Notes

• Heals the user the stated amount for each status effect currently afflicting the target. For example, with a Rank 10 Healing Return (+11), attacking an enemy afflicted with  Slash,  Puncture, and  Toxin statuses will heal 11×3 health, a total of 33 health.
  • Healing Return can be used to much avail on certain low status weapons as well:
    • High  Impact damage weapons like  Heliocor or  Shaku will trigger Healing return with every attack, regardless of an  Impact proc actually occurring.
    • Certain weapons (such as dual daggers equipped with  Gnashing Payara, or  Gram even without a stance) trigger a "flinch" effect on enemies with every hit, which triggers Healing Return.
    • Note that many Stances have at least one combo that has a force proc.
  • Multiple instances of the same status effect (e.g. 4 individual  Slash DoTs) will not increase the healing given.
• Both the  Redeemer and  Sarpa's charge attacks will heal the user. Each individual pellet triggers an instance of healing (e.g., if 5 pellets hit an enemy afflicted with a status effect, the healing amount will be 5×11 = 55HP). Because both gunblades' charged attacks are guaranteed to proc an Impact effect, they are guaranteed to heal the user if the Healing Return mod is equipped.
• If equipped on the  Deconstructor (Prime), this mod will allow Helios (Prime) to heal itself provided its target is suffering status effects.
• Does not provide any healing if your attack, despite proccing a Status Effect on the attack (for example, with 100% status chance), kills the target instantly on the first attack.
• The AoE damage from the explosion of Exodia Contagion's projectile will not trigger the healing effect of this mod.
• The healing effect is triggered for each enemy hit by an attack independently, so attacking a squad of enemies all with Status effects with a long Reach weapon can give significant healing over time.

Tips

• Use with weapons with a high innate status chance, or weapons with guaranteed status procs as part of their combos.
• Compared to  Life Strike, Healing Return gives comparatively less healing, though it doesn't require the player to expend the combo counter through Heavy Attacks and is more consistent as it is effectively passive.
• Synergizes well with the extended status duration provided by  Lasting Sting.
• The ideal situation to use Healing Return is on a very fast weapon with a high status chance paired with a Warframe that has a high Armor rating. Excalibur Umbra is an excellent example of this, given that he comes with a decent base Armor,  Umbral Fiber (boosted by  Umbral Intensify and  Umbral Vitality) and the fast, high-status  Skiajati.

Trivia

• The mod picture features a  Trinity with the Trinity Strega Skin, making it the only mod with a picture of a Deluxe Skin displayed in the mod.
