Lives and Death — What You Lose and Keep

Updated · Basics

Quick answer

Each hero has 3 lives and loses one every time you lose a fight. At 0 lives the character is gone for good — its save slot and everything it carries. You keep your Lineage ranks (they boost every future hero) and whatever is in the Inn's shared storage. Some codes give extra lives.

How lives work

What you keep after losing a hero

Kept Lost
Lineage ranks bought at the Hall of Lineage — each rank adds roughly +4.66% HP, Attack, Magic and Defense to every future hero The character, its class and Super class
Items in the Inn’s shared storage chest Equipped gear and bag items

That’s the “lineage” in the name: each death makes the next hero stronger.

How to get lives back

Protect your stuff on your last life

Starting over on purpose

Losing all lives is also one of the two ways to change class (the other is buying a 100-Robux save slot) — see classes.

FAQ

What happens when you run out of lives in Pixel Lineage?

The character is permanently deleted — the save file and the items it was carrying are gone. Lineage ranks and the Inn's shared storage carry over to your next hero.

Can you get lives back?

Yes, from codes: 0y0, SAKURA, COMMUNITY! and ARENA each give 1 Life. Code rewards wait in your inbox, so you can claim them when you need them. Reviving inside a fight costs Robux.

Do you lose a life in the Arena?

No. Arena losses only cost rating.

Can you run from a fight?

There's no flee option. One guide notes you can return home from the bottom-left menu, but that ends your run.
