Bonus Health

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 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.
- The Survival Powerup immediately grants +200 to +700 bonus health (scales as game goes on), but only for 160 seconds or until death.
- The Rejuvenator immediately grants +200 bonus health, but only for 4 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 10% after the above calculations.
Example
Kelvin begins the game with 600 Base HP. If Kelvin purchases two tier 1 vitality items, one of which grants 100 bonus health, his max health becomes:
If Kelvin then earns a power increase, his base health increases by 50, and his max health becomes:
Regaining Health
- Main articles: Healing, Health Regen
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 Rejuvenating Aurora. Sources of spirit and 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 rectangles, arranged in rows of up to ten. Enemy heroes are displayed with orange rectangles, while allied heroes use an off-white color. As the hero loses health, the rectangles deplete horizontally. Each full rectangle represents 100 health, and each full row represents 1000 health.
The small yellow and blue bars above the health bar represent bullet shields and spirit shields, respectively.
Alternate health bar
The alternate health bar is an experimental bar that can be tested by players. This bar always has the same size, and the health count is displayed as markings instead of rectangles. One marking represents 100 health, and a line represents 500 health (from left to right).
This health bar also indicates when other players have ultimates ready, represented by an eye icon that fills up when the ultimate is recharged. Shields are represented by a purple bar.
The alternate health bar can be enabled with the console command citadel_unit_status_use_new true. The command can be added with a + to the game launch options on Steam to be enabled on startup.
