* In one [[Fighting Game]] adaptation of ''[[
* In ''[[
* ''[[Disgaea 2 Cursed Memories]]'': Some abilities activate at less than 25% HP, such as the male ninja, which gains such a large evasion bonus that they can become nigh-impossible to hit.
* ''[[Dragon Quest IX]]'': A handful of abilities work like this, notably a Minstrel buff that "raises evasiveness in a pinch".
* ''[[Fallout 3]]'' and ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'': The "Nerd Rage!" perk maxes out strength and gives a sizable boost to damage resistance when your health is less than 25% of max.
* ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' has several examples:
** In a few games, some equipment can activate Protect, Shell, or Haste buffs automatically when the user's HP drops to critical levels.
** The Mystic Knight job in ''[[
** ''[[
** ''[[
** ''[[
** ''[[
*** The [[Updated Rerelease]] made the accessory also add the Berserk status in order to counteract the [[Game Breaker]] aspect.
** ''[[
** The [[Stone Wall|"Sentinel" class]] in ''[[
** ''[[
* ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'':
** "Defender" increases defense at critical HP, "Berserker/Striker" increases attack power, "Damage Control" halves damage taken, and "Grand Slam" boosts critical hit rate.
** ''[[Kingdom Hearts: 358 Days Over 2
* In ''[[The Legend of Dragoon]]'', Haschel's [[Infinity+1 Sword|most powerful weapon]] (the "Violent Mace") deals more damage the lower his HP is.
* In ''Legaia 2: Duel Saga'', certain equipment contains abilities that link a character's atack and/or defense powers to their current HP (directly or inversely). "Reverse-HP" and "Reverse-HP Defense", for example, provide greater effects at low HP. Each character also posesses a secret "Mystic Art" technique that can only be performed at less than half HP.
* ''[[Magic:
** The ''Dark Ascension'' set has several "Fateful Hour" cards that have improved effects if their user has 5 or less life.
* ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'': Main characters gain a slight defense boost at critical HP. They can also [[Regenerating Health|regenerate health]] by crouching and resting, but only as long as their HP is critical.
* ''[[Paper Mario]]'': Quite a few badges give these kinds of abilities, such as attack, defense, and evasiveness boosts. The "[[Fan Nickname|Danger Mario]]" setup milks this for all its worth by piling on as many such badges as possible and then deliberately keeping Mario down to 1 HP as long as possible.
* ''[[
** Inverted in B/W by the ability Defeatist, which lowers your stats when HP is less than half.
* In the [[Pokémon Ranger]] spinoff series, "latent power" boosts the Styler's [[Call a Hit Point
* One skill in ''[[Soul Calibur]] IV'' is "Will power", a passive ability that boosts a character's attack power when low on HP.
* ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' has the pilot skill "Prevail", which increases accuracy, defense and evasion stats as hit points for their respective unit decrease. Every game has it, and so does every pilot (including bosses).
* ''[[Super Smash Brothers Brawl]]'': Lucario's attacks become stronger (and hit more easily) as his damage increases.
* ''[[
** The Equalizer, an alternate melee weapon (a pickaxe) for the Soldier, boosts its attack power (and the Soldier's speed) at low HP.
** One of the Sniper's unlockable melee weapons, the Shahanshah, inflicts double damage if the sniper's HP is below half.
* In ''[[
* ''[[World of Warcraft]]'': Affliction warlocks get a healing bonus to their [[Life Drain]] when at 25% health or lower; subtlety rogues have Cheat Death, which gives them a [[Last Chance Hit Point]] and massively reduces damage taken for three seconds.
** Blood Fury, one of the Orc racial abilities, used to grant more power the lower your health when you used it.
