Health is a fundamental stat in League of Legends that determines a unit's hit points. When damage reduces health to 0, the unit dies. Health can be restored through regeneration, healing, life steal, and vamp.

Key aspects of health:

• Stacks additively (1:1 ratio)
• Champions have base health that grows per level
• Maximum health = base + bonus health
• Bonus health comes from abilities, items, runes, and buffs
• Gold value is 2.67 per health point

Health Bar Display:

• Green bar at top of HUD shows current/max health
• Hatch marks represent 100 health increments
• Segments show every 1000 health
• Different colors indicate allies (blue) vs enemies (red)

Effective Health:

• Measures actual survivability considering armor/magic resistance
• Physical effective health = Health × (1 + 0.01 × Armor)
• Magical effective health = Health × (1 + 0.01 × MR)
• Mixed effective health varies based on damage composition

Special Health Mechanics:

• Some champions use health as ability resource
• Grey health shows recently taken damage
• Health thresholds cap maximum possible health
• Health scaling affects abilities and items
• Health can be increased through items, abilities, and runes

Important Interactions:

• Health costs ignore invulnerability
• Abilities using health cannot kill the caster
• Effects scale off current, missing, maximum, or bonus HP
• Grey health doesn't count for health-based effects
