Notes

• Exalted Blade's heavy melee attacks can benefit from Life Strike.
• Damage over time from status proc from heavy attack does not benefit from Life Strike.
• If a companion Kavat, Kubrow, or MOA has  Link Health equipped, they will also receive healing from Life Strike heavy attacks, even if the player's Warframe is already at full health.
  • Since Sentinel companions cannot equip  Link Health, they cannot receive this benefit.

Tips

• Life Strike works best with weapons that deal a large amount of damage per hit, like the Dragon Nikana, Nikana Prime or the Scindo Prime, as they restore a large amount of health per hit. Also, Life Strike works on Redeemer's, Redeemer Prime's and Sarpa's heavy attack bullets, allowing lifesteal over distance.
• This mod works with Exalted Blades.

Trivia

• Unlike most mods, the picture shows an Excalibur wearing the Pendragon helmet, his Immortal Skin, as well as a different color scheme. This is a rare instance of a mod depicting a non-default character loadout. The other examples are Second Wind,  True Punishment,  Enduring Strike, Warrior's Grip,  Killing Blow,  Quickening,  Corrupt Charge,  Shield Transference, and  Flow ( Primed), all but two of which are channeling mods. Coincidentally, all of said channeling mods depict Excalibur wielding a Nikana. The only difference in each appearance (besides positioning) is the energy color used.
• Prior to Update 26.0, this mod provided life steal on Channeling while reducing Channeling Efficiency.
