Heal Beam

The Heal Beam is an ability in Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. It allows the Scientist class to heal allies, as well as see how much health they have.

Overview
Upon activating the heal beam, the player begins to heal the ally at a steady rate. The heal is not affected by transforming. After healing an ally for 230 points, the player will accumulate a heal point. Accumulating 3 points in a match will result in a score point. The player can see how close they are to their next heal point by looking at the plus icon in their ability indicator at the bottom right of the screen. Once the "plus" sign fills up completely, the player will get a heal point.

Statistics
The Heal Beam is a purely support ability, healing allies at a rate of about 90 hp per second. In addition, the Energon Recharge upgrade allows the player to regain 100 health after healing a set amount. The Battle Medic upgrade gives the player a 1.1 damage multiplier after healing a set amount. A regular heal beam heals for 8 seconds while one with Enpowered Beam heals for 16 seconds. The Heal Beam can lock on to any ally that is within 50 units and within Line of Sight. If the distance between the medic and the ally exceeds 65 units or Line of Sight is lost, the ally will stop being healed.

Strategies

 * The small damage boost you get from healing might be enough to kill an enemy before they get behind cover, however, this set does not have much close range power. It's probably best to run away if an enemy gets to close.
