From Brotato Wiki
Life Steal
Your attacks have a x% chance to heal you for 1 HP per hit. Each time you life steal 1 HP, you cannot life steal again for 0.1 second. Meaning the maximum possible life gained per second is 10. This means that high percentages of life steal effectively have diminishing returns, as the chances of multiple instances of life stealing happening within the same 0.1 second drastically increases.
Life Steal is one of the three main ways of Healing in Brotato along with HP Regeneration and Consumables
Notes on Life Steal
- Extra projectiles, pierces and bounces trigger life steal. This includes Baby with a Beard and spawned projectiles from weapons such as Cacti Club.
- Explosions, Burning, Turrets, Cyberballs, etc. do not trigger life steal.
- Explosive weapons such as Rocket Launcher only trigger life steal on the main projectile. The targets hit by the explosion cannot trigger life steal.
- Weapons in the Medical class have innate Life Steal, and the Blade weapon class has Life Steal bonuses.
- If your Life Steal Stat is negative it subtracts from a weapon's chance to life steal, with a minimum of 0% chance to steal life. If your weapon has a base life steal chance, negative life steal will reduce that chance.
