2. The Healing Minigame — Slay the Spire, But Medicine
If you've played Slay the Spire, you'll feel right at home. The healing minigame is a turn-based card battle where:
- You = The player with a deck of prescription cards
- Disease = The boss you need to defeat
- Goal = Reduce the disease's Severity to 0 before it kills you (or time runs out)
Core Mechanics
| Concept | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Vital Energy | Your HP. Drops to 0 = treatment failed |
| Severity | Disease's HP. Reduce to 0 = treatment success |
| Fiery Hearts | Action points per turn (usually 3). Each card costs hearts to play |
| Rounds | You go first, then the disease attacks |
Card Types
- Attack Cards — Deal damage to reduce Severity
- Defense Cards — Grant shields, reduce incoming damage, or debuff the disease
Pro Tips from CN Server Veterans
These strategies come from experienced Chinese server players and will give you a huge edge:
1. Only Bring 5 Cards
The game draws 5 cards per turn. If your deck has exactly 5 cards, you'll draw your best cards EVERY turn — no RNG, no dead draws. Remove weak cards from your deck.
2. Watch the Disease's Intent
Hover over the disease to see what it'll do next turn:
- Attack icon showing → Play defense cards first
- No attack icon → Go all-out offense
3. The "Gas Therapy" Formula (气疗打法)
This is the optimized rotation CN players use:
| Turn | Action |
|---|---|
| Turn 1 | Play your Gold Card (金卡) first — it gives a damage buff that lasts the entire fight |
| Turn 2 | Play 2× Gao Mo Shu (膏摩术) to generate extra Fiery Hearts |
| Turn 3+ | With 7-9 Hearts, spam Shi Yi Mai Jiu Jing (十一脉灸经) — this card draws itself when played, creating an infinite combo |
💡 Key insight: The Gold Card's buff is permanent for the treatment session. Always play it Turn 1.
3. Prescription System (Cards)
Upgrading Your Cards
Cards are upgraded using Healer Prescription Books, which drop from:
- Healer Gift Boxes (buy from Season Shop)
- Random treatment rewards
When you upgrade a card type, ALL cards of that type in your deck get stronger.
Recommended Cards to Prioritize
| Card | Why It's Good |
|---|---|
| Gold Card (金卡) | Permanent damage buff — use Turn 1 |
| Gao Mo Shu (膏摩术) | Generates extra Fiery Hearts |
| Shi Yi Mai Jiu Jing (十一脉灸经) | Self-drawing attack card — enables infinite combos |
Deck Building Tips
- Remove weak starter cards — Keep only your 5 best
- Balance attack and defense — Some diseases hit hard
- Low-cost cards are valuable — More plays per turn = more damage
4. Leveling Up Your Healer Rank
Upgrade Currency: Career Notebooks
Your Healer level is raised using Career Notebooks, obtained from:
- Treating NPCs in the open world
- Treating other players
- Season Shop (buy all available notebooks weekly — this is the fastest method)
Level Cap
Maximum Healer level: 13
Requires approximately 90 Medicinal Tales to fully max out.
What Leveling Gives You
| Benefit | Description |
|---|---|
| Higher Diagnosis Value | Treat more severe diseases |
| Quick Cure Unlock | Skip the minigame entirely (requires high level + high mastery) |
| Better Prescriptions | Access to stronger cards |
| Exclusive Cosmetics | Healer-only avatars and outfits |
💡 Quick Cure tip: Once your Healer Mastery exceeds the disease's value (e.g., 10,000+ mastery vs. 2,300 disease), you can instant-cure without playing the card game.
5. Rewards for Healing

| Reward | Amount |
