Every Day We Fight: deal with a Surgeon healing other Rifters

Identify the recovered resource

Choose a target you can finish

1. Locate the Surgeon and the ally receiving support before committing the squad's remaining AP.
2. Check sightlines, cover and shield state on the target you could realistically attack.
3. If a wounded enemy can be finished safely now, concentrate enough damage to complete that finish rather than wounding several supported targets.
4. If healing is repeatedly undoing progress, plan a safe attack on the support threat or a targetable drone rather than assuming damage alone disables the heal.
5. Recheck the board after the action: confirm the target is defeated or that the support source has actually been removed.

Do not assume every medical-looking drone works identically

The source distinguishes ordinary and Elite Surgeons. It does not give a universal heal amount, recharge length, drone HP or a claim that destroying one drone permanently disables every future heal. Use the current unit and targeting feedback before spending the rest of a turn on an assumed timer.

A Surgeon also has its own shield. Planning an attack still requires the ordinary cover, shield and AP checks; the support label does not make it a free target.

If it does not work

• Health still returns: look for another support source and confirm whether the previous action only damaged the drone or Surgeon.
• The bar that recovered was a shield: use the correct defense guide.
• A drone cannot be targeted from the current position: fix the line of fire or choose another achievable action.
• Do not invent an exact recharge window from the drone's return animation.

How to tell it worked

The intended target stays defeated, or the identified support threat is removed and no longer supplies the observed recovery. Check actual unit states after the action.
