Folinic is a five-star, single-target healer. The only way to get her is from the Twilight of Wolumonde event as a reward for Burnt Offerings. We are yet to find out if she will be made available again for players who missed this event.

Skills
Max-Dosage Infusion
This skill raises the Attack of allies within Folinic’s range. At Level 7, it offers Attack range +1 tile and Attack + 50%. At maximum Mastery, Attack range +2 tiles and Attack + 80%. The duration of the skill is 40 seconds.
At the L1-L7 range, her skill affects almost half of the whole map, but it is not that special. Silence is a good alternative if you already built her, as her drones can be used to fill the whole map.
Compound Drug Shells
Attacks will fire a Compound Drug Shell that prioritizes enemies. It will heal nearby allies in the tile where it hits and deals damage to the enemies. At Level 7, surrounding allies are healed by 120% of the unit’s Attack and deals 150% Arts damage to enemies. At maximum Mastery, allies are healed by 150% of the unit’s Attack and deals 200% Arts damage to enemies.
This is practically an AoE heal that also deals damage, but it heals at a limited range. However, it can be quite hard to use since this Attack cannot be aimed at. Operators that do not need healing may be the ones benefiting instead of the ones that do. The damage dealt on the enemies is not that great either because Folinic generally has low DPS.
Warfarin is a good alternative to deal additional damage if you already have her built.
Base Skills
- Toxicology α – the production rate of a byproduct is increased by 75% when Folinic is assigned to process elite material in a Workshop.
- Meticulous – Morale’s cost is reduced by -1 for formulas that cost 2 Morale when Folinic is assigned to process elite material in a Workshop.
Verdict
Overall, Folinic is a unique healer. Her skills are quite situational, and Silence and Warfarin could be good alternatives. You can place her near environmental hazards, and her talent can just scale down the damage she’s getting. She can also heal allies and deal damage against enemies at the same time. If you’re a player who enjoys developing unconventional strategies, though, then Folinic may be worth giving a shot. Her skills could be difficult to use for most, but it all boils down to how well she will fit in your strategy.
