Vitality Crystal
DefenseComponent300g
The default tier-1 HP buy — 230 HP for 300 gold — a universal early survivability pickup.
Stats
- HP
- +230
- 1820
Each bar is scaled against the highest value of that stat on any item in the game — the faint number at the end of the track is that maximum.
When to build it
Not a counter-item; grabbed turn 1 by almost any hero needing more HP cheaply, and a component in a wide range of tier-3 defense, magic and hybrid items.
