Specialist Restoration Skill Question

[Cahos Rahne Veloza]

Just a quick little question this time around.

I know in the description "Restoration" heals or revives each squadmate as required. But can only be used once per mission. Now my question is, "Does the skill need your Specialist to have full Medikit charges for the skill to work?".

Nope. You don't need any medkit/medical protocol charges at all to use it. You could have combat protocol, haywire protocol, and no medkit, and still use restoration.

No. It is a seperate heal.
Further.. it can *Unpanic* AND *heal* the same target, including multiple targets, before it moves to the next soldier to heal.
Its a great Panic Button if things are getting grim (1 panic soldier that needs to move to survive next turn, and 3 needing 5hp heal).

didnt think about blending combat/hayware and resto... thats actually a pretty strong combo... and good sence to level a few Spec's early game.

Both of you, thanks for the very helpful replies :)

I just asked because I used to follow the "Recommended build" topics over at PC gamer and their guides recommended "Capacitor Discharge" for both Specialist builds (Hacker and Medic).

I've stopped following their build guides though.
