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.
