CURRENT ITEM DOSSIER

Sustain and recovery

Your next bullet will heal you based on what target you hit.

Restorative Shot functions as sustain and recovery within the Weapon shop. The strategic value is extending effective health through healing, regeneration, or damage-based recovery. Because it is a early foundation item, the right comparison is the fight pattern it unlocks versus the other purchases that the same 800 souls could complete.

LOCK LAB ANALYSIS

When Restorative Shot belongs in the build

BUY WHEN
  • Fights last long enough for repeated recovery to outperform a smaller one-time defensive effect.
  • Your damage or support pattern can trigger the item's sustain consistently.
  • The enemy has not already made healing reduction the defining feature of the matchup.
SKIP WHEN
  • You are dying inside a burst window before recovery can accumulate.
  • Enemy anti-heal sharply reduces the value of the item's main contribution.
  • Your build lacks the damage uptime or safe positioning required to sustain through combat.
DATA-BACKED BUILD CONTEXT

Timing, movement, and hero fit

Restorative Shot is a early foundation item at 800 souls. Judge it against the next fight and the purchases it delays, not only against its isolated tooltip value.

Lock Lab has not received a reliable current sample for Restorative Shot yet, so no performance conclusion should be drawn from missing data.
