'''Siphon Bullets''' is a Tier 4 Weapon [[item]] that provides increased [[Damage Resistance|Bullet Resistance]].


'''Siphon Bullets''' has a passive effect which causes the user's bullets to temporarily steal Max Health from targets. If an enemy dies while affected by Siphon Bullets, the user steals permanent health.
== Notes ==
 
Shooting an enemy hero deals {{#invoke:ItemData|get_prop|{{#var:item_key_or_en}}|HealthStealPctHero}}% max HP damage and applies the ''Siphon Bullets'' debuff, which reduces the target's max HP by the amount of damage dealt, and increases the user's max HP while healing them by the same amount.
It can be purchased from the [[shop]] for {{Souls|6,200}}.


== Notes ==
The max HP steal lasts for {{#invoke:ItemData|get_prop|{{#var:item_key_or_en}}|StealDuration}} seconds (affected by [[Debuff Resist]]), refreshes on subsequent applications, and stacks infinitely. Stealing max HP from an enemy places the effect on a {{#invoke:ItemData|get_prop|{{#var:item_key_or_en}}|ProcCooldown}}s cooldown (affected by [[Cooldown Reduction|Item Cooldown Reduction]]).
Shooting an enemy hero deals 55 damage and applies 1 stack of ''Siphon''* for 20 seconds, refreshing on subsequent applications, and stacking infinitely. Afflicting an enemy with ''Siphon'' places the effect on a per-user cooldown of 0.8 seconds. Each stack of ''Siphon'' lowers the maximum health of affected heroes by 55.


Each stack of Siphon will always remove 55 max HP from afflicted targets, but the flat damage dealt may interact with certain passives (tested at half HP to visualize damage dealt independently from max HP loss).
Each application will steal up to {{#invoke:ItemData|get_prop|{{#var:item_key_or_en}}|HealthStealPctHero}}% max HP from afflicted targets, but the amount siphoned is reduced with falloff and the flat damage dealt may interact with certain passives.


* The 55 damage dealt by Siphon Bullets cannot be increased or decreased by Bullet Resist, Spirit Resist, or damage amplification (Pocket's 1 or Escalating Exposure).
* The damage dealt by Siphon Bullets cannot be increased or decreased by Bullet Resist, Spirit Resist, or damage amplification ({{HeroIcon|Pocket}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Barrage}} or {{ItemIcon|Escalating Exposure}}).
* Shiv's Bloodletting passive will reduce the flat damage dealt by Siphon Bullets, but Shiv will still lose 55 max HP per stack
* {{HeroIcon|Shiv}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Bloodletting}} passive will reduce the flat damage dealt by Siphon Bullets, but Shiv will still lose {{#invoke:ItemData|get_prop|{{#var:item_key_or_en}}|HealthStealPctHero}}% max HP per application.
* The 55 damage dealt by Siphon Bullets will still trigger Abram's regeneration passive
* The damage dealt by Siphon Bullets will still trigger {{HeroIcon|Abrams}}' {{AbilityIcon|Infernal Resilience}} regeneration passive.
* The damage dealt by Siphon Bullets does not proc item effects.
* The damage dealt by Siphon Bullets does not proc item effects.
* Siphon Bullets does not trigger if the initial bullet deals 0 damage
* Siphon Bullets does not trigger if the initial bullet deals 0 damage.
* Siphon Bullets can be applied by {{ItemIcon|Ricochet}}, but the per-user cooldown of 0.8 seconds still applies.
* Siphon Bullets can not be applied on multiple targets by {{ItemIcon|Ricochet}} due to its {{#invoke:ItemData|get_prop|{{#var:item_key_or_en}}|ProcCooldown}}s cooldown, only the initial target will receive the debuff.
* Due to the max HP steal being based on the ''current'' max HP, which decreases after each proc, the damage dealt decays exponentially, meaning subsequent applications deal less damage.
* Siphon Bullets' current and max HP increase for its user can proc [[Healing Tempo]], but is not affected by healing reduction.  


Upon inflicting ''Siphon'' on an enemy, the user gains one stack of ''Siphoning'' for 20 seconds and then heals 55 health. Each stack of ''Siphoning'' increases maximum health by 55. When an enemy with ''Siphon'' has their stacks refreshed, the ''Siphoning'' stacks gained from that enemy also have their duration refreshed. If ''Siphoning'' stacks have been gained from multiple enemies, refreshing the duration of ''Siphon'' on an enemy will only refresh the duration of ''Siphoning'' stacks gained from that target.
For each instance of max HP steal on an enemy, the user gains the same amount of max HP, equal to the stolen health. When an enemy has their max HP steal duration refreshed, the whole amount of max HP that was gained from that enemy also has its duration refreshed. If max HP has been gained from multiple enemies, refreshing the steal duration on one enemy will only refresh the duration of all max HP gained from that specific target, and the buff indicator will show the duration of the instance with the least time left.


* If an enemy with ''Siphon'' has their stacks expire, the enemy is healed for the same amount of max HP restored
* If an enemies steal duration expires, the enemy is healed by the same amount of the regained max HP.
* An enemy can use Debuff Remover to remove stacks of ''Siphon''; this does not remove ''Siphoning'' stacks from the owner of Siphon Bullets
* Stolen max HP can be regained by debuff removal, but this does not remove the gained max HP from the owner of Siphon Bullets.
* Selling Siphon Bullets does not remove the max HP steal from affected enemies.


When an enemy affected by ''Siphon'' dies, the item holder heals 55 health and gains one invisible stack of ''Siphoner.'' Additionally, the killed enemy gains one invisible and uncleansable stack of ''Siphoned.'' Upon death, the two most recently applied ''Siphoned'' stacks are removed from their targets and the item holder will lose two stacks of ''Siphoner.''
Health gained from Siphon Bullets is visible on the user's healthbar to allies and enemies.

[[Category:Items]]
 
* Before the [[Update:March 6, 2026|March 6, 2026]] update, Siphon Bullets could permanently steal Max HP on hero kill, with the killer losing the stolen health if they died. This allowed a player to get "negative health" and become unkillable by dying multiple times under the effect of Siphon Bullets.
