Demonic Blood

⭐ RARITY: UNCONFIRMED
Effect (verified): Gain Max HP on enemy kills, stacking up to a cap (community-verified model: +0.5 Max HP per kill, up to 200 stacks).
Unlock: Raise your Max HP with Blood Magic a total of 400 times (account-wide).

Note on conflicting descriptions: Some aggregate guides list Demonic Blood as “+9 Max HP with Armor/Thorns.” Those summaries are inconsistent with stacking behavior observed in community testing/footage and recent patch discussions. This page follows the stacking Max HP on kills model until official notes state otherwise.

Overview

Demonic Blood is a scaling health item that rewards aggressive play. Each kill adds to your Max HP until you hit the item’s cap, making it a cornerstone for high-HP “tank” archetypes and any build that converts health into damage. If you’re new to items, browse the full Items database index first.

Unlock progress is tracked by increasing Max HP via Blood Magic.

🔓 How to Unlock

  1. Equip or find Blood Magic.
  2. Play runs where you frequently increase Max HP (kills, lifesteal spikes, events).
  3. When your account-wide total reaches 400 Max-HP gains from Blood Magic, Demonic Blood enters your item pool permanently.
Tip: Characters who snowball health (e.g., Vlad) and maps with dense spawns speed up the grind.

🔗 Strategy & Synergies

Core Ideas

Beefy Ring

Beefy Ring

Damage scales with Max HP. Demonic Blood’s scaling feeds this directly for “HP → DPS” builds.

Medkit

Medkit / Regen

More Max HP means more to refill; passive regen stabilizes low-risk farming.

Leeching Crystal

Leeching Crystal

Trade regen for big Max HP. Use with caution; it supercharges HP totals for HP-scaling builds.

Recommended Users

High-HP or sustain-oriented characters—like Vlad—benefit the most, especially when combined with Beefy Ring or steady healing from Medkit.
