Gotchas
The mechanics people most often get wrong about this item.
- The bonus base health applies only to starting base health and boon health, not health from abilities or other items
Problems it answers
- Burst damage — “I die before I can react.”
- Dive onto the backline — “They jump straight past the frontline onto me.”
- Gap closers and escapes — “They reach me whenever they want and leave when they want.”
