Which Heal/Cleanse to use: Guide to Spring of Life, Vitality Touch & Purification

Hello and welcome to Honors Corner!!!

📘 Introduction: Why This Matters

In Infinity Kingdom, healing and support skills aren't just add-ons—they're the backbone of your march's survivability. Whether you're pushing deep into PvE content, holding the line in PvP, or fine-tuning your support immortal's loadout, choosing the right healing or cleansing skill can be the difference between a strong finish and a frustrating defeat.

But here's the catch: these aren't free skills. They're premium—Spring of Life, Vitality Touch, and Purification are all pay-to-play (P2P) and require investment. So if you're spending cold coins or investing in recharge packs, you want to be sure you're buying the one that works for your build.

This article will help you decide exactly that. We'll explore:

• The mechanics of each skill.
• Which immortals do these skills shine on and why?
• The march builds that benefit from them.
• P2P access: how to get these skills, what events to watch.
• Smart ways to spend your coins or packs wisely.

🟢 1. Spring of Life

The Passive that Pays for Itself

What if you could heal when your immortals used a skill—without lifting a finger?

The Mechanic:

Spring of Life operates passively, triggering a heal each time an ally casts a skill. Its design is deceptively simple but highly potent in practice. At max level, it restores 25% of the triggering skill's healing effect, meaning the more frequently your immortals activate abilities—whether ultimates or regular active skills—the more consistent the healing flow becomes. This mechanic circumvents the drawbacks of cooldown-dependent healing, scaling purely with action frequency rather than time-based limitations. Because it does not consume energy, it offers free sustain without compromising your immortal's ability to contribute damage or utility.

Who to Use It On:

This skill synergises spectacularly with immortals who either cycle ultimates rapidly or are part of teams where the entire lineup casts frequently. Immortals like Theodora, Nine-Tails, Qin Emperor, or Zenobia thrive with Spring of Life because they, either lean into frequent skill use or benefit from background sustain that complements their ultimate abilities. For instance, Nine-Tails—whose ultimate cycles quickly and deals high burst—triggers Spring of Life every time she fires, producing a feedback loop where offensive pressure directly translates into sustain. Calculating this, if Nine-Tails' ultimate deals 10,000 damage and triggers her own damage-boosting passive alongside Spring of Life, the background heal on the entire march equals 25% of any concurrent healing skill cast, effectively topping off units without breaking the offensive momentum.

Best Scenario:

Spring of Life fits into Fire high-skill-frequency marches, Holy sustain comps, and even hybrid PvP pressure builds. A textbook march would be Qin + Ninetails + Wu + Hippolyta, where nearly every immortal has a low-cooldown ultimate or generates energy rapidly. The result is a self-sustaining war machine that remains aggressive while quietly healing in the background without sacrificing skill slots for direct heals.

• PvP sustain builds
• Long fights (Holy, Earth)
• Fire builds with fast skill cycling

TIP Have you checked your battle log and realised your passive out-healed your active? Spring of Life does that.

🔴 2. Vitality Touch

The Medic With Purpose

Need to save your frontliner now, not next round? Vitality Touch answers the call.

The Mechanic:

This is an active single-target heal, triggered by energy. It's the emergency patch kit, giving a solid chunk of HP back to a unit in need.

Vitality Touch is a targeted, active healing skill designed to restore a significant portion of health to a single ally. Its primary mechanic revolves around direct intervention, providing immediate healing that bypasses the delayed benefits of passive or area-based recovery. When activated, it scales based on the caster's attribute values—primarily Magic Attack and Healing Bonus stats from artifacts or specialisation trees. The heal itself can be further modified by buffs that amplify healing effects or reduce incoming damage on the target. Because it is an active skill, it is subject to energy build-up and cooldown mechanics, meaning immortals with high energy regeneration—either natively or through supportive skills like Energy Burst—can capitalise on it more frequently.

Who to Use It On:

Best on immortals who can absorb the energy cost, strong control or tanky supports that don't rely on constant casting. Use this if your frontline is under consistent heavy fire.

Theodora, Zenobia, and Fu Fei are excellent candidates for Vitality Touch because their ultimates are often AOE heals or damage-based but supplemented beautifully by a focused, single-target heal that prevents key frontline immortals like Poseidon, Hannibal, or Alexander from dropping prematurely. The interaction is elegant: for instance, when Zenobia triggers her ultimate, which heals the entire team moderately, Vitality Touch functions as a reinforcement mechanism that tops off whichever ally is taking the brunt of the assault. Calculating the combined healing, if Vitality Touch restores 20% of max HP plus an additional 300% of Magic Attack, combined with Zenobia's ultimate healing 15% of max HP to all, you create a staggered wave of sustain—critical in boss fights or PvP scenarios with burst-heavy opponents.

Best Scenario:

In terms of synergy, Vitality Touch thrives in PvE boss marches where one or two frontline units absorb nearly all incoming damage. A prime example would be Theodora + William + Wu + Hippolyta, where Theodora sustains the frontline while the others maintain relentless DPS. It also fits well in Shadow burst comps where Ninetails or Tomoe dish out rapid damage, but the frontline desperately needs targeted sustain to endure the enemy's counter-attack cycles.

• PvE boss fights with burst damage
• PvP matches against AoE-heavy comps
• Early-mid game survivability when healing uptime is key

Quick Tip:

This skill is best paired with cooldown reduction tools (Assist, Blessing) or when you can afford to trade damage output for stability.

🟡 3. Purification

The Clean Slate Utility Skill

Debuffed to death? Don't just heal—reset the field.

The Mechanic:

The core mechanic of Purification is twofold: it offers a modest, team-wide heal and, more importantly, it removes all negative effects from allies. Its value transcends raw healing numbers, leaning heavily on its ability to reset conditions such as Burn, Poison, Silence, Freeze, and Damage Reduction Debuffs. The clean nature of this mechanic means the immortal wielding it acts as a battlefield stabiliser, counteracting control-heavy compositions that aim to disrupt, lock down, or bleed out your march. The heal itself scales with Magic Attack but sits slightly below Vitality Touch in raw numbers — typically around 10% of max HP plus 150% of Magic Attack per cast.

Who to Use It On:

This skill belongs on an immortal who sits back, watches, and keeps your team running—think Zenobia, Theodora, or Charles the Great in Earth or Holy comps.

Immortals like Qin Emperor, or Zenobia benefit significantly from Purification, particularly when their ultimate skills focus on utility or team support rather than raw healing. For example, Qin's ultimate reduces enemy energy regeneration—a potent control tool—but pairing it with Purification turns him into both a disruptor and a sustain engine. The calculation plays out like this: if a debuffed immortal takes 30% more damage over time due to Poison or Burn, Purification not only stops the damage bleed but offsets it with a direct heal, effectively flipping the combat tempo. This skill is effective against Shadow or Lightning comps that rely on disabling effects and damage-over-time mechanics.

Best Scenario:

Purification slots seamlessly into Holy sustain marches, Earth tank marches, or hybrid PvP defences where crowd control and debuff mitigation determine the outcome. A strong example would be Qin + Alexander + Zenobia + Hippolyta, where the frontline is heavily armoured, and the ability to strip enemy debuffs while maintaining baseline healing creates a march that is incredibly difficult to dismantle over time.

• PvP vs Shadow (burn, poison) or Lightning (silence, control)
• PvE elite encounters that stack DoTs or stuns
• When you're building for control immunity and consistency

🔁 Purification shines not for the heal, but for breaking the enemy’s attempts to control, disable, or bleed out your team. Use it when your march is vulnerable to crowd control, especially from Shadow, Lightning, or DoT-heavy PvE bosses.

Tip

If you've ever had your whole march locked down by Silence… Purification's your insurance.

✅ Summary of Best March Synergies:

• Vitality Touch → PvE boss or tank-focused PvP; focused on direct frontline sustain.
• Purification → PvP defence, Holy, or Earth marches countering crowd control and DoTs.
• Spring of Life → High-frequency PvP or PvE marches, especially Fire, Shadow, or Holy compositions relying on rapid skill cycles.

Each of these skills aligns with a specific battle philosophy. Whether the goal is endurance, cleansing tactical disruption, or continuous passive sustain, selecting the right one isn't just optimal—it's tactical.

⚔️ 4. March Synergy: Which Skill Goes Where?

Let's break it down by typical march builds and where each skill fits:

For a PvE boss march, run Theodora, William I/Trajen, Empress Wu, and Hippolyta, and equip Vitality Touch on Theodora. This setup is built for high sustained damage with critical healing support. Vitality Touch is the best choice here because boss fights often involve predictable, heavy bursts of damage to your frontline—especially William. Theodora's energy regen is fast, allowing her to activate the skill frequently and keep frontline immortals alive during those critical damage spikes. It complements her ultimate, which already restores HP to the entire team, making her a double-healing engine that doesn't waste uptime like cooldown-based passives. The direct, targeted heal of Vitality Touch ensures your tank doesn't drop before Wu and Hippo finish their damage rotations.

This is an example of a boss build, but it would be great to hear your thoughts on what other boss builds would benefit from using Vitality Touch.

🌲 5. Specialization Tree: Support That Works With Offense

When choosing healing/support skills, look at Support Tree skills with links to Cooldown Reduction, Energy Boost, or Survivability.

For Vitality Touch and Purification, the Support tree is hands-down the best. Prioritise nodes like Mystic Energy (boosts healing), Sacred Favor (boosts all healing done), and Blessing (reduces energy cost). These directly amplify the healing output, lower cooldowns, and let your support immortal cycle their skills faster. If your immortal is frontline or hybrid (like Qin), dipping into the Defense tree helps with survivability.

For Spring of Life, go Support tree first, but it’s smart to pair it with Magic tree if the immortal is a magic caster (like Theodora or Fu Fei). This boosts their ultimates, which trigger Spring of Life more often. If the immortal is control-heavy (like Qin or Ninetails), consider mixing Support + Control branches to enhance energy manipulation while still scaling passive healing.

These synergise with offensive trees by ensuring your damage dealers stay alive longer and get back into the fight faster.

💰 6. Getting These Skills: P2P Pathways

These are premium skills. Here's how you get them:

Ability stones can be sold, exchanged for cinders, and then used to buy alternative ability stones. Another way to gain ability stones is to buy KVK skills and exchange these for cinders. 1 ability stone = 17 cinders in the Wish Shop. The KVK Buyback Shop, 1 ability stone = 30 cinders. Caution needs to be applied when exchanging ability stones.

🧠 Final Thoughts: Tactical Healing, Tactical Spending

An area that I’ve not covered in the article; here’s a recap on the impact of EAs on these 3 Skills:-

⚙️ How EA (Elemental Attribute) Affects These Skills

EA (Elemental Attribute) boosts directly scale ultimate damage or healing, but here’s the key part: it does not directly scale the healing values of Vitality Touch, Purification, or Spring of Life. Instead, EA boosts the immortal’s ultimate effectiveness, meaning faster kills, more damage, or bigger ultimate heals. That indirectly triggers Spring of Life more because it activates every time any skill is cast—including ultimates.

For Vitality Touch and Purification, the EA won’t buff the healing numbers directly but does improve the immortal’s ultimate performance, which synergises with cooldown-based healing loops. In short—EA makes the immortal better overall, but the healing scale itself is tied to Magic Attack, Healing Bonus, and Specialisation, not EA.

It is important to remember—these skills aren't cheap. Whether you're farming coins or swiping cards, you've got to spend smart.

• Want long-term value with zero upkeep? Buy Spring of Life. It's evergreen, scales with skill casts, and works in 90% of builds.
• Need precise control in PvE? Go for Vitality Touch. Not flashy, but it'll save a near-dead immortal just in time.
• Facing annoying CC teams? Purification earns its keep. It's your ticket to uninterrupted performance. 

As with all skills or march builds, there will always be a counter. It is vital to be updated with any meta changes to build synergy. This way, you will keep ahead of the curveball and utilise your skills effectively.

Before you buy, ask yourself

• Is your team casting frequently?
• Are you fighting PvE bosses or PvP control comps?
• Do you need passive sustain or a panic button?

✔ If you're spending fragments, go slow—watch event rotations.

✔ If you're spending cash, plan your purchases around value packs with universal shards or event bundles.
