==Notes==
* If the affected character is also suffering from either [[disease]] or [[poison]], or from a health degeneration [[hex]], his [[health bar]] will be either green or purple, respectively, rather than pink.
* Bleeding is often caused by [[attack]]s. It can be used as a [[pressure]] and/or [[cover]] condition. There are a few skills that require it on a target for additional effects.
* Bleeding in itself isn't usually a big problem, but can play an important role in condition pressure-[[build]]s. Be cautious against builds that utilize skills exploiting a condition as a prerequisite, as it is relatively easy to inflict and often lasts for a rather long time.
