'''Health''' measures the amount of [[damage]] that can be taken before [[Death|dying]], and is fundamental to all [[heroes]] and units. Units and players with health are allowed to interact with the game, and consequently when your health drops to zero you are disabled from playing until respawning.

== Maximum Health ==
[[File:Captura de pantalla 2024-10-03 115540.png|thumb|263x263px|Kelvin's starting base health at {{Souls|0}}]]
The formula for maximum health <math>HP_{Max}</math> is: 

<math>
HP_{Max} = \left( HP_0 + N_{PI} \times PI_{HP} \right) \times (1 + \textstyle\sum HP_{Shop} ) + \textstyle\sum HP_{Bonus}
</math>

where <math>HP_0</math> is hero-specific starting base health, <math>N_{PI}</math> is the number of [[Level|Power Increases]] earned, <math>PI_{HP}</math> is hero-specific added base health from each power increase, <math>HP_{Shop}</math> are implicit base health percent increases from [[Vitality]] items, and <math>HP_{Bonus}</math> are bonus health flat increases from various sources. Note that the max health presented in-game is rounded to the nearest integer.

=== Base Health ===
[[File:Captura de pantalla 2024-10-03 115848.png|thumb|247x247px|Kelvin's base health at {{Souls|20.0k}}]]
Base health is the sum of starting base health and added base health from power increases. It is scaled by the inherent increased base health stats of Vitality items. Different heroes have different amounts of starting base health and added base health from power increases.

{{#invoke:HeroDataArrays|heroHealthTable}}

=== Increased Base Health ===
Each Vitality item purchased grants a percentage increase to base health based on its tier. Higher tier items grant larger percentage increases. These increases are summed together before being multiplied with base health.

=== Bonus Health ===
[[File:Survival Power buff.png|thumb|179x179px|Survival power-up located in the training map]]
Bonus health comes from a variety of sources:

* Items are the most common source of added bonus health. Bonus health can be found on all three item types, but Vitality items tend to provide the largest amounts.
* [[Golden Statue|Golden statues]] occasionally drop small but permanent added bonus health buffs: '''+20''' before 10 minutes, '''+30''' between 10 and 30 minutes, or '''+40''' after 30 minutes.
* [[Powerup Buff|Survival Powerups]] immediately grant '''+400''' bonus health, but only for 160 seconds or until death.
* The [[Rejuvenator]] immediately grants '''+200''' bonus health, but only for 3 minutes or until death.

Bonus Health is not scaled by increased base health. Bonus health is added after the increased base health multiplier has been applied to base health.

=== Miscellaneous Health Modifiers ===
With the purchase of [[Glass Cannon]], the hero's max health is reduced by 15% after the above calculations.

=== Example ===
[[Kelvin]] begins the game with 600 Base HP. If Kelvin purchases the tier 1 vitality items [[Extra Health]] and [[Extra Stamina]], the first of which also grants 160 bonus health, his max health becomes:

<math>HP_{Max} = 600 \times (1 + (0.11 + 0.11)) + 160 = 892</math>

If Kelvin then earns a power increase, his base health increases by 50, and his max health becomes:

<math>HP_{Max} = (600 + 50) \times (1 + (0.11 + 0.11)) + 160 = 953</math>

== Regaining Health ==
From the start of the match, heroes will regenerate health slowly over time, typically 2 HP per second. This rate can be increased by purchasing items such as [[Extra Regen]] and [[Fortitude]]. Health can be regained quickly by returning to the spawn room of the team's base. Various hero abilities can heal, such as Dynamo's [[Dynamo#3(3)_Rejuvenating_Aurora|Rejuvenating Aurora]]. Sources of [[Spirit Lifesteal|spirit]] and [[Bullet Lifesteal|bullet lifesteal]] grant heroes the opportunity to regain health by dealing the respective damage type.

== Health Bars ==

'''Health Bars''' are visual indicators of a hero's current health, located just above each hero. Health bars consist of filled orange rectangles, arranged in rows of up to ten. As the hero loses health, the rectangles deplete horizontally. Each full rectangle represents 100 health, and each full row represents 1000 health.

== Item Sources of Bonus Health ==
The following items explicitly grant added bonus health:
