Comeback Kid

Once per combat, if an enemy lands a fatal blow, Comeback Kid will help you bounce back to life with 20% health.

Comeback Kid is a talent.

Overview

Comeback Kid prevents a character from dying to a single burst of damage. When an attack would reduce the character's vitality to zero, they instead survive with 20% health. This effect triggers once per combat encounter and only works in combat. Because the character never actually dies, it does not count as a resurrection.

Strategy

Comeback Kid is a defensive safety net. It provides insurance against being burst down in a single turn, but does not contribute to damage output or crowd control.
The talent is reactive – it only provides value if the character would have died, which ideally should not happen if the party's crowd control and positioning are effective.
Characters with  Glass Cannon are more vulnerable to burst damage, making Comeback Kid a reasonable pairing, although eliminating threats before they can act is generally a better use of a talent slot.
The once-per-combat limitation means Comeback Kid provides diminishing value in prolonged fights. However, if the character is resurrected during the same combat, Comeback Kid resets and can trigger again.
