Hit Points (HP)
Game term
If you run out of HP, you die.
HP is your life total for the run.
- Damage that gets past Block reduces it, and reaching 0 ends the run unless something intervenes: Fairy in a Bottle and Lizard Tail catch the killing blow once and heal you to 30% or 50% of Max HP.
Healing never goes above Max HP; every heal is capped at the missing amount.
Raising Max HP also heals you by the same number, so a +14 Mango is a +14 heal too, while current HP can never sit above a lowered cap.
HP carries between fights, and the main ways back up are Rest Sites, 30% of Max HP, Ancients, all missing HP, 80% at Ascension 2, and relics.
Enemies use the same bar; Ascension 8 raises theirs.
