Effect

What Renewal does

Chance to heal HP on a landed hit.

Renewal is a level-up pick that raises Lifesteal for the rest of the run. Every further pick adds another level, up to 60; rarer offers grant more per level.

Per level

Renewal by rarity

Gain per level of Renewal
Common+5% Lifesteal
Uncommon+6% Lifesteal
Rare+7% Lifesteal
Epic+8% Lifesteal
Legendary+10% Lifesteal

Luck — from Fortune or the Censer — shifts your offers toward the rarer rows.

Fit

Who Renewal is for

Renewal acts on your hero rather than on one skill, so it fits every build. Melee heroes who stand in the horde get the most out of it.

Timing

When to take Renewal

Take it when the horde starts landing hits — usually around the first minibosses. One defensive potion early buys the time your damage needs to scale. Out of slots? The Thorn Archive on each floor’s plaza removes a potion, and the Diamond Trader sells extra potion slots.
