Health (commonly known as HP, an abbreviation for Health/Hit Points) is the amount of life a unit or structure has. Max health is the cap on life any unit can have. Current health is directly reduced by damage and is regained in many different ways.
Every unit and structure has their max and current health displayed as a bar above their models. When displayed over a champion's model in game, the health meter is displayed as segmented bars.
Additionally, for your own champion, it is represented in the interface as a green bar with two numbers ( # / # ): the first one represents the actual life available at the moment, while the second is the maximum amount of health the champion can have. If a champion's health reaches zero and he doesn't have any abilities preventing it, death will occur. Max health scales additively with every bonus health point and increases with each level, meaning that each bonus point acquired directly affects the statistic.
At level 18 base health ranges from here for the complete list.
1600 health to 2381 health. SeeEffective Health[]
Effective health is considered as the amount of health that a champion has plus 1% per unit of defense as extra health due to damage reduction. In other words, Effective health is the amount of damage the enemy needs to deal to kill the champion.
For example, a champion with 1000 HP and 0 armor and an enemy with auto-attacks that deals 100 damage, then the champion can be killed when 10 auto-attacks. If the champion has 100 armor, the champion prevents 50% of the damage so the enemy deals 50 damage with each auto-attack. Therefore, as each auto-attack deals half damage and the enemy needs to execute double the amount of auto-attacks to deal 1000 damage. So the enemy instead of dealing 1000 damage before reduction to kill the champion has to deal 2000 damage before reduction.
There is effective health for physical damage and for magical damage.
In short the formula is:
- Physical Effective Health = Max Health × (1 + Armor / 100)
- Magical Effective Health = Max Health × (1 + Magic Resist / 100)
What this means, the more armor/magic resist you have, the more health benefits you, and the more health you have, the more armor/magic resist benefits you.
Health as a casting resource[]
A few champions also use their own health to cast abilities instead of mana:
Other champions' abilities[]
- costs 40 / 64 / 88 / 112 / 136 health per use
- costs 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 / 14 health per attack

Damage scaling from enemy health[]
These abilities grant extra damage based on the target's maximum, current or missing health. Typically, the more health the target has (or has missing), the more damage these abilities will deal. Because of this they are more powerful against high-health targets, but their effect against low-health targets should not be ignored. Also note this type of extra damage is always capped against minions and monsters to prevent players dealing massive damage to high health pool monsters like Baron.
