Review
Acolytes are long-range healing supporters with a self-damage gimmick. Unlike most other units, Acolytes cannot be healed.
In PVE, it is generally preferred to use units that stay alive throughout the fight without needing to be redeployed. Since Acolytes will inevitably die after a certain period of time, this makes them less than ideal. For the same 3-cost you spend on Acolytes, you can get healers (such as Rearmed Chinatsu and Evelyn) who not only heal the entire team without killing themselves, but also provide other forms of buffs.
Acolyte is one of the strongest PVP healers in the game because of how Jungle gear (see gear recommendation) interacts with healing reduction debuffs. The greatest advantage of Jungle gear is it offsets healing reduction debuffs. This allows Jungle healers to continue healing in situations where traditional Support CDR healers cannot. Acolyte benefits heavily from Jungle sets because the usual trade off, Skill Haste for Outgoing Healing, does not apply to them.
On top of Acolyte’s raw healing numbers, their on-death backline stun effect is a powerful disruption tool that disables the enemy backline and even does a considerable chunk of damage.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Long-ranged healing
CC on enemy backline after death
Cons
Reliant on niche relic gear
A unit that kills themselves is not useful in PVE specifically
