Effect

What Vitality does

Increases max HP.

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

Per level

Vitality by rarity

Common+15 Max HP
Uncommon+20 Max HP
Rare+25 Max HP
Epic+30 Max HP
Legendary+40 Max HP

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

Fit

Who Vitality is for

Vitality 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 Vitality

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.
