Gain on hit

"Life Gain on Hit" redirects here. For the support gem, see Life Gain on Hit Support. For the passive skill, see Life Gain on Hit (passive skill).

Gain on hit is a form of recovery that instantly restores an amount of life, mana or energy shield for each hit by the character's skills. Most instances of gain on hit require a damage source of attack, as opposed to a spell or secondary. The exception where it applies to a non-attack source is Cybil's PawCybil's Paw

Mechanics

When an enemy is hit by an appropriate skill, the attacker or caster gains an amount of life/mana/energy shield equal to combined gain on hit bonuses from all sources respectively. This applies to each enemy hit by player's skills, so a single skill that hits multiple targets can trigger more than one gain on hit effect. Unlike leech, life, mana, and energy shield gained this way are restored instantly.
