Lifesteal

Lifesteal causes a unit to heal for a portion of the damage they deal with attacks. Each hit restores health based on the damage inflicted, turning offensive output directly into sustain. The more damage a Lifesteal unit deals per hit, the more health they recover.

Lifesteal is strongest on high-damage, multi-hit attackers who can rapidly top off their health through sustained aggression. Cats with strong Strength stats or damage-boosting buffs get more healing per swing. Pairing Lifesteal with abilities that hit multiple targets lets a cat heal massively in a single turn. When facing enemies with Lifesteal, burst them down quickly or apply Heal Block effects to prevent them from sustaining through your damage. Lifesteal does not work on damage-over-time effects, only direct attack damage.
