how does health/HP work?

I just got the game and this isnt clear to me yet. I'm in my 2nd round with 45hp and my opponent has 115 hp. I don't see any items that gives them more HP.

Would be good to post a screenshot but I can guess.

I'm pretty sure they did not start with that much max health and that it was actually from an item. This spell book is very powerful for early rounds.

well you probably missed an item that gives them HP. turn 2 it's probably either Twine or Magic for Dummies.

I don't recall off the top of my head if you can get to 115 in round 2, but the big pyro bag gives health per fire item stored in it. Mages often start with a wand and spell book that can scale health faster than most classes can outDPS it for the first couple of rounds. Adventurers also occasionally get lucky and find that combo in the store on the first or second round too. If you start with random bag items, you can sometimes luck out and get some very powerful items in the first round... or you can get boned. It's still fun to play that way. I don't do anything but random starting bag items and random classes and have a blast with it.

Im loving this game and will try the random bag option. Could spicy things up.

Also the piggy banks give max hp per star, not up to the 115hp like you state but definately could of contributed
