Playing as a healer is an important role in legendary missions. A good healer knows not to die first, and if you're using the standard Future Initiative healer build, it can be difficult to stay alive while keeping your team healed. While it is possible to complete legendary missions with this build, why not use a more optimal healer build to make it easier for you and your team? With the right build, you can approach the mission with more confidence and improve the overall experience for everyone.
This build offers 90% explosive resistance, allowing you to withstand drones and other explosions that are common in legendary missions. Explosions are the main reason why players find legendary difficulty challenging to complete.
You can also configure this build to suit different needs, which is great and completely changes how the build works and plays. It's so effective that I'm very proud of it.
Build Customization
Chest Talents Options
You can run the Unbreakable talent on the chest, which will recover 95% of your armor every 60 seconds. It's like having a second life and can keep you in the fight. Unbreakable on a healer is not common, but it works well with this build, as it doesn’t affect your healing ability.
If your team needs more damage, you can use the Empathic Resolve talent on the chest. It will boost your teammates' damage by 15%.
If you feel you still need more healing, you can use the Kinetic Momentum talent on the chest to get a 30% increase to Repair Skills.
Double Overcharge
For a powerful talent combination in this build, you can use the chest talent Efficient. This talent gives you a 50% chance not to consume a Armor Kit. When paired with the backpack talent Energize, which uses Armor Kit to overcharge your skills, the logic is simple: the more Armor Kit you have, the more often you can overcharge.
You can stack overcharge with BTSU gloves, using them either at the same time or after the BTSU overcharge ends. The BTSU gloves can provide overcharge to the entire group, while the overcharge from the Energize talent only overcharges your skills.
It’s still a powerful combination because with overcharge, you heal more, and you can charge your Restorer Hive faster and have a larger radius for your healing skills. Getting your charges back is important because in legendary missions, players take a lot of damage, and you will run out of Restorer Hive charges quickly.
Backpack Talents Options
The Safeguard talent on the backpack can boost skill repair by 130%, allowing you to use fewer charges and fully heal teammates' health and shields.
The Opportunistic talent on the backpack can boost team weapon damage by 10%. You can use it alongside Empathic Resolve for a total 25% damage boost if you need to provide more damage.
Overclock talent on backpack can help your teammates with 25% reload speed and reduces their active cooldowns.

Gear
Richter & Kaiser GmbH: High-End
This brand set is ideal for this build because we benefit from all the set bonuses—nothing is wasted. Make sure to craft or farm with the right attributes so you can easily change talents and take advantage of the options mentioned above.
Richter & Kaiser GmbH Set Bonuses:

Incoming Repairs is a multiplier for the heals you receive from other agents and your own healing skills. This is important because it helps you stay in the fight longer and reduces the chances of dying as often.

BTSU Datagloves Gloves: Exotic
BTSU Datagloves are exotic gloves designed for healers and are essential for a healing build. They offer several benefits: first, when you have six skill tiers, you can overcharge by destroying the Restorer Hive before it runs out of charges. This overcharge will give you charges back faster in just a few seconds while also providing overcharge to all other allies' skills at the same time, as well as resetting the cooldowns of the entire group's Reviver Hive. You can overcharge every 2 minutes.
Lengmo: High-End
I use a single-piece Lengmo set just to get the 20% explosive resistance and 10% explosive attribute, for a total of 30% explosive resistance just from the kneepads.
Options for backpacks
Alps Summit Armament: High-End
The first option is the Alps Summit Armament backpack if you need more healing. With this, you'll unlock the first set bonus of +18% Repair Skills. If you have enough healing but need to boost damage, you can opt for a different backpack.
The Setup: High-End Named
The Setup is named backpack from Uzina Getica brand set. The first set bonus is 5% Total Armor, you can use this backpack with this build if you need to boosts teammates weapon damage . This named backpack comes with Perfectly Opportunistic which will boost teammate damage by 15% you can use this with Empathic Resolve talent on the chest. for 30% damage boost.
Weapon Options
Scorpio: Exotic
I suggest utilizing the Scorpio exotic shotgun as it allows you to shock enemies such as Hunters in Countdown and increase your teammates' damage output by 20%.
Lefty: High-End Named
I suggest focusing on acquiring a shotgun named Lefty, equipped with the Perfect Sledgehammer talent. Additionally, it's recommended to employ a shotgun to trigger the Opportunistic talent on your backpack. With Perfect Sledgehammer, your entire team will receive a 20% damage increase to armor.
Weapon Talent: Any High-End
You can equip the Reformation talent on any high-end weapon to gain +60% skill repair with each headshot, which is easy to activate. Use this talent if you need extra healing.

Specialization
Technician
The Technician specialization has the Enhanced Diagnostics passive talent, which gives you +10% Skill Healing. If you need more healing, go with Technician. You can also unlock the EMP grenade, which is useful in legendary missions as it can disable Warhounds and other robotics. The EMP grenade has a 5-meter radius, making it easier to use the Sledgehammer talent with the Lefty shotgun. Additionally, the Emergency Patch talent heals friendly proxies within 10 meters when you use an Armor Kit.
Firewall
You can also use the Firewall specialization to access the Firewall Tactical Link talent, which boosts team damage by 10% if the enemy is within 10 meters of you.
Skills
Your healing will be effected by the talents you use but here are the minimums you are guaranteed to get.
The Restorer Hive has a healing value of 481K, 36 charges, and a 1-second cooldown. For Restorer Hive mods, I use 5% healing, 4 repair charges, and a 10% duration mod, which you get from the Technician specialization. You can also add 5% duration when using the Firewall specialization. Expertise on the Restorer Hive is not needed, as it provides no benefit.
For the second skill, you should use the Reinforcer Chem Launcher. It has 8 ammo, a 1.4 million heal, and a repair-over-time of 287K. For mods, I recommend using 7.5% healing and +1 ammo, but you can also use 7.5% radius depending on what you need more.
