Healing is an ability primarily possessed by the Medic class while using his Medi Gun or Kritzkrieg. By training his healing beam on an ally (or a disguised enemy Spy), the Medic can actively restore the player's health. In addition to restoring health, healing also enables the Medic to fill up his ÜberCharge bar. The Medic cannot heal buildings, which must be repaired using the Engineer's Wrench, Gunslinger or Southern Hospitality.
For more detailed information on healing rates, see the individual pages for the Medi Gun and Kritzkrieg.

Overheal
An overheal refers to a player's health being up to 150% above their maximum HP. Medics can overheal players with any secondary healing tool. The player's health cross on the HUD will glow more brightly as he or she is more overhealed. A particle effect consisting of small team-colored health symbols will surround an overhealed player.
A full overheal will fade away in exactly 20 seconds for all classes, provided that the player does not take additional damage. While a Heavy's health can be boosted to 450, it will return to its base of 300 in the same time as a Scout, whose health can be boosted to 185 from 125. If a Medic heals a player already at 100% health, it will take 1 to 3 seconds to raise them to 150% health (overhealed). Classes with the higher starting health take the longer to fully overheal.
During setup time, or while approaching an objective, a Medic can keep multiple teammates on the front line overhealed instead of only their primary healing target. This also increases the speed at which the ÜberCharge bar rises.
When calculating the amount of overheal a class gets, if the number added turns into an increment that doesn't follow the pattern of 5's (5, 10, 15, 20, etc), the amount always goes down to the nearest 5th increment (i.e. 175 -> 262.5 would be changed to 260).
