Rescue
Rescue
Instantly draw target party member to your side. Cannot be used outside of combat or when target is suffering from certain enfeeblements.
— In-game description
Rescue is an action unlocked at level 48. It is available for Healer.
Additional Information
"...certain enfeeblements" includes Bind and the effects of Arm's Length or Surecast.
Rescueing a party member in in such a way as to deliberately get them KO'ed will result in a penalty under the Prohibited Activities in Final Fantasy XIV section "Obstructing Gameplay Using Combat", if reported.
Party members can be Rescued to cancel animation locks; they will be able to move freely after being Rescued, but may not be able to execute any actions until the delay applied by the animation lock has concluded.
A case where Rescue is used for this purpose is during Limit Break animations, particularly during movement-heavy mechanics. This will allow the targeted party member to move, even if the Limit Break animation itself is not finished. The full effects of Limit Break will have already been executed (i.e. snapshotted), and will still be applied. They will not be able to execute any actions until the full animation of the Limit Break has concluded, however.
