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.

The healthbar scales on the heroes maximum health, with 1 segment for every 1000 health points. A segment that does not represent 1000 health will be shorter than other segments. If a hero uses stamina bar, a stamina pool appears over their head, represented by dots. A filled dot is stamina the hero can use, and an empty dot is stamina that has to be regenerated.
