Medic = Healer? THINK AGAIN! | Nemesis: Retaliation Character Dossier
You might think the Medic is just there to keep everyone alive. And you'd be right… but that's only half the story.
In this Character analysis, we're breaking down the Medic from Nemesis: Retaliation and exploring why this seemingly unassuming crew member can be so much more than a walking first-aid kit.
With a relatively low rank and a carbine that isn't going to win many fights alone, the Medic isn't built to dominate the battlefield. Their real strength lies in supporting the crew, making other characters more effective, and helping the team survive when everything starts going wrong.
We'll look at how First Aid and Field Surgery can keep your crew in the game, and how the combination of Combat Drugs and Hippocratic Oath can turn the Medic into a surprisingly effective combat support character. Played at the right moment, they can help bring down an Intruder while giving the crew the opportunity to escape a dangerous situation.
We'll also examine the Medic's tactical belt loadout, including why two oxygen tanks, ammo and a grenade may be more valuable than carrying health kits from the start.
But there's a darker side to being the person responsible for keeping everyone alive.
In a game where hidden agendas and betrayal can turn allies into enemies, the Medic has a particularly interesting position. Who gets treated first? Who gets left behind? And what happens when the person deciding who survives might not have the crew's best interests at heart?
We'll explore the Medic's potential as a traitor, how to manage the risks, and which types of players might enjoy taking on this supportive but surprisingly influential role.

The Medic doesn't need to be the strongest person on the ship. They need to make sure the others have a chance to survive.
Because sometimes, the bravest person on the Nemesis isn't the one fighting the Intruders.
It's the one making sure everyone else gets another chance.
