How to heal in Avatar Frontiers of Pandora

So, to heal in Avatar Frontiers of Pandora there are two ways of doing so - a slower way, useful when out of combat, and a fast way, sometimes integral to staying alive in a firefight.

If you want to gain health in a more leisurely manner, you can take the path of simply restoring Energy. When you choose to restore Energy, your health will also gradually increase until full. To do this, open your food wheel and consume any food you have in your inventory.

You can eat raw ingredients to restore Energy, but these pale in comparison to cooked dishes. These meals not only provide you with more Energy but also various other beneficial effects that could be very useful.

These additional effects can come in handy both in and out of combat, so if you’re more of a pacifist or you're on a materials run, they can help you out.

If you need to be fully fit in a flash, instead of relying on Energy, you can consume Dapophet Pods or using Med Kits. These will give you that health boost in an instant. There are huge advantages to choosing the Dapophet Pods/Med Kits method when in the heat of battle, and might even be a necessity when coming up against tough enemies.

However, we have already stated that consuming food does provide additional benefits and you wouldn’t receive these when using the Dapophet Pods/Med Kits. So, it’s all about the situation you are in.

The fact that Avatar Frontiers of Pandora offers this dual healing mechanic definitely adds a more strategic element to the game. But this is something that players might welcome. Rather than simply spamming a heal button or waiting for an automatic regeneration, there is an air of strategy and timing required to capitalise on each method.

And that about wraps up this Avatar Frontiers of Pandora healing guide. If you found this useful, be sure to take a look at the full weapons list and how to customise your character, which should debunk other areas of the game!
