11 The Rally System is Windrose's signature in-combat healing mechanic. Taking damage briefly leaves a portion of your lost health as temporal health, shown on the HP bar as a lighter shade of red. Striking an enemy within the recovery window converts that temporal health back into permanent HP.

33 Because Rally rewards aggressive counterattacks, it is widely regarded as the strongest in-combat heal in the game, provided the player can execute the timing.

2727 Tips

2929 Rally is weakest against ranged enemies who stay out of strike range. Carry a backup Pistol to secure at least one hit for the Rally window.Against bosses with poise shields like Thomas Richards, Rally timing must match shield-break windows. Heavy attacks break shields and also land Rally recovery.Rally favors melee builds because melee lands more frequent hits inside the recovery window; a pure ranged kit gets far less out of the mechanic.Pair Rally with Seafood Platter (+20 Vitality) for more temporal HP to recover per exchange.
