Best Supports and Healers in Another Eden
Supports and healers are the backbone of strong Another Eden teams, often deciding whether your big DPS can actually survive and reach their full potential. The units below are repeatedly highlighted in modern tier lists and community discussions as some of the best in these roles.
Why top supports and healers matter
High‑end bosses and superbosses hit extremely hard, stack debuffs, and punish poor MP management, so parties usually run at least one “pure” healer plus one heavy buffer/debuffer. The strongest supports add massive damage via crit, buffs, and resist down while also providing sustain and utility.
Commonly cited top healers
Across wiki and site tier lists and healer‑focused guides, two names have sat at or near the top for years.
- Dunarith: Frequently rated as one of the best healers and supports; his kit combines strong party healing with huge crit and damage buffs, effectively functioning as both sustain and offensive engine, especially in Wind teams.
- Mariel: Classic non‑elemental healer who still ranks highly thanks to powerful party heals, regen, and Aurora Force type‑resistance buff, making many elemental bosses much safer.
Threads on “best healer” and “better than Riica” almost always cite Mariel and Dunarith as top‑tier options for both survivability and versatility.
Top supports and hybrid sustain units
Modern meta also values hybrid supports who bring huge buffs, debuffs, or zone utility on top of healing or mitigation.
- Multi‑role buffers: Units highlighted in current tier lists for providing massive party buffs, crit, and resistance shred (e.g. some Crystal/Thunder/Water supports featured in “Top 3 per element” videos) are often rated on par with pure healers in importance.
- Defensive/cleanse supports: Characters that cleanse status, provide physical/magic mitigation, and manage MP costs are repeatedly recommended in team‑building and Star Dream pick guides, because they make long fights and AF loops much more consistent.
Since exact names shift with new ES/Alter releases, cross‑checking multiple lists and creator breakdowns is essential before chasing a specific support.
How to choose supports and healers for your teams
Instead of only looking at global “S‑tier” labels, pick based on what your roster and favourite zones actually need.
- For general progression: aim for at least one of the top universal healers (like Mariel or Dunarith) plus a strong buffer that matches your main zone element.
- For element teams: use recent “Top 3 units per element” and “best characters” videos to identify which support is currently considered core for your Fire/Water/Earth/Wind/Thunder/Crystal/Shadow team shells.
- For long‑term account goals: Star Dream selection and similar guaranteed picks are a great way to secure a top healer/support once you know which one your account is missing.
