How Do I Increase My Health in Lego Fortnite?

You start out with only three hearts for your total health in Lego Fortnite, which is a travesty. Even some of the weaker enemies nearest your spawn point, such as the spiders and rollers, can take you out in just a few hits due to it. Fortunately, there is a way to increase your hearts even early on so you can survive for much longer in fights.

The only way early on to increase your health is to equip the health charms. There are varying strengths of health charms, but they each give you more hearts. In addition, they also give you stronger defensive stats, so those enemy hits won’t hurt as much. A health charm is an essential item all players should aim for as soon as possible.

How Do I Get Health Charms?

Unfortunately, there are only two ways to get health charms and they will take a bit of effort out of you. The first is to craft it for yourself through the crafting bench. It takes three silk thread, one marble, and one shell. Silk comes from defeating spiders, while shells come from defeating rollers. Meanwhile, you get marble from various caves in the world.

The other way to get health charms is through treasure chests and loot llamas. You can find these by following the rainbow butterflies that randomly appear in the world. They will lead you to treasure chests, in which I have found health charms in before.

Lego Fortnite is available for the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and mobile devices.
