Redo of a Healer? Yeah. Pretty sure it is.

I dunno. There's a few animes that did similar. I'd have to find it, but there was one that was called something like "battle healer" who, at one point, started throwing punches infused with healing energy, just so he could beat them up some more, lol

If you find it shoot a reply or something! I’m not opposed to the idea, and would love to see something that wasn’t just revenge porn haha

I think they're talking about "the wrong way to use healing magic" , iirc the leader of a military healing squad had it that her squad had to be super fast and strong to rescue people in the front lines, so they do intense physical training and keep healing themselves to train pretty much 24/7, and the main character had something special about his healing magic (iirc it was being able to heal both others and himself, when most other people could just do one or the other)

I found it! It was actually called "The Wrong Way To Use Healing Magic". I believe in 2021 it got approved for an anime, but the manga is pretty hilarious. The main character basically got summoned on accident, and learned he had an affinity for healing magic, to which he begins some rather nightmarish training, because he can just heal his body if it becomes injured. It isn't a super amazing read, but it is rather enjoyable.

That's pretty much Maam from Dragon Quest, too.

If we say Worm on enough of these prompts then Parahumans can achieve the same "what could it possibly even be about" status as Homestuck.

Amy was a great character and also underwhelming in her impact. Sure she's a walking mcguffin but she could have been more of a character.

Have you read the sequel? Feel like she gets quite a bit more development there.

This is Kabuto Yakushi, full stop. I would've said Tsunade or Sakura, but they rarely use their medical knowledge while fighting...

Or Xenoblade Chronicles 2's Nia. She literally kills a guy using healing magic

There was a different Manga (not Redo of a Healer) whose name escapes me, but it turns out that healers are extremely rare and insanely powerful soldiers because they can just heal themselves after strenuous training and keep going. Basically a decade of hardcore training in 6-12 months.

But it's stressed that Healers are not supposed to fight on the battlefield. Sure, one healer could take on 1000 enemies by themselves... but by rescuing injured soldiers on the battlefield using their super stats, they can have the soldiers re-enter the battle as reinforcements, and keep the army going strong after the fight, allowing the army to continue marching the next day with little delay.

There’s a video game where one of the healer characters weaponizes their healing powers to give the enemy super cancer, which could work really well for this prompt.
