EDIT: "growing sparser" definitely reduces HP. I'm using Dynamite for easy consistent damage.
From a new run, I did these combats:
| Dam done on combat rounds | Max HP | |
|---|---|---|
| Normal | 14 / 14 / 14 / 14 | >56 |
| Normal | 14 / 14 / 14 | >42 |
| Normal | 14 / 14 / 14 / 14 | >56 |
| Normal | 14 / 14 / 14 | >42 |
| Normal | 14 / 14 / 14 / 14 | >56 |
| Normal | 14 / 14 / 14 / 14 | >56 |
| Normal | 14 / 14 / 14 / 14 | >56 |
| Normal | 14 / 14 / 14 / 14 | >56 |
| Normal | 14 / 14 / 14 / 14 | >56 |
| 1 sparser | Grow sparser / 14 / 14 / 14 | >42 |
| 2 sparser | Grow sparser / Grow sparser / 14 / 14 / 14 (win) | 29-42 |
