Bond of Life is a Genshin Impact mechanic that mitigates and interrupts healing, and functions as a status effect. Learn how to use Bond of Life as a buff, avoid it as a debuff, and its multiple sources here!
Bond of Life is a mechanic that debuted in Fontaine that cripples a character's ability to be healed by inflicting this status effect on them. It functions as a red negative HP bar that comes from the right of the player's regular health bar.
This red bar represents the amount of Bond of Life currently present on the player. It is worth noting that Bond of Life lasts a long time compared to most status effects if not properly dealt with.
This status effect can be voluntarily applied by the active character to themselves via abilities and weapons, or it can be applied onto them by an enemy.
Regardless of the source, characters that can take advantage of Bond of Life can use this effect.
The red HP outline functions as the Bond of Life amount present, and incoming healing will reduce this red outline until it is completely outhealed by the player, or cleansed by a Statue of The Seven.
Once the red outline is gone, players will be able to heal normally again without Bond of Life's status effect unless it is re-applied onto them.
