A character has multiple Life Meters. You might have to deplete all or just one of them to defeat them. Variants that have their own trope page: A Mana Shield is a common Layered Hitpoints variant, allowing you to use your Mana Meter as an extra layer on top of your regular Hit Points. Regenerating Shield, Static Health Subsystem Damage keeps track of the damage to each component of a character separately. Body Armor As Hitpoints, where the body armor takes all the damage, or mitigates damage to the core health bar as long as it exists. Commonly seen on a Marathon Boss. Often, each bar's depletion triggers a change in the boss' behavior as well, which leads to Sequential Boss or Turns Red. Contrast Shared Life-Meter. |

In Divinity: Original Sin II, every combat-capable character has both physical and magic armor from their gear in addition to a life bar; monsters generally have physical armor from their natural defenses but little to no magic armor. Each type of armor absorbs damage from attacks of that type until it's depleted, at which point that damage type will start draining the person's HP. Most status effects from abilities can only take effect if one of the armor types is depleted. A few attacks ignore both types of armor altogether, but they generally have long cooldowns to prevent them from being used several times in one battle. | |

Guild Wars 2 has the Necromancer's Death Shroud that radically modifies their abilities and adds a second layer of health that slowly decays over time when activated but prevents healing except for a few specific Necromancer traits that give gradual healing. The Path of Fire expansion adds the Barrier mechanic, used mainly by the Scourge and Weaver elite specializations, that adds temporary health that decays very rapidly and cannot exceed half the recipient's maximum health. | |

Master of Orion 2 has damage applied to sectored regenerating shields, then armor, then hull structure and systems — drive, computer and shield generator has separate points, other systems are either broken or not. A ship is killed only when its structure or drive is reduced to 0 HP. Drives are low on HP, but rarely get hit and stations haven't any. Some weapons can penetrate normal shields or armor, emission-guided missile variant always hits drives and one gun ignores armor and structure, dealing only shield and system damage, which can immobilize or kill ships really quick. All bypassing measures can be countered, though. | |

The Fire Emblem series occasionally uses this trope. Monsters in Fire Emblem: Three Houses have anywhere from 2-4 bars of health, the reserves represented by red crystal icons next to their HP. They also have Latent Abilities that activate as you take away bars. In Fire Emblem Engage, bosses have Revival Crystals, which refill their health each time it's depleted. Unlike Three Houses, though, the health bars are the same amount, whereas in Three Houses, monsters had more health in their last life bars than they did in their first ones. |

Dragon Age: Inquisition has health meters as usual, along with two possible extension on health. Barriers can be cast on party members by Mages, though they erode over time and don't benefit from armor damage reduction. Guard is generated by certain Warrior abilities, and while it has a far lower cap than Barrier, Guard does benefit from armor and doesn't deplete over time. Barriers are also vulnerable to magic-dispelling effects, while Guard is not. | |

Raptor: Call of the Shadows has this for the player. Each set of purchasable shields effectively gives the player an extra health bar. A maximum of five extra layers could be purchased from the store, but an unlimited amount could be stacked if you found them in the levels. Of course, considering how rarely they were found, if you were good enough to build up a significant stock over the normal maximum you didn't need those extra shields in the first place. | |

Each character in Pillars of Eternity has the Endurance bar and the Health bar. Endurance is depleted and recovered rapidly in combat and results in a Non-Lethal K.O. when depleted. Health is lost more slowly but having it hit 0 leads to either a permanent injury or the Final Death (on harder difficulties). Health can only be regained when camping, and with a few very rare and weak spells that serve as an emergency patch-up in a pinch at best. Otherwise, healing spells only restore endurance. | |

The MechWarrior series often mixes Subsystem Damage with multiple life bars like its source material. Mechs are split between multiple distinct zones (such as legs) which have their armor healthbar and internal structure healthbar. Stripping the armor of a section exposes the internal structure, allowing successive hits to damage the internals and individual components such as weapons. Blast through the internal structure and the entire limb or section is destroyed. A mech is only destroyed if it loses the center torso, cockpit, or in some games both legs. | |

Alpha Protocol uses the layered hit points system for both the protagonist and most powerful enemies, including bosses. The "regenerating shield" part is called "endurance," and it represents a combination of body armor and willpower, and notably does not block everything (explosions tend to "bleed" through, for example). It also featured a semi-layered health bar underneath. Health was split into sub bars which determined how much you could heal. During missions, health items could restore one's health up to the last bar that was full. For example, if you depleted a bar to half, it could be refilled. But if you depleted a bar fully, that bar would remain empty until the next mission. | |

Two superbosses in Final Fantasy XII, the Hell Wyrm and Yiazmat specifically, each had a variant of the game's normal boss health bar. What makes theirs different is the fact that they have 50 health bars apiece. Not too bad with the Hell Wyrm, which had only 8,930,711 HP. This sounds like a lot, and it is, but the game's battle system means you can hit hard and rapidly if you've got your Gambits set up right. That's nothing compared to what Yiazmat has. You really wanna know, huh? Well... 50,112,254 HP. Strangely, the other superboss of the game, Omega Mark XII, does NOT have a health bar like this, considering how it has 10,370,699 HP in the Japanese version (even there it doesn't have it!) Possibly justified for the western releases, which took 9,000,000 health off its original counterpart. | |

In Civilization VI, cities with walls gain two health bars, one for the city and one for the fortification. By contrast, earlier games have fortification buildings simply add to the health of the city. Certain units can bypass the walls to attack the city directly, and the replenishment of each has different qualifications: life regenerates automatically at a rate determined by population, whereas walls can only be repaired as a construction project which depends on the city's production rate and prevents the city building anything else, like new units. | |

Metal Gear games starting with Sons of Liberty (for enemies; the player doesn't get a separate stamina bar until Snake Eater) have separate stamina/psyche and health bars. The former is only drained by non-lethal weapons which are usually more difficult to use than their lethal counterparts (and games where the player has one, the bar slowly empties to represent starvation and/or exertion), but knocking enemies out has advantages (the most obvious one being that most bosses in the series give you some sort of bonus for knocking them out instead of killing them). | |

Kaiju Wars: The titular kaiju typically begin most missions with two-to-three health bars, and can gain more as they heal themselves. Fully depleting one of a kaiju's health bars will reduce its movement speed by one, making it more difficult for the kaiju to reach whatever building it's currently trying to destroy. In Pterus Ignis's case, bringing the creature down to its last health bar will also ground it, leaving it vulnerable to the player's non-anti-air units. | |

For the King: Both the Kraken and Sea King have a body and two tentacles, each with its own life meter. The Kraken will retreat upon losing a tentacle and is killed forever when the body is destroyed; the Sea King's tentacles will fight on after the body is destroyed, so all three parts need to be destroyed to kill it. | |

Dungeons & Dragons Temporary Hit Points is a common enough effect. In game this is the term for effects that give you hit points above and beyond your maximum, but depending on edition some spells also fit the trope description, such as Stoneskin. In 3.5 these spells were effectively a secondary life bar with bleedthrough for damage over a certain threshold - in Stoneskin's case, it blocked up to 10 points of damage per physical attack until it had blocked up to 150 points in total. Module S3 Expedition to the Barrier Peaks. Police robots had a 20 hit point force shield that acted like the Gamma World Force Field Generation ability, except that it regenerated at 1 hit point per melee round. In 3rd Edition, some powers can deal damage to a target's ability scores. At high levels, a lot of monsters have hundreds or even thousands of HP and often a Healing Factor, but only 10 points of their lowest ability score, and most creatures don't have anything to heal ability damage. Since a creature is incapacitated for at least a day when any of its ability scores falls to zero, this is a Game-Breaker that was not carried over to 4th Edition. |

In the Dynasty Warriors franchise, several games feature boss characters with multiple health bars. Arslan: The Warriors of Legend incorporates an "overshield" mechanic, in which an active shield protects the boss. The shield must be attacked and depleted before the boss characters starts to receive normal damage. In One Piece: Pirate Warriors and Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage, boss characters have a single health bar, split into multiple sections, which signify the different "phases" of the fight. | |

The Streets of Rage series tend to give the bosses these, and, depending on difficulty level, some of the lower-level Mooks as well. Streets of Rage 3 threw on a couple more layers for the English release. In the first game, a boss' life bar would not empty, but it would go through different color shades to indicate damage. Once their life bar turned orange, it then depletes as normal. The last two games has enemies with multiple life bars work the same way as the player's life bar where once it fully depletes, the next one pops up. |

The Mass Effect series uses kinetic barriers (referred to as "shields" by you and your squadmates) followed by your actual health. Enemies in Mass Effect 2 can have up to three layers of HP, the first being their Barrier or Shield, the second being their Armor and the last one being their Health. Mass Effect 3 makes Armor an alternative to Health rather than a layer of protection. | |

In Crying Suns, most battleships start with at least two "hull" bars, and you can get more by spending Scrap on additional hull structures. If a hull bar runs out of hit points, you’ll need to repair it by spending Scrap at a shipyard. | |

Bayonetta and its sequel has some of the tougher enemies and especially bosses who have multiple life bars (up to five layers) in different colors.

The earlier builds of Star Wars: Galaxies gave all characters a health, action, and mind bar. Depleting any of these three would result in the character becoming incapacitated and susceptible to a deathblow, and most attacks would hit one of the three at random. Oddly, these were same bars that were expended to perform both combat and non-combat actions, meaning that spamming special attacks in battle could easily reduce the bars to critical levels if you lacked buffs to reduce special costs. The mind bar was also the only one that couldn't be healed in battle, which gave classes with the ability to specifically target it an understandably huge advantage in PvP. | |

MediEvil has a potion system for undead hero Sir Fortesque; any time he recieves fatal damage, he automatically uses a full health potion if available, which represents each extra life bar.

The blood meter in Donna: Avenger of Blood isn't hit points per se, but rather your allowance for using superpowers (described below.) There is also a calmness meter, which fluctuates depending on various events — looking at the Countrysons poster and some of the letters reduces calmness, but smoking a cigarette increases calmness 'and' acts as the Hint System. | |

The final bosses of Rockman 4 Minus Infinity. The Wily Machine's first phase has what can only be described as a health bar made of health bars. That is, one full health bar, where each hit point represents its own separate health bar. That adds up to 29 times 28, or 812 hit points. However, it takes above average damage from every weapon and lacks Mercy Invincibility, so it's not as durable as it sounds. The Wily Capsule later on has two health bars, giving it 56 hit points. And then the Petit Robot Masters, who each has his own lifebar, with the one last hit's currently shown. That adds up to 8 times 28, or 224 hit points. The Petit Robot Masters are defused somewhat by the Wily Buster, which takes them out in a few shots. |

This was parodied in the Spider-Man 2 tie-in game. After having dealt with Mysterio a couple of times, running his obstacle courses and fighting through his fun house of illusion, all that's left is to defeat and capture him. Spidey gets word that Mysterio is...robbing a convenience store. Spidey shows up at the store, and when he approaches, a boss icon for Mysterio appears onscreen, which is then encircled by three health meters.note This is impressive looking, since the player has already fought Rhino, who had only one health meter. Spidey's first punch knocks him down and depletes all three meters. It turns out that without all his smoke and mirrors, Mysterio isn't all that impressive. | |

However, powerful attacks (melee attacks, explosives) directly damage HP, bypassing the armor entirely. Other bosses also have such high HP that the stat is displayed with multiple layered bars.

Mega Man Zero introduced layered life bars to the series, and Mega Man ZX continued this tradition. In fact, you can even get your own layered life bar. Before that, most of the final bosses relied on having at least 2 phases as extra health, while Wily Wars featured Hyperstorm H, the only boss that had more than one health bar in the series, not counting layers or phases. |

Frostpunk has two bars equivalent to a Morale Mechanic: Hope and Discontent. You need to keep Hope high and Discontent low. If Hope gets too low or Discontent gets too high, your citizens will threaten to overthrow you. Many actions and events will affect one or the other, and occasionally both. Eventually, you can choose to pass a law that crosses the Moral Event Horizon and eliminate the need to maintain Hope. | |

Once this bar is depleted, the shell breaks off, leaving the vulnerable flesh underneath exposed. Put enough rounds in that, and the Dreadnought finally dies. | |

Bosses in Breath of Fire I had 2 life bars. A normal life bar, and a hidden one that activated once the normal life bar was depleted. The boss typically changed tactics once the hidden life bar activated. | |

The Syphon Filter series has a health bar that's intentionally obscured by an armor bar. When armor is depleted, your health is damaged directly. Notably, armor was much tougher than health, as the same amount of damage to completely reduce your health to zero will only take off about half of your armor. Headshots bypass armor directly and are always instantly fatal. | |

Dead In Vinland, like its predecessor Dead in Bermuda, has five health bars measured as a percentage (where lower is better): Fatigue, Hunger, Sickness, Injury, and Depression. The higher the percentage, the worse penalties that character gets to skills tied to that meter (with Fatigue penalizing all skills). Reaching 100% on any one of them kills a character. | |

Team Fortress 2 features Temporary Hitpoints known as "overheal", bestowed by the Medic's Medigun and certain Life Drain weapons. Overheal slowly depletes over time (how fast it depletes depends on your maximum HP; full overheal will always be gone after 20 seconds). | |

Final Fantasy V gives us the debut of Golem, who once summoned absorbs damage for your party. Final Fantasy X has a Giant Flyer enemy that basically has an extra lifebar: it starts out every battle flying but lands when heavily damaged. Thing is, you can't one-shot it even with 99999s, it always goes to the landed stage with HP to 1. Two superbosses in Final Fantasy XII, the Hell Wyrm and Yiazmat specifically, each had a variant of the game's normal boss health bar. What makes theirs different is the fact that they have 50 health bars apiece. Not too bad with the Hell Wyrm, which had only 8,930,711 HP. This sounds like a lot, and it is, but the game's battle system means you can hit hard and rapidly if you've got your Gambits set up right. That's nothing compared to what Yiazmat has. You really wanna know, huh? Well... 50,112,254 HP. Strangely, the other superboss of the game, Omega Mark XII, does NOT have a health bar like this, considering how it has 10,370,699 HP in the Japanese version (even there it doesn't have it!) Possibly justified for the western releases, which took 9,000,000 health off its original counterpart. In Dissidia Final Fantasy, you have crystals representing every 1000 hit points (up to 9 crystals). The sequel, on the other hand, has a straight-forward bar reflecting your percentage of remaining HP. |

In Mutant: Year Zero, each of the four Attributes act not only as skill checks for certain rolls, but also as their own individual health bars for certain attacks. Any damage dealt to them results in Trauma to that Attribute and lowers the amount of dice that can be rolled on it, until it is recovered by the necessary need for recovery. If any of the Attributes reach zero, the player's PC or NPC becomes broken and they can be killed by the next attack against them. | |

Dragon Ball: Advanced Adventure uses the method of layered lifebars to indicate that much more health while conserving screen space. Even though there's health power-ups that give you more layers on your lifebar, the first fights against General Tao and King Piccolo start you with one layer when the opponent has several, the telltale sign that the plot's calling for Goku to get clobbered. | |

EVE Online ships have shield, armor, and hull HP bars. Layered, but once one bar is sufficiently lowered, damage can start bleeding through to the layer underneath. If shield and armor are gone, the ship's weapons and modules are exposed to attacks. Any damage to hull may bleed through modules, damaging or disabling them. Even if the ship survives the ordeal, it has to dock up and get repairs to be spaceworthy again. |

BattleTech has both multiple life bars and Subsystem Damage. BattleMechs are broken into Left/Center/Right Torso (each with front and rear armor facings), left/right legs and arms, and the head. Each section has Armor and Internal Structure. Once the armor is destroyed, the internal structure will be damaged on every hit and can have a very high probability of causing Critical Hits on components mounted in that section. High-value systems like the fusion reactor, stabilization gyroscope, and sensors can take multiple hits (though not with Critical Existence Failure, their function will be impaired with each hit before full disability) though most weapons will be disabled in one hit and ammunition magazines will go boom with one hit. The pilot has a semi-independent "health bar", as things that damage the 'mech may not necessarily injure the pilot. A 'mech may be rendered tactically inert (but possibly salvageable), but the pilot may survive having their 'mech shout out from under them (possibly by hasty vertical evacuation from the 'mech). A 'mech might be decapitated by death of the pilot (by whatever cause), but the 'mech can be salvaged. Like the heavy core components, the pilot doesn't have Critical Existence Failure either; each injury causes the chance of being rendered unconscious from the injury, with the odds of such happening (and the difficulty of coming to again) increasing with each hit. | |

League of Legends has a weird example in the form of Kled. He has two health bars: his own and his mount's, Skaarl. While he's mounted on Skaarl, the latter takes all the incoming damage, and any additional health from items, masteries, runes and abilities goes to Skaarl, while Kled's own health grows only by leveling up. When Skaarl's health is depleted, she runs and leaves Kled on his own, and only comes back when he charges up his courage again, regaining Skaarl's health bar on top of his own (whatever is left of it). This can happen several times on a single fight as long as Kled keeps on gaining courage by recklessly attacking the enemy, which makes Skaarl's health bar function more like a regenerating shield for Kled than a proper health bar. | |

In Rapid Reload for the PlayStation, Area Bosses have several overlapping life bars, going from blue to green (which is the color of the player's only life bar) to yellow and finally to red.

There are three layers in Pardus, from first to last to take damage: Shields: Only available if you purchase a shield generator, which takes up some of your ship's cargo space. As such, they're rarely seen on trading ships. They are the only layer that does not have a value specific to each ship; rather, each shield generator has a different maximum health capacity. They cannot be repaired normally, but they regenerate a bit every 6 minutes and can be recharged at an Energy Well building. The Union has access to better ones with higher capacity and faster recharge rate, but even these don't count for much. Armour: Only available if you purchase armour, which doesn't take up any cargo space. It makes up the bulk of a ship's hit points, and is subject to Elemental Rock–Paper–Scissors. Its value is based on the innate armour value of each ship, subject to a multipiler (x1 through x5, with x6 in the weakest and strongest elements available to the Union) based on the grade of the armour item. Higher-grade armour still shows up with the same armour value, but divides incoming damage by the correct ratio (e.g. a shot that deals 60 damage would remove 12 points from x5 armour). Hull: Without either of the above items, this is your ship's only life bar. Like the shield, it doesn't count for much, but traders and capital ships tend to have higher values for it than fighter ships. Wormhole damage, including explosives detonated due to wormhole damage, will always damage hull directly, regardless of armour or shields, which matters because this is the bar that causes Critical Existence Failure when it hits 0. |

Alternity had four different types of damage, each of which had to be tracked separately: stun, wound, mortal and fatigue. Losing half of your stun or wound points inflicted negative penalties. You suffered the same penalties for each point of mortal or fatigue damage. Armor only prevented the most severe damage, allowing half that value of lower damage to leak through. In theory, you could beat someone into unconsciousness even if they're wearing armor that entirely outmatched your regular damage value. Spaceships were divided into sections, each of which could be independently knocked out. |

Spaceships in Stellaris can have up to three health bars. They always have a hull bar, and can be constructed with armour and shields. Shields regenerate automatically, while armour and hull regeneration is restricted to refitting at starbases unless unlocked in the technology tree. Ship-mounted weapons are generally more effective versus one kind of defence and less effective (or even useless) against another, so tactically-minded players can design ships that can punch far above their listed military strength when used against the intended targets. | |

Many Harvest Moon games have both Stamina (your primary bar) and Fatigue (your secondary bar).

Humans spawn with no AHP by default, but can acquire it by eating Blue/Rainbow candy from SCP-330, or by using Adrenaline. SCPs get Hume Shields, which fully absorb damage taken and regenerate after not taking damage for long enough. |

Kingdom Hearts bosses use layered health bars (which are only visible with the Scan ability). In Kingdom Hearts, there is a single bar that cycles through colors for each additional bar's worth of health (green > yellow > orange > pink > purple, with green being the "base"). Some bosses (such as Sephiroth) had health beyond the maximum the bar could display, causing them to appear to be taking no damage from any attacks until they were brought in range. Every game since then has stuck with a green bar and squares underneath, showing how many they had in all. In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, however, the colors are mixed up (green > blue > yellow > red, with green being the "base"). From Kingdom Hearts II onward, the colored bar system was ditched in favor of a HP gauge counter, with one full HP bar representing 200 HP. | |

1E Gamma World Mutants with the Force Field Generation ability could create a force field that absorbed up to 5 dice of damage. Once the force field went down, any further damage reduced the mutant's hit points, and the force field could not be generated again for 24 hours. Some types of powered armor had force fields that worked similarly, except that they returned to full strength at the start of the next melee turn even if they took more damage than their limit. |

You can abuse this fact by positioning yourself so your attacks hit both him and one of the cages simultaneously. | |
