Health



Health (also known as HP) represents the life force of a hero. It appears in the UI as a green bar at the bottom of the screen. The left number, shows your current health, while the right number shows your max health. When your health reaches 0, you die. Health is increased every time you level, when you cast certain spells, or when you obtain items that give Strength.

Heroes have a base health of 150 plus 19 for each point of Strength.

Health Regeneration
Health Regeneration is a stat that determines the amount of health a hero regains each second. It is shown as a small number with a + sign at the right side of the health bar.

Heroes regain health every second equal to their base rate (.25 for most heroes), plus 0.03 for every point of strength, plus any bonuses from items and skills, such as Healing Salve. You can also get a health regeneration boost by activating a Regeneration Rune. Health Regeneration is capped at 1000 Health per second, which is only possible by getting a Heart of Tarrasque on Pudge and feeding him beyond all measure.

Every hero has a base health regeneration rate.

Display
In the game world, your allies have a green health bar above their heads, and your enemies have a red one. Heroes have bigger bars with lines in them to make it possible to determine their exact amount of HP. There is a thin line for every 250 HP, and a thick line for every 1000 HP. You can enable an option to display a number above your own health bar. This number will turn yellow if your HP is lower than two fifths of your max HP, and red if your HP is lower than one fifth of your max HP.
