Life Steal

The Life Steal rune heals the player for 2% of all damage dealt, creating a powerful self-sustain loop that scales directly with offensive output. The more damage a player deals per second, the more HP is passively recovered without consuming potions or food. This makes Life Steal especially potent in sustained combat scenarios where enemies are numerous and the fight extends beyond what a single healing potion window covers.

Life Steal is available starting at the Small size and can be crafted upward through the rune upgrade chain by combining five of the current size Life Steal runes with five Runalit crystals at the Rune Crafting Station. Higher rune sizes increase the heal percentage, making Perfect Life Steal the long-term goal for sustain-focused builds. The universal upgrade formula applies at every step: five runes plus five Runalit.

Life Steal is most impactful in Warrior builds that deal rapid, consistent physical damage and benefit from the Rune of Strength and Strength potion stacking. In mob-dense zones where kill count is high, Life Steal turns the act of farming into a self-healing loop, dramatically reducing potion consumption. Pair it with the Battle Feast rune in a second weapon slot to cover both HP sustain from Life Steal and stamina sustain from Battle Feast simultaneously.
