Avarice the Gold Cursed is ready to injure players with its mammoth, sweeping attacks…(Picture: Blizzard)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWhen you start gearing up in Diablo 4, you might find items with affixes that have the “While Injured” effect. For example, Polearms all have an affix that grants an increased percentage of damage to Injured enemies. Another example is the Barbarian’s Slaying Strike in the skill tree, which adds 7.5% damage to Injured enemies.<\/p>\n
You will also find the Injured status effect on some Glyphs and Legendary Aspects. It is an important effect that Diablo 4 players need to be aware of, so check out a very quick explanation below:<\/p>\n
Injured means the enemy or your character is below 35% health. At this point, effects from affixes that have “When Injured” are applied.<\/strong><\/p>\nSo what does this mean in terms of gameplay? Well, the effects get applied automatically to enemies. For your player character, we suggest avoiding big damage hits by using Health Vials before your character goes below 35% health. Going into big fights against strong elite packs or bosses can therefore be prepared for by using skills or triggering Fortify\/Barriers, giving yourself effectively a larger health pool.<\/p>\n
Alongside the Injured status effect, you will sometimes also find a Healthy status effect. These effects apply when you are at 80% Health or above, and the same goes for enemies!<\/p>\n
