00:04Hi everyone, my name's Chloe and I'm on the team at Turtle Rock Studios.
00:08Today we'll be going a little deeper into health regeneration and strikes.
00:13Anyone who's played Evolve knows that damage is inevitable.
00:16At some point you're gonna fight and sometimes the key to going on to win
00:20is being able to manage your health and bounce back.
00:23As a monster player, you can regenerate armor by eating wildlife,
00:27but it will also regenerate slowly over time.
00:29While your armor can always regenerate, your health cannot, so be careful with it.
00:35Hunter players rely on their medics to heal them using healing devices like the med gun
00:39and abilities like the class-wide healers.
00:42While each side has a way of erasing the damage done to them,
00:45there is a way each side can inflict permanent damage.
00:48For the monster, permanent damage is done to the health pool.
00:51For hunters, that damage shows up as strikes.
00:54When a hunter is in-capped or dies, they get a strike.
00:58Every strike reduces their maximum health by a significant amount.
01:02But you only get two strikes, because instead of a third strike, you die.
01:09Respawning via the dropship will also add a strike to your health.
01:13The reason Lazarus is such a studio favorite is because he can prevent strikes using the Lazarus device.
01:19Whenever he uses it to revive an in-capped or dead hunter, he brings them back to life without a
01:24strike.
01:25This is huge in combat because it negates any progress the monster feels he's making.
01:32As you might imagine, dead hunters don't hang around forever.
01:35They do decay, making it impossible to revive the body.
01:39A good strategy for the monster is to eat the dead hunter, leaving Lazarus nothing to revive.
01:45Some of the most successful players will chip away at their opponents over the course of several fights,
01:50leaving the other side weakened for the final battle.
01:52It might be a better strategy to make some progress, run away, and live to fight later.
01:58Your opponents will be that much weaker having lost permanent health in the process,
02:01and hey, it's more fun for you.
