Ubers

All ubers regenerate life like most monsters, but their high life means they regenerate substantially more per second than most. Monsters do not regenerate life while being damaged, so continuous damage such as Poison Damage or Open Wounds will halt their regeneration entirely. Prevent Monster Heal does not affect ubers. Note that ubers' immunities are not shown beneath their name like they are for other monsters.
