Dorothy Animus Spotlight

Lynx Dorothy is one of the first healers you’ll encounter in Etheria: Restart, and she brings a unique spin to the role with her attack-scaling healing mechanics. Rather than healing based on her HP or flat values, Dorothy converts attack into healing and even into shields, allowing her to play both supportive and offensive roles. While she might not offer massive team buffs or AoE cleanses like higher-rarity healers, her accessibility and versatility make her an important early-game asset—if you build her right.

In this Article, we are going to be breaking down the best ways to utilize Dorothy, and how to gear her for the best possible results.

Marvelous Staff (Skill 1)

Deals 260% damage to a single enemy and heals the ally with the lowest HP% for 150% of the damage dealt. A solid attack-based single-target heal that also contributes to damage.

All-Purpose Casket (Skill 2)

Heals a single ally for 320% of Dorothy’s ATK, purifies all debuffs, and applies Casket’s Remedy for 2 turns.

• Casket’s Remedy: At the start of the target’s turn, heals for 100% of Dorothy’s ATK. Excess healing converts into a shield (60% conversion ratio). This effect adds sustained protection and allows her heals to double as shielding.

Casket’s Blessing (Skill 3)

Heals all allies for 250% of Dorothy’s ATK and applies a 3-turn Casket’s Remedy to everyone. This gives the entire party a gradual healing + shield mechanic, perfect for longer fights or mitigating chip damage.

Priority Order: Skill 3 → Skill 2 → Skill 1

Pros:

• Attack-scaling healing means she can double as a light DPS early on.
• Casket’s Remedy provides both healing and shielding, giving extra survivability.
• Teamwide cleanse with Skill 2 at max investment.
• Accessible early-game healer, great introduction to hybrid healers.

Cons:

• High skill and gear requirement to perform at peak. She needs both investment in skills and good attack-based gear to scale well.
• Squishy without proper defensive sets or substats—more fragile than tankier healers.
• Limited burst healing, making her less ideal for urgent recovery scenarios compared to characters like Aia.
• Dependent on rotation—if she gets locked down or delayed, healing can fall behind.
