 * It is possible to stay behind a teammate and spam the staff to make the teammate virtually invulnerable.
 * This weapon is very useful if one has a coordinated team since it allows a team member to be the designated healer, this is especially useful in gamemodes such as Raid and Siege.
 * If you become the healer, then it's recommended to keep close to the team to determine who
 * Make sure you protect the healer, since the healer can keep the team alive longer.

Counters

 * Pick off the user at long range.
 * Area damage weapons and shotguns can counter users at close range.
 * Avoid getting too close to the user, keep your distance while attacking them.
 * Flank around the user and use a high damaging weapon to kill them quickly.
 * If the enemy team has a designated healer, target the healer first.
