11 Rally is a built-in combat mechanic in Windrose that lets a player restore a portion of recently-lost Health by striking an enemy within a short window of taking damage. Visually, the unrecovered portion of the Health bar appears as a lighter red strip; landing a hit on an enemy within roughly five seconds converts that lighter red back into full Health.

99 When to Use Rally
1010  
1111 Rally rewards aggressive play during boss fights and crowded encounters where retreating costs more Health than counter-attacking. The mechanic interacts strongly with Temporal Health (a related blue-shield resource that absorbs damage before it touches Health) and pairs well with high-attack-speed weapons such as the Rapier of a Thousand Cuts and the Cutlass, both of which can land multiple Rally-eligible hits within the 5-second window.

1313 Limitations
1414  
1515 Rally only restores the portion of Health visible in the lighter red strip, not the gray portion (already-lost permanent Health). Heavy single-hit damage from boss attacks can wipe out Health past the Rally-recoverable threshold, leaving only the small portion that fell within the most recent window. Rally also does not function if no enemy is within striking range, so positioning matters as much as timing.
