This mechanic was introduced in 2018. Some monsters can inflict the bleed status effect when they hit you. This status effect always lasts 3 attacks. There is no cure, and waiting will not remove it. The only way to get rid of it is to attack 3 more times and suffer through the bleed damage.
Each attach you take where you have the bleed effect, you will take 1-6 bleed damage before you attack. This may mean you do not get to attack if your HP falls to 0 due to the bleed damage. If a monster inflicts bleed on you but you are already bleeding, the damage will remain the same, but the counter will reset to 3 more rounds of bleed time.
