HadesHades II


Health is Melinoë's Life Total. By default, she has 30 health. If it reaches 0, she will leave and return to The Crossroads. You start each night with full health, and it is reduced by being hit by enemy attacks or traps, triggering relevant Chaos curses, entering a Chaos Gate.

When unlocking the Death Arcana Card from the Altar of Ashes, Melinoë can get Death Defiances. Instead of dying after receiving lethal damage which reduces her health to 0, Melinoë instead loses one Death Defiance charge, briefly becomes invulnerable, and restores 40% Health for a second chance.
