Life Steal

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

  • Explosions, Burning, Turrets, Cyberballs, etc. do not trigger life steal.
  • Explosive weapons such as Rocket Launcher.png 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.
