HP

Description
HP is your current health remaining. Your current health cannot exceed your Max HP.

When you run out of health, you will trigger on-death effects such as Second Soul, or die - ending your run.

Strategy and Synergy
Health is a core statistic, determining if you're alive or not. Having high remaining health can help you survive strikes, and use powerful abilities with confidence.

There are many points throughout a run where you may want to sacrifice health in favour of other resources such as in Dark Worlds, where you may spend current health to make some purchases in the Shop with your health instead of Money. Similarly, Pacts provide opportunities to give up health for benefits that will pay off long term, or even immediately, in your favour.

Accessing Dark Worlds is triggered by having full health before entering a world.

Trivia
The HP symbol represents a heart, a vital muscular organ found in humans and most other animals.
