Be Resilient and Manage Your HP

This skill is one of the Survivor-type skills that increase the effectiveness of healing and potions. Likewise, they offer countermeasures when Aloy is in low health, helping you last longer in battle and deal more damage while Aloy is dangerously wounded. To take full advantage of this skill, make sure you are managing your HP well enough to maintain control while on the threshold of very low health.
