Bleed



Bleed is a damage over time effect, represented by a red drop. At the beginning of an affected hero's turn they will take damage equal to the bleed strength. Lasts for a specified amount of turns (accessible by hovering cursor over red drop). Most bleeds in the game last for 3 turns, 5 if applied by a critical strike.

Bleed effects can be removed with a bandage, or skills that cure; including the Plague Doctor's  Battlefield Medicine, and the Hellion's  Adrenaline Rush.

Bleed can kill a character on Death's Door before they can use a bandage on their turn. If out of combat there will be a chance to use food or a bandage to prevent death.

Can be avoided by increasing bleed resist.

Heroes with Bleed skills:
 * Bounty Hunter
 * Hellion
 * Highwayman
 * Hound Master
 * Jester
 * Plague Doctor

Additionally, the Grave Robber can debuff enemies to make them easier to bleed.
