[[Weapons]] in the [[Medical]] class have innate Life Steal, and the [[Blade]] weapon class have Life Steal bonuses.
== Strategy ==
Life Steal is heavily dependant on your [[Attack Speed]] and a [[Weapons|Weapon's]] cooldown. Weapons that attack quickly (such as {{WeaponIcon|name=SMG}}) will proc far more often than a slower weapon.
=== Vs. HP Regeneration ===
Compared to {{StatIcon|name=HP Regeneration}} [[HP Regeneration]]:
* Life Steal can potentially offer much faster healing for less overall materials spent, compared to HP regeneration, by using weapons with fast cooldowns, [[Medical]] weapons, or a decent investment into [[Attack Speed]].
* However, [[HP Regeneration]] is more reliable than Life Steal. It doesn't depend on your weapon speed, always procs, and it doesn't require you to hit anything. Especially melee users can get in trouble if they are put on low HP, and are forced to leave the melee range to flee. In this case, life steal stops healing you.
* Even with the diminishing returns of Life steal and hard limit of 10 HP per second, it is worth noting that it takes a lot HP regeneration to reach those numbers. So if you attack fast and can keep the Life Steal active throughout the fight, it is a powerful choice.

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 have diminishing returns, as the chances of multiple instances of life stealing happening within the same 0.1 second drastically increases.

Extra projectiles, pellets, pierces and bounces trigger lifesteal.

But if those hits connect within the 0.1 second time window, it means you are limited to healing 1 hp.

If this is negative it acts like the stat is 0.

Explosions, Turrets, Cyberballs, etc. do not trigger life steal.

However, Baby with a Beard and spawned projectiles from weapons such as Cacti Club does.

Weapons in the Medical class have innate Life Steal, and the Blade weapon class have Life Steal bonuses.
