Healbane The cheapest anti-heal item: take it the moment an enemy's Lifesteal or a support's healing is out-pacing your damage. Watch out: Only applies through spirit damage, not plain bullet damage

Decay Buy when an enemy is healing through your damage and you want a point-and-click answer that does not rely on landing bullets. Watch out: Healing reduction raised -45% -> -50% on 6 Mar 2026
Toxic Bullets The gun-hero answer to enemy Lifesteal and big-health frontliners — buy it when an enemy is out-healing your damage. Watch out: Bleed does not build from melee attacks

Crippling Headshot Buy when one durable, self-healing enemy is the focus of every fight and you can land headshots. Watch out: The triggering headshot itself is dealt before the resist reduction applies
Inhibitor Buy on a gun hero when one enemy is both out-damaging and out-healing your team — it hits both problems at once. Watch out: The damage penalty does not apply to spirit damage from an enemy with Unstoppable active; the healing reduction always applies
Spirit Burn Buy on a heavy burst caster against an enemy whose Lifesteal or healing is the win condition. Watch out: 20s immunity per target means you cannot reapply it repeatedly to the same enemy
