Ally who heals

I would like to know how i can set an Ally to only heal me when I'm soloing an AE mish I made for myself when testing custom AVs

I've been told it's the following:
- set him to AV
- give him no Primary Powers
- give him 2 to 3 Secondary Powers (in this case from the Empathy pool)
- set him to defensive.

Is this true? I'd like some feedback before I go and waste my time.

Well, thing is, he'll still have brawl. And he'll want to use it. He's going to be more of a liability than anything without any offensive powers.

In short, if it doesn't ruin the story or theme of your arc, just use a Cimerorian traitor healer. They're specifically programed to stand back and heal, unlike the Custom Critter AI who are designed to buf AND attack.

Allied to all sides so that no matter what, I'll come out on top!
Oh, and Crimson demands you play this arc-> Twisted Knives (MA Arc #397769)

No dice. There isn't any Healer.

Cimeroran Surgeons were removed from AE a long time ago for this reason, the farmers were abusing it (big surprise there.)

Also if you don't give a custom critter any attacks and set them to Ally they won't use their buffs or heals either. This is also because farmers abused the hell out of it.

ahh of course.. great. I tried the Test and setting myself to invincible but I keep crashing when I get the first of damage. Well, I guess I'm just gonna have to recruit people to be guinea pigs!

Actually, the AI will prefer healing if set to a ranged preference. I think there's a few other quirks to it here and there but I forget exactly what they are.
