes
Early Game		Luxurious Spool Silky	Silky grants incredibly high ☠ Crit Damage, as well as a minuscule amount of ⚔ Bonus Attack Speed. It is exceptional if you have at least 100% ☣ Crit Chance, which everyone should aim to have, although it is recommended to keep your ❁ Strength and ☠ Crit Damage balanced.
Early Game		Furball Itchy	Itchy balances out ❁ Strength, ☠ Crit Damage, and ⚔ Bonus Attack Speed: while it gives less ☠ Crit Damage than Silky, it balances out all stats relatively evenly, resulting in higher damage.
Early Game		Ender Monocle Sighted	Sighted grants a lot of ✎ Intelligence and minimal ๑ Ability Damage, which will be incredibly useful if you are using a Mage setup to clear rooms efficiently. It is also the best budget power for ✎ Intelligence, with the only Accessory Power outclassing it being Bizarre, costing hundreds of millions of coins.
Mid-Game		Magma Urchin Hurtful	Hurtful grants high ❁ Strength, substantial ☠ Crit Damage, and decent ⚔ Bonus Attack Speed. It is incredibly useful for clearing, but is decently rare and expensive.
Universal		Fortuitous	Fortuitous grants the most ☣ Crit Chance out of any Accessory Power, and should be what you aim to use if you are using a  Terminator as a Healer: it is recommended to use an Archer setup in later floors of Master Mode as a Tank, since a  Terminator heavily outdamages almost all Berserk damage.

Attributes

Slot	Name	Notes
	Flash Shard Light Elemental	Grants +1-10 ❁ Strength, maxing out at +50 ❁ Strength with all Elemental Shards maxed out. Buffed by the Echo of Elemental attribute, increasing the effect of these attributes by +20%.

	Bolt Shard Lightning Elemental
	Aero Shard Wind Elemental

	Grove Shard Nature Elemental	Grants +1-10 ❤ Health, maxing out at +50 ❤ Health with all Elemental Shards maxed out. Buffed by the Echo of Elemental attribute, increasing the effect of these attributes by +20%.
	Bramble Shard Wood Elemental
	Sylvan Shard Forest Elemental
	Terra Shard Earth Elemental
	Tenebris Shard Shadow Elemental
	Zombie Soldier Shard Undead Ruler	Undead Ruler, Skeletal Ruler, and Humanoid Ruler are incredibly important for Healers who struggle to clear, as it grants a large damage boost against ༕ Undead, 🦴 Skeletal, and ✰ Humanoid mobs, which appear most in the Catacombs. They are buffed by Echo of Ruler, which boosts all ❁ Damage gained from the Ruler attributes by +20%.
	Chill Shard Skeletal Ruler
	Drowned Shard Humanoid Ruler
	Prince Shard Reborn	Reborn boils down to free Dungeon Score when killing a Prince. It is a must-have, especially for Healers who prioritise doing Secrets and blowing up Crypts.
	Caiman Shard Echo of Ruler	Echo of Ruler is incredibly useful as it boosts the damage of Undead Ruler, Skeletal Ruler, and Humanoid Ruler, making it exceptional for clearing.
	Shellwise Shard Shell	Shell should be maxed out as soon as possible, since it grants immunity to ALL ⬱ Knockback and allows you to use a Pet Item other than a  Dwarf Turtle Shelmet: for example,  Antique Remedies for ❁ Strength,  Crochet Tiger Plushie for ⚔ Bonus Attack Speed, etc.
	Scarf Shard Catacombs Graduate	Catacombs Graduate boosts ALL Class XP gain, making it a lot easier to level up your Healer class.
