Uka Totlihn

Who is Uka Totlihn?

Uka Totlihn is a Mithra Dancer from the Wings of the Goddess expansion, which takes place during the Crystal War era. She is part of the allied forces fighting against the Shadow Lord's beastman armies. As a Dancer, she heals in a completely different way from White Mages and Scholars -- she uses TP (tactical points earned from melee combat) instead of MP (magic points) to heal the party.

Key Abilities

• Curing Waltz (and higher tiers) — This is the Dancer's version of Cure. Instead of spending MP to cast a healing spell, Uka spends TP (tactical points) to perform a healing dance. TP is generated by hitting enemies with melee attacks. The huge advantage: she never runs out of MP because she does not use MP at all. As long as she is hitting the enemy, she can keep healing.
• Drain Samba — A party-wide buff applied through dance. When Drain Samba is active, everyone in the party who hits the enemy with a melee attack drains a small amount of HP from it. This provides passive healing to the entire melee group just from attacking normally. It does not work for ranged attacks or magic -- only melee hits.
• Haste Samba — Another Samba buff. When active, melee hits give a small Haste effect (attack speed boost) to the attacker. Only one Samba can be active at a time, so she alternates based on what the party needs.
• Healing Waltz — Removes negative status effects (like Poison, Paralysis, or Blind) from a party member. Uses TP instead of MP.

When to Use Uka Totlihn

Uka Totlihn shines in long fights. White Mage healers eventually run out of MP and need to rest or use items to recover it. Uka never has this problem -- her healing is fueled by attacking, so as long as the fight continues, she can keep healing indefinitely. This makes her excellent for marathon battles against tough enemies.

Drain Samba is also a powerful passive heal for melee-heavy parties. If you and your other trusts are all hitting the enemy in melee, everyone gets a small HP drain on every hit. Over a long fight, this adds up to significant healing.

The downside is that Waltzes are generally not as powerful as high-tier Cure spells, and she cannot Raise fallen party members. She also needs to be in melee range hitting the enemy to generate TP, which means she takes more damage than a mage healer standing in the back. For the hardest content, pair her with a dedicated WHM healer like Nashmeira II rather than relying on her alone.

Available in Set 2, she is one of the earlier healers you can get and a great option for the mid-game.
