Players will lose health in The Walking Dead: Destinies if a walker manages to grab ahold of them. If their health bar gets too low, they'll get a Scar, which makes it impossible for them to perform certain offensive or defensive actions.

When gamers' health reaches a critical level, they'll either become Cramped, Sore, or Wounded; these debuffs are considered Scars, as they affect the character's physical condition. However, if they get too close to death, their mental state will also be affected, and they'll become Panicked or even Wrathful. Here are the negative effects of these Scars and debuffs:
