Regenerate (XC3)

Regenerate is a in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Affected characters recover at fixed intervals.

By default, this buff heals 1.5% of the affected character's maximum HP every. (Some enemies have a version of this buff that restores 0.25% HP instead.) The amount of HP restored can be increased using effects that give bonuses to HP restored, but is unaffected by increases to Healing Power. The amount healed can also be increased by effects such as Swelling Blessing. The buff lasts for 30 seconds by default, up to 60 seconds with buff-duration-increasing effects.

Regenerate's effectiveness decreases as the game progresses. Initially, incoming damage and incoming healing are both rare enough that 1.5% of max HP every 1.5 seconds can be a great benefit; however, other sources of healing quickly begin to outstrip this amount, and the incoming damage increases to match. By postgame, the benefit is so small as to be almost negligible. The main exception is in s; due to these having long periods of time where no party member gets hit, Regenerate effectively acts like an instant heal of (at minimum) 30% of the target's maximum HP.
