Restore HP
Description
Recover is a command ability in Final Fantasy VIII used fully heal a target, same effect as the item X-Potion without using up resources. Recover can be used offensively against undead and zombified targets.
Obtained[]
Recover is learned by the GF Leviathan for 200 AP, and can be taught to any GF with the Healing Ring item. Leviathan is drawn from NORG and Trauma, and Healing Ring is a rare find with Angelo Search and made from 100 Whispers (from Adamantoises) with Eden's GFAbl Med-RF ability.
Mechanics[]
Recover fully restores HP to a target, used to easily heal party members to full without needing to expend resources. It can also be used to damage undead or zombified enemies, killing them if they have less than 9,999 health remaining.
If the character who has Recover equipped becomes confused, they will never use Recover while in this state.
Use[]
Recover is a convenient healing ability to have on hand to restore HP without needing to use spells or items, but it takes up a command slot. It can be used offensively against undead and zombified enemies; the player could junction 100 Zombies to their ST-Atk-J to inflict this status to enemies with normal attacks.
In the boss battle right at the point of no return, Recover is good to use to heal Rinoa.
Once the player can buy X-Potions from Johnny's Shop in Esthar City, they may prefer Item command over Recover for its versatility.
