Gotchas

The mechanics people most often get wrong about this item.

The bonus base health applies only to starting base health and boon health, not health from abilities or other items

Problems it answers

Burst damage — “I die before I can react.”
Dive onto the backline — “They jump straight past the frontline onto me.”
Gap closers and escapes — “They reach me whenever they want and leave when they want.”
