Usually, unless your team already synergizes well enough to the point at which you don't intrinsically NEED medi lic, Socialism is kind of like a discount medi lic, especially when the wielder is someone with a high HP pool, high 'healing recieved', high regen, or high lifesteal, obv.

Keep in mind, this in no way takes medi's place, nor does it offer nearly as good of utility, but, it can effectively be used as a placeholder until you get another trinket choice, where, if you are like me, and your RNG is so abhorrent that it is actually borderline impressive, and you burn up all 10 of your goddamned dice in order to STILL not roll medi.

Here's a tip that may seem obvious, but I myself, with over 200 hours, did not even kind of realize or notice that it was a thing, until I suddenly randomly did-

and yes, I know, you can argue, that on t2+ especially, if you DO need this tactic, you are likely not to be able to beat anything beyond the G.O.A.T.

And for most of the time, this holds true, but there are some niche moments, where, say, a team gets chunked more than it should have and that kind of damage doesn't happen enough to consistently ruin your run, OR if you are on T1, this can 100% save your run, especially if you don't already have relics like 'Bullet Time', 'Padded Helmet', etc.

In case it wasn't clear, you want to get ready to activate the phone RIGHT as the G.O.A.T. smashes the ground and sends your dudes flying, hit the phone right in the concentrated pack of dudes to instantly recover them so they're on the boss immediately.

Note: This can, and does also work for the Killipede, however, keep in mind, more often than not, if you are ever even in a position in which you HAVE to use an item during the killipede, outside of the typical lightning bottle/meteor spam, then you are likely already donion rings. So prepare for the success rate there as opposed to during the G.O.A.T. to drop exponentially.
