	'''Lifesteal''' is a mechanic which heals a player by a portion of the damage they deal to an opponent. There are two main types of lifesteal, each with an associated [[stats\|stat]]: {{plink\|Bullet Lifesteal\|pic=AttributeIconBulletLifesteal}}, which returns a portion of the [[Bullet Damage\|bullet damage]] dealt, and {{plink\|Spirit Lifesteal\|pic=AttributeIconSpiritLifesteal}}, which returns a portion of the [[Spirit Damage\|spirit damage]] dealt. Bullet and Spirit Lifesteal are calculated ~~identically~~, but ~~are affected by different [[item\|items]]~~.		'''Lifesteal''' is a mechanic which heals a player by a portion of the damage they deal to an opponent. There are two main types of lifesteal, each with an associated [[stats\|stat]]: {{plink\|Bullet Lifesteal\|pic=AttributeIconBulletLifesteal}}, which returns a portion of the [[Bullet Damage\|bullet damage]] dealt, and {{plink\|Spirit Lifesteal\|pic=AttributeIconSpiritLifesteal}}, which returns a portion of the [[Spirit Damage\|spirit damage]] dealt. Bullet and Spirit Lifesteal are calculated independently, but use the same formula.

	== ~~Formula~~ ==		== Calculation ==
	~~Despite being presented in-game~~ as +X% ~~Bullet/Spirit Lifesteal~~, different sources of lifesteal stack multiplicatively~~, not additively~~. ~~With <math>n</math> different~~ sources ~~of the same category~~ of lifesteal, ~~final lifesteal <math>L_F</math>~~ is ~~given by:~~		While lifesteal is shown as a percentage (like +20%), different sources of lifesteal do not simply add together. Instead, they stack '''multiplicatively'''. This means that as you gain more sources of lifesteal, each new item is slightly less effective than the last.

	~~<math>L_F = 1 - \prod_{i=1}^n (1 - L_i)</math><br/><!--this is rounded~~, ~~but~~ the ~~game displays two different calculations where one is rounded up, and the other is rounded down-->~~		To calculate your final lifesteal, you can use the following formula:

	~~where~~ <math>~~L_i~~</math> ~~is the lifesteal provided by the <math>i</math>th source. Bullet and Spirit Lifesteal are calculated independently of each other, but both use the same formula.~~		<math>\text{Total Lifesteal} = 1 - (1 - L_1) \times (1 - L_2) \times (1 - L_3) \dots</math>

	~~=== Lifesteal vs. Creeps ===~~		(Where <math>L</math> is the lifesteal value of each source expressed as a decimal, e.g., 0.20 for 20%).
	~~Lifesteal against creeps~~ (~~non-hero units)~~ is ~~reduced compared to heroes:~~
	* Bullet Lifesteal vs. creeps: 60% of the ~~calculated~~ value
	* Spirit Lifesteal vs. ~~creeps: 40~~% ~~of the calculated value~~

	=== Example ===		=== Example ===
	~~With~~ 22% Bullet Lifesteal from {{item\|Fury Trance}} and 30% Bullet Lifesteal from {{item\|Leech}}, the ~~player~~'s final ~~bullet lifesteal~~ is:		If you have 22% Bullet Lifesteal from {{item\|Fury Trance}} and 30% Bullet Lifesteal from {{item\|Leech}}, your lifesteal is calculated as follows:
			# Convert the percentages to decimals: '''0.22''' and '''0.30'''.
			# Subtract each from 1: (1 - 0.22) = '''0.78''' and (1 - 0.30) = '''0.70'''.
			# Multiply those results together: 0.78 × 0.70 = '''0.546'''.
			# Subtract that result from 1: 1 - 0.546 = '''0.454'''.
			# Your final Bullet Lifesteal is '''45.4%'''.

	~~<math>L_F = 1~~ - ~~(1 - 0.22) \times (1 - 0.30) =~~ 45.4%~~</math><!--the stat ingame says 45~~%~~-->~~		Note: The in-game user interface is inconsistent with rounding, so it may display as 45% or 46%.

	~~This means that any time the player deals bullet damage~~ to ~~any opponent~~, ~~they will immediately be healed by 45~~.4% ~~of the damage dealt~~. ~~Note that the in-game user interface is inconsistent in how it rounds the final~~ lifesteal ~~percentage~~.		=== Lifesteal vs. Creeps ===
			Lifesteal against creeps (non-hero units) is reduced compared to heroes:
			* '''Bullet Lifesteal vs. creeps:''' 60% effectiveness (e.g., 10% lifesteal becomes 6%).
			* '''Spirit Lifesteal vs. creeps:''' 40% effectiveness (e.g., 10% lifesteal becomes 4%).
