Lizard Tail

Lizard Tail

Rare
When your HP would be reduced to 0, heal to 50% of your Max HP instead (works once).

When damage or HP loss would kill you, the relic steps in once per run: instead of dying you are healed by half your Max HP, never less than 1. Afterward it is used up and shown disabled for the rest of the run.

When to take Lizard Tail

Take it over minor stat relics whenever your HP is unstable: insurance for pushing elites and bosses you are not sure of. A higher Max HP makes the revive bigger.
