It can also go well with the Stimulants card, which further buffs the use of Pills.

If you can coordinate well with your team, and have them drop you Pills on the go, then this card can be very efficient, especially on a Melee, or during a Boss Fight. Personally, I wouldn’t stack pills as Doc, as I find Health Kits and Bandages to be much more efficient. The Combat Medic card can also be combined with the Field Surgeon card in order to negate the loss of Use Speed (should you ever feel like that’s a problem).Ĭhemical Courage seems like a situational card, and I would probably choose it at this stage if my teammates or I were stacked up on Pills, or if we were playing a mission where we have to run from point A to B with breaks in between. Whenever that happens, the rest of the team can benefit from the Extra Health, even more so if you’re in the middle of a horde fight.Ĭombat Medic is a pretty useful card that will allow you to revive your teammates with 20 Extra Health, on top of also giving you a 50% Use Speed, which personally I haven’t found that useful on Doc (bearing in mind that Use Speed is different from Revive Speed). The card does offer value as the further you go into the missions, the higher the chances that one of you will get incapacitated. Ever since Doc was released, I felt that card’s value slowly dropping, down to the point where I normally play it when I get halfway through my deck, or by the end. It was a must-have card right from the very first mission. Inspiring Sacrifice used to be my go-to card during the Beta, especially while playing with Mom. I don’t find the -50% Use Speed to impact me that much, sure you have to wait a bit longer to open up supply crates and loot rooms, but other than that, your teammates can well compensate for it. This almost guarantees that I can bailout any teammate who’s low on health, and quickly bring them back into the fight. I would normally go with the Field Surgeon, as I want that extra 60% Healing Efficiency (on top of my default 20%). Your team can also take advantage of the extra Support Items spawning around the map, and can stack them for later use. If you’re lucky and if your team doesn’t take too much damage, you can even end the first mission with 3 Bandages/Pills/Kits, and even a Defib. Personally, I don’t mind trading off 10% of my Damage for 2 additional Support Slots, the Damage Reduction doesn’t seem to affect headshots, and I can offer much more value to my team with 2 extra Support Items as Doc, than with 10% more Damage. I also want 2 additional slots so that I can hold multiple items, and also start stacking them for future missions. The idea behind it is that I want to start spawning Healing Accessories (Pills, Bandages, Health Kits, Defibrillators) as quickly as possible. Otherwise, I found these 2 starting Cards to synergize really well, especially during the first mission, regardless of whether you’re playing Act 1,2 or 3. If you’re playing in a pub game and you’re just getting started with Doc, then I would recommend to swap out Shoulder Bag for Inspiring Sacrifice, as that may help even more if the team gets incapacitated a lot.
