Reiki

Reiki is an Exploration Age Japanese Monastery technology that enables Sohei Archers to heal friendly units. It adds a support action to that specific unit line; it does not make every Japanese unit a healer.

Sohei Archers can heal friendly units

Research effect

Research costs 200 Wood and 100 Coin and takes 15 seconds. The effect requires access to Sohei Archers and applies to them after the upgrade. Healing complements their combat role by allowing them to support injured allies between or during engagements, subject to the game’s ability rules.

Research condition

Japanese · Exploration Age · Monastery · 200 Wood · 100 Coin · 15 seconds · enables healing for Sohei Archers.

Cost and prerequisites

Research Reiki when Sohei Archers will accompany the army and there is time to benefit from their healing. Keep them behind the frontline and protected while they support damaged units. If the army lacks Sohei Archers or needs immediate combat strength, compare the Monastery investment with units and upgrades that solve the current problem directly.
