How it's used

This term is primarily used in traditional trade contexts where a master and apprentice relationship exists. It implies a formal learning period where the individual is still under the direct supervision of a master. In modern gaming contexts, it is often replaced by the loanword 補師 or 補師位 to refer to a healer role, though this is a distinct usage from the traditional trade meaning.

Common phrases

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with 補習, which refers to private tutoring or extra classes. Using 補師 to mean a tutor is incorrect and will cause confusion.
