Ability & Special Effects
ABILITY — EXPLORER: Canteen When a Roster Dude takes damage below 30% HP , the Explorer Dude gives him a Sip from his Canteen to Heal him for 150% of his DPS . His Canteen can hold 2 sips and refills one sip every 3 seconds.
How to Use Explorer Dude
Explorer Dude is an automatic panic button — the moment a Dude drops below 30% HP, he hands them a Canteen that heals for 150% of his Attack Power. Pump his Attack Power to make each Sip bigger, and run him with fragile damage carries who tend to get caught out (Samurai, Ninja). The official guide highlights his River Raft Relic for a full survival kit. He is a backline healer: keep him out of the fight so his Sips stay available.
