Unit Analysis by Team BethelFrankel
Class
Healer with offensive capabilities and a hefty shield.
Overall
S
Advantages
+Best overall healing output in the game. Practically demanded for certain stages.
+Detonator style chain and active deal non-zero amounts of damage (huge, for a dedicated healer)
+Strong synergy with Lilica which turns his active shields into damage that can rival other detonators' Skill DPR.
Disadvantages
-Damage output is a marginal bonus which sometimes doesn't compensate you enough if you're not running Lilica.
Explanation
There was a meme for some time that "some dude named Boyfriend" outdid Bethlehem when they were released together... and, well, they're not wrong, at least at BT0. Novio is an incredibly potent healer with acceptable DPS and some absolutely game-breaking synergies with Lilica that make him a competitive DPS option in his own right. He also has very little competition: Victoria has issues in single-target content, Alice is weak, Liqing is a limited-time Welfare, and Philyshy is unusable in element-restricted content. While healing remains a tertiary concern, Novio is definitely the cream of the crop.
