Max HP

Max HP

Max HP is your health bar, it is the amount of damage you can take before dying. Most characters starts with 10 Max HP by Default, and gain +1 Max HP when leveling up.

Having a good amount of Max HP prevents you from dying to just a few strong hits from enemies, making it an essential on most builds. However to survive the 60 seconds of a wave, it is usually a good idea to also get some Healing.

You can increase this by buying Items from Shop. Some Characters starts with extra Max HP.




Max Health Cap

If you buy the item Handcuffs.png Handcuffs, your Max HP will be locked at its value when you bought the item. You can still increase or decrease your Max HP Stat, but when you enter the game, your health bar can't be higher than your Max Health Cap.

Even if you buy Handcuffs at 100 Max HP, HP Scaling Items and Weapons like Alien Eyes.png Alien Eyes, Potato Thrower.png Potato Thrower, and Chopper.png Chopper can still scale beyond 100 Max HP, because they scale with the stat itself. The cap only affects your HP Bar.

The game has a natural Max Health Cap of 999999, or just shy of a million Max Health. That is the maximum amount of health you can have. But scaling items like Potato Thrower can still scale with values higher than this limit. You are unlikely to encounter this limit unless you play a Modded version of the game, or are playing Endless Mode.

Negative Max HP

If you reduce your Max HP to 0 or lower, like you can while playing Demon.png Demon you will still have 1 Max HP when you start the next wave. But even if you start with 1 HP on your HP Bar, your HP stat is still negative and you must get it out of the negatives before you can ever get above 1 HP again.

Items

Positive

These items increase your Max HP.

Due to Item Tags, the Character(s) Chunky.png Chunky, Golem.png Golem, Lich.png Lich, Masochist.png Masochist, Ogre.png Ogre, Pacifist.png Pacifist have a higher chance to find these items in the Shop.
