Does wicked season reset death health?

[Sebaufiend]

Every time I have ever played a game where I picked wicked season as my arcana, if I don't end the session without infinite corridor or crimson shroud, I just can't win.

Can anyone confirm or deny?

Right now I'm suspecting something like this.
Imagine enemy has 1000 hp. It gets dealt 500 damage. Then wicked season happens and he gets a 200% health bonus. Now the enemy's max health is 3000, but it's current health is 1500. This enemy gets dealt 700 damage. The enemy's health is now 800. Then the health bonus disappears but this only effects the maximum health, so the enemy now has 800 hp, when before the last attack it was 500.

So now imagine doing this with an enemy with 2^16-1 hp.

Death has 65.350 HP multiplied by your FINAL level when it spawns so yeah that's 6,000,000+ if you end up with over 100+ levels and with Wicked Season adding some value when the "Curse" phase triggers, you may be looking at 20,000,000 HP or more.

That's sort of my point. Does wicked season reset maxhp or current hp? When the deaths start spawning every minute, it really ♥♥♥♥♥♥ matter if the dude with millions of health resets his health.

Oh, dude, it is much worse than you think.

Unless something has changed in the game, Wicked Seasons does NOT reset any enemy's health. Wicked Season increases your Luck, Growth, Greed, and CURSE by +1% each time you gain a new level. Curse is the important bit.

Death has 655,350 base HP, multiplied by your level AND curse.

Let's assume that you have Torrona's box +100% curse, Skull O'maniac +50% curse, you have +50% curse from power ups, took Wicked Season at level 1, and you are level 180 when Death spawns. Your curse would be 380%.
So, 655,350+ (655,350 x3.8) = 3,145,680 BASE HP and multiplying that number by your level (180) gives you 566,222,400 HP on Death when he spawns.
Even if you have ZERO curse, at level 180, Death would have 117,963,000 HP.

This is why you usually need the evolved clock, though if you're using something like, say, Cosmo while having the divine bloodline arcana and the red mantle, you're almost immortal and can, provided your weapons are sufficiently bonkers, eventually wear them down.
I've done it in one run, took me like, 5-6 minutes maybe? It took a lot of time, and if you just wanna kill death, just go with having the clock.
