Effect

Every 5 minutes, you gain 5 absorption hearts (10 absorption HP) that last until depleted by damage. These extra hearts act as a buffer that absorbs damage before your real health is touched, providing excellent passive survivability.

Tips

  • Apply to your helmet or chestplate since those rarely have competing rune options.
  • The absorption hearts refresh every 5 minutes regardless of whether the previous ones were consumed.
  • Excellent for boss fights where the extra health buffer can save you from a lethal combo.
  • One of the most expensive runes to craft due to the gold requirements -- save it for your best armor.
