    Tips for effectively using this buff set: <top>
    • You can really help a survivor get back on their feet if they're incapacitated by reviving them, giving them the |E| Courage Buff and Guardian Angel ability effect. On top of that, if you shove them immediately afterwards, you'll also give them the effects of Motivate, making for 1 bulky survivor.
    • If you see any survivors get pinned, downed or killed by any special infected/tanks, be sure to focus them down using your Retribution ability and Avenger Buff effects, which can help to keep you alive at times.
    • If you are near your favourite (with the |E| Love is in the air Buff) and you decide to activate a health dispenser, be sure to have it active near you and them so you can benefit from gaining more health back overtime.
    • If you are debilitated by bad status effects and only have a defibrillator on you, consider CPRing or resurrecting any dead survivors so that you can get rid of the bad status effects off of you if you don't want to spend any bounty on first aid kits/pain pills instead.
    • You can combine the Blessing ability along with Health Dispenser, and any other AOE healing Buffs to give all nearby survivors more health back, ensuring their survival.
