Didn’t realize it still bleeds your friendly.

Nothing strange here, behaves exactly as documented.

@Wingnut-1352

Why the hell even bother leveling up the bleed part!!??

And why not? You’ve got better plans for those coins?

@Wingnut-1352

The best way to use this would be to keep the bleed at rank 1 and max the heal. After all, the main objective is to change the role for burst damage or defensively. This discourages someone from maxing this merc, as the bleed does too much damage to be worth it in a fight lasting more than two turns. Think about it; you can’t use it until you need a heal in turn two, So it’s discouraging it’s use on turn one. By this time you could have been burst down.

You could also use it on an enemy, you know.

One more thing: it used to be at speed 7, then got buffed, but now the healing part, which also negates the bleeding in an optimal-case scenario, is a bit awkward if used immediately, since your merc is unlikely to be damaged at speed 2 (see also some more explanation below).

@Wingnut-1352

Is this as ridiculous as it seems in play?

‘Ridiculous I say. Ridiculous’.

@Wingnut-1352

This is very strange. I had done two runs with this new equipment and had the same results. I then made a third run, trying to determine if I should scrap the entire build, when I realized it was no longer bleeding. I made absolutely no changes at all. I’ll continue to test this and determine if there is a bug.

Further testing shows that it bleeds if the friendly is at full health.

There is absolutely nothing strange here: bleeding is removed by healing, see also this for more details.
