What is Leech Skill in Outriders

Players are encouraged to experiment with all the different skills available in Outriders. The Leech Skill allows the players to regain some of their health based on the amount of damage they deal to their enemies. 

The healing from the Leech skill is a little different from the standard healing and health regeneration. The Leech Skill is extremely useful for players who prefer to fight their enemies head-on and put themselves directly in the line of fire.

The Leech skill in Outriders is further divided into two categories

• Skill Leech
• Weapon Leech

How Skill Leech Works

The Skill Leach in Outriders allows the players to regain their health based on the amount of damage the player is able to deal with their Class skills. These class skills include Anomaly damage and Status Damage such as Toxic, Bleed, Burn, and more.

What is Weapon Leech

The Weapon Leech in Outriders allows the players to regain their health based on the amount of damage the player is able to deal with their weapons. Therefore try keeping your best weapons with you to regain the maximum amount of health possible.

How Does It Work

The Leech Skill attributes are shown in the form of percentages. These percentages represent the amount of health you will regain after dealing damage to the enemy. Let us give an example. Say you were able to deal 200 damage to the enemy with a weapon, and you have a Weapon Leech of 10%. Then you will regain 20 health points.

How To Upgrade Leech Skills in Outriders

The Leech skill can be upgraded in two ways. The first way is to equip weapons and armor that increase the Skill Leach or Weapon Leech. The weapons and armor of higher rarity will naturally offer better attributes and percentage of the Leech skill.

Needless to say that the player will only be able to benefit from these attribute boosts if they have the weapon or armor equipped. The attributes of the weapon can also be improved through crafting and upgrading.

The second way to upgrade the Leech skill is to spend your class points on perks that specifically increase the Weapon Leech skill or the Armor Leech Skill. 

Different classes have different attributes to upgrade. The Trickster Class has the “Life Transfer” node in the Reaver Tree. Each of these nodes will increase the Leech skill by 6%, while the Pyromancer Class can improve their Weapon Leech by 5% for each “Moth of the flame” perk they unlock.
