A small, fast HUD for Azeroth Survivors

SurvivorsLite shows what matters in a run: your health and buffs under your character, boss and guardian bars, where the guardians' lairs are and when they come back, how far a guardian will chase you and how far your skills reach. It is a light replacement for SurvivorsDragonUi and does no per-frame work.

Download the latest release How to install What is confirmed in game

Version 1.10.0. Tested against the game's addon API of web build fe298f333712 (2026-10-31).

What it shows

Hero bar seen in game

Level, health, experience and lives under your character. Buffs and debuffs with time left, stacks and how much of the run each buff was up.

Run stats not confirmed

The character pane's numbers in a small panel while you play. A number that just changed shows green or red, so you see what a pick did.

Damage meter not confirmed

Your damage by spell as bars with icons, damage per second and share. Tabs for the party's heroes, the last boss fight and your healing.

Shield not confirmed

Your absorb shield as a pale segment on the health bar and its amount after your health, for example "300 +400".

Boss and guardian bars seen in game

Bars with health in percent and as a number, "ENRAGED" and your debuffs on them. Plain enemies get only a thin health bar.

Status list seen in game

One line per boss and guardian: health, asleep or awake, when a lair comes back and how far it is. The next boss and its countdown.

Guardian lairs on the minimap not confirmed

Each guardian is a dragon head in a color of its own on its pin, its line and its bar, drawn on a transparent background. The lair that comes back first glows and counts down. Chests show as small treasure chests.

Reset range (leash) not confirmed

While a guardian chases you a bar shows how far you led it from its lair against how far it follows. The real distance is learned in play.

Skill and range circles seen in game

A circle at your range, your pickup radius or any skill's reach, read from the skill's tooltip so it grows with the skill. Areas grow with your Area stat too.

Circles on the ground not confirmed

When the client gives the camera's distance and angle the circles lie on the ground in perspective. Otherwise they stay flat on the screen.

Floating action bar not confirmed

A compact bar made of the game's own buttons with cooldown seconds and the talents' clocks over it. Under it the jewelry you picked this run with its cooldowns.

Party not confirmed

Party frames with health, level, damage per second and revive progress. Party members get a class colored plate with an arrow.

Warnings not confirmed

The last 10 seconds before a boss comes, "Name is down!" when a party member falls and a red screen edge at low health.

Options window

Every setting changes live. Open it with /slite, the gear on the minimap, the gear on the action bar or the game menu.

"Seen in game" means a player screenshot or report showed it working. Everything else passes the test harness but waits for a check in the real game. See Feature status.

Install in a minute

Download SurvivorsLite-1.10.0.zip from the latest release.
In the browser game open Options, AddOns, Install and pick the zip.
Remove SurvivorsDragonUi on the same page so the two do not both run.
Start a run and type /slite to open the options.

The Windows build and more are in the guide.

Why it is fast

No per-frame work. A few tickers run 1 to 10 times a second and sleep when there is nothing to count down.
Plain enemies' thin bars are the game's own health bar made small, so they run no addon code. Only the few marked plates listen to their health.
The run's addon lines only set flags. Rebuilds run at most 3 to 5 times a second and text is only set when it changes.
In the test harness with 300 plates it uses about 3.5 ms of Lua per second. /slite perf measures it in your game.

Support

SurvivorsLite is free and open source. If it helps your runs, you can buy me a coffee on Ko-fi. Bugs and ideas are welcome in the issues.
