Tiles Survive finally added a second true healer to the game, and her name is Candy.
Until now, Leila has been the only real main healer, so getting another option — especially one that is also a gunner — changes team building in a big way.
I have been testing Candy in PvP, rallies, and regular fights, and here is exactly how she performs.
Tiles Survive Candy Hero Guide – Skills, Healing Power
Candy is a healing-focused gunner hero.
Her entire value comes from how much healing she can provide over time.
Unlike Leila, Candy does not heal with a big instant burst.
Instead, she provides strong healing over time based on her attack, which means the more you invest into her gear and stars, the better her healing becomes.
At equal star and gear levels, Candy will eventually heal more overall than Leila — she just does it slower instead of all at once.
Candy’s Skills
Main Healing Skill
Candy continuously heals your march over time based on her attack stat.
This makes her very stable in long fights, especially in PvP and rallies.
Basic Attack Skill
This is just standard damage. Nothing special here.
Dazzling Aura (Passive)
This skill reduces enemy attack slightly.
Right now, this part of her kit is underwhelming.
The debuff is very small and does not scale high enough to matter much in real fights. Compared to Leila’s defensive buffs, Candy loses value here.
Candy vs Leila
Leila:
- Has a strong instant heal nuke
- Gives herself big defensive bonuses
- Feels safer and more reliable early and mid game
Candy:
- Heals more over long fights
- Needs higher stars and gear to shine
- Has weaker secondary utility
In short:
Leila is stronger early.
Candy becomes better long-term once heavily upgraded.
In real PvP reports:
- Candy at ~6 stars with a level 10 skill already outheals heroes like Maddie and Title Drake
- Against maxed Leila, Candy falls behind until her skills and stars are upgraded
- In long fights, Candy’s healing curve starts to catch up and eventually surpasses Leila when fully built
So yes — she is a real healer, and she scales extremely well.
Candy Teams
Because she is a gunner, Candy allows something that was not possible before:
You can now build full gunner marches without losing your healer slot.
This opens up a lot of new team compositions and makes gunner-focused builds much more viable.
