# Injury

If a Hero attempts a combat encounter and fails, there is a certain chance for them to get injured. Injury can **stack** and will result in a temporary reduction of Hit Points.

* 1 Stack of Injury = -10% of maximum Hit Points
* Maximum 9 Stacks = -90% maximum Hit Poins

#### Suffering Injury

The probability to get injured depend on the level difference (enemy level − hero level):

#### Recovering from Injury

To **recover** from Injury, there are three options:

* Use a **Health Potion** of various degree — consumed straight from your **Backpack** (Health Potions are **not** an option at the Healing Well)
* Visit a **Healing Well** (found in Villages, Cities, Estates & Provinces), which offers two heals: a **free daily heal** and a **TATO-paid heal** (see below)
* **Wait for 48 hours** to automatically recover
  * Timer resets every time an Injury Stack is added

{% hint style="info" %}
At the **Healing Well** you have exactly two options: the **Free Daily Heal** — the Village of Hearthstead offers one free **3-Stack Heal** every day (resets at 02:00 UTC) — and the **Heal at Fountain**, which removes **one stack** at a time for a small **TATO** fee. Health Potions are used from your Backpack, not at the Well.
