Blood Tribute

weapon · Tier 3 · 3,200 souls passive+active Verified

What it does

A toggle that burns your own health continuously in exchange for fire rate, debuff resist and move speed. As of March 2026 it no longer applies any healing reduction to enemies.

Numbers: Toggle: -50 health/s, +35% Fire Rate, +35% Debuff Resist, +2m Move Speed. Passive +8% Debuff Resist, +8% Spirit Resist, +4 out-of-combat regen

Buy it when

Buy on a high-sustain gun hero who can pay the health cost, especially when enemy crowd control is the main thing stopping your damage.

Skip it when

Never buy this as an anti-heal item — that function was removed in March 2026 and any guide that says otherwise is stale.

Gotchas

The mechanics people most often get wrong about this item.

  • Healing reduction REMOVED 6 Mar 2026; self-damage raised 40/s -> 50/s in the same patch
  • Still a debuff-resist source while toggled on
