Life Debt in Genshin Impact: how the mechanics work, how to get and remove the effect

Life debt in Genshin impact - an effect that an active character can receive during battle. This mechanic is negative and consists of blocking part of your health and constantly absorbing incoming healing. Life debt can be imposed on heroes by both opponents and certain weapons.

In this guide, we will tell you about the principles of Life Debt, how to remove it and specifically assign this status to a character.

How Life Debt works in Genshin Impact

Life Debt is a debuff that is applied to the active character and absorbs part of his health. You can determine the amount of blocked HP by the red mark on the scale. The effect of Life Debt applied again stacks with the previous one. Additionally, the debuff cannot go away on its own. To get rid of Life Debt, you need to heal the character for the blocked amount of HP.

How to get Life Debt on a character

Although the debuff can be applied randomly during combat with certain opponents, with Fragment of harmonic fantasy, which uses the Life Debt mechanic to activate buffs. To do this, you will have to use not only enemies, but also character skills or ive weapon abilities.

Enemies

Opponents who can apply Life Debt to a character with some attacks:

• Frost Operator and Wind Operator. In addition to Life Debt, they are capable of inflicting Bullying, which increases incoming damage, which together with the debuff is a rather dangerous force.
• Weekly Boss Harlequin, Servant. If you remove Life Debt from an active hero, you will receive increased damage from charged attacks against the boss.

Weapon

Weapons that grant Life Debt after fulfilling the ive ability condition:

• One handed sword Grand finale of the depths. The life debt from the sword is 25% of the max. Character HP. To remove the debuff and get the maximum damage bonus, you need to absorb 6250 units. treatments possible with 25 HP of the hero.
• Catalyst The sparkle of clear waters. Life debt when using weapons is 25% of max. Character HP. To remove the weakening and get the maximum damage buff, you need to absorb 6000 units. treatments possible with 25 HP of the hero.
• A spear Outlines of the scarlet moon. Gives a debuff equal to 18% of max. HP after hitting an enemy with a charged attack.
• One handed sword Absolution. Increases all damage dealt as Life Debt increases.
• Bow Heart strings of rain. Increases HP when three conditions are met and increases the critical chance of elemental explosions.

Given the HP absorption mechanic, use weapons with Life Debt carefully. Also, do not forget about the presence of a healer in the squad who can remove the debuff if the specific equipment requires it.

Players

Of all the playable characters at the moment, only Sijwin are able to independently impose Life Debt on themselves and use it in combat.

Harlequin

The heroine places Blood Debt Command marks on enemies with an elemental skill, which are consumed by a charged attack or elemental burst. Each mark removed grants 65% Life Debt. If Harlequin has more than 30% of the active debuff, she gains Pyro Infusion and increases her damage.

Clorinda

The Fontaine Duelist has a special stance, in which normal attacks and ult activation increase the Life Debt indicator. Depending on the amount of Life Debt, the heroine's rotation can change, and, unlike Harlequin, Clorinda is able to play with healers, since she does not block healing, but converts it into Life Debt.

Sijwin

For Sijvin, Life Debt is a mechanic that indirectly increases the quality of her healing and makes it easier to gain energy by restoring it. There are no special features like Arlecchino or Clorinda, and the impact on the course of combat or handling of the character is minimal.

How to remove Life Debt

You can get rid of Life Debt only with the help of treatment in the amount of HP blocked by the debuff. In this case, treatment can come either from the healer or the character himself, or from food or statues of the Archons. While there is a red Life Debt mark on the health bar, HP will not be restored, and all the healing will be used to remove the debuff.
