Stage HP is a feature of some enemies, granting them extra health the higher the stage number they're encountered in is.

Calculation[ | ]

The formula for an enemy's total health (HP) is

where Base HP and Stage HP are the defined HP values for the given enemy and displayed in the enemies' pages, Stage is the current stage number as defined internally by the game, and min and bound are functions that take the smaller of two values or bound the middle value between the two others, respectively.

In practice, this means that the enemy gains Stage HP extra health for the first 4 stages, gains nothing for stage 5, and then 4/5ths of Stage HP for each stage up to stage 10, after which their health stops increasing.

Chapters map to stage numbers as follows:

Example[ | ]

Consider a DipDip with 3 base HP and 1 stage HP.

  • Basement I, i.e. stage 1: HP = 3 + (min(4, 1) + 0.8 × bound(0, 1 - 5, 5)) × 1 = 3 + (1 + 0.8 × 0) × 1 = 4
  • Womb II, i.e. stage 8: HP = 3 + (min(4, 8) + 0.8 × bound(0, 8 - 5, 5)) × 1 = 3 + (4 + 0.8 × 3) × 1 = 9.4
  • The Void, i.e. stage 12: HP = 3 + (min(4, 12) + 0.8 × bound(0, 12 - 5, 5)) × 1 = 3 + (4 + 0.8 × 5) × 1 = 11
