HealthBar2

The green health bar at the top, and the blue mana bar at the bottom.

Health icon Health, or HP is a stat that determines the number of hit-points that a unit has. Damage reduces a unit's health, and Death occurs when a unit has taken enough damage to reach 0 health. Health can be restored via health regeneration, healing, life steal, and vamp.

  • Health Additive stacking icon stacks additively, and each point acquired directly adds to the statistic (1:1).

Every champion has a certain amount of base health that increases through growth per level. Maximum health refers to base plus bonus health, and is the largest value that health can be restored to, not counting shields. Bonus health can be gained from any source other than levels, for example from abilities, buffs, items, runes, and others.

On the game HUD, health is represented by the green bar above the mana indicator, indicating the champion's current and maximum health. Units have different colored bars based on their respective markers. The player has a green or yellow bar (based on colorblind setting) while allies have blue and enemies have red.

HealthBar

Each segment of a champion's health bar represents 100 health.

Every unit and structure's health is displayed as a bar above their models.

  • Ward icon Wards and similar champion summoned units have segmented health bars that each represent one life, but require another attack to remove.
  • Minion icon Minions have a small non-descriptive bar.
  • Champion icon Champions show a gauge on the health bar that illustrates the amount of health.
  • Monster icon Large and Epic monsters, as well as structures display an exact health count along with a non-descriptive bar.
  • On Summoner's Rift icon Summoner's Rift, Turret icon outer turrets have a gauge that represent plating, which disappears after they fall.

Gold Value ​​​​​​​​

  • Health has a gold value of 2 2.67 per point.


Effective health[]

Effective burst health, commonly referred to just as effective health, describes the amount of raw burst damage a champion can receive before dying in such a short time span that they remain unaffected by any form of health restoration (even if the actual considered damage is of sustained form). It can however include any form of health gain (such as from Nasus' Nasus' Fury of the Sands Fury of the Sands). Effective sustained health, on the other hand, would take into account also champion's health restoration.

Unless champion's resists aren't unnaturally reduced below zero, any effective health will always be more than or equal to a champion's displayed health in their health bar and it can be increased by buying items with extra health, armor and magic resistance.

Depending on the type of damage taken, we can also speak of physical effective health, magical effective health or mixed effective health. Depending on a behavior of such source of damage it is also possible to speak of effective health relative to given subject/source of damage, for example magical effective health versus poke. Many poke team compositions with mixed overall damage usually heavily rely on a poke consisting of prevalent magic damage. Maximizing primarily magical effective health thus might be a valuable counterstrategy to weaken their poking phase as teamfight initiation relies upon it.

Effective health is a measure of the durability of a champion, taking into account their health as well as their armor and magic resistance. 'Sheer' forms of effective health are defined as health plus 1% of health for every point of armor (or magic resistance). Contrary to their simple formulas, mixed effective health uses a bit more complex one. Because of this, mixed effective health is always subject to the damage source and the proportions between particular three damage composites (with pure damage being regarded as true damage). The formulae are as follows:

  • The formula for mixed effective health can be simply derived from the effective health : nominal health ratio which is always the same as ratio of damage dealt : damage taken (after application of resists):

Note: One can include the penetrations in all of the above ideas by replacing penetration with a due amount of corresponding negative resist.

Physical effective health and magical effective health are effective against physical damage and magic damage, respectively. They correspond to the amount of damage that an enemy champion must output (not the amount you must take) to bring your health to 0.

Example: If you have 1000 health, then purchasing 90 armor will raise your physical effective health to 1900. Enemies will have to output 90% more physical damage than usual to kill you.

Health as a casting resource[]

See also Manaless

Some champions use Health icon Health as a resource to cast abilities. It is critical to note that champions can never kill themselves due to ability casting. This is because they will be left at 1 health if their current health is below the cost.
Abilities that cost health can be used even if the champion does not have enough health to pay for the cost. With the exceptions of Ivern's Ivern's Friend of the Forest Friend of the Forest, which cannot be used if he does not have enough mana or health for the cost, and Soraka's Soraka's Astral Infusion Astral Infusion, which cannot be cast if she lacks the mana for the cost or if she is below 5% health.

While these champions can cast their abilities more freely than most, their disadvantage is that frequent ability usage will bring them closer to taking Death fatal damage.
Health costs ignore Cosmic Radiance invulnerability as well as effects that prevent falling below a certain health value.

Champions who use their own health as a casting resource:

Mana champions that also use health as a casting resource:

Besides Ivern Ivern, each of these champions have at least one ability capable of restoring their health:

Note


Health as scaling[]

Effects may benefit from (scale off of) a percentage/ratio, of current HP, missing HP, maximum HP, or bonus HP. Maximum health specifically can be modified by debuffs or buffs running out/being removed.

For the full list of game elements that have a scaling with health, see the main article above.

Grey health[]

Grey health indicates the portion of damage that was recently taken, stored on the health bar. It is designated for certain champions' abilities. Effects based on health do not account for grey health.

Champions with grey health:

Grey health appears dark grey on the health bar and between current health and any active Hybrid resistances icon shields.

Health threshold[]

K'Sante All Out health threshold

Health threshold as indicated on the health bar.

A unit that has a health threshold cannot exceed a certain amount of maximum health neither through Heal power icon healing nor Health regeneration icon health regeneration. If the unit is above the threshold at the time of being affected by it, their current health is reduced to the threshold.

Abilities that grant a health threshold:
