When did it begin happening?** Everytime all battles when I use this weapon inparticular. **Steps to make it happen again** Playing any battles. ---

The weapon description says heal, not gain, so heal means only life that was lost can be recovered. If your troops are already at their maximum life then they don’t gain any extra life. Not a bug. ---

Hey hey! @Madd_Hurricane beat me to it. Heal just gives a troop any lost life back up to there HP max, the spell is working as intended. 🙂 OminousGMan - Support Human 🕵️‍♂️ ---

Perhaps ‘Restore’ might be slightly more intuitive, at least in English? ---

I used to reread “heal” as “gain” too. Don’t feel bad @Supremesis. 🙂 > [@Jonathan](#): > > Perhaps ‘Restore’ might be slightly more intuitive, at least in English? I think I would’ve read “restore” the same way as “heal” to be honest. Heal in most games means up to full, not beyond, so it is just a restore by definition. If anyone, maybe a description on the right side for other skills to detail that “heal” is only to max hp and not beyond.
