Fairy in a Bottle

Fairy in a Bottle

RareSharedAutomatic
When your HP would be reduced to 0, instead this potion is discarded and you heal to 30% of your Max HP.
  • It cannot be drunk. It sits in a slot and waits for the moment your HP would fall to 0.
  • Trigger: you come back with 30% of your Max HP, rounded, with a floor of 1.
  • It only saves its owner, not a teammate.
  • Excluded from random in-combat potion generation, you get it from rewards, shops, events or an out-of-combat roll such as Entropic Brew.

When to take Fairy in a Bottle

Carry it the whole run for risky elites, HP events and boss turns you cannot fully block. Buy it before Act 3 elites and never throw it away for space.
