Why it works

Strength in Shadows (Sable Ward) lets you self-heal in the basement at 70% speed - the only basement self-heal in the game. Botany Knowledge (Claudette Morel) increases all healing speeds by 30/40/50%, making self-heals and altruistic heals both faster. Bond (Dwight Fairfield) reveals teammate auras within 20/28/36 meters, so you know where everyone is. Resurgence (Jill Valentine) heals 30/40/50% of one health state after an unhook, getting you out of chase range fast. Together, you can self-sustain for an entire match.
