Anyway, selfhealing at warp speed is the best method to play bait, since then you're more of an active target if you can last more than 5 seconds.

It's not the BEST strategy to always use, but it's an option that's worked in my team's favor enough times I can't rightly write it off.

Also;
SCH fairy uptime is limited to the fairy gauge, and Eos only.
AST can draw cards but not burn or hold.
Mana rates are fixed and high.
Our ONLY AOE heal is the LB.
Heals potencies are sky high, however.
