# Medkit — Anime Apocalypse Gadget

**Tier:** D · **Rarity:** common
**Credibility:** verified_single_source · **As of:** 2026-05-13

## Effect

Instant heal — small HP recovery. D-tier insufficient endgame healing per FRVR.

## Notes

**Medkit** is the entry-level D-tier healing gadget — provides a small instant heal. FRVR marks it as D-tier because endgame Survival HP pools far exceed the Medkit's heal value.

## When to swap

Roll past Medkit toward **Energy Shield** or **Infinity** (defensive bubbles) as soon as you start hitting Survival wave 20+.

## Effect detail

Per frontmatter `effect_text`, Medkit is an instant-heal gadget with a small HP recovery value. The gadgets tier-snapshot (`tier-snapshots/index.json`, category `gadgets`, 2026-05-13) records the explicit note **"Insufficient endgame protection."** — the same rationale `docs/04-tier-list.md` §2.3.3 attaches to "Medkit / Basic Shield" jointly. The exact heal amount is not enumerated in the FRVR tier list nor the Discord `❔ faq` forum threads tracked in `docs/04`.

## Best modes

Per `docs/04-tier-list.md` §1.5 (Shiroo死, 2026-05-09), the official tier list splits gadgets across three mode-specific rankings — **Beginner gadget tier list**, **Raid gadget ranking**, and **Survival / Infinity gadget ranking**. Medkit only fits the Beginner bucket, and even there its survivability-first role is duplicated by [Basic Shield](/gadgets/basic-shield/). Foong's _Meta Build_ thread (§1.1.1, §1.1.2, §1.1.3) names Rage, Black Hole, and Infinity as the cosmetic-slot picks for Raid / Survival / Infinite — Medkit is absent from every mode-tier loadout.

## Tier positioning

Sits at D tier in the gadgets snapshot alongside Basic Shield, with `sources_supporting: 1` (FRVR only). The placement carries the `verified_single_source` credibility label — the rationale is documented in two places (FRVR tier list + `docs/04-tier-list.md` §2.3.3) but the underlying data is one source.

## Synergies & comparison

Healing gadgets compete with defensive bubbles for the single cosmetic slot. Compared to [Energy Shield](/gadgets/energy-shield/) (A-tier defensive damage-reduction window) and [Infinity](/gadgets/infinity/) (A-tier, 15-second impenetrable bubble per `effect_text`), Medkit's reactive instant-heal cannot outpace endgame Survival damage-per-second. For Beginner survival use, pair Medkit with sustain-leaning ability/pet picks: [Saiyan](/abilities/saiyan/) (V-skill auto-revive backstop) and [Igris](/pets/igris/) (`+3% Lifesteal / +12% DMG / +15 HP` per `tier-snapshots/index.json` pets note — only pet with Lifesteal). Once a defensive bubble unlocks, retire Medkit.

## Acquisition

Per frontmatter, Medkit has rarity **common** with credibility `verified_single_source` (FRVR tier list). No drop rate is recorded in the frontmatter, and no special unlock condition is documented — Medkit functions as a default starter gadget alongside Basic Shield.
