FAIRY TAIL Wizard Chronicle Best Support and Healer Characters: Sustain and Buff Your Team​

FAIRY TAIL Wizard Chronicle Artwork 7

Supports and healers are essential in FAIRY TAIL Wizard Chronicle, keeping your carries alive while boosting their damage, crit, and ultimate uptime. Wendy Marvell in particular is widely regarded as the best support/healer in the game, with several other UR units also offering powerful sustain and buffs.​​

S+ tier supports and healers

These units are considered near‑mandatory in many high‑level teams thanks to their healing, buffs, or defensive utility.​

TierCharacterWhy they are top‑tier support/healers
S+Wendy MarvellUniversally rated as the best heal/support unit: her normal attacks heal the lowest‑HP ally, her Divine Knight skill buffs team Attack and Crit for up to 7 seconds, and her ultimate charges fast and heals all allies every 10 seconds, effectively making teams unkillable in longer fights.​​
SMirajane Strauss (UR)Hybrid damage/support: normal attacks both damage enemies and heal the lowest‑HP ally, her kit can silence enemies, and her ultimate removes debuffs and provides healing over time, making her a strong cleanser‑healer option.​​
SBrandish (UR)Offensive support whose normal attacks damage enemies and heal the lowest‑HP ally, plus skills that buff crit and accuracy and an ultimate that heals and cleanses debuffs, making her a strong alternative to Mirajane for certain comps.​

A major written tier list explicitly calls Wendy “currently, the best Heal and Support unit in the game,” and a release video describes her as “the ultimate heal and support unit” that makes “half your problems just vanish.” Multiple community discussions and videos also argue that Wendy is effectively mandatory for progression because her constant heals and buffs keep fragile teams alive while pushing DPS over key thresholds.​

Other strong support options

Beyond the “big three” healers/supports, several other URs provide excellent team utility through buffs, defensive tools, or hybrid sustain.​​

TierCharacterSupport role
SMakarov DreyarDefensive support/tank whose invincibility and taunt effects dramatically increase team survivability, especially in bosses and Arena.​​
SMeredyOffensive buffer whose normal attacks damage enemies and heal allies, with skills that grant high Attack buffs (especially to certain colours) and a team‑wide healing ultimate.​
AJuvia Lockser (UR)Provides sustain and debuffs; limited/holiday variants in particular combine damage with team support, making her a flexible hybrid pick.​​
AIrene BelserionPrimarily a DPS, but her crit‑defence reduction and debuffs indirectly support your whole damage core, functioning as an offensive support in boss fights.​​

While Wendy is the default first pick, Mirajane, Brandish, Meredy, and Makarov give you other support styles: cleanse‑heavy healer, colour‑specific buffers, or defensive walls for difficult content.​

How to pick and use support/healer units

To get the most from supports and healers:

  • Aim to run at least one premium healer/support (ideally Wendy) plus one secondary utility support (Mirajane/Brandish/Meredy/Makarov) in most end‑game comps.​​
  • Place them in the back row to minimise their exposure to AoE and let them sustain your frontliners and DPS; several players note Wendy’s fragility as a weakness if she is hit too often.​​
  • Prioritise skill upgrades and gear that improve survivability and cooldowns on your healers; their value comes from staying alive long enough to keep their buffs and heals active.​​
