Overview[1]

Starter Pack 149 Robux(Only new players who have been playing for 72 hours or less since their first game.); 2x Bandage; 2x Snake Oil The Doctor is a support Class in Dead Rails.

The Doctor is a support class focused on reviving other players. They spawn in with 2 Bandages and 2 Snake Oils, which can be used to heal themselves or given to other players. Doctors also possess the ability to revive downed players without Bandages by sacrificing half of their current health. 1x Shovel 2x Bandage 2x Snake Oil Can revive players without Bandages, which is useful when they are limited. Starts with 2 Bandages and 2 Snake Oils that provide great healing early on. Using the revive ability results in the Doctor's health becoming very low. The ability becomes lackluster once Bandages become easily obtainable. The ability is useless when playing solo, since the Doctor won't have anyone else to revive.

Strategies

Doctor is a class for fast revives since it shows the revive UI even without holding a Bandage. Upon using revive without holding a bandage, it will consume a bandage inside the player's inventory without sacrificing any HP. It is recommended to stock up Bandages for convenient revives. Useful for the Revive Teammates Challenge, especially with friend or an alt account that continuously resets. Although playing solo as Doctor is not recommended due to the ability becoming useless, the starting items can still provide an early advantage. This is better than using the None class since the Doctor class technically doesn't have any downsides. Since the health cost is half of the player's current health rather than maximum health, the player can revive unlimited maounts of players without being killed by their own ability. This potentially allows players to revive entire downed teams by themselves, though they must take care not to take any damage since continuous revives will leave them at very low health. This allows the President to create a massive army without spending any resources. This also allows players to intentionally reset and be revived at full health. Once everyone is at full health, only the Doctor would need to be revived with a Bandage to return to full health. For team games, it is best to team up with Vampires, Ironclads, or Survivalist. Vampires will take damage from sunlight, and they constantly need healing items. The Ironclad can tank damage from looting Towns. If they die, Doctors are able to revive them even without Bandages.

Strategy

The Doctor's selling items could originally be sold for the value of the items (5 for Bandages, 15 for Snake Oil), this could be combined for a starting price of 40 (or 90 with the Gold Bar.) The same was true for most classes with such starter items. The Doctor is one of four classes to ever get an official portrait made of them. The others being Werewolf Class, Vampire Class, and Elf Class It is also the only one to not be closely named after a entity counterpart, instead the name being closer to the Doctor Building. The portrait was made for the Starter Bundle, where as the rest were all included in the Christmas Bundles of 2025. Category:Gameplay Category:Classes Category:Ability Classes Category:Revival
