Combat Talent Strategy

Field Surgery

The doctor has only this sole talent to assist with in Crew Combat. It is overall weaker than the options the Combat Medic has but does do more healing than a Cleansing Purge, the comparable 10 initiative talent, at the cost of no morale restoration. It is typically used as an emergency backup if your Combat Medic has died or is critically injured from a previous battle. A hybrid Combat Medic and Doctor officer might choose and use this talent for a cheaper but weaker Lifeline with no buff.
