Regain System — Bloodborne

Use the orange window

After taking a hit, the orange portion shows HP that can still be recovered by attacking. It generally starts shrinking after about 2.5 seconds; the exact duration depends on the enemy attack.

Move to the target's flank or rear before striking back. If the enemy continues an uninterruptible combo, using a vial after repositioning is better than forcing a rally attempt.

Compare base values at +10

These are base values: each move applies its own rally multiplier. Attack speed also matters; a high value per hit does not guarantee the best recovery per second.

Check the exceptions

• Firearm shots do not produce rally. Final hits during an enemy's death animation can still produce it.
• Bolt damage prevents rally against Paarl and the Abhorrent Beast; fire prevents it against the Watchdog of the Old Lords, even with mixed damage.
• Weapon upgrades and certain gem effects increase recovery potential.
