Regeneration (effects)

Regeneration or healing effects are a group of spells and abilities that restore the hit points of a given unit. It is one of the most common effects in the game and available to virtually all races in one shape or form.

As a result, and to prevent it from being overpowering, all regenerative effects draw from a capped pool of healing unit points, i.e. 2/3 of the unit's maximum hit points . This means no unit can heal forever and it can never heal more than 2/3 of its maximum hit points at the start of a battle. Spells than temporarily increase the hit points will not increase the pool of healing points.

Disclaimer: Ahead of the Total War: Warhammer III release, it was announced all healing effects are being converted to a percentage of the maximum health per second from a flat value. However, the two previous games remain unaffected.

You can check how big the pool of healing points is and how many are left by clicking on the unit card in battle and hoovering the mouse over the icon on the right.
