Health

Excuse me, I'm in need of medical attention!

The Civilian

Health is one of the most important resources in TF2 Classified because, as you can expect, you die if it reaches zero. Dying is usually considered to be a bad thing, as the more time you spend waiting to respawn, the less time you're spending killing the other team. Therefore, in order to have a good time, it is advisable to find a way to keep that health as high as possible, much like in real life.

Also check the table on the Classes page to see Health, Speed and Armor here.

Overheal

Overheal is an effect where your health is increased above your base health, maximum health up to 150% of their base health. For example, a Heavy has 300 base health, and thus recieves 150 extra health with overheal, totalling to 450 health in total. For some patients with lower max health, for example a Scout, if the overheal would end with a decimal, it is rounded down to a multiple of 5. So a Scout would only get up to 185 health with overheal.

Overheal is indicated to the player by their HUD health icon glowing and growing larger the more they are overhealed. Overheal is also visible to other players by the presence of overheal particles that come off of other players.

Overheal slowly decays with time, approximately 15 seconds, provided the person overhealed doesn't take any damage. The overheal decay time is the same regardless of your class. While a Spy can be boosted to 185 health and a Soldier is boosted to 300 health, they both decay in the same time.

Weapons that affect base health

Name	Picture	Class	Notes
Überspritze		Medic	The Überspritze decreases the Medic's maximum health by 10, down to 140.

Armor

Armor is an additional resource that absorbs 80% of damage taken by the player and reduces it by half. TODO: Add other details

Unlike health, armor cannot be given by Medics, Dispensers or resupply cabinets. It can instead be obtained from pickups or chargers in specific maps. Also, armor does not have an equivalent to overheal.
