How To Increase Health In Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Are you curious about how to increase health in Assassin’s Creed Shadows? Having higher HP, naturally, grants increased survivability. You can take more hits before your HP bar gets fully depleted. That, and you won’t end up panicking when you suffer damage and need to heal using rations immediately. Our guide discusses a couple of methods to keep your characters in tip-top condition.

How to increase health in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

You can increase the health of your characters through these methods:

• Acquiring and upgrading Naoe’s or Yasuke’s mastery passive perk.
• Equipping high-tier armors and amulets, as well as upgrading them further.

How to improve your mastery passive rank

Naoe and Yasuke have their own mastery passives based on their playstyle/archetype. For Naoe, you want to look at the Shinobi skill tree and, for Yasuke, you have to check the Samurai skill tree. The bottom-center of the panel shows their respective mastery passive.

To increase your health in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, simply spend enough points in the mastery skill tree until you reach a new threshold. A good example is how your characters reach their first health upgrade tier (+5% HP increase):

• Naoe needs to allocate a total of nine mastery points into Shinobi-type perks.
• Yasuke, meanwhile, must spend a total of 15 mastery points into Samurai-type perks.

How to get more HP via armors and amulets

In addition to the above, you may also boost your maximum HP further by equipping armors and amulets/trinkets that are at higher levels. Armors and amulets come with a base amount of bonus HP when worn. However, you can upgrade them via the blacksmith NPC in your hideout so they can be at your character’s current level. Doing so also increases the amount of bonus HP granted, as well as the other stats of the gear piece.
