Slitterhead Blood Calc
Resource Management & Damage Planner
Blood is Power: The Economy of Slitterhead
In Slitterhead, your health bar is not just a survival metric; it is your ammunition. Every powerful skill consumes Blood (HP), forcing you to balance aggression with vulnerability. This calculator helps you determine the exact limits of your current host body.
💡 The "Possession Loop" Strategy
The key to high-level play is knowing when to discard a host. Don't wait until you have 1 HP. Use this calculator to find your "Burn Phase"—cast your strongest skills 3-4 times, dealing massive damage, and then immediately possess a new civilian to reset your HP pool and cooldowns.
Rarity Scaling
Not all humans are created equal. "Rarities" (indicated by stars or aura) determine stats:
- 1-2 Star: Fodder. Low HP, weak skills. Use for mobility or quick escapes.
- 3-4 Star: Combat Capable. Decent HP pools allow for sustained skill usage.
- 5 Star (Rarities): Boss killers. High HP and unique, devastating Blood Skills. Prioritize keeping these alive.
Blood Recovery
You can recover HP by attacking enemies with standard melee strikes (Blood Absorption). If your Skill Cost is 150 HP but you only recover 10 HP per hit, you need to land 15 basic attacks to pay for one skill. This "Recovery Deficit" is what eventually forces you to switch hosts.
