Blood Bags and Blood Types
Learn your blood type by filling an empty bag, read the compatibility chart, stock heal vs hosp bags, and link out for trading self-hosp.
By Weav3r
Overview
A filled blood bag restores life and cuts hospital time when the type is compatible, then puts you on medical cooldown. An incompatible bag hospitalizes you for about 90 minutes instead. Unlock filling/using bags with Intravenous Therapy (Education).
Trading self-hosp
Wrong bags are one clean self-hosp method before large trades or bazaar sales. Full checklist (revives off, SED/Ipecac/RR options, bazaar timing): How to trade → Self-hospitalize.
Learn your type
- Finish Intravenous Therapy (Biology track).
- Buy an Empty Blood Bag (Item Market, bazaars, or trades).
- Fill it when you can spare the life hit and medical cooldown.
- The filled bag you receive is your type (O−, O+, B−, B+, A−, A+, AB−, or AB+). Write it down before you use any bag to heal.
Read the compat chart
Rows = your blood type. Columns = bag type. Green (Heal) = compatible. Red (Hosp) ≈ 90 minutes self-hosp.
| You | O− | O+ | B− | B+ | A− | A+ | AB− | AB+ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AB+ | Heal | Heal | Heal | Heal | Heal | Heal | Heal | Heal |
| AB− | Heal | Hosp | Heal | Hosp | Heal | Hosp | Heal | Hosp |
| A+ | Heal | Heal | Hosp | Hosp | Heal | Heal | Hosp | Hosp |
| A− | Heal | Hosp | Hosp | Hosp | Heal | Hosp | Hosp | Hosp |
| B+ | Heal | Heal | Heal | Heal | Hosp | Hosp | Hosp | Hosp |
| B− | Heal | Hosp | Heal | Hosp | Hosp | Hosp | Hosp | Hosp |
| O+ | Heal | Heal | Hosp | Hosp | Hosp | Hosp | Hosp | Hosp |
| O− | Heal | Hosp | Hosp | Hosp | Hosp | Hosp | Hosp | Hosp |
Pick your type
Heal bags for A+
O−, O+, A−, A+
Self-hosp bags
B−, B+, AB−, AB+
Same Heal/Hosp matrix as the guide chart (Torn blood compatibility). AB+ cannot self-hosp with bags alone - keep Ipecac / SED / RR. Self-hosp ≈ 90 minutes.
- AB+ heals from every bag (universal recipient). Hardest to self-hosp with bags alone; use backups from the trade self-hosp list.
- O− only heals from O−. Almost every other bag self-hosps you.
- Quick self-hosp pick: any red cell in your row.
Stock heal vs hosp
Self-sufficient loop: buy empties → fill them → keep stacks of your type for healing and of an incompatible type for self-hosp. You can also buy filled bags of other types.
- Heal bags - compatible types for your row. Expect medical cooldown after use.
- Hosp bags - any red cell in your row. Refresh the timer with another wrong bag while already in hospital if you need to stay down.
- Each fill costs life and medical cooldown - do not fill right before a fight when you need meds ready.
- War tip: small first-aid kits for tiny life tops; save bags for long hospital timers (Ranked wars).
- Empty and filled bags are also trade goods; prices move with wars and events.
Do this
- Finish Intravenous Therapy if you have not.
- Fill one empty bag; record your type.
- Stock heal bags (your type) and hosp bags (any red cell).
- Before large trades / open bazaar cash: follow How to trade → Self-hospitalize.
