Best Healer Build in Grounded 2 The Toxic Tangle

For the best Healer Build in Grounded 2, players should get one of the armor sets added with the Toxic Tangle Update: The Cricket Armor. It also makes use of two special trinkets: The Fabulous Femur and the Nifty Needle.

Step 1: Get the Cricket Armor Set

To get the Cricket Armor Set, players need to kill one of the hardest bugs to beat in the game: The Cricket. Highly mobile and super aggressive, these bouncing menaces will take the slightest chance to make the Teens their dinner, so tread carefully when facing them. Players will need the following mats to craft the Cricket Armor Set:

Part	Recipe	Stats
Cricket Cap (Head)	1x Cricket Head 3x Chrysalis Leather 1x Flower Petal	Defense 6 Resistance 4%
Cricket Vest (Body)	3x Cricket Part 5x Chrysalis Leather 2x Lint Rope	Defense 12 Resistance 9 %
Cricket Shin Guards (Legs)	2x Cricket Part 2x Cricket Drumstick 3x Lint Rope	Defense 6 Resistance 5%

Step 2: Get the Fabulous Femur and Nifty Needle Trinkets

The Fabulous Femur is a trinket that can drop exclusively from any of the Cricket enemies in the game (even O.R.C. Crickets), but getting it has a low chance: 5% or less, depending on the type of Cricket.

So, for the time being, and while they hunt, players should equip the Nifty Needle, which increases the damage of Charged Shots by 10%..

Fabulous Femur, has two different perks: Lucky Flurry, which causes all attacks to have a 7% chance to boost the players' critical hit chance by 25% for 3 seconds, and Fall Protection, which reduces fall damage by 50% (the later will be especially useful considering that the ranged players are often exposed to being pounced on and thrown off high positions.

Step 3: Mutations and Best Weapons

Now, for mutations, players need to go with Bardic Inspiration, which has the following effects:

Attacks with Bows and Greatbows have a 20% chance to buff the player and nearby allies' damage by 15% for 10 seconds.
Perfect shots with Bows and Greatbows will buff the player and nearby allies' critical hit chance by 5% for 10 seconds.
Dodges have a 20% chance to buff the player and nearby allies' stamina regeneration by 25% for 10 seconds.

Then, equip Pheromone Shot, which has these effects when landing a perfect shot with a Bow or Greatbow:

Nearby Buggies will deal 35% more damage for 15 seconds.
Nearby Buggies will be targeted 100% more often in combat for 15 seconds.

The other two Mutations should be: Trapper PEEP.R (to maximize critical damage), and Reliable Friend, to increase revive speed to allies and buggies.

Finally, there are two weapons players should pick to complete this build: The Cricket Lute Bow, and the Discord.

Players can pick whichever melee weapon they want to complete the build, but it matters not, since they should focus on landing Charged Shots with these two bows.

The Cricket Lute Bow has a 35% chance when hitting a target to give nearby players and Buggies a healing buff. Meanwhile, the Discord, which is a modified version of the same bow, has a chance to apply random debuffs to enemies hit with a critical hit.

Alternate between these two weapons to maximize damage output, healing, and causing disruption on enemies (especially bosses, since they are super tough to beat).
