Trench Decay: Medic Class Guide
Learn Medic's healing and revive role, its 150-Medal cost, and how support positioning connects to class progression.
Play Medic in Trench Decay when you want to keep teammates alive through healing and faster revives. The class costs 150 Medals and progresses through healing or reviving allies, so the best reason to choose it is a willingness to stay close enough to support the squad.
This related gameplay video provides context for the campaign and equipment decisions below.
Keep recovery within reach
Your role is to preserve the group through a difficult fight. Stay where you can reach teammates rather than following every fleeing enemy into a new encounter. A Medic far away from the squad cannot make their recovery skills useful when someone needs help.
I would prioritize a recoverable teammate over a distant extra kill when the squad is already under pressure. That is a practical support choice, not a promise that healing removes the danger around you. Keep enough space to move and avoid turning one rescue into another player going down.
| Moment | Support choice |
|---|---|
| Before the push | Stay close enough to reach the squad. |
| Teammate goes down | Look for a recovery opportunity rather than a distant extra kill. |
| Choosing a class | Reserve 150 Medals for a role you intend to use. |
Make healing and reviving your progression habit
Healing or reviving allies advances Medic's class progression. Choose the role for those actions instead of purchasing it only to use the same isolated combat approach you used before. Supporting a teammate also helps you build familiarity with when recovery is safe.
Treat the 150-Medal class cost as a choice about your next sessions. If you enjoy direct rifle combat much more than reaching allies, a different specialization may suit you better. Medic is valuable because you use the role, not simply because it appears in a recommended class list.
Plan your place in the squad
Recovery works best as part of a group plan. Let teammates know you intend to handle healing and revives so they can give you room to reach someone who is down. Avoid making every rescue an individual sprint that nobody else understands.
After an awkward fight, improve the positioning before assuming the class needs replacing. Were you near the group, or did you chase the next encounter? A calmer support position can matter more than immediately spending another 150 Medals on a different role.
