How to Heal in Soulframe: Potions, Spells, and Smite Healing

Staying alive in Soulframe becomes increasingly important as you move beyond the opening quests and start fighting tougher enemies. Early encounters are forgiving, but mid-game areas introduce foes that hit harder, attack faster, and punish mistakes. Healing is a core part of survival, and the game gives you several reliable tools to restore health depending on your Pact, combat style, and progression.

How Healing Works in Soulframe

Soulframe lets you heal through three main systems:

1. Healing Potions
2. Pact-based Healing Spells
3. Smite-based Healing (via Arts and Totems)

Each of these has its own strengths and limitations, so understanding all three helps you avoid unnecessary deaths and keep your momentum through harder missions.

1. Using Healing Potions

Healing Potions are your universal, always-available method of restoring HP, regardless of which Pact you choose.

How Healing Potions Work

• You start with five Healing Potions.
• On PC, press H to drink one.
• A potion restores roughly 40% of your maximum HP.
• There is a short animation while drinking, so be mindful of enemy attacks.

How to Get More Potions

Healing Potions are replenished in a few ways:

• Treasure chests are the most consistent source.
• Enemy drops frequently include potions from defeated foes.
• If you die but successfully recover your body using your Sparrow Soul, the game refunds one potion.

Potions are plentiful once you know where to look, but careless play can drain your stock quickly—especially in long missions.

2. Healing Through Pact Spells

Your chosen Pact determines whether you gain access to natural healing magic early in the game.

Oscelda Pact (Spirit Path)

If you start the game by pledging to Spirit, you join the Oscelda Pact, which grants a healing-over-time spell right from the beginning. This spell restores a large chunk of health over several seconds and is strong enough that many Oscelda players barely rely on potions at all.

Other Pacts

Other Pacts also offer healing options, but:

• They do not start with healing spells.
• Their healing abilities unlock later in the game after upgrading and investing in Pact progression.

If you didn’t choose Oscelda and want natural healing, expect a bit of grinding before you gain access to it.

3. Healing Through Smite Attacks

Players who enjoy aggressive melee combat can unlock healing through Smite mechanics.

Unlocking Smite Healing

Every Pact has access to an Art called Sympathy.
Once unlocked, Sympathy allows your character to heal every time you land a successful Smite attack.

To maximize this:

• Equip weapons with a higher Smite chance.
• Trigger Smites consistently by attacking at the right moment.

This method works best for players who stay close to enemies and are comfortable with timing-based combat.

Enhancing Smite Healing with Totems

If you want even more healing:

• Slot a Deer Totem into your weapon’s Utility slot.
• The totem increases healing gained from Smite triggers.

You can use both: Sympathy Art + Deer Totem for strong sustain in long fights.

Oscelda and Garren Rood players often rely less on Smite healing since they have access to Pact spells, but for other Pacts it becomes an excellent mid-game survival option.

Which Method Should You Use?

Here’s a quick breakdown of when each healing path works best:

Healing Method	Best For	Notes
Potions	All players, early and mid-game	Reliable, but limited to five at a time.
Pact Healing Spells	Oscelda players, later for others	Strongest sustain but Pact-dependent.
Smite Healing	Melee-focused builds	Great for players who attack aggressively.

Many players combine all three—using potions for emergencies, relying on spells for sustained healing, and supplementing with Smite triggers in combat-heavy missions.

Pro Tips for Players

Before heading into harder quests, keep these basics in mind:

• Block or dodge whenever you can to reduce potion usage.
• Position carefully when drinking potions because the animation slows movement.
• Loot every chest and bag, even small ones—you’ll often find healing items tucked away.
• Consider adjusting your build around Smite chance if you want more passive healing.

Mastering healing is a major step toward completing tougher missions and progressing into Soulframe’s more challenging content. Play now!
